    Bio-inspired method for improving routing protocol performances in vehicular ad-hoc network
    ( 2017)
    Mohamed Elshaikh Elobaid Said Ahmed
    Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANET) grasp the interest of researchers and many governmental agencies as technological solution for human’s transportation systems. VANET aims at providing connectivity among vehicles on the road and infrastructure network in ad hoc communications scheme. In VANET each vehicle uses a routing mechanism to find a path for sending its messages to the last destination, where messages are sent in a multi hop fashion. The aforementioned behavior emphasis the impact of the routing protocol mechanism in the performances of VANET. In recent years, the analysis of VANET routing protocols and their impact on the performances of network with different network scenarios has significantly developed a better understanding of the requirements and goals for designing a VANET routing protocol. Further, in the literature many routing protocol mechanisms are proposed to deal with VANET’s requirements. Nonetheless, proposed routing mechanisms in the literature considered a single network scenario in VANET. However, Vehicles or moving nodes in VANETs are tend to travel in long distances, which implies their engagement in multiple network scenarios and topologies. The adhered behavior of VANET’s nodes results in a need for a routing mechanism that addresses the requirement of more than one network scenarios and topologies. This problem is less considered in the literature. Hence, this thesis proposes a chameleon method routing mechanism to tackle the dynamic topology changes in VANET. The proposed mechanism defines the performances of a routing protocol in different network scenarios as a single and multiple objectives optimization problem. Taguchi Method and differential evolution optimization methods are used to solve the routing parameters optimization problem.

    This paper presents a new pattern framework of using Radon and wavelet transform for facial emotion recognition. The Radon transform is translation and rotation invariants, hence it preserves the variations in pixel intensities. In this work, Radon transform has been used to project the 2D image into Radon space before subjected to Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT). In DWT framework, the approximate coefficients (cA2) at second level decomposition are extracted and used as informative features to recognize the facial emotion. Since there are a large number of coefficients, hence the principal component analysis (PCA) is applied on the extracted features. The k-nearest neighbor classifier is adopted as classifier to classify seven (anger, disgust, fear, happiness, neutral, sadness and surprise) facial emotions. To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed method, the JAFFE database has been employed. Based on the results obtained, the proposed method demonstrates the recognition rate of 91.3%, thus it is promising.

    The MAC protocols play an important role in the performance of wireless sensor network (WSN). MAC protocols are controlled with set of parameters from being dragged to undesired situation such as reduce the power consumption, listening idle, and overhead. This inner- parameters have direct impact on the efficiency of a MAC protocols and overall network performances. The impacts of theses parameters on reduce the power consumption are less considered. In the literature, a lot of studies concentrates on introducing a new protocols to reduce the power consumption for WSN. This paper aims to analysis the inner- parameters of MAC protocols for WSN power consumption by using Taguchi Delta Analysis (TDA). Moreover, the measure of inner - parameters is very important to find the optimal values to reduce the power consumption. This paper utilized Taguchi method to analysis the impact of B-MAC protocol parameters in WSN scenarios by exploits Taguchi delta analysis. Further, four inner - parameters are investigated in a simulation platform. Moreover, simulation experiments are carried out by OMNET++5 to prove the work in this paper. The obtained results show that inner- parameters B-MAC inner- protocol reduce the power consumption of WSN for two different scenarios.

    The main aspect of this work is to study the differences and define the behaviour of two different routing protocols. The first side is Dynamic MANETs On- Demand (DYMO) while the other side is proactive, optimal link-state routing (OLSR) and both the first and second are interactive routing protocols in the Ad-hoc network (VANET). The efficiency of these protocols was analysed and studied based on the use of three performance indicators: PDR, normal load (NRO) and end-to-end de1ay (E2ED) on the ability to change the size of different nodes. Omnet ++ was used by the INET Framework. We also used the SUMO simulation tool to build random movement patterns for VANET. From full simulation, we noticed that OLSR is doing better than DYMO for VANET at a price. Late and, as a result, the development of OLSR work in VANETs compared to DYMO, packet receipt ratios (PDR), side-to-side delay, normal path load, and VANETs.

    Hyper-threading (HT) technology allows one thread to execute its task while another thread is stalled waiting for shared resource or other operations to complete. Thus, this reduces the idle time of a processor. If HT is enabled, an operating system would see two logical cores per each physical core. This gives one physical core the ability to run two threads simultaneously. However, it does not necessarily speed up the performance of a parallel code twice the number of physical cores. This happens when two threads are trying to access the shared CPU resource. The instructions could only be executed one after another at any given time. In this case, parallel CPU-bound code could attain a little improvement in terms of speedup from HT on a quad-core platform, which is Intel i5-2410M@2.30GHz.

