However, current home automation systems have several drawbacks including high cost and not being of a DIY nature. These issues have held back home automation and it is important to solve them. In this paper, we describe a new architecture for a home automation system which is built on novel network protocols. Firstly we discuss related works about existing home automation systems and their merits and demerits. Next we introduce the proposed home automation architecture, embodying the new protocols. The new system allows a user or homeowner to purchase off the shelf devices and control them by a PC or mobile device in a very simple manner. The system does not require expert configuration or a central controller therefore the cost will be significantly reduced. An additional network device will be required for remote access but local users will not require anything apart from the controlled device and a PC or mobile device. The key enabling technology that makes this possible is an XML definition of the device capabilities, display requirements, and control signals.","PeriodicalId":396850,"journal":{"name":"2014 Australasian Telecommunication Networks and Applications Conference (ATNAC)","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130731385","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 avoid interference, unlicensed (secondary) user must leave the spectrum when it is accessed by the licensed (primary) user. Since it takes some time to sense the nearby free channels for the secondary user and switch to them, interruption in the ongoing data transmission is inevitable. Hence, the delay constraints of many applications cannot be met. So a cache generation approach is discussed in this paper, which reduces the time lag of delay by systematically generating cache of the signal at appropriate places. Since, every secondary users' cache must be placed in such a way that the time lag of delay is reduced to bare minimum, a game theoretic approach is used for smart distribution and allocation of cache nodes for unlicensed users.","PeriodicalId":396850,"journal":{"name":"2014 Australasian Telecommunication Networks and Applications Conference (ATNAC)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116835066","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}

There are advantages of introducing interdependency into critical infrastructures to enhance the functional and operational capability. On the other hand, there is a critical tradeoff which is the cascading failures that propagate from one network to another network. The occurrence of this phenomena will cause major catastrophe to our lives that is hugely dependent on such critical infrastructure. Thus, there is a need to understand how cascading failures are spreading in interdependent networks and the sensitive factors that have a severe impact on these phenomena. In this paper, we have developed a cascade model to describe and quantify the effects of cascading failures in interdependent networks using Sandpile dynamic models as load distribution. The extensive analysis and numerical results have shown that the increase of interdependency links can enlarge the global cascade probability from one network to another network. In addition, the failures that triggered from a dense network can cause more severe damage to another network than the failures triggered from a sparse network.","PeriodicalId":396850,"journal":{"name":"2014 Australasian Telecommunication Networks and Applications Conference (ATNAC)","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134421458","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}

However, traffic violation vehicles passing on the signal, hit-and-run, etc. are increasing with the increase of vehicles. To track a violation vehicle, recognition systems of the license plate using the image processing technology and cameras have been developed. However this system becomes expensive and complicated. To solve these problems, we have proposed a recognition method of the vehicle code using infrared laser radar. We set up a one-dimensional code created by reflectors on the vehicle, and acquire the vehicle information by reading the vehicle code by infrared laser radar. It can be constructed inexpensive system by using infrared laser radar. However, there is a problem that the number of code patterns is small, so the system cannot accommodate too many vehicles. In this paper, we propose a new code recognition method using time-sequence processing for infrared laser radar. We create a two-dimensional code by setting different type reflectors on vertical positions. Thereby we increase the number of code patterns. Through experiments, we demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.","PeriodicalId":396850,"journal":{"name":"2014 Australasian Telecommunication Networks and Applications Conference (ATNAC)","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126844448","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 femtocell provides increased indoor coverage, higher data rate, better voice quality and improved multimedia experiences. To meet all these features femtocell experiences co-tier and cross-tier interference. We work on co-tier interference mitigation. In this paper, we propose a scheme, which consists of two phases to mitigate interference. In both phases, center femtocell and tier-1 femtocell adjusts its gain and coverage area to achieve optimum Signal-to-Interference-plus-Noise Ratio (SINR) and data rate value. We use dynamic transmitter gain management technique to bring this significant achievement. The novelty of our paper is that we are able to improve SINR of every femtocells considering all are at a different distance from center femtocell. The effectiveness of our scheme has been demonstrated through numerical simulation. The performance evaluation is conducted in terms of required Signal-to-Interference-plus-Noise Ratio (SINR), data rate, and optimum coverage radius.","PeriodicalId":396850,"journal":{"name":"2014 Australasian Telecommunication Networks and Applications Conference (ATNAC)","volume":"160 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132370186","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}
