Joint Routing and Congestion Control in Multipath Channel based on Signal to Noise Ratio with Cross Layer Scheme

10.11591/ijece.v8i4.pp2207-2219
Istikmal Istikmal , Adit Kurniawan , Hendrawan Hendrawan
Routing protocol and congestion control in Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) have important roles in wireless mobile network performance. In wireless communication, the stability of the path and successful data transmission will be influenced by the channel condition. This channel condition constraints come from path loss and the multipath channel fading. With these constraints, the algorithm in the routing protocol and congestion control is confronted with the uncertainty of connection quality and probability of successful packet transmission, respectively. It is important to investigate the reliability and robustness of routing protocol and congestion control algorithms in dealing with such situation.  In this paper, we develop a detailed approach and analytical throughput performance with a cross layer scheme (CLS) between routing and congestion control mechanism based on signal to noise ratio (SNR) in Rician and Rayleigh as multipath fading channel. We proposed joint routing and congestion control TCP with a cross layer scheme model based on SNR (RTCP-SNR). We compare the performance of RTCP-SNR with conventional routing-TCP and routing-TCP that used CLS with routing aware (RTCP-RA) model. The analyses and the simulation results showed that RTCP-SNR in a multipath channel outperforms conventional routing-TCP and RTCP-RA.

The use of dimensional reduction in the diagnostic system model of coronary heart disease, many same of case do not take into account the clinical procedures commonly used by clinicians in diagnosis. This requires that the examination be done thoroughly, thus making the high cost of diagnosis. This study aims to develop a tiered approach model in reducing dimensions for predicting CHD. The method in this research is divided into several stages, namely preprocessing, building the knowledge base and system testing. Preprocessing consists of several processes, namely the removal of missing value data, grouping attributes, and dividing data for training and testing. Knowledge base modeling is divided into three levels. The first level were the risk factor attributes, the second level were the type of chest pain & ECG, and the third were scintigraphy & coronary angiography. The knowledge base was modeled based on fuzzy rules and its inferencing process using Mamdani method. The first, fuzzy rule-based was obtained by using the FRS study. The second and third stage, using the induction rule algorithm to get the rule, then converted to fuzzy rule. The tested algorithm were C4.5, CART, and FDT. The system testing was performed by the 5-folds cross-validation method, with performance parameters based on population and individual. The test resulted using the Cleveland and Hungarian datasets, the FRS+CART combination was capable of reducing the most attributes and the highest likelihood ratio performance parameter, which was 15.96. FRS+C4.5, at least the attributes were reduced, but has an AUC performance of 80.43%, while FRS+FDT, more reduced attributes than FRS+C4.5, and AUC performance parameters are better than FRS+CART. Dimensional reduction model for prediction of CHD, capable of providing better performance than not tiered.

Mrudula Nimbarte , Kishor Bhoyar
In the recent years, face recognition across aging has become very popular and challenging task in the area of face recognition.  Many researchers have contributed in this area, but still there is a significant gap to fill in. Selection of feature extraction and classification algorithms plays an important role in this area. Deep Learning with Convolutional Neural Networks provides us a combination of feature extraction and classification in a single structure. In this paper, we have presented a novel idea of 7-Layer CNN architecture for solving the problem of aging for recognizing facial images across aging. We have done extensive experimentations to test the performance of the proposed system using two standard datasets FGNET and MORPH(Album II). Rank-1 recognition accuracy of our proposed system is 76.6% on FGNET and 92.5% on MORPH(Album II). Experimental results show the significant improvement over available state-of- the-arts with the proposed CNN architecture and the classifier.

