Abstract

The tremendous growth in Wireless Technology in the field of communication is characterized with increased data speed with high accuracy. In order to satisfy the requirements of a data rate, it has greater complications. These requirements are conquered with Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output (MIMO) communication system. This system has multiple and certain number of transmitting and receiving antennas. Adaptive MIMO system has various conjuction of multiple transmitting and receiving antennas with Orthogonal Space Time Block Codes for encoding, which helps in improving accuracy and high data rates. Adaptive system will control with either one, two, three, or four transmit and receive antennas. The Orthogonal Space-time block coding (OSTBC) encoder by accepting Alamouti code will encode the instruction symbols from the Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (QPSK) modulator. QPSK Demodulator is used to demodulate the output of the OSTBC Combiner. The Frame Error Rate (FER) for three transmit and two receive antennas and the frame error rate for four transmit and two receive antennas is estimated. From the simulation results it is observed that the three transmit and two receive antennas are better.

Abstract

A comparative analysis of different parameters of a hexagonal photonic crystal fiber doped with some other liquid materials, whose refractive indices are lower than the refractive index of the actual core, has been proposed in this paper. Circular air holes are placed in four hexagonal shaped rings. Three holes from the innermost ring are filled not only with air, but also with water, ethanol, and ether to demonstrate the overall analysis of confinement loss, dispersion, and effective area. Finite Element Method is used in the software known as COMSOL Multiphysics for the calculation of effective refractive indices, while the calculation of confinement loss, dispersion and effective area, and the comparison graphs have been plotted in MATLAB. The photonic crystal fibers doped with some specific liquid can also be used for the calculation of sensitivity of that particular liquid or can be used as liquid sensors. It has been observed that the effective refractive indices and the confinement loss not only vary by changing the wavelength, but also by varying the structural parameters like pitch length and diameter of air holes. For this research work, the Perfectly Matched Layer was kept constant and the responses were calculated between diameter of holes, confinement loss, dispersion, effective area, and wavelengths.

Abstract

An octagonal split ring slot DGS (Defected Ground Structure) based MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) microstrip antenna has been presented in this paper. Four ports rectangular patch elements, which are electrically small size 62.8 x 60 x 1.6 mm3 , with FR-4 substrate of dielectric constant 4.4 are proposed in the Multiple Input Multiple Output antenna. The ground plane, which is an inadequate ground structure (DGS) having a number of octagonal split ring slot DGS (OSRSDGS) windows are organised in H shape under the patch. The High-Frequency Structure Simulator (HFSS) software is used to simulate the MIMO antenna. The proposed antenna were simulated, fabricated, and measured. The proposed MIMO antenna resonates at 5.9 GHz frequency with -17.9 dB isolation with an overall bandwidth of 369 MHz. The proposed MIMO antenna results were explained in terms of reflection coefficients, data rate, Mutual Coupling Coefficients (MCC), and peak gain along with radiation pattern. The simulated and measured results give good agreement between them. The detail of the antenna design and results are presented and discussed.

Abstract

The main theme of this paper is to implement the mobility model in Cooja simulator and to investigate the impact of the mobility on the performance of Routing Protocol over Low power Lossy networks (RPL) in the IoT environment. In the real world, mobility occurs frequently. Therefore in this paper, a frequently used mobility model - Random Way Point (RWP) is used for analysis. RWP can be readily applied to many existing applications. By default, the Cooja simulator does not support mobility models. For this, the Bonn Motion is introduced into Cooja as a plugin. As IoT deals with the resourceconstrained environment, a comparison is done between the static environment and the mobile environment in terms of power consumption. As expected, the results indicate that mobility affects the RPL in terms of Power Consumption.

Abstract

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) comprises of low power, minimal effort active devices, which have restricted power sources. With a boundless development of the utilization of WSN, the security components are likewise considered to be a rising enormous issue. Wireless sensor plays a major role in collection of data in tedious areas. WSN are now widely used in collection of data such as temperature of a particular area and also plays a major role in military and agricultural purposes. The data that are transmitted over this network must be ensured for security. In this paper, the authors have discussed about the various attacks on the Wireless Sensor Network and proposed a new solution for the secure transmission of data in the sensor network using NTP server.
