The paper reported a field survey that sought to examine the technical implications in the adoption of a Global System for Mobile communication GSM-based metering system in the New Juaben Municipality. Both simple random sampling and interview guide methods were used. The issues considered under the study were; understanding of a GSM-based metre reading, mobile phone penetration among consumers, reliability...
Water supply has become a big problem over the past few years, due to overpopulation, climate change, and deterioration of pipes which can cause major problems, such as water leakage. The real problem is not (in most cases) the size of the leak, but the time it takes to detect it. In this paper, an implementation of a system to monitor the water tanks is presented. The system is called InteRface for...
The weaknesses of 2G combined with the need for backward compatibility make all the mobile networks 2G, 3G and 4G vulnerable to Man-in-the- Middle attacks using fake base stations ("IMSI Catchers"). Such equipment used to be quite expensive and unaffordable for most people. However, with the fall of hardware prices and the emergence of open source software, it is possible to build an IMSI...
The custom of pilgrimage is widespread all over the world, e.g. Kumbh Mela in India, Hajj in Saudi Arabia. These are the peaceful gatherings wherein, millions of people from all corners of the world come to perform their holy rituals. However, during these events, pilgrims getting lost in the crowd, medical emergencies and stampede are likely to happen. In such incidents, authorities involved in the...
Receiving sensitivity of communication system is required to improve as the recent growth of data service in mobile communication. Thus, the interference caused by passive intermodulation (PIM) attracted more attention in the research of mobile communication. On the other hand, point of interface (POI) plays a more and more important role in practical application at recent years, in order to solve...
Among the Organized crime, Human trafficking hold third place where as the first and second or drug and weapon trade across the globe. Human trafficking is a shame on Humanity. As per the report of Human Rights commission of India over 40,000 children are reported missing every year of which 11000 are untraced [1][2]. Another statics report saying 80% of human trafficking is done for sexual exploitation...
Malaysia has periodic problems with air quality reaching hazardous levels because of smoke haze. The heavy haze, described as a pall of smoke caused widespread health problems especially among the elderlies, the young and kids. Haze is an atmospheric phenomenon where dust, smoke and other dry particles obscure the clarity of the sky. This haze pollution has serious implications to health as well as...
Most of the rural parts of India are affected by frequent power cuts and abnormal voltage ratios. A hybrid generation system consist photovoltaic (PV), wind turbine (WT) and Battery is presented to supply stable power to rural residential loads. DC/DC converters are used to control the power flow to the load and Maximum Power Point Tracker (MPPT) is used for maximum power extraction from the solar...
This paper proposes a multi function solution, based on GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication) networks [1] for control of a motor driving circuit and LCD (Liquid Crystal Display). This system provides ideal solution for controlling the direction of motor driving within a specified range of time, two directions where controlled in addition to activated functionality with 5V. In this system,...
Approximately one-third of all independently living elderly people are not compliant with their drug therapy. This lack of medication management results either in undermedication or overmedication, causing unnecessary and often serious health risks. This problem will worsen in the future with the change of demographics and cost constraints in the health sector. Therefore there is a need for (cost-)...
Indian economy is mainly based on agriculture. The most important parameter for the agriculture is timely and sufficient supply of water. Most of the farmers are dependent on electric water pumps for irrigation which demands electricity. The frequent, intermittent, low voltage supply of power to the agriculture sector has caused problems to the farmers who are spending their time monitoring the supply...
The test activities performed during the life cycle of the telecommunication service development ensure the service quality and stability so necessary to achieve the maximum availability and reliability. The paper presents authors' contribution to remote and distributed testing for mobile communications services based on cloud computing assets and paradigms. The access solutions to the test methods...
In this paper we aim to introduce a power optimizing system for Base Transceiver Station. This technique will help to maintain an uninterruptible communication service to the mobile users. This smart intelligent system monitors the battery under voltage levels, Diesel Engine alternator diesel tank float level and room temperature condition. Power optimization system is microcontroller based and also...
Nowadays, Heart related diseases are on the rise. Cardiac arrest is quoted as the major contributor to sudden and unexpected death rate in the modern stress filled lifestyle around the globe. A system that warns the person about the onset of the disease earlier automatically will be a boon to the society. This is achievable by deploying advances in wireless technology to the existing patient monitoring...
Tele-health is an inter-disciplinary area where the delivery of health, medical information and services over large and small distances is possible by combining electronic information with communication technologies. Deaths from cardiovascular diseases have decreased substantially over the past two decades, largely as a result of advances in acute care and cardiac surgery. These developments have...
M2M has been integrated into the national "Information Industry of science and technology develops 11th Five-Year Plan and 2020 long-term planning framework" as a key supported project. Network communication as the core of M2M technologies also restricts its development. SimCom Inc. produced SIM4100 is a TD-SCDMA/GSM mobile communication module solution. The article designs the minimal M2M...
The GPRS is a useful mean to solve the communication problem in the automatic system of power distribution network system. This paper designs a GPRS-based real-time system to monitor the on-off states of the switching station in the power distribution system. The system is consisting of a low-power controller of MSP430F149, the module of GR64 from WAVECOM company and detection circuits of on-off states...
Managing bipolar disorder is an increasingly important healthcare issue as the global prevalence of this condition grows. A widely practiced method of monitoring the course of the disorder is by mood and general mental health questionnaires. However, current mobile technology provides a potential means of monitoring the behavior of individuals and this information could be of value for recognizing...
This paper deals with the solid waste monitoring and management system using radio frequency identification (RFID) associate with intelligent systems. The system consists of RFID system, mobile communication like GSM and geographical information system (GIS) for tracking vehicle position. The proposed system would be able to monitor the solid waste collection process and management the overall collection...
Micro-climate monitoring usually requires deploying a large number of measurement tools. By adopting vehicular wireless sensor networks (VSNs), we can use fewer tools to achieve fine-grained monitoring. This work proposes a VSN architecture to realize micro-climate monitoring based on GSM short messages and availability of GPS receivers on vehicles. We demonstrate our prototype of a ZigBee-based car...