Development of a Spatial Path-Analysis Method for Spatial Data Analysis

10.11591/ijece.v8i4.pp2456-2467
Wiwin Sulistyo , Subanar Subanar , Reza Pulungan
Path analysis is a method used to analyze the relationship between independent and dependent variables to identify direct and indirect relationship between them. This method is developed by Sewal Wright and initially only uses correlation analysis results in identifying the variables' relationship. Path analysis method currently is mostly used to deal with variables with non-spatial data type. When analyzing variables that have elements of spatial dependency, path analysis could result in a less precise model. Therefore, it is necessary to build a path analysis model that is able to identify and take into account the effects of spatial dependencies. Spatial autocorrelation and spatial regression methods can be used to develop path analysis method so as to identify the effects of spatial dependencies. This paper proposes a method in the form of path analysis method development to process data that have spatial elements. This study also discusses our effort on establishing a method that could be used to identify and analyze the spatial effect on data in the framework of path analysis; we call this method spatial path analysis.

This paper proposes an improved handover algorithm method for vehicle location prediction (VLP-HA) using mobility prediction database. The main advantage of this method is the mobility prediction database is based on real traffic data traces. Furthermore, the proposed method has the ability to reduce handover decision time and solve resource allocation problem. The algorithm is simple and can be computed very rapidly; thus, its implementation for a high-speed vehicle is possible. To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed method, QualNet simulation is carried out under different velocity scenarios. Its performance is compared with conventional handover method. The superiority of the proposed method over conventional handover method in deciding the best handover location and choosing candidate access points is highlighted by simulation. It was found that VLP-HA has clearly reduced handover delay by 45% compared to handover without VLP, give high accuracy, hence low complexity algorithm.

Information Hiding is a task that face difficult challenges in current time. The reason for these challenges is the rapid development of methods of detection of hidden information. So, researchers have been interested in developing methods of concealment, making it difficult for attackers to access hidden information using new methods of concealment. Such as the introducing a complex algorithms, use a random methods and invent more complicated and difficult steps. This paper presents a new method of hiding information within the image. This method creates a new sequence of mysterious and difficult steps by dividing the secret text on all image and random distributing of bits to each row. Then using a special reverse method to hide the bits in that row. The LSB method has also been developed to make it more difficult to hide the pixel. The results presented illustrate the strength and security of the method and provide greater protection for hidden information. Also, the result illustrate the quality of the stego image compared with the original image using PSNR and SSIM quality measures.

Manual formulation of poultry diet by taking into account the fulfillment of all nutrients requirement with least cost is a difficult task. Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) shows promising technique to solve this problem. However, there is a lack of studying a good parameter for PSO to solve feed formulation problem since PSO is sensitive to control parameter which depends on the problem. Therefore, this study investigates good swarm size, total iterations, acceleration coefficients, and inertia weight to produce a better formula. PSO with proposed good parameters is compared with other parameters. The obtained result shows that PSO with good parameters choice produces the highest fitness. Furthermore, good parameters of PSO can be used as a reference for a software developer and for further research to optimize poultry diet using PSO.

In this paper, the automotive power window has been integrated with an advanced safety mechanism called anti-pinch system for good protection. Based on a contact method, a new safety mechanism using a low-cost technology has been proposed to set a threshold value as a limit to decide the pinch condition, or automatic threshold method. The electric current information is easily detected by using current sensor installed on a motor driver without incorporating extra device. Then the pinch condition is quickly reflected and calculated by using current information in the system. Since the automatic threshold is decided by analyzing system behavior in advance, the optimal calculation can be guaranteed and then applied it on the safety mechanism in a cost-effective manner. Through extensive experimental tests, the squeezing forces of the proposed anti-pinch system have been verified to satisfy requirements of the FMVSS 118 regulations.

The high demand of automobiles has also increased the traffic hazards and the road accidents. Life of the people is under high risk. This is because of the lack of best emergency facilities available in our country. An automatic alarm device for vehicle accidents is introduced in this paper. This design is a system which can detect accidents in significantly less time and sends the basic information to first aid centre within a few seconds covering geographical coordinates, the time and angle in which a vehicle accident had occurred. This alert message is sent to the rescue team in a short time, which will help in saving the valuable lives. A Switch is also provided in order to terminate the sending of a message in rare case where there is no casualty, this can save the precious time of the medical rescue team. When the accident occurs the alert message is sent automatically to the rescue team and to the police station. The message is sent through the GSM module and the location of the accident is detected with the help of the GPS module.
