It aims at leveraging the learning process and learners' experience through the use of ubiquitous sensor based infrastructure, increased collection of large and diverse set of data, and subsequently applying machine learning and data analytics could really make it useful. Big data principles can be also very helpful to solve the mysteries related to the collection, storage management and analysis of large and heterogeneous set of data. Systematic Literature Review (SLR) is a more structured literature review process. It also provides more thorough coverage of the literature thereby minimizing the research bias.

The frequency response plots cannot be used directly in z-plane to construct a controller. However, this paper describes the difficulties and issues in constructing a discrete-time controller through a w- plane by the use of Bode diagrams/frequency response plots. For this purpose, one of the extensively used switching converters, i.e., a DC-DC buck converter operating at a switching frequency of 1000 kHz is considered as a plant. The problem arises due to the introduction of a right-half-plane zero (RHPZ) when one intends to transform a plant in s-plane to z-plane and then from z-plane to w-plane for the sake of designing a discrete-time controller in w-plane. RHPZ behaves as a pole and additionally lags the phase, thus making the plant nonminimum phase characteristically. RHPZ limits the system bandwidth and causes sluggish response. The control of plants containing RHPZ becomes complicated. MATLAB/Simulink based simulation results are presented to highlight the issues associated with construction of the digital controller in w-plane.","PeriodicalId":390044,"journal":{"name":"2017 International Symposium on Wireless Systems and Networks (ISWSN)","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134436295","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 data capture in all the tests is done using network analyzer tool, Wireshark and file transfer application called as FileZilla Server and Client. These tests are conducted multiple times to reduce the error rate which could have been a random number of 2% caused due to human and technical error. The results on the tests conducted are little surprising and complex than expected Cisco has a better data rate in all the tests performed with higher variations whereas 3Com had lower variations in all the tests it had a lower data rate than Cisco, again Cisco standard deviation is higher during bandwidth utilization.

It is expected to encompass small cells, known as macro, pico or femto cells. For such dense deployment, network operators have preferably deduced the mechanism of cloud networks called C-RAN due to their highly optimized operational efficiency and cost effectiveness. A centralized operating system which can easily be integrated with existing 4G/LTE networks is main aim of mobile phone operators. This approach reduces remarkably front haul overheads in C-RANs [2]. To expand the architecture of C-RAN, large number of antennas at access end majorly contributes to increase the network capacity either by improving the spectrum bandwidth or by increasing the number of active users at a specific time. Future 5G wireless and mobile communication operating systems require high transmission data rates and large channel bandwidth. Therefore, they can adopt millimeter-wave (MMW) band (30–300 GHz) as main operating frequencies to fulfill the requirements. In this paper, we focused on 60 GHz MMW frequency band. The potential benefits are, it is license free, large bandwidth ∼2 GHz, high oxygen attenuation that supports high frequency reuse and large number of components integration on small area (Massive MIMO). Moreover, we designed, simulated and optimized novel antennas suitable for implementing in the wireless devices of CRAN networks. In addition to compact, low cost, light weight, and ease of integration, the proposed antennas exhibit wide bandwidth above 4 GHz with an average gain values more than 12.5 dBi.","PeriodicalId":390044,"journal":{"name":"2017 International Symposium on Wireless Systems and Networks (ISWSN)","volume":"115 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123311668","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 system with a bandwidth of 40 Gbps was studied at four different channels with the spacing of 5 nm and capacity of each channel is 10 Gbps. After thorough analysis for obtaining a better quality factor, the Rectangle optical filter is finalized. By obtaining good quality factor, we achieved a 40 Gbps WDM system with a link length of 150 km. currently intermediate line amplifiers are being placed approximately every 80–100 km to compensate the link losses.","PeriodicalId":390044,"journal":{"name":"2017 International Symposium on Wireless Systems and Networks (ISWSN)","volume":"74 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132841116","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}

To facilitate higher bandwidth, future systems are transitioning to higher frequencies (> 2 GHz). However, there is a high penetration loss due to walls etc., when outdoor base stations communicate with indoor devices. To overcome this issue, the use of indoor femtocell base stations has emerged as a popular solution. This work aims to analyze the impact of offloading outdoor users to small cells. The outdoor users are initially served by macro network i.e. network consisting of outdoor base stations only (macrocell base station or eNodeB) and are then progressively handed over to femtocell base stations and small Densification is done by installing femtocell base stations within the coverage of eNodeB, this densification is one of the key enabling technology for future 5G cellular networks. We analyze the network performance in terms of the overall capacity gain, peak user equipment (UE) throughput, macro cell edge throughput and overall coverage enhancement. The offloading results in significant improvement in all of these aspects at the cost of additional network deployment cost.","PeriodicalId":390044,"journal":{"name":"2017 International Symposium on Wireless Systems and Networks (ISWSN)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129430580","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}
