The control information is transmitted to the user equipment (UE) present in the cell through Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH). This paper deals with the implementation of PDCCH Transmitter and Receiver by employing QPSK and 16QAM as modulation schemes. 16QAM modulation improves performance and reduces the power consumption when compared to QPSK. The result analysis displays improvement in frequency and reduction of power consumption.

Elasticity refers to the property of a circuit in which circuits can tolerate arbitrary latency/delay variations in their computation units as well as communication channels. Elasticity does not make any assumption about the specific implementation of the circuit. This paper investigates different optimization approaches to reduce these area and power overheads of elastic control network without sacrificing the control network performance. Ultra simple fork (USFork), early evaluation join (EEJoin), half-buffer retiming (HBR) controller, eager Fork, join, lazy fork combinations for implementation are introduced. In this approach we check all node and all combinational blocks clock period and uses elastic buffer only when it needed. Comparing to published work on a Minimips processor case study[3] and Synchronous elasticization at reduced cost[2], our implementation shows up 8% and 15.08% area and power due to proposed flow of implementing synchronous elasticization with 17.5 % increase in throughput i.e. 0.94 Gbits/sec.","PeriodicalId":6615,"journal":{"name":"2014 International Conference on Control, Instrumentation, Communication and Computational Technologies (ICCICCT)","volume":"7 1","pages":"917-922"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81736037","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}

A better handover mechanism plays an important role in the handover process between the vehicle nodes during the vehicles on the road. Vertical handover is very much essential to ensure service continuity in Vehicular Ad-hoc network. When we compared with conventional handover decision taken by single criteria, multi criteria decision methods reduce handover rate and effectively utilizing the usage of network resources. In Vehicular Ad-hoc Network continuous connectivity is a great challenge, because of vehicles speed and ever changing topology of the network. In VANET vehicles can communicate through Vehicle-to-Vehicle communication mode and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure communication mode. Users in the vehicular network can access internet while on the move from one place to another with V2I. Due to heterogeneous wireless access, vertical handover is needed to maintain continuous connectivity between the vehicles and infrastructures. In this paper advanced methods of vertical handover decision algorithm is used to select best available network by comparing multiple parameter values (such as network traffic and vehicle speed). The algorithm is evaluated by assessing the performance through the number of handoff occurs, throughput gained and level of latency attained. The performance of the simulation shows that the number of handover and latency can be minimized where as throughput can be maximized, if we consider vehicle speed and network traffic parameters for taking handover decision process.","PeriodicalId":6615,"journal":{"name":"2014 International Conference on Control, Instrumentation, Communication and Computational Technologies (ICCICCT)","volume":"30 1","pages":"1059-1064"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84443302","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}

Land cover classification is one of the recent researches which find more application in satellite image processing. It is important to recognize different land classes from a multispectral satellite image as the raw image contains noises and less clarity. The work was done in three stages such as preprocessing, feature extraction and classification. Noise present in the images are removed using a non-local means filter in preprocessing. Gabor wavelet and GLCM (gray level co-occurrence matrix) techniques were compared for feature extraction where PCA uses better in dimension reduction. The proposed sparse classifier efficiently classifies the given multispectral satellite image. It identifies the scattering features of same group of textures in the image, produces better accuracy compared to other techniques.","PeriodicalId":6615,"journal":{"name":"2014 International Conference on Control, Instrumentation, Communication and Computational Technologies (ICCICCT)","volume":"26 1","pages":"431-434"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87297358","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 test pattern generation scheme using twisted-ring-counters is more efficient than the pseudo random testing method in detecting random-pattern-resistant faults. Related work based on single fixed-order twisted-ring-counter design requires long test time to achieve high fault coverage and large storage space to store the seeds and the control data. By using multiple programmable twisted-ring-counters (PTRC), a significant reduction in test application cycles were achieved. In this paper, a reconfigurable programmable multiple twisted-ring-counter is proposed to minimize the test time and to generate more number of different test patterns. Here the programmable twisted-ring-counter operates depending on the control signal of the block select module, thus we can generate more number of patterns with less time.
