The mobility of User Equipment (UE) and its effect on the overall system capacity has been studied as well. The duration of each frame transmitted between the Base Station (BS) and any UE depends largely on the mobility state of the UE. Static UE can receive frames with any size and duration (to achieve the optimal sum rate performance), but mobile UE is limited to a specific frame duration before that UE gets out of the narrow beam coverage area. Beam angles used by the RBF is another application specific factor in the network design and its optimization for specific conditions is required to ensure providing the best achievable throughput to each user in the network. This work is suggesting a framework to optimize the frame duration and the beam angle for each mobility model with different outage probability thresholds (when the UE is moving out of the beam coverage area during transmission or reception). Convex optimization is used as the outage probability has been proven to monotonically increase with both the frame duration and the beam angle.","PeriodicalId":375095,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the International Conference on Information and Communication Technology - ICICT '19","volume":"190 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114349792","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}

A stable improved LEACH (SILEACH) algorithm, one of the LEACH variants, was proposed to overcome the problems of LEACH algorithm. Enhanced LEACH (ELEACH) and improved LEACH are other variants of LEACH algorithm which have the ability to increase the network lifetime. ELEACH utilizes distance to increase the lifetime, whereas improved LEACH increases the network lifetime using the residual energy and distance to the base station (BS). However, cluster heads selection in improved LEACH and ELEACH reduces the stability period. Generally, in many applications, network stability is considered crucial because the feedback reliability is required by the network. Recently, the SILEACH has been evaluated by assuming the BS outside the network area. In this paper, a re-evolution of the SILEACH algorithm in different environments is performed to show its effectiveness in overcoming the limitation of the ELEACH and improved LEACH algorithms. This is performed by assuming the BS inside the network area. The simulation results showed that the SILEACH significantly outperforms the two protocols in terms of the stability period and network lifetime.","PeriodicalId":375095,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the International Conference on Information and Communication Technology - ICICT '19","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116352781","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}

As a precautionary step, the governmental authorities have installed cameras and computers at checkpoints to facilitate monitoring of vehicles. However, such solutions are inefficient because they run manually and suffer from a lack of automation. One of the main segments of intelligent transport systems is vehicle license plate recognition, which enables the identification of each vehicle by recognizing the characters on its license plate through various image processing and computer vision techniques. In this research, a system for automatic vehicles identification and tracking is proposed. The proposed system consists of a number of distributed plate recognition subsystems that supported with cameras. These subsystems are connected to a central database to store and manage vehicles information for further processing. The proposed system is tracking all vehicles that pass through checkpoints and map them on an interactive map. The system is designed and tested in a real environment and at different times of the day. Experiments show that the system can capture the vehicle's image and recognize the license plate effectively within 2 to 4 seconds.","PeriodicalId":375095,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the International Conference on Information and Communication Technology - ICICT '19","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116993993","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}

The proposed design is simulated numerically to obtain the optimum dimensions that provide longer propagation length with low loss. The asymmetric trench waveguide design shows superior performance compared to the symmetric waveguide due to the increase in the mode confinement through the groove. A 100 μm propagation length is achieved at λ = 1.6 μm by increasing the asymmetry of the trenches. TiN based waveguide provides a good alternative to the already existing CPPs waveguide designed based on gold and silver materials in terms of cost and the chemical stability.

We have investigated the theory and carried out detailed analysis pertaining to encoding/decoding of chaotic modulation schemes, the use of suitable LDPC coded MIMO schemes for providing secure and reliable communication. The aim of the hybrid scheme is that a correctly designed coded Space Time Block Code (STBC) is used to mitigate the declination of the signal caused by multipath scattering. The Bit-Error Rate (BER) performance of this hybrid scheme with two transmit antennas and two receive antennas under Rayleigh fading model is evaluated. The results indicate that that implementing LDPC (regular and irregular) coded STBC system decrease BER as compared with systems without implementing LDPC code for chaotic communication systems.

These rules are applied to driving scenarios by real drivers who are known to Highway driving manuals. However, autonomous driving vehicles must read the roads in the same way that real drivers do. In this paper, the problem of automatically reading the road markings is addressed. A new approach for lane classification using the onboard camera is presented. As an initial step, the road boundaries are detected using the Hough transform model. The region of interest (ROI) is divided into two sub-regions. Hough Transform is applied to each of the sub-regions independently. The computational time required for lane detection is improved in this way. After that, adaptive smoothing and some processing steps are added to reduce the noise while still making the close edge's apart. Then, Seed fill algorithm is applied to the lanes location to identify the lane markings types. This method is able to recognize five types of lane markings such as: dashed, solid, double solid, dashed-solid and solid-dashed. The method is applied to a large set of video sequences with various situations and showed that the accuracy is over 95%.","PeriodicalId":375095,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the International Conference on Information and Communication Technology - ICICT '19","volume":"87 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133980650","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}
