FPGA-based Design System for a Two-Segment Fibonacci LFSR Random Number Generator

10.11591/ijece.v7i4.pp1882-1891
Zulfikar Zulfikar , Yuwaldi Away , Rafiqa Shahnaz Noor
For a long time, random numbers have been used in many fields of application. Much work has been conducted to generate truly random numbers and is still in progress. A popular method for generating random numbers is a linear-feedback shift register (LFSR). Even though a lot of work has been done using this method to search for truly random numbers, it is an area that continues to attract interest. Therefore, this paper proposes a circuit for generating random numbers. The proposed circuit is designed to produce different sequences of numbers. Two segments of Fibonacci LFSR are used to form a generator that can produce more varied random numbers. The proposed design consists of blocks: segment 1, segment 2, and a clock controller. The system produces random numbers based on an external clock. The clock signal for the first segment is that of the external clock, whereas that for the second segment is modified by the clock controller. The second stage (segment 2) is executed only after every 2n1−1 clock cycles. The proposed design can generate different sequences of random numbers compare to those of the conventional methods. The period of the proposed system is less than that of the original Fibonacci LFSR. However, the period is almost equal to the original one when the system is realized in 32-bit or 64-bit form. Finally, the proposed design is implemented on a field-programmable gate array (FPGA). It occupies more area and runs at a lower frequency compared with the original Fibonacci LFSR. However, the proposed design is more efficient than the segmented leap-ahead method concerning space occupancy.

The future of Open Distributed Processing systems (ODP) will see an increasing of components number, these components are sharing resources. In general, these resources are offering some kind of services. Due to the huge number of components, it is very difficult to offer the optimum Quality of service (QoS). This encourages us to develop a model for QoS negotiation process to optimize the QoS in an ODP system. In such system, there is a High risk of software or hardware failure. To ensure good performance of a system based on our model, we develop it using a formal method. In our case, we will use Event-B to get in the end of our development a system correct by construction.

A Survey on Comparisons of Cryptographic Algorithms Using Certain Parameters in WSN

10.11591/ijece.v7i4.pp2232-2240
Pooja Singh , R.K. Chauhan
The Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have spread its roots in almost every application. Owing to their scattered nature of sensor nodes, they are more prone to attacks. There are certain applications e.g. military, where sensor data’s confidentiality requirement during transmission is essential. Cryptography has a vital role for achieving security in WSNs.WSN has resource constraints like memory size, processing speed and energy consumption which bounds the applicability of existing cryptographic algorithms for WSN. Any good security algorithms has higher energy consumption by the nodes, so it’s a need to choose most energy-efficient cryptographic encryption algorithms for WSNs. This paper surveys different asymmetric algorithms such as RSA, Diffie-Hellman, DSA, ECC, hybrid and DNA cryptography. These algorithms are compared based on their key size, strength, weakness, attacks and possible countermeasures in the form of table.

The speech enhancement algorithms are utilized to overcome multiple limitation factors in recent applications such as mobile phone and communication channel. The challenges focus on corrupted speech solution between noise reduction and signal distortion. We used a modified Wiener filter and compressive sensing (CS) to investigate and evaluate the improvement of speech quality. This new method adapted noise estimation and Wiener filter gain function in which to increase weight amplitude spectrum and improve mitigation of interested signals. The CS is then applied using the gradient projection for sparse reconstruction (GPSR) technique as a study system to empirically investigate the interactive effects of the corrupted noise and obtain better perceptual improvement aspects to listener fatigue with noiseless reduction conditions. The proposed algorithm shows an enhancement in testing performance evaluation of objective assessment tests outperform compared to other conventional algorithms at various noise type conditions of 0, 5, 10, 15 dB SNRs. Therefore, the proposed algorithm significantly achieved the speech quality improvement and efficiently obtained higher performance resulting in better noise reduction compare to other conventional algorithms.

A suitable technique for gain improvement of multi-resonance CPW-fed antenna for satellite application at Ku-, K- and Ka-bands for user terminals is presented in this paper. New concept of stacking numerous layers with different dielectric material has been also presented. The conventional antenna design consists of a CPW-fed patch antenna with modified CPW elements printed on Rogers TMM4 substrate. In order to improve the antenna performance in term of gain and bandwidth, we propose two different configurations. The first one consists of designing a stacked structure by adding on the top of the single antenna an additional layer with parasitic elements. The dielectric added consists in Rogers RO3010 substrate with a high permittivity of 10.2. The proposed antenna is formed by two layers separated by an air gap; this new configuration provides major reduction on antenna beam width and allows gain enhancement. The second one implement the design of 2×1 and 4×1 series feed antenna arrays based on the conventional CPW-fed antenna. These array configurations are used to achieve higher gain in comparison with stacked solution. Finally we combined both techniques yielding the stacked 4×1 series feed antenna array. Fabricated CPW-fed antenna and the achieved results demonstrate the performance of presented techniques for gain improvements.

New Optimization Method of the MPPT Algorithm and Balancing Voltage Control of the Three-Level Boost Converter (TLBC)

10.11591/ijape.v6.i2.pp113-122
Hassan Abouobaida , Said El Bied
This paper is dedicated to studying the control of the Three Level Boost Converters (TLBC) and the optimization method of Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) based a variable step. The main objective of the optimization is to find a compromise between the response time and the amplitude of the oscillations around the optimal point. The nonlinear behavior of the TLBC is manifested by the presence of the disturbances. For reasons of simplicity of the control, a linearization based on the dynamic compensation of the disturbance is proposed. On the one hand, a cascaded MPPT algorithm and a simple linear regulator allow adjusting the inductance current and a maximum power operation of the wind system. On the other hand, a second linear regulator ensures balancing of the output voltages. The paper proposes a new approach to the optimization of the Inc-Cond MPPT. The suggested contribution consists of using an exponential function of the power derivative to develop a variable step. The adoption of the variable step size according to the dynamics of the wind system implies a compromise between the response time and the amplitude of the ripples around the optimal point. The simulation results showed that a variable step size, especially in transient conditions and during a very rapid climate change recover the optimum power point within a reasonable time and suitable amplitude of the oscillations. The results achieved in this study show the ability of the proposed approach to extract the maximum power according to the available wind speed while guaranteeing a better efficiency. The developed study is summarized by the following points: (a) modeling the wind conversion systems, (b) detailing the control approach of the TLBC and presenting the variable step method (c) presenting the simulations results and evaluating the perf.
