Ensuring high quality of VoIP transmission in spectrally congested scenarios requires deployment of VoIP applications in intelligent Cognitive Radio Networks (CRN) that aim to increase spectrum utilization through its opportunistic mode of communication. However, complexities inherent in unmodified CRN make it unworthy of hosting VoIP applications. The objective of this work is to successfully implement VoIP service in CRN by optimal selection of transmission time so that adequate QoS is ensured for VoIP users. Considering imperfect spectrum sensing, an algorithm is proposed to select the most efficient transmission duration for VoIP communication by taking into account relevant parameters in CRN. Mathematical analysis followed by simulation results provides clear testimony to the fact that VoIP call quality is enhanced after implementing the proposed algorithm.","PeriodicalId":399616,"journal":{"name":"2012 5th International Conference on Computers and Devices for Communication (CODEC)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121082765","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}

Power gating is a technique which is used to reduce standby leakage by shutting down the power supply of the inactive block of the circuit. There is also scope of using power gating in active block to reduce run time leakage. Within clock period there is certain portion which is idle and in this period power gating may be used. In this paper we present this within-clock power gating for minimizing leakage and total power of the sequential circuits during active mode of operation. The technique is used to implement the architecture of ISCAS89 benchmark circuit. Power results have been reported for different frequency.

To detect the primary user (PU) more accurately in fading channels, CR users need to cooperate by sharing their information. In this paper we investigate performance of cooperative spectrum sensing (CSS), using energy detection at each CR user, to improve the sensing performance in Hoyt/Nakagami-q fading channel. Hard decision combining fusion rule (k-out of-N) is performed at fusion center (FC) to make the final decision about PU. Comparison among fusion rules has been illustrated for a wide range of average signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) values. The performance of CSS is compared with single CR user based spectrum sensing under various network parameters such as number of CR users (N) and average SNRs. The performance of single CR user based spectrum sensing improves with increase in Hoyt fading parameter (q).","PeriodicalId":399616,"journal":{"name":"2012 5th International Conference on Computers and Devices for Communication (CODEC)","volume":"52 23","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131604513","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 resonant structure is constructed that creates a near-field with three-dimensional extent in the same order of magnitude as the physical size of the objects to be detected and identified. As an object is brought within the extent of the near-field, a redistribution of electric and magnetic fields take place, modifying the reflection coefficient (i.e. impedance) of the resonant structure monitored through a port. The object under test, with its own natural frequencies, perturbs the resonant frequency of the monitoring structure to create a unique set of natural frequencies (poles and zeros). These poles and zeros, depending on the size, shape, material composition and orientation, constitute the RF signature of the object and can be determined from the measurement of reflection coefficient. This technique can be used to create smart shelves for automated inventory without the need for tagging, as well for a variety of security applications. The technique can be used for metallic and non-metallic objects, as well as for a combination thereof. The basic principle is illustrated by way of electromagnetic simulation, and implementation of a smart tray using the principle is presented.","PeriodicalId":399616,"journal":{"name":"2012 5th International Conference on Computers and Devices for Communication (CODEC)","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133775459","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}

We speculate here on key research themes that will drive wireless communication research over the next two decades, and provide examples of ongoing research motivated by these themes. Smart phones and tablets enable significant advances in the quality and quantity of content available to the mobile user, while even basic voice and text messaging has transformed lives in remote corners of the world by providing access to critical information. Wireless researchers now face the challenge of building on this promise. At one end, how can we scale cellular network capacity by several orders of magnitude in order to address the exponential growth in demand for wireless data created by smart mobile devices? At the other extreme, how do we close the digital divide, ensuring that even the most remote regions of our planet gain access to the wealth of information available online? Thus, the goal of wireless communications research over the next two decades can be simply stated as faster and farther, with orders of magnitude gains in both categories.
