Today the world needs to exploit those big cumulated datasets to understand and interpret existent phenomena and other joint problems in different sectors (e.g., economic, health, education, and security) and enhance well-being by introducing intelligent and automatic processes and services. Artificial intelligence comes to answer those questions by leveraging the essential subfields like machine learning (ML) and deep learning. In this paper, we supply readers with a deep understanding of ML-based supervised learning (SL). We introduce machine learning in a general way and present its domains of application. After that, we discuss the popular SL-used algorithms and how to evaluate their performance. Then, we give a benchmark comparison based on our implementation of those algorithms in the field of heart-failure prediction.","PeriodicalId":354985,"journal":{"name":"2021 4th International Conference on Advanced Communication Technologies and Networking (CommNet)","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125239839","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our proposed routing algorithm considers multi-channel fading conditions and the battery recharging time (BRT) to enhance the overall network throughput. Our proposed scheme consists of three stages: path discovery, channel assignment and path selection. First, the channel assignment is formulated as an optimization problem, which is then formulated as a binary linear programming (BLP) problem. Consequently, the formulated problem can be solved in polynomial-time (PT) using linear programming (LP) techniques. To show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm, we compared its performance with That of the minimum hop (MH) algorithm. The presented simulation results show the performance superiority of the proposed algorithm, compared to the MH algorithm.","PeriodicalId":354985,"journal":{"name":"2021 4th International Conference on Advanced Communication Technologies and Networking (CommNet)","volume":"574 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123071712","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper addresses outdoor transmissions in 95-110 GHz over Line-of-Sight (LoS) Point-to-Point (P-P) links under various weather conditions (clear sky, 50m fog density, wet-snow (25% wetness), 35mm/h heavy-rain and 50mm/h violent-rain). An LTE testbed with up/down converters is used for video streaming at a carrier frequency of 105 GHz with an average Effective Isotropic Radiated Power (EIRP) of 68 dBm and a receiver antenna gain of 25 dBi. Streaming over 20 MHz channels has respectively supported 4K and 8K video qualities at distances around 1.7 km and 1.2 km under all studied weather conditions. Transmission of broadband signals over 2 GHz channels at 100 GHz, with an average EIRP of 55 dBm and a receiver antenna gain of 25 dBi, has supported SNR greater than 24.7 dB and a channel capacity greater than 16.4 Gbps at a communications distance of 0.5 km under all studied weather conditions. This paper also compares the performance of three carrier frequencies (105 GHz, 60 GHz and 28 GHz) under a clear sky condition. Transmission at 105 GHz has supported communication distances and channel capacities better than those at 60 GHz due to a higher atmospheric attenuation loss at the latter frequency. The large spectral bandwidth available around 105 GHz can also support a higher channel capacity compared to that at 28 GHz. This makes the 95-110 GHz band attractive for use by high-capacity Fixed Service P-P and Point-to-Multi-Point (P-MP) links of 5G and 6G systems.","PeriodicalId":354985,"journal":{"name":"2021 4th International Conference on Advanced Communication Technologies and Networking (CommNet)","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116755193","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Precisely, a source (S) transmits the information signal to a relay (R) via an RF link. This latter decodes and regenerates the received signal, and hands it to the underwater destination node (D) through an UOWC channel. The RF and UOWC links are subject to Nakagami-m and mixture Exponential-Generalized Gamma fading, respectively. By considering residual hardware impairments (RHI) at the three nodes, a closed-form expression for the system’s OP is derived in terms of the system and channel parameters. Also, the achievable diversity order is evaluated at high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) regime. The obtained results show that, at high SNR, the underwater turbulence yields an OP loss of approximately 4dB by comparing UOWC links with 2.4 and 7.1 L/min of air bubbles levels, while the RHI exhibit a maximum loss of 4dB for an RHI coefficient of 0.3 compared to the ideal hardware case. Additionally, the end-to-end SNR exhibits a ceiling value, depending exclusively on the RHI level. Finally, the diversity order of the system is shown to be equal to unity.","PeriodicalId":354985,"journal":{"name":"2021 4th International Conference on Advanced Communication Technologies and Networking (CommNet)","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125874649","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we investigate a new joint transmission-sensing framework for a CR system where there is multiple PU appearances and disappearances. Unlike the existing works that sense the spectrum independently frame by frame, we suggest to perform the spectrum sensing sequentially along several frames, using a changepoint detection method. To compute the optimal sensing and transmission times, we introduce a new metric, called the global cost, that gives a trade-off between interference and spectrum waste. The optimal parameters values are studied in detail, with respect to the signal to noise ratio (SNR) and the primary users statistics.","PeriodicalId":354985,"journal":{"name":"2021 4th International Conference on Advanced Communication Technologies and Networking (CommNet)","volume":"88 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123102458","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
