Predicting the performance of underwater acoustic (UWA) communication is a big task because the physical properties of the water. Since sea trial is expensive, prior simulation is a common method to enhance the mission success. However, a simulator cannot predict the real UWA modem performance and behavior. Recently, there is an interest of using an UWA channel emulator for gaining insight of the...
An efficient numeral-based coding mechanism, called SDT-free is proposed in this paper that avoids crosstalk faults. The SDT-free coding mechanism completely removes bit patterns ‘11111’ and ‘00000’ which impose the worst crosstalk effects considering inductance effects. In this way, the coding mechanism improves the reliability of chip channels and offers invariant delay for channels. To minimize...
Recently, the IEEE P1918.1 standardization activity has been initiated for defining a framework for the Tactile Internet. Within this activity, IEEE P1918.1.1 is a task group for the standardization of Haptic Codecs for the Tactile Internet. Primary goal of the task group is to define/develop codecs for both closed-loop (kinesthetic information exchange) and open-loop (tactile information exchange)...
In this paper we introduce and evaluate Haar based codec assisted medium and long range data transport structures, e.g., bus segments, Network on Chip interconnects, able to deal with technology scaling related phenomena (e.g., increased susceptibility to proximity coupling noise and transmission delay variability), targeting energy savings at the expense of a reasonably small overhead, i.e., 1 extra...
The WiMAX network in the city of Baghdad is established by “The State Company for Internet Services” (SCIS). SCIS is a subsidiary of the Ministry of Communications (MoC) in Iraq. SCIS is responsible for the installation and operation of WiMAX networks and is also the prime “Wireless Internet service provider” (WISP) in Iraq. This paper presents a simulation model of a WiMAX network for the city of...
Nowadays, SoC uses Network on Chip (NoC) to connect its increasing number of building blocks. FPGAs, like SoCs, can use NoC to connect its increasing number of tiles, memories, DSP slices and embedded processors. But one drawback of using NoC is that increasing its router ports will affect the area, power and frequency of the system significantly. For FPGAs to benefit from the NoC approach we have...
This paper focuses on proposing approaches for the improvement of Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) service quality in Wireless Mesh Network (WMN). While WMNs have self-healing, self-forming and dynamic topology features, they still pose challenges for the implementation of multimedia applications, such as voice, in various scenarios. The research has been conducted using a network simulator and...
The Internet of Things (IoT) is expected to reach a massive scale in the next few years and LTE has introduced a feature in Rel-13 called eMTC to support wide-area connectivity for IoT devices. One important trend for IoT is the integration of voice capability into the devices. However, low-cost, low-complexity IoT User Equipment (UE) typically supports only half-duplex communication and low data...
Capitalizing on the latest developments in 5G and ultra-low delay networking as well as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and robotics, we advocate here for the emergence of an entirely novel Internet which will enable the delivery of skills in digital form. We outline the technical challenges which need to be overcome to enable such a vision, i.e., on the development of a 5G Tactile Internet, standardized...
This paper presents a novel steganalysis scheme for the detection of adaptive multi-rate (AMR) audio steganography. AMR audio codec is used widely in mobile communication and mobile Internet system. Due to the modifiability of pitch delay, several AMR steganography schemes based on pitch delay modulation have emerged gradually and have high capacity and good imperceptibility. Based on the difference...
This paper proposes a new scheduling scheme which based on user perception, Channel- and QoS-Aware (known as E-MQS scheduler) for real-time traffics in LTE downlink direction. The proposed scheduling scheme is based on the extension of the E-model and the consideration of Maximum Queue Size (MQS) as a an essential factor for the metric. The proposed scheduling scheme is evaluated in LTE heterogeneous...
In this paper, we present experimental results on WebRTC voice quality as a function of LTE radio coverage. Different LTE radio conditions were tested by varying the radio path loss (with fast fading) in controlled test lab conditions. Voice quality was evaluated at different speech coding bit rates in terms of POLQA score and mouth-to-ear delay. Results show that, with acknowledged mode (AM) data...
The modelling of the network effects on the quality of speech in the Voice over IP networks is the main focus of this paper. The main purpose of the ideas presented here is to achieve high-precision estimation of the speech quality in the environments where the classical approaches of speech quality determination fail. To achieve this high precision a modular neural network model is used to map the...
It is of vital importance to make audiovisual quality assessment, as the growing demand on video telephone services. Users are more enjoying higher quality of video telephone, and their perceptions on video telephone service will directly influence the service provider's performance. So it is significant to study end users' subjective perception, named as Quality of Experience (QoE), on video telephone...
This paper proposes a new scheduling scheme which based on the extended E-model, Channel- and QoS- Aware (known as E-MQS scheduler) for real-time traffics in LTE downlink direction. The real-time services (VoIP, Video, etc.) are very sensitive to network impairments such as delay, packet loss, jitter, etc. The proposed scheduling scheme is based on the extension of the E-model and the consideration...
This paper reveals the potential gain in audio quality that can be achieved by combining Spherical Logarithmic Quantization (SLQ) with advanced broadband error robust low delay audio coding based on ADPCM. We briefly summarize the basic properties and mechanisms of SLQ and the employed ADPCM scheme and show how they can be combined in a freely parameterizable coding algorithm. The resulting codec...
Human-machine interaction is becoming a sufficient part of coming future. Being a bright example of HMI, embedded eye-tracking systems allow user to interact with objects by using human's eye-movements. Due to wearable form-factor, developed eye-tracking system has to conform to low-power consumption, low-heat generation and low EM radiation as well as support wireless data transmission and be space...

LTE is the third generation partnership program 3GPP communication system which is wireless in nature and is also the first IP based system. VoLTE (Voice over LTE) is expected to be deployed in the near future for providing voice services. It's ability to reach high throughput is promising in both downlink and...
