One of the important features that these networks need to have is reliability so that if a fault occurs in the system it can provide expected services and its main function won't be impressed. To establish and maintain reliability, wireless sensor networks must be fault tolerant and be protected against fault occurrence using the right techniques and be prevented from turning into errors and creating failures. In order to make a wireless sensor network fault tolerant it is important to be aware of faults that may happen in system and selecting the best detection, recovery or management techniques. In this article, we will explore a variety of problems that are threaten the reliability of wireless sensor networks and techniques to detect and recover them. Also, fault management techniques and fault tolerant management frameworks in WSNs will be explained and compared and comprehensive study of fault recovery methods will be provided.","PeriodicalId":45234,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Future Generation Communication and Networking","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45267455","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}

IoT application commonly has small data and infrequent transmission. However, the challenge in presenting wireless access technology for IoT lies in its characteristic of massive node deployment and powerconstrained transmission. Among several technologies, LoRaWAN promises the ability to handle massive number of nodes, longer transmission range, lower power consumption, as well as cheaper communication module. This paper presents a performance evaluation of LoRa network in respect to those claims. The performance of the network in term of packet delivery ratio, average energy consumption per transmission and average energy wasted in collision per nodes are investigated. A realistic scenario is considered, and the scalability study is also conducted via computer simulation. The result shows that the performance of LoRa network is highly dependent to the configuration of spreading factor, coding rate, and frequency selection. The performed experiment shows that the limitation inherited from pure ALOHA access strategy can be alleviated by randomizing frequency selection and node-specific optimization to maximize data rate relative to its location (i.e. channel condition) and contention severity.","PeriodicalId":45234,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Future Generation Communication and Networking","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47664407","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 satcom can be deployed during catastrophic instances, crisis incidences and certainly for the use of military operations. The satcom can facilitate the delivery of critical high-speed data, voice and video services between military bases, headquarters and also military detachments. The paper highlights the predicted fade margin requirements by the Malaysian Military satellite communication in order to accomplish specific operational quality of services (QoS). This is of utmost importance considering that both the uplink and the downlink will be facing severe rain attenuation due to copious heavy rainfall events, typically endured by tropical region countries. A prediction technique, recommendation ITU-R P. 618-12 with value proposed by ITU-R P. 637-6 had been employed in order to generate the desired results. Local data acquired from the Department of Irrigation and Drainage Malaysia had also been utilized in the generation of the fade margin estimations.

The emerging 5G-IoT scenarios are required to potentially support and encourage the massive number of devices of low cost, low latency, long battery life with high reliability. IoT is envisioned to have billions of simultaneous connections over next few years that will completely change the characteristics of mobile network. M2M communication is prime enabling technology of the IoT which is much related to the 5G’s Machine type Communication (MTC). Therefore, 5G’s machine type Communication between massive numbers of devices with mission critical services is become very popular now days and named as 5G-IoT scenario. Channel Coding for the 5G-IoT scenarios is facing novel challenges as to support its various requirements on latency, reliability, scalability and energy consumption. Hence, an FEC code needs to endorse diverse requirements of code lengths and rates, as well as high throughput with low decoding complexity. This paper compares various candidate channel coding methods for 5G-IoT scenario. Polar code is believed as dominant advancement in channel coding theory and guarantees for apical performance. And hence, polar code is considered as promising candidate for the 5G-IoT scenario. This paper put an emphasis on the suitability of polar codes for 5G-IoT scenario.","PeriodicalId":45234,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Future Generation Communication and Networking","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81264496","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}

Research paper describes the device fingerprint extraction, registration and authentication algorithm. As the traffic on the internet is growing at a rapid rate, there is also the need of a technique to reduce the traffic on the internet. Comparison analysis of the proposed algorithm and comparison with the traditional client server based mechanism is done in terms of network traffic. The proposed algorithm reduces the traffic around the authenticator to a great extent as compared to the client server based mechanism.

When the current measurement is lost, the two popular compensation mechanisms (the hold-input and zero-input mechanism) are used for compensation, respectively. The hold-input strategy means that the latest measurements received is applied directly whereas the zero-input one adopts zero value. Based on the two popular compensators, the optimal linear filters in the linear minimum variance sense are given by innovation analysis approach, and their performances are compared in terms of two simulation examples. The conclusion is that neither of the two compensation mechanisms can be claimed to be superior to the other.","PeriodicalId":45234,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Future Generation Communication and Networking","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66979646","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}
