Due to the complexity of WSNs and the impact they have on the 21st century proceeding technology, they have received lots of attention during past decades, hence it is mandatory to study their fundamentals before any forthcoming research. This paper reviews the alphabets of WSNs in a straight scenario, categorizing them in terms of application, routing and connectivity schemes, besides, practical design challenges and energy supply ways have been classified.","PeriodicalId":6871,"journal":{"name":"2020 11th IEEE Annual Information Technology, Electronics and Mobile Communication Conference (IEMCON)","volume":"18 1","pages":"0001-0007"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88253919","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}

Therefore, filter implementation is a key part of designing a receiver. This paper focuses on the performance of the Bartlett, Blackman-Harris, Chebyshev, Hamming, and Kaiser windows, which were analyzed by implementing each into a deinterleaving algorithm. Deinterleaving pulses are important because receivers often have signals interleaved with an abundance of noise. By using windows, it can reduce the abundance of noise and increase the performance of deinterleaving algorithms. The separation of the radar pulse trains from the pulse stream provides sufficient information to categorize and describe different signals with pulse descriptor words (PDW), such as Time Of Arrival (TOA), Time Of Departure (TOD), Pulse Width (PW), Pulse Repetition Interval (PRI), etc. This study presents the comparison of the five windowing techniques, the application of Hilbert transforms and envelope detection to analyze how each affects the deinterleaving algorithm. Each technique was analyzed by calculating their Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR), and the amount of information lost by measuring the error margin. From the data observed, the Blackman-Harris had the highest SNR, and the Kaiser window had the lowest percent error. The following sections will demonstrate the performance of each windowing technique.","PeriodicalId":6871,"journal":{"name":"2020 11th IEEE Annual Information Technology, Electronics and Mobile Communication Conference (IEMCON)","volume":"98 1","pages":"0505-0510"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73840255","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 comparison to artificial systems, a human brain is likely to rely more on memorization than counting or sequential arithmetic.

Force myography (FMG) signal, a noninvasive technique can record muscle movements while a human participant grasps different objects and be categorized using machine learning (ML) algorithms. In this paper, a popular deep learning technique is presented for hand grasp recognition. A novel convolutional neural network (CNN) architecture was implemented in learning grasps via force myography. Twelve participants wearing an FMG band on dominant hand's forearm performed six hand grasps. Training dataset consisted of one-handed grasping small objects of different shapes and sizes either wrapping or pinching with fingers with a variety of arm poses. The proposed FMG-based CNN model obtained cross-trial classification accuracy of 96% (population mean) and was found comparable with other ML techniques. Pretranined Alexnet (with ImageNet dataset) through transfer learning was implemented to classify the hand grasps for comparison. The proposed model outperformed the pretrained Alexnet in terms of validation accuracy, loss, and training time. For future FMG-based practical applications, it would be advantageous to use the model for transfer learning where comparatively smaller datasets are desirable for training purpose.","PeriodicalId":6871,"journal":{"name":"2020 11th IEEE Annual Information Technology, Electronics and Mobile Communication Conference (IEMCON)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0546-0552"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89899380","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}

However, the major challenge facing VFC was infrastructure stability. unpredictable and unplanned arrive and departure of involved vehicles in VFC have a big effect in the system reliability and task completion time. In this paper, we proposed a reliable mitigation for abrupt vehicle departure by live task migration to induce fault tolerant VFC platform capable of hosting state-full and stateless applications.

The simulation application is based on material handling tasks that are analyzed for human fatigue from repetitive operations. The aim is to detect human motions when performing the tasks and predict fatigue levels associated with these activities. The Julia simulation development addresses developing a computational solution to generate human subjects performing material handling operations synthetically. With the use of several Julia packages, the simulation development used the data from the Qualisys Motion Capture Systems and rendered each of the 41 points of data of a human subject performing lifting and lowering repetitive task.","PeriodicalId":6871,"journal":{"name":"2020 11th IEEE Annual Information Technology, Electronics and Mobile Communication Conference (IEMCON)","volume":"5 1","pages":"0718-0722"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87501450","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 traffic is then modelled with wireless nodes with the UDP/IP protocol stack. When scheduling is applied, packets arriving from different sources are distributed evenly over time; this is most effective with constant arriving packets but should help with other traffic types. This paper aims to determine the effectiveness of evenly distributed packet arrival times on different traffic types under congested and non-congested network condition. Also, the paper analysed how closely the measured simulated queuing delay and queue size replicates the theoretical estimation. The results show that the measured simulated delated was close to theoretical for the Voice application. However, the margin of error increases with increasing network load. The network performance improved when scheduling was applied. The measured delay and queue size for Internet Browsing is challenging to predict theoretically because of the bursty nature of the traffic. However, it performs better when scheduling was applied. Moreso, the combined traffic of Voice, email, and internet browsing in a shared network performed better after scheduling was applied.","PeriodicalId":6871,"journal":{"name":"2020 11th IEEE Annual Information Technology, Electronics and Mobile Communication Conference (IEMCON)","volume":"10 1","pages":"0267-0275"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84586949","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}
