Seamless redundancy has been recently proven to increase the quality of wireless links communication noticeably. As such, it can be exploited to improve Wi-Fi reliability and make it suitable for industrial environments. Higher benefits can be achieved when phenomena affecting transmissions on the two channels of a redundant link are independent. In this paper, a number of aspects that may lead to...
With the emergence of Internet of Things (IoT), the requirements for scalability and flexibility are continuously increasing, thus easy reconfigurable systems such as Software Defined Radio (SDR) are gaining more popularity. The paper provides an overview of the related work in the field of SDR technologies and solutions for convergence of SDR applications. Furthermore, we analyze how the convergence...
The color-word Stroop paradigm is a neuropsychological test often employed for the evaluation of the cognitive processing when a conflict between different attributes of the same visual stimulus is present. In clinical environments, the standard practice for the Stroop test administration is still based on paper supports and stopwatches. Thus, the aim of the present pilot study was to investigate...
This paper described the development and implementation of a distributed spectrum monitoring and surveillance testbed for identifying and locating RF signals using the Universal Software Radio Peripheral (USRP). We use a centralized RF trace collection testbed to establish the baseline, and we focus on distributed RF trace collection. Challenges associated with synchronization is identified and candidate...
Natural gait consists of synchronous and rhythmic patterns for both the lower and upper limb. People with hemiplegia can experience reduced arm swing, which can negatively impact the quality of gait. Wearable and wireless sensors, such as through a smartphone, have demonstrated the ability to quantify various features of gait. With a software application the smartphone (iPhone) can function as a wireless...
Advances made in wireless connectivity (3G, 4G, WiFi, etc.) opened up a whole range of innovations with regards to applications and services deployed in the railway domain. Examples include providing best effort passenger internet access and periodic communication of diagnostic information from train to railway stations and railway control centres. In later stages, new ideas emerged that fully embrace...
In order to monitor the environmental parameter of underground coalmine, a suspended line inspection robot was designed, which includes many monitoring modules to monitor safety parameters continuously and in real time, such as gas density, CO density, temperature, humidity, and so on. According to the characteristics of multi-body dynamics modeling method, large displacement and nonlinear analysis...
Emerging environmental related problems have greater impact on technical, scientific, social and economical fields, which is why this issue needs attention. On a global scale this issue are being sort out using satellite based instruments. This paper discusses a monitoring system which gives information about environmental conditions on a more local level, the implementation area are categorize by...
In a WSN, sink-node gathers data from surrounding nodes and sends it to outside world via a gateway. Therefore, its location information is important to both attacker and network operator. The former can launch attacks on a sink-node to steal information or damage it, while the latter must hide its location to ensure data's safety, and physical protection. Providing sink-node location information...
Visible light communications (VLC) is an emerging field in technology and research. Estimating the channel taps is a major requirement for designing reliable communication systems. Due to the nonlinear characteristics of the VLC channel those parameters cannot be derived easily. They can be calculated by means of software simulation. In this work, a novel methodology is proposed for the prediction...
SDR is nothing but software defined radio technique using laboratory virtual instrument engineering workbench (LabVIEW) as software to mark the radio utilities hardware implemented i.e. universal software defined radio (USRP). In the advancement of SDR implemented LabVIEW to develop as instrument that offers function to support SDR. SDR is the root of innovative wireless communication environment...
A trend in the industrial domain is that the networks are growing and becoming more complex, this is further accelerated by the digitalization trend. In order to address this, there is a need to improve the efficiency when moving between the R&D phases. For example, integrate innovative research findings into industrial systems, shorten time to market, improve product quality and reduce the number...
Transmission over wireless channel is challenging. As such, different application required different signal processing approach of radio system. So, a highly reconfigurable radio system is on great demand as the traditional fixed and embedded radio system are not viable to cater the needs for frequently change requirements of wireless communication. A software defined radio or better known as an SDR,...
Software Defined Networking (SDN) has attracted tremendous interest in the telecommunication industry due to its ability to abstract, manage and dynamically re-configure end-to-end networks from a centralized controller. Though SDN is considered to be a suitable candidate for various use cases in mobile networks, none of the work so far has discussed its advantages and actual realization for Train-to-Wayside...
Today's carrier-grade networks are highly resilient and provide close to 4 9s end-to-end availability for various services. Going forward it is expected that Software Defined Networking (SDN) will be deployed in carrier networks to offer dynamically programmable services with an equivalent, or even higher, expectation of service availability. Though SDN, with the separation of the control and data...
The deployment of dense networks of Small Cells (SC) is one of the key components of 5G mobile networks and will pose several challenges to the backhaul network. Software-Defined Networking (SDN) is a key technique to cope with the increased management complexity of such heterogeneous deployments, helping in the task of achieving a system-wide network management, which includes the 5G mobile wireless...
