Background & Objective: The circular slotted monopole microstrip antenna with Coplanar Waveguide (CPW) feed for unified GSM and Ultra-Wideband (UWB) applications have been presented in this article. Circular shaped slots have been embedded in the radiating patch. Less surface area has been found due to slots etching and the overall antenna size is reduced by 45%. Results: The proposed antenna demonstrates Read More

Background: Systems-on-chips (SoCs) used by smart phones processor manufacturing companies such as Intel, Microsoft, Texas Samsung, etc, is an essential part of any mobile device. “Network-on-Chip” is used to integrate huge numbers of Intellectual Property (IP) blocks on a single Integrated Chip (IC). Different network topologies may be used in an NoC network, but mesh topology is widely used. In a conventional Read More

Background: Barrier Coverage in Wireless Sensors Networks has been an active research area. Maximizing number of barriers formed after initial random deployment depends on deployment strategies used. Methods: Where existing works rely on sensor relocation after initial random deployment to maximize barrier coverage, authors in this article proposed a novel Minimum Radius Algorithm (MRA), a first of its kind w Read More

Background & Objective: The healthcare applications provide the use of the wireless sensor network and wireless transmission of the physiological data of the patient due to the lack of medical facility. The wireless transmission can be caused due to some losses during the exchange of information. Various techniques are introduced in recent years to overcome these losses. Methods: For the efficient transmission require Read More

Starting from the early 2000s, the concept of Smart City emerged as a new paradigm for urban development, driven by the exponential progress in communication and information technology as well as by the needs of a constant growing population. The Smart City context requires flexible infrastructures and processes, capable of reacting proactively depending on the situation. In this paper, we seek to explore the role of Read More

For wireless communication networks, massive MIMO (Multiple-Input Multiple- Output) technology has been considered a major achievement. MIMO Technology consists of equipping a base station with a large number of antennas to serve many active users. Through MIMO Technology, the ability to concentrate on transmitted signal energy in very short spaces would result in huge increases in system capacity. While this new conc Read More

Background & Objective: In this article, a nano-cell coupled 2D photonic crystal waveguide bio- detection platform is proposed for the detection of organic liquids such as water, ethanol, glycerol, benzene and bromine for different refractive indices (n). Methods: The detection characteristics are analyzed and obtained for the band diagram, before and after change of radius (r) as well as after the injection of liquids into the heart Read More

Background: The privacy enabled IPv6 addressing mechanism ensures the privacy of the node's identification in the communication messages. It makes it difficult for adversaries to track nodes and link any activities with the node's IP or the MAC address. Scalability of the privacy enabled IPv6 addressing scheme for 6LoWPAN may be affected due to underlying MAC layer mechanisms. Objective: Hence, this study aims to explor Read More

Background and Objective: In the Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN), sensors are placed on the human body, which has various mobility patterns like seating, walking, standing and running. This mobility typically assisted with hand and leg movements on which most of the sensors are mounted. Previous studies were largely focused on simulations of WBAN mobility without focusing much on hand and leg movements. T Read More

Background: Cloud-Integrated Wireless Optical Broadband (CIW) access networks inheriting advantages of cloud computing, wireless and optical access networks have a broad prospect in the future. Objectives: Due to failure of components like OLT level, ONU level, link or path failure and cloud component level in CIW, survivability is becoming one of the important issues. Methods: In this paper, we have presented cloud-int Read More