    The Optimal Link State Routing (OLSR) protocol employs multipoint relay (MPR) nodes to disseminate topology control (TC) messages, enabling network topology discovery and maintenance. However, this approach increases control overhead and leads to wasted network bandwidth in stable topology scenarios due to fixed flooding periods. To address these challenges, this paper presents an Efficient Topology Maintenance Algorithm (ETM-OLSR) for Enhanced Link-State Routing Protocols. By reducing the number of MPR nodes, TC message generation and forwarding frequency are minimized. Furthermore, the algorithm selects a smaller subset of TC messages based on the changes in the MPR selection set from the previous cycle, adapting to stable and fluctuating network conditions. Additionally, the sending cycle of TC messages is dynamically adjusted in response to network topology changes. Simulation results demonstrate that the ETM-OLSR algorithm effectively reduces network control overhead, minimizes end-to-end delay, and improves network throughput compared to traditional OLSR and HTR-OLSR algorithms.

    Indoor air in area such as house, shopping complex, hospital, university, office and hotel should be monitor for human safety and wellbeing. These closed areas are prone to harmful air pollutants i.e. allergens, smoke, mold, particles, radon and hazardous gas. Laboratories in university are special room in which workers (student, technician, teaching/research assistants, researcher and lecturer) conduct their works and experiments. These activities and the environment will generate air pollutants which concentration depending on their parameters. Anyone in the environment that exposure to these pollutants may have safety and health issue. This paper propose a study of development of a cloud-based electronic nose system for university laboratories air monitoring. The system consists of five dsPIC33-based electronic nose (e-nose) as node which measure main indoor air pollutants along with two thermal comfort variables, i.e. temperature and relative humidity. The nodes are placed at five different laboratories for acquiring air pollutants data in real time. The data will be sent to a web server and the cloud-based system will process, analyse and display by a website in real time. The system will monitor the laboratories main air pollutants and thermal comfort by forecast the contaminants concentration and dispersion in the area. In case of air hazard safety (e.g., gas spills detection and pollution monitoring), the system will alert the security by activate an alarm and through e-mail. The website will display the Air Pollution Index (API) of the area in real-time. Results show that the system performance is good and can be used to monitor the air pollution in the university laboratories.

    Irrigation system is widely used in agriculture sector and has significant impacts to the growth of the plantation or crops. Traditional method of irrigation system always counter problems such as time consuming, human labour cost, inefficient of water usage and monitoring challenging throughout the process. Thus to address the issues, this paper proposed the development of smart irrigation system that embedded various types of sensor and Internet of Things (IoT) platform used for monitoring plant growth. In this work, there are three module have been developed which are hardware, software and integration module of the proposed system. In hardware module, Raspberry Pi is used to calculate and process the data based on the sensors parameters. Different types of sensors have been employed such as soil moisture, humidity, temperature, ultrasonic and vision sensors. In this framework, the reading of soil moisture sensor was obtained from the base station. The Raspberry Pi will receive the information and starts to pump the water from the tank until the condition of soil moisture content is normal (i.e. reach the threshold value). In addition, the DHT22 sensor will act as the monitoring system in terms of temperature and humidity data. While, the ultrasonic sensor will send the information to the microprocessor and calculate the water level. Furthermore, the webcam vision is used for monitoring the plant growth during the day and night. While, the dripping process runs in real-time application to the plant. The microcontroller ESP8266 used to control the state of ON or OFF light bulb depending on the value of LDR sensor. Based on the results and monitoring process, the proposed smart irrigation system able to works in promising environment with real time data in which it has been monitored through the IoT platform.

    Vehicle Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs) have become a viable technology to improve traffic flow and safety on the roads. Due to its effectiveness and scalability, the Wingsuit Search-based Optimised Link State Routing Protocol (WS-OLSR) is frequently used for data distribution in VANETs. However, the selection of MultiPoint Relays (MPRs) plays a pivotal role in WS-OLSR’s performance. This paper presents an improved MPR selection algorithm tailored to WS-OLSR, designed to enhance the overall routing efficiency and reduce overhead. The analysis found that the current OLSR protocol has problems such as redundancy of HELLO and TC message packets or failure to update routing information in time, so a WS-OLSR routing protocol based on improved-MPR selection algorithm was proposed. Firstly, factors such as node mobility and link changes are comprehensively considered to reflect network topology changes, and the broadcast cycle of node HELLO messages is controlled through topology changes. Secondly, a new MPR selection algorithm is proposed, considering link stability issues and nodes. Finally, evaluate its effectiveness in terms of packet delivery ratio, end-to-end delay, and control message overhead. Simulation results demonstrate the superior performance of our improved MR selection algorithm when compared to traditional approaches.
