This paper presents design of a new stable 14T full power efficient adder circuit. The proposed circuit is designed based on Pass Transistor Logic (PTL) network using NMOS transistor only. The proposed circuit is simulated at layout level using Microwind EDA tools for 45nm technology in terms of power and voltage level at the sum and carry nodes. The proposed circuit performance is compared with a...
Although IEEE 802.11p technology is standardized for road safety and efficiency applications, the channel congestion problem is its key weakness necessitating distributed congestion control (DCC) algorithms on different layers of the communication stack. In this paper, we propose DCC-enabled Contention based Forwarding scheme targeting multi-hop dissemination of Decentralised Event Notification Messages...
Distributed teams are geographically separated and may need to rely on networked communication technologies (e.g., audio or video conference, email) to mediate their interaction. A limitation of these networked communication technologies is that they generate transmission delays that result from network congestion or routing issues. For the purposes of this research we focus on verbal communication...
In real-time multicast, delay and inter-destination delay variation of group members are bounded above by a value. The problem is known as Delay and Delay Variation Bounded Multicast Tree (DVBMT), which is proven to be NP-complete. In this paper, we propose a directional approach (DCS) for core selection and tree generation satisfying delay and inter-destination delay variation constraints. After...
A mobile adhoc network is an independent system of mobile stations associated by wireless link to form a system. This system can be modeled in the form of an uninformed graph. Adhoc networks are peer to peer, multihope networks were data packets are transmitted to a source to destination through intermediate nodes (which serve as router). The infrastructure is not the main issue to setup MANET and...
Reversible logic is one of the emerging computational methodologies which assures zero power dissipation through theoretical laws of thermodynamics. It has received significant interest in application on quantum computing, nanotechnologies and low power computing devices. In this work, we present a reversible logic implementation for Binary Coded Decimal (BCD) adder which is designed to obtain lowest...
In two-tier heterogeneous cellular networks (HCN) where small cells are deployed overlaid with macro cells, base station (BS) association is one of the fundamental problems, which becomes even more challenging when the small cell BSs are connected to the gateways via imperfect backhaul links, e.g. using wireless technologies. In this paper, we first analyze the mean packet delay in radio access and...
Reversible logic is an emerging technique of upcoming future technologies. Low heat dissipation and energy recycle principle are encouraging its demand for low power daily usage portable devices. In this paper, two reversible gates have been proposed, named as R-I gate and R-II gate, for realizing reversible combinational logic circuits. The proposed two gates can be used for realisation of basic...
In this study, the effect of pure synchronous and asynchronous transmission delay was examined in an interactive videotelephony setting. It was found that the conversational quality rated by participants of the study was clearly dependant on the tested conditions. This outcome can to some extend be ascribed to the used task which facilitated the usage of the visual channel for social interaction....
Delay has been found as one of the most crucial factors determining the Quality of Experience (QoE) in synchronous video-mediated communication. The effect has been extensively studied for dyadic conversations and recently the study of small group communications has become the focus of the research community. Contrary to dyads, in which the delay is symmetrically perceived, this is not the case for...
We provide an improved bound for the expectation of the stationary delay under the maximum weight scheduling (MWS) policy in one-hop wireless networks. In the model, the interference of the links is characterized by an interference graph G=(V, E). For a vector μ ∊ R|V|+, let χf (G, μ) be the weighted fractional coloring number for the graph G under the weight vector μ. For an arrival rate vector λ...
The proliferation of cloud services makes virtualization technology more important. One important feature of virtualization is live Virtual Machine (VM) migration, which can be employed to facilitate load balancing, fault management and server maintenance etc. Two main metrics of evaluating a live VM migration mechanism are total migration time and downtime. The existing literature on live VM migration...
To create a portal to transfer knowledge may seem easy. However, our experience shows that, in order for a user to accept the learning portal as their primary source of knowledge, a lot of attention to detail is necessary in how the content and interface is built. In order for users to accept a learning portal and to use it as their primary source of knowledge, not only must the content be arranged...
The development of generic wireless channel simulator is proposed in this work. This simulator is based on the time-scale domain generalized eigenstructure for all wireless propagation channels and developed in LabVIEW®. It is envisaged that such simulator will be able to serve as all-in-one system for the evaluation of the channel characteristics and transceiver performance for almost all contemporary...
Numerically well-conditioned state-space realisations for all-pass systems, such as Padé approximations to exp(-s), are derived that can be computed using exact integer arithmetic. This is then applied to the a series of functions of exp(-s). It is also shown that the H-infinity norm of the transfer function from the input to the state of a balanced realisation of the Padé approximation of exp(-s)...
The problem of identifying dynamical models on the basis of measurement data is usually considered in a classical open-loop or closed-loop setting. In this paper this problem is generalized to linear dynamical systems that operate in a complex interconnection structure and the dynamical relationships between the measured variables signals need to be identified. It is shown that the classical Direct...
We analyze the convergence of gradient-based optimization algorithms that base their updates on delayed stochastic gradient information. The main application of our results is to gradient-based distributed optimization algorithms where a master node performs parameter updates while worker nodes compute stochastic gradients based on local information in parallel, which may give rise to delays due to...
MapReduce is a state-of-the-art computation paradigm that is becoming widely used for processing large-scale datasets. Hadoop is an open-source implementation of MapReduce and follows a masterCslave architecture. This architecture makes Hadoop suffer from a single point of failure in the JobTracker. In this paper, we design a solution to resolve the single point of failure of the Job Tracker and then...
This work considers control decomposition problems in multiple-master/multiple-slave (MMMS) systems. The MMMS systems are famous for increased dexterity and higher payload capabilities comparing to conventional systems. Owing to availability of multiple operators it is possible to solve complex tasks that require distributed environment sensing and/or involve additional cognitive load. We also briefly...
How to save power in wireless networks is a crucial problem because the official power saving scheme in IEEE 802.16m does not work efficiently. In this paper, we propose a power saving scheme for delivering non-real-time data. According to behaviors of a client in communication, our power saving scheme can dynamically adjust the sleep time of a client to avoid waking up the client and consuming its...
