Abstract

MANETs are networks of mobile nodes that are randomly distributed and play a major role in data transmission, route discovery, and route maintenance. Connection recovery and path stability are significant issues in the MANET, making data transfer problematic. When mobile nodes move out of range or when the node lacks adequate energy to maintain connection or path stability, data packet loss happens. We suggest a Clustered Intermediate System-Clustered Intermediate System Local Connection Failure Recovery Algorithm (Clustered Intermediate System-Clustered Intermediate System LLFRA) routing migration technique that builds the node while simultaneously repairing the broken link. Also utilised to look at node energy, energy- drained nodes, and route stability is Dolphin Partner Optimisation (DPO). The suggested approach's primary goal is to guarantee route stability while reducing packet loss. The suggested method is put to the test using the NS-2 simulator. The proposed recovery protocol beats the current technique in charge of PDR, end to end delay, throughput and node failures, according to experimental outputs.

Abstract

Security is one of the key elements of real-time communication systems, especially with the developments in digital communication systems. One of the most crucial networking activities that guards against hacking and unintentional consequences on connected devices is packet classification. The router's and other linked devices' sluggish processing speeds are a problem for implementing real-time packet classification. This paper proposes a novel parallel architecture for packet classification in routers. The design that has been suggested uses the parallelism that modern hardware technologies offer to categorize several packets at once to increase throughput, lower energy usage, and drastically lower latency. The suggested design supports multiple data reads by utilizing Dual Port RAM, or DPRAM. They have low latency performance and allow for fast rate packet lookup, making them the preferable choice for stage memory. The DPRAM provides the data to the packet scheduling module. The packets are received concurrently by the two subsequent packet splitter units. The throughput of packet classification increases as a result. In this paper, a parallel packet categorization architecture using FPGA is explored for maximizing throughput and maintain allowable latency while preserving low energy consumption. The classifier has the lowest energy efficiency of 7.2nJ and less latency of 58 ns. Its throughput may reach 668 MPPS (million packets per second).

Abstract

Smart meters (SM) arrangement play an essential role in Smart Grid (SG), serving as advanced energy meters crucial for monitoring and managing energy consumption. This paper provides an in-depth exploration of the significance, functions, and technological aspects of smart meters within the context of the SG. Smart meters acquire data from endusers' load devices, offering a comprehensive measurement of consumers' energy consumption. The obtained information is then communicated to utility companies and system operators, facilitating efficient energy management. The integration of control devices and a number of sensors, supported by a dedicated communication infrastructure, enhances the reliability and functionality of smart meters. The paper summarizes hardware model key facets and functions of smart meters, offering a comprehensive view of their capabilities.

Abstract

In the realm of individual E-business transactions, many people engage in purchasing various items from markets and shopping centers to fulfill their basic needs. Despite the numerous challenges faced by customers, a prevalent issue is the time-consuming process of waiting in line for billing, even when the purchase involves only a couple of items. This traditional method of queuing up, handling cash transactions, and the average time spent on each customer becomes particularly burdensome in crowded grocery stores and shopping malls .Customers, especially those inclined towards embracing new technologies, are eager for innovations that streamline the billing process, reducing waiting times and overall transaction duration. The primary objective is to meet the essential needs of customers and, importantly, alleviate the time spent on the billing process. The proposal is to transition from the conventional waiting-in-line approach to a system where the billing is completed within the shopping trolley itself. This paper introduces a technological solution that facilitates a seamless shopping experience, utilizing Raspberry Pi and other advancements. The proposed system is wellsuited for implementation in general shopping centers such as supermarkets, D-mart, Big Bazaar, and Walmart. The technology aims to significantly reduce time consumption, offering an enhanced shopping experience for customers.

Abstract

Biosensors that incorporate a biological recognition element with a transducer offer a rapid, simple approach for selective detection of analytes. However, conventional rigid biosensors have limited capabilities for continuous on-body monitoring applications. The emergence of flexible electronics has opened new possibilities for developing conformal biosensing platforms that can intimately interface with soft, curvilinear surfaces like skin for non-invasive health tracking. This review covers the fundamentals of biosensor technologies and recent progress in flexible biosensors aimed at pointof- care diagnostics and medical monitoring. Key developments in materials, electrochemical sensing interfaces, microfluidics integration and wireless connectivity are highlighted. Examples of flexible biosensors for metabolites, electrolytes, proteins and nucleic acids are presented along with capabilities and limitations. Current challenges include improving biocompatibility, correlation with standard assays, wireless range, manufacturability, and regulatory requirements. Further research on translating flexible biosensor devices from initial proof-of-concepts to validated medical products is warranted. Overall, flexible biosensors hold immense promise to enable continuous personalized health monitoring.
