The dual-band fractal microstrip patch antenna (DBFMPA) is operating at 4.9 and 5.3 GHz and the triple-band fractal microstrip patch antenna (TBFMPA) is operating at 2.4, 5.3, and 5.9 GHz. The defected ground structure (DGS) and a reflector plane is utilized for enhancing the gain of the antenna. Design and optimization of the DBFMPA and TBFMPA are done using the Computer Simulation Technology (CST) Microwave Studio Suite.

Farmhouse heating system that heats mobile living quarters remote from power lines and communities through the use of carbon-based fuel flexible materials and solar stations is proposed by the authors. The technical result consists in that, in the claimed system, the heating device is a carbon-based fuel flexible material supplying electricity from the solar station. Carbon-based fuel flexible material is a thermal film (heating grid), which is made by interweaving longitudinal and transverse carbon filaments and, for safety reasons, covered with an electrical insulating material.","PeriodicalId":45623,"journal":{"name":"International Journal on Smart Sensing and Intelligent Systems","volume":" ","pages":"1 - 11"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47107775","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}

V. van Zyl","doi":"10.21307/IJSSIS-2021-002","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.21307/IJSSIS-2021-002","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract LoRa technology is derived from chirp spread spectrum (CSS) having embedded forward error correction (FEC). A wide band is used for transmissions to counter interference and to handle frequency offsets. The paper investigates low power wide area networks (LPWAN) transmissions in the uplink, where the end nodes are powered by using energy harvested from the surroundings. Long-range (LoRa) networks demonstrate their capability to support Internet of Things (IoT) applications, where the end nodes utilize the harvested energy for transmission to gateways using different spreading factor (SF) codes. The work fairly improves the throughput of the LoRa nodes while keeping the other parameters, like time duration of the energy harvesting (EH), SF, and transmit power, optimally. Initially, a mathematical expression is derived for collisions between packets of the end nodes; keeping this as an important factor, an algorithm is proposed that fairly assigns SFs to the nodes. Simulation results confirm the improvement in packet error rate and time on air when fewer LoRa nodes are used for lower SFs, as compared to higher SFs. The number of LoRa nodes that can communicate using SF = 7 is almost four times as compared to using SF = 11, while maintaining a low packet error rate. Also, for SF = 7, changing the coding rate from 1 to 4 increases time on air by around 20 ms, while time on air increases by 1,200 ms for SF = 12. The energy efficiency is also compared for different SFs and different transmission powers. A lower SF and lower transmission powers are more suitable for smaller distance and provides better energy efficiency.","PeriodicalId":45623,"journal":{"name":"International Journal on Smart Sensing and Intelligent Systems","volume":"14 1","pages":"1 - 15"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68001945","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}

{"title":"Performance evaluation of vertical handover in Internet of Vehicles","authors":"S. M. Hussain, K. M. Yusof, Shaik Ashfaq Hussain, Rolito Asuncion","doi":"10.21307/ijssis-2021-012","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.21307/ijssis-2021-012","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract Internet of Vehicles (IoV) is developed by integrating the intelligent transportation system (ITS) and the Internet of Things (IoT). The goal of IoV is to allow vehicles to communicate with other vehicles, humans, pedestrians, roadside units, and other infrastructures. Two potential technologies of V2X communication are dedicated short-range communication (DSRC) and cellular network technologies. Each of these has its benefits and limitations. DSRC has low latency but it limits coverage area and lacks spectrum availability. Whereas 4G LTE offers high bandwidth, wider cell coverage range, but the drawback is its high transmission time intervals. 5G offers enormous benefits to the present wireless communication technology by providing higher data rates and very low latencies for transmissions but is prone to blockages because of its inability to penetrate through the objects. Hence, considering the above issues, single technology will not fully accommodate the V2X requirements which subsequently jeopardize the effectiveness of safety applications. Therefore, for efficient V2X communication, it is required to interwork with DSRC and cellular network technologies. One open research challenge that has gained the attention of the research community over the past few years is the appropriate selection of networks for handover in a heterogeneous IoV environment. Existing solutions have addressed the issues related to handover and network selection but they have failed to address the need for handover while selecting the network. Previous studies have only mentioned that the network is being selected directly for handover or it was connected to the available radio access. Due to this, the occurrence of handover had to take place frequently. Hence, in this research, the integration of DSRC, LTE, and mmWave 5G is incorporated with handover decision, network selection, and routing algorithms. The handover decision is to ensure whether there is a need for vertical handover by using a dynamic Q-learning algorithm. Then, the network selection is based on a fuzzy-convolution neural network that creates fuzzy rules from signal strength, distance, vehicle density, data type, and line of sight. V2V chain routing is proposed to select V2V pairs using a jellyfish optimization algorithm that takes into account the channel, vehicle characteristics, and transmission metrics. This system is developed in an OMNeT++ simulator and the performances are evaluated in terms of mean handover, handover failure, mean throughput, delay, and packet loss.","PeriodicalId":45623,"journal":{"name":"International Journal on Smart Sensing and Intelligent Systems","volume":"14 1","pages":"1 - 16"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68002045","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 EAC-ECHS, the sensor network is divided into an inter grid and fair clustered Grids. Furthermore, for each clustered Grid, the CH selection is based on the residual energy of sensor, distance to neighbors, and distance to the base station. Simulation experiments have been conducted to examine the performance of EAC-ECHS and previous approaches, and the results demonstrate that EAC-ECHS approach achieves the design objectives in terms energy consumption, network lifetime, and packet delivery ratio.","PeriodicalId":45623,"journal":{"name":"International Journal on Smart Sensing and Intelligent Systems","volume":"14 1","pages":"1 - 15"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45266202","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}
