Steerable directional antennas are increasingly utilised to improve the overall performance of the traditional wireless sensor networks. Steerable directional antenna based networking solutions increase the network capacity by providing a longer range of transmission and reduced interference as compared to networking solutions with omni-directional antennas. However, the use of smart antennas requires complex algorithms and such algorithms may not be easily leveraged in low power Internet of Things (IoT) networks. This study presents mechanisms for integrating low complexity smart antenna solutions into IETF 6TiSCH protocol with the aim of creating scalable and reliable industrial IoT networks. The solution defines extensions to MAC layer and scheduling mechanisms of IETF 6TiSCH protocol to enable its seamless integration with low complexity steerable smart antennas. The results of this study show that smart antenna enabled 6TiSCH protocol stack outperforms the legacy 6TiSCH stack in terms of data delivery performance especially in high density scenarios.<br>

The networks in future generation uses the confluence of multi-media, broadband, and broadcast services, Cognitive Radio (CR) networks are located as a preferred paradigm to bring up with spectrum functionality traumatic conditions. CRS addresses the ones troubles via dynamic spectrum access. However, the precept traumatic conditions faced through manner of manner of the CR pertain to accomplishing spectrum overall performance. At the end, spectrum overall performance improvement models based on spectrum sensing and sharing models have attracted quite a few research hobby in modern-day years, which incorporates CR mastering models, network densification architectures, and Massive Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO), and beamforming techniques. This paper deals with a survey of modern CR spectrum overall improvement performance models and techniques which helps ultra-high reliability with low latency communications which might be resilient to surges in web page site visitors and competition for spectrum. These models and techniques, mainly speaks about permit a big form of functionality beginning from extra superb mobiliary broadband to large-scale Internet of Things (IoT) type communications. It also provides a research correlation for many of the regular periods of a spectrum block, as well as the realistic statistics rate, the models which are used in this paper are applicable in an ultra-high frequency band. This study provides a super compare of CRs and direction for future investigations into newly identified 5G research areas, such as in business enterprise and academia.

A data Publish/Subscribe method with network coding (DPS-NC) used in delay tolerant network is proposed. Based on the publish/subscribe mechanism, the topic data were encoded and transmit with random network coding method, which can take full advantage of the network capacity to multicast. At the same time, for working out the problem of large data redundancy and vast invalid de-liveries in the network coding broadcast process, a packet routing scheme based on ant colony algorithm was brought. In the end, some simulation experiments are carried out and results show that the DPS-NC method can get better delivery performance.

Regenerative cryocoolers such as Stirling, Gifford–McMahon, and pulse tube cryocoolers possess great merits such as small size, low cost, high reliability, and good cooling capacity. These merits led them to meet many IR and superconducting based application requirements. The regenerator is a vital element in these closed-cycle cryocoolers, but the overall performance depends strongly on the effectiveness of the regenerator. This paper presents a one-dimensional numerical analysis for the idealized thermal equations of the matrix and the working gas inside the regenerator. The algorithm predicts the temperature profiles for the gas during the heating and cooling periods, along with the matrix nodal temperatures. It examines the effect of the regenerator’s length and diameter, the matrix’s geometric parameters, the number of heat transfer units, and the volumetric flow rate, on the performance of an ideal regenerator. This paper proposes a 2D axisymmetric CFD model to evaluate the ideal regenerator model and to validate its findings.

In this paper we explore automation bias in terms of joint decision making between humans and automation. In an experiment, participants made decisions, and indicated the reason for this decision, in a road traffic monitoring task with the aid of automation of varying reliability (i.e., 25% or 81%). Reliability level had a clear impact on the user’s behavior: at low reliability, participants ignored automation suggestion and rely on their own decision making, whereas in the high reliability condition, participants tended to accept the automation suggestion (even if this was incorrect). Overall, performance is higher as a result of the human intervention that would be expected from automation alone, i.e., accuracy is in the region of 87-96% on all conditions. Performance is affected by the order in which the human and automation give their answers and how much detail they are required to provide. We consider these results in terms of a theory of joint decision making. [156 words]

In this paper, a fast multiplication computing method utilizing the complement representation method and canonical recoding technique is proposed. By performing complements and canonical recoding technique, the number of partial products can be reduced. Based on these techniques, we propose algorithm provides an efficient multiplication method. On average, our proposed algorithm to reduce the number of k-bit additions from (0.25k+logk/k+2.5) to (k/6 +logk/k+2.5), where k is the bit-length of the multiplicand A and multiplier B. We can therefore efficiently speed up the overall performance of the multiplication. Moreover, if we use the new proposes to compute common-multiplicand multiplication, the computational complexity can be reduced from (0.5 k+2 logk/k+5) to (k/3+2 logk/k+5) k-bit additions.

Low-Power Wide-Area Networks (LPWANs) have recently emerged as appealing communication systems in the context of the Internet of Things (IoT). Particularly, they proved effective in typical IoT applications such as environmental monitoring and smart metering. Such networks, however, have a great potential also in the industrial scenario and, hence, in the context of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), which represents a dramatically growing field of application. In this paper we focus on a specific LPWAN, namely, LoRaWAN, and provide an assessment of its performance for typical IIoT employments such as those represented by indoor industrial monitoring applications. In detail, after a general description of LoRaWAN, we discuss how to set some of its parameters in order to achieve the best performance in the considered industrial scenario. Subsequently we present the outcomes of a performance assessment, based on realistic simulations, aimed at evaluating the behavior of LoRaWAN for industrial monitoring applications. Moreover, the paper proposes a comparison with the IEEE 802.15.4 network protocol, which is often adopted in similar application contexts. The obtained results confirm that LoRaWAN can be considered as a strongly viable opportunity, since it is able to provide high reliability and timeliness, while ensuring very low energy consumption.
