These networks are responsible for monitoring and tracking the occupancy of each parking space in real-time. The WSNs consist of sensor nodes that detect, process, and transmit data to the base station at regular intervals. However, power and communication limitations in these nodes can impact the performance and quality of the network. Early energy depletion, for instance, can shorten the network’s lifespan and necessitate the replacement of sensor nodes. To address these challenges, this paper proposes a WSN routing protocol that employs clustering to build clusters and facilitate multi-hop communication to the base station. This approach offers a robust and efficient algorithm that reduces power dissipation and extends the lifespan of both sensor nodes and the WSN network. Simulation results indicate that this proposed protocol is more energy-efficient, reliable in data transmission, and longer-lasting compared to other protocols commonly used in smart parking management.","PeriodicalId":505542,"journal":{"name":"2023 6th International Conference on Advanced Communication Technologies and Networking (CommNet)","volume":"492 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":"139183590","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}

It is envisaged that many existing and future event driven vehicular services will exhibit significant variance in packet sizes, both between applications and within the same application. To ensure a sufficient quality of service, NR-V2X and its predecessor Cellular V2X (C-V2X) must be able to effectively schedule these diverse packet sizes. As such, this paper analyses the impact of fixed vs adaptive MCS selection and shows that assuming an adaptive approach is preferable in all cases, especially when dealing with varying packet sizes. A fixed MCS is commonly assumed in literature and this paper shows that such an assumption can have a large negative performance impact on the MAC layer scheduler. We further evaluate that considering an MCS range exceeding that specified in the current standard is extremely beneficial and evaluate the performance of alternative MCS selection schemes that minimise disruption in the MAC layer grant mechanism. We find that the default standardised MCS selection mechanism still remains preferable.","PeriodicalId":505542,"journal":{"name":"2023 6th International Conference on Advanced Communication Technologies and Networking (CommNet)","volume":"45 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":"139183519","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}

Installing a fixed Base Station (BS) with sufficient capacity is inefficient solution that wastes the spectrum resources due to the temporary nature of these areas. Instead, Low-Altitude Platform (LAP) is reported as an efficient alternative, where an aerial entity can carry a BS to serve the desired area during the required time period. However, the optimal location and altitude of the LAP has a significant impact on the attainable performance. In this work, the optimization of both the location and the altitude of LAP that carries a BS of $4times 4$ antenna operating over 28GHz is addressed. The area under investigation is Souq Waqif in Doha (Qatar) which is identified as a seasonal crowded area.

They are also considered as an integral part of the sixth generation (6G) and beyond networks. However, with increasing UAVs, there comes a requirement to regulate their movement in the airspace. Such regulations can provide better management and mitigate safety and security concerns. As such, direct remote identification (DRI) is one approach which allows authorities to identify any drone in the airspace and provides information about drones in flight, such as the drone’s identity, location, altitude and its control station or take-off location. Although, there has been numerous research performed on DRI and respective topics, but none of them proposed usage of commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) wireless radio modules along with DRI. To overcome this problem, we evaluate DRI using various COTS under the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth use cases and later presented a comparative analysis of long-range frequency and power consumption for such COTS modules. At last, we also shed some light on the security aspects.","PeriodicalId":505542,"journal":{"name":"2023 6th International Conference on Advanced Communication Technologies and Networking (CommNet)","volume":"202 4","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":"139184069","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 Terahertz frequency band, which spans 0.1 THz to 10THz, is one of the most promising and practical resources to be used in wireless networks technologies beyond 5G. This research presents a proposed Ultra-Wideband 2x2 MIMO antenna model intended for THz applications. The growing influence of mutual coupling between the antenna elements, which has a significant impact on the antenna’s overall performance, is one of the difficulties in designing antennas in THz frequency ranges. In order to lessen the impact of mutual coupling on the MIMO antenna array’s performance, many strategies are used, including loading slots, high isolation, orthogonal alignment, and parasitic structures. This paper’s proposed model is a rectangular radiator measuring 133×255μm2 with a circular cut in the middle. It will be demonstrated that this design offers a sizable bandwidth of about 4.5 GHz (from 5.5 GHz to 10 GHz), making it suitable for usage in high-bit-rate, fast wireless networks. Additionally, the suggested antenna’s performance is examined in terms of a number of variables, including Total Active Reflection Coefficient (TARC) and Channel Capacity Loss (CCL), and it is then contrasted with other designs that are currently in use. It is discovered that the suggested model performs noticeably better than the current designs in a number of areas.","PeriodicalId":505542,"journal":{"name":"2023 6th International Conference on Advanced Communication Technologies and Networking (CommNet)","volume":"155 4","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139183472","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}

So, it is about determining a measure that allows this representation. In mathematical analysis, the problem of moments (MP) occupies an important place in the work of many researchers. Several generalizations and extensions of the original version, attributed to T. J. Stieltjes, have emerged. It has been a source of inspiration for many developments in many branches of mathematics as well as in other fields. In this article, we are interested in a class of two-dimensional MP. Precisely, we deal with the problem of the cubic real truncated moment in the case where the associated moment matrix is singular. The main target is to provide a complete solution via a minimal atomic-representative measure. This was possible by the use of an algorithmic method based on the construction of some flat extension of the associated moment matrix. The implementation of this approach is illustrated by some numerical examples using Mathematica software.","PeriodicalId":505542,"journal":{"name":"2023 6th International Conference on Advanced Communication Technologies and Networking (CommNet)","volume":"4 5","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":"139183516","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}
