This research investigates the suggested protocol in a novel simulation environment by dividing the network area into equal hexagonal cells and using the arithmetic optimization algorithm, a new meta-heuristic technique, to assist the cluster head assortment. The double mobile sinks are then deployed to travel along two constrained hexagonal itineraries in order to gather sensory data. Additionally, a cost-effective routing approach is suggested to prolong the lifespan of IoT sensor nodes. In the end, a comparison between the suggested protocol and the conventional techniques reveals a significant decrease in the average energy consumption of sensor nodes, hence extending the lifetime of the network. Particularly, as far as the mobility is concerned, the suggested protocol performs 372 times better than the energy-efficient geographic routing protocol and 669 times better than the rendezvous-based routing protocol in terms of the first node to die.","PeriodicalId":505542,"journal":{"name":"2023 6th International Conference on Advanced Communication Technologies and Networking (CommNet)","volume":"25 2","pages":"1-7"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139183209","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 primary goal is to enhance and automate cluster detection within peaks from noised CIR data. The study initially compares the performance of LSTM NN and FCNN across different input sequence lengths. Notably, LSTM surpasses FCNN due to its incorporation of memory cells, which prove beneficial for handling longer series.Additionally, the paper investigates the robustness of LSTM NN through various architectural configurations. The findings suggest that robust neural networks tend to closely mimic the input function, whereas smaller neural networks are better at generalizing trends in time series data, which is desirable for anomaly detection, where function peaks are regarded as anomalies.Finally, the selected LSTM NN is compared with traditional signal filters, including Butterworth, Savitzky-Golay, Bessel/Thomson, and median filters. Visual observations indicate that the most effective methods for peak detection within channel impulse response data are either the LSTM NN or median filter, as they yield similar results.","PeriodicalId":505542,"journal":{"name":"2023 6th International Conference on Advanced Communication Technologies and Networking (CommNet)","volume":"42 3","pages":"1-7"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139183514","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}

This technique leans on the principles of multiple linear analysis and takes into account soil parameter values. Moreover, our study’s outcomes illustrate that among the four pivotal variables, volumetric moisture wields a pronounced impact on the main lobe magnitude, boasting a noteworthy correlation coefficient of -0.702.

Its integration into the healthcare ecosystem has helped overcome numerous difficulties and constraints faced by healthcare systems. This has been notably demonstrated in the meticulous management of electronic health records (EHR) and their access rights, as well as in its capabilities in terms of security, scalability, flexibility, and interoperability with other systems. This article undertakes the study and analysis of the most commonly adopted approaches in healthcare data management systems using blockchain technology. An evaluation is then conducted based on a set of observed common characteristics, distinguishing one approach from the others. The results of this analysis highlight the advantages and limitations of each approach, thus facilitating the choice of the method best suited to the readers’ specific case study. Furthermore, for effective implementation in the context of ehealth, we emphasize the existence of crucial challenges, such as the incomplete representation of major stakeholders in the blockchain network, the lack of regulatory flexibility to ensure legal interoperability by country, and the insufficient integration of an official regulatory authority ensuring compliance with ethical and legal standards. To address these challenges, it is necessary to establish close collaboration between regulators, technology developers, and healthcare stakeholders.","PeriodicalId":505542,"journal":{"name":"2023 6th International Conference on Advanced Communication Technologies and Networking (CommNet)","volume":"73 2","pages":"1-8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139183896","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}

Since these volumetric huge media need extensive bandwidth allocation, it would be problematic to stream to devices with restrained resources. In this paper, we propose the techniques of point cloud compression and streaming for large point clouds using a web server. To achieve reliability of streaming HTTP/2, protocol is suggested. Such techniques are built over web server. Storing large point cloud volumetric video in a web server allows users to present their data sets to the public without having to use additional applications or to send large volume data beforehand. HTTP/2 increases transmission efficiency by compressing headers in a binary format, and lowers latency by using one TCP session for sending many multiplexed requests. Our proposed system achieves lower average latency between successive frames resulting of an increased frame rate to 72.46 fps when streaming 4M points, 82.51 and 61 fps streaming 800K points compared to much lower rates in conventional work.","PeriodicalId":505542,"journal":{"name":"2023 6th International Conference on Advanced Communication Technologies and Networking (CommNet)","volume":"16 11","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139184329","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}

Notable strides have been made in real-time object detection methods, particularly due to the rapid progress of deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) compared to traditional approaches. It has been observed that existing real-time deep CNN-based object detectors face performance limitations, primarily stemming from the architecture of the underlying base network. This study introduces an improved framework for real-time object detection based on the Mask R-CNN model. To address the challenge of enhancing performance under stricter localization criteria, we replace the original Mask R-CNN’s Region of Interest Align (RoIAlign) with spatial interpolation. Additionally, in the final phase of the Mask R-CNN framework, we utilize the depthwise separable convolution architecture from EfficientNet-B7 to construct a classifier for proposal categorization and to adjust bounding boxes for detected objects. Experimental findings on both the COCO dataset and the ImageNet dataset demonstrate that our proposed approach surpasses the original Mask R-CNN in terms of detection accuracy and inference speed. Categorically, our method outperforms the original Mask R-CNN framework by 51.5% on the COCO test set and 46.2% on the ImageNet test set.","PeriodicalId":505542,"journal":{"name":"2023 6th International Conference on Advanced Communication Technologies and Networking (CommNet)","volume":"21 6","pages":"1-8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139183994","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}
