Assuming nonlinear energy harvesting (EH) and time-switching protocol at relay, expressions are derived for outage probability and throughput in closed-form to show that augmenting the harvested energy by a small amount of battery energy significantly enhances the throughput. We demonstrate that unlike linear EH, nonlinear EH causes loss of diversity, making use of the direct link very important. Further, using the asymptotic expression for the outage probability, we establish concavity of throughput with respect to EH parameter and demonstrate that a judicious choice of the TS parameter is essential in order to maximize the throughput when fixed battery energy is available per signalling interval. Judicious choice of target rate is important to minimize battery energy consumption at the relay. Monte Carlo simulations confirm accuracy of the derived expressions.","PeriodicalId":414087,"journal":{"name":"2021 National Conference on Communications (NCC)","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115417917","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}

One of the technological challenges related to this is to provide Quality of Services (QoS)-enabled network connectivity to the applications. Diverse QoS demands from the applications intimidate the underlying wireless networks to be agile and adaptive. Since the applications are diverse in nature, there must be a mechanism to learn the application types in near real-time so that the network can be provisioned accordingly. In this paper, we propose a Machine Learning (ML) based method to classify the application traffic. Our method is different from the existing port based and Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) based methods and uses statistical features of the network traffic related to the applications. We validate the performance of the proposed model in a lab based SDNized WiFi set-up. SDNization ensures that the proposed model can be deployed in practice.","PeriodicalId":414087,"journal":{"name":"2021 National Conference on Communications (NCC)","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125604672","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 work, we consider the problem of phrase boundary detection on English utterances spoken by native American speakers. Most of the existing works on boundary detection use either knowledge-based features or representations learnt from a convolutional neural network (CNN) based architecture, considering word segments. However, we hypothesize that combining knowledge-based features and learned representations could improve the boundary detection task's performance. For this, we consider a fusion-based model considering deep neural network (DNN) and CNN, where CNNs are used for learning representations and DNN is used to combine knowledge-based features and learned representations. Further, unlike existing data-driven methods, we consider two CNNs for learning representation, one for word segments and another for word-final syllable segments. Experiments on Boston University radio news and Switchboard corpora show the benefit of the proposed fusion-based approach compared to a baseline using knowledge-based features only and another baseline using feature representations from CNN only.","PeriodicalId":414087,"journal":{"name":"2021 National Conference on Communications (NCC)","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123683731","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}

Recent literature has shown that deep learning-based image dehazing gives promising results both in terms of image quality and execution time. However, the difficulty of acquiring realworld hazy - clear paired images for training still remains a challenge. Widely available datasets use synthetically generated hazy images that suffer from flaws due to difficulty in acquiring accurate depth information to synthesize realistic-looking haze, causing a gap in the real and synthetic domain. In this paper, we propose the usage of domain randomization for image dehazing by generating a completely simulated training dataset for deep learning models. A standard UNET based dehazing model is trained on the simulated dataset without using any real-world data to obtain high quality dehazed images. The performance of the proposed approach is evaluated on the Sun-Dehaze dataset and RESIDE Standard (SOTS outdoor) dataset. We obtain favorable PSNR and SSIM scores on both sets and we also show how our approach yields better visual results compared to other learning-based approaches.","PeriodicalId":414087,"journal":{"name":"2021 National Conference on Communications (NCC)","volume":"111 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121912953","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}

For this system, we characterize a multi-hop D2D transmission protocol wherein we divide the transmission area into multiple regions based on the D2D transmission range. In contrast to the other works present in literature, we have taken into account the probability of a relay being used by another D2D source at the instant when the typical D2D source attempts to connect to it. Then, we derive the signal to interference and noise ratio (SINR) coverage probability for a typical device. Based on this, we define and characterize a performance metric called the availability-coverage product (ACP) to jointly take into account the coverage performance of the devices and the probability of them being used as relays by the other devices in outage. Our analysis highlights several system design insights in terms of the D2D communication range and the optimal number of active devices in the network in terms of the ACP.","PeriodicalId":414087,"journal":{"name":"2021 National Conference on Communications (NCC)","volume":"73 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131447530","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}
