An opportunistic energy‐efficient dynamic self‐configuration clustering algorithm in WSN‐based IoT networks
-  22 September 2023
Graphical Abstract

This paper proposed an opportunistic energy-efficient dynamic self-configuration routing (OEDSR) algorithm for IoT-based applications. Initially, the optimal route to the base station (BS) is calculated by using the residual energy and mobility factor of the sensor nodes obtained through a routing tree model based on graph theory. To reduce the number of connections, an optimal path is determined based on dynamic cluster generation through a hierarchical tree architecture. Finally, the network-related parameters, such as throughput, delay, and packet delivery ratio (PDR), are compared with the peer existing routing protocols to depict the efficiency of the OEDSR protocol.
An ultra‐wideband dual circularly polarized slot antenna with high isolation
-  22 September 2023
Graphical Abstract

An ultra-wideband dual circularly polarized slot antenna with high isolation of better than 20 dB is presented. The L-shaped probes and the ladder strip result in four impedance resonance modes, and the bent strip moderates impedances to achieve an ultrawide impedance bandwidth. Two L-shaped strips on the ladder strip make two circularly polarized modes at the low- and mid-frequency bands, and the bent strip combined with the L-shaped probes creates the third CP resonance mode at the high-frequency band.

Graphical Abstract

The Third Generation Partnership Project launched the Narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT) as part of 5G technology under Release-13. These networks are authorized Low Power Wide Area Networks. It uses less power and sends message over long distances. The NB-IoT can be used widely in industries, environment, and home for automation.
A prefix‐based approach for joint Doppler and channel estimation in underwater communication
-  19 September 2023
Graphical Abstract

In this paper, we propose a new prefix signal based on the hyperbolic chirp signal, which has Doppler invariance properties. These properties enable the extraction of the entire packet even under severe multipath and Doppler. The proposed prefix signal can accurately and efficiently characterize an underwater channel by estimating the multipath delay, amplitude, and Doppler scales.

Novel methods for energy charging and data collection in wireless rechargeable sensor networks
-  10 September 2015
Graphical Abstract

We study the problem of scheduling minimum mobile devices to periodically recharge and collect data from sensors subject to the limited charging range, electric capacity, and memory storage, such that the network lifetime can be guaranteed to be prolonged without limits. For the problem, several algorithms are proposed to find a set of anchor points and schedule minimum mobile devices to visit the generated anchor points. Simulation results show that our proposed methods provide good performance.
Detection and defense of DDoS attack–based on deep learning in OpenFlow-based SDN
-  8 January 2018
Graphical Abstract

This paper introduces a DDoS detection model and defense system based on deep learning in Software Defined Network (SDN) environment. The model can learn patterns from sequences of network traffic and trace network attack activities in a historical manner. The experimental results demonstrate the much better performance of our model compared with conventional machine learning ways. Moreover, the implemented defense system based on the model can effectively clean the DDoS attack traffic.

A new algorithm for cluster head selection in LEACH protocol for wireless sensor networks
-  6 September 2017
Graphical Abstract

Our enhanced protocol called Node Ranked–LEACH is proposed. Our proposed protocol improves the total network lifetime based on node rank algorithm. Node rank algorithm depends on both path cost and number of links between nodes to select the cluster head. This enhancement reflects the real weight of specific node to success to be represented as a cluster head. The proposed algorithm overcomes the random process selection, and it gives a good performance in the network lifetime and energy consumption.

A game model for information dissemination in live streaming e‐commerce environment
- International Journal of Communication Systems
-  18 October 2021
Graphical Abstract

We investigate the internal mechanism of live streaming information dissemination by constructing a model. The simulation results indicate that rewards have direct effect on the information dissemination in low-reputation environment, and the effect declines with the network reputation increases. Furthermore, increasing interaction in a high-reputation environment can facilitate the dissemination of live streaming information.

On the realization of VANET using named data networking: On improvement of VANET using NDN‐based routing, caching, and security
- International Journal of Communication Systems
-  21 September 2022
Graphical Abstract

A systematic review on the realization of NDN-based VANET, specifically for NDN-based routing (not forwarding), caching and security issues, was performed for the period of 2010-2021. The study concluded that caching has been the more investigated topic. There are, however, some gaps still to be tackled. For instance, a means to further reduce the broadcast storm problem in routing may include leveraging all overhead packets for location-aware, and leverage caching for better routing decision.

Graphical Abstract

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have a wide range of applications including security surveillance, military operational capabilities, and content and package delivery. Small-sized wirelessly controlled flying robots complete tasks with and without direct human intervention. UAVs still face serious challenges including path planning and obstacle avoidance that are unavoidable while performing the application-specific functionalities both in indoor and outdoor environments. In this manuscript with a survey, we investigate the state-of-the-art UAV path planning algorithms and obstacle avoidance techniques.
