We have followed the image retrieval technique, as described in the Simplified Wavelet-Based Color Histogram (SWBCH). Each randomly selected query images of each category returns the similar images from database record, and the calculated precision values. This paper shows retrieval system’s average precision is (0.654). The effectiveness of simplified wavelet based color histogram method is calculated by taking different query images from the dataset.

Finger vein is non-invasive in nature and increases security. In addition, in order to overcome spoofing attack on system database of multibiometric system template, the existing system further focuses on securing the Biometric template by implementing Digital watermarking technique. Watermarking is carried out by using Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) and Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) techniques. The performance metrics such as PSNR, NCC and SSIM is simulated using MATLAB tool. The Existing technique is not robust against JPEG compression, median filtering and noise addition like Gaussian noise, salt & pepper noise etc., and also the Discrete Wavelet Transform has Lack of Shift Invariance problem. To overcome this problem, this project is implemented with Dual Tree Complex Wavelet Transform (DTCWT) in multilevel watermarking technique. The advantage of Dual Tree Complex Wavelet Transform improves denoising performance. The Authentication is implemented to prove the security.

The cognitive radio has to classify the signal of interest from many such signals in its vicinity. There has been wide spread acceptance of multicarrier signal like orthogonal frequency division multiplexed (OFDM) due to its better protection characteristics against channel degradations. Many recent and upcoming wireless standards thus employ OFDM signal, and a CR radio has to classify the OFDM signal operating in a heterogeneous operating environment. In this paper, we have used artificial neural network-based classification of OFDM signal of third-generation partnership project long term evolution (3GPP LTE) signals that is used on 4G wireless networks. We used reference signal-induced cyclostationarity and cyclic prefix property as feature for classification. The 3GPP LTE OFDM signal classification is done in a heterogeneous network environment, in which other OFDM signal from IEEE WiMAX network and other single-carrier digital modulation signal presence are considered. Comparison of classification performance for multilayer perceptron and radial basis function neural network is presented.

The resource provisioning scheme deals with complete partitioning of available radio channels based on prioritising the type of applications, such as real-time and non-real-time. The ARA scheme is validated through OPNET results obtained for the applications such as VoIP, FTP, HTTP and Email.
