The circular array processor is competent to scan a beam azimuthally all the way through 360° field-of-view with little variation in whichever the beamwidth or the sidelobe intensity.

For wideband microphone arrays, preparation of a controlled beamforming quandary usually requires presteering the array using direction-finding hindrances. The hindrances generate execution troubles and basis beating of structure rending in the existence of array deficiency. This paper includes existing convolution constraints with robust diagonal loading technique, which is easy to execute and eradicate the call for presteering delays. The simulation outcome shows with the aim of the proposed processor has superior performance than the existing processor to guide the focal beam at any random direction exclusive with presteering hindrances.","PeriodicalId":410572,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Conference on Telecommunications and Photonics (ICTP)","volume":"152 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125563855","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 propose a modified Bat Algorithm for selecting best relay that is able to achieve considerable performance gain in CCN. The aim of the proposed approach is attaining a best link to send data, lesser packet delivery time, and higher throughput. For achieving lesser transmission time and better throughput we use Digital Network Coding (DNC) scheme along with Decode and Forward (DF) relaying protocol. The DF protocol with modified Bat algorithm improved CCN's routing efficiency.

The characterization of the CuO thin films deposited at different electrodeposition conditions were conducted by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). The SEM study showed the grain sizes of CuO thin films decreased at more negative potentials. Film thickness with regards to voltage and temperature are analysed. Absorption spectrum was obtained from UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy. Subsequently, the optical band gap was determined from their absorption spectrum by using Tauc's equation. It was found that CuO thin films deposited at low voltage have lower band gap than that of films deposited at higher voltage due to crystalline, uniform and compact grains. The band gap decreases with increasing operating temperature.","PeriodicalId":410572,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Conference on Telecommunications and Photonics (ICTP)","volume":"465 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128047151","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}

Unlike discrete wavelet transform-DT-CWT ensures limited redundancy and provides approximate shift invariance. To demonstrate the efficacy of DT-CWT for EEG signal analysis, it is applied in conjunction with spectral features to devise a feature extraction scheme for automated sleep staging from single-channel EEG. Our findings suggest that spectral features can distinguish between various sleep stages quite well. The p-values obtained by one-way analysis of variance (AN0VA) and graphical analyses also corroborate with this fact Thus, spectral features in the DT-CWT domain may be used to characterize EEG signal. Furthermore, this work can assist the sleep research community to implement various classification models to put computer-aided sleep scoring into clinical practice.","PeriodicalId":410572,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Conference on Telecommunications and Photonics (ICTP)","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124488197","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 higher propagation speed of radio frequency (RF) wave keeps the RF based underwater networks into focus for supporting such fast detection requirements. In light of this, this paper proposes two three dimensional (3D) cluster-based UWSN architectures and scrutinizes them for identifying and tracking submerged moving intruders. The UWSN senses the presence of an intruder within the surveillance area and instantaneously transfers the data to an onshore base station (BS) for tracking the intruder. All the communication links from the intruder sensing nodes to the BS are RF based. The BS is also equipped with the essential mathematical tools for identifying and tracking an intruder. Extensive simulations are carried out for evaluating the performance of the deployed architectures in a seawater environment. Accuracy in tracking by the topologies is thoroughly examined in terms of error in estimated travelled distance as well as travelled direction. Influence of various system parameters on the performance is also reasonably analyzed.","PeriodicalId":410572,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Conference on Telecommunications and Photonics (ICTP)","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123064378","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}

Robustness of beamformer is important for practical implementation because of different uncertainties created in beamformer such as uncertainty in direction-of-arrival (DOA), imperfect antenna array calibration, near-far field effect, mutual coupling and other mismatches and modelling errors. Among different uncertainties DOA estimation error causes the most erroneous result. Numerical simulation results show that the robust technique improves the rectangular array performance, therefore improves the signal-to-noise plus interference ratio (SINR) of the beamformer.
