Computer Modeling of Plane Wave Propagation Through Dielectric Sections and Plasmas

Authors: Sasan Ardalan
Comments: 37 Pages.

A technique for modeling plane wave propagation through inhomogeneous media and plasma layers with different electron densities is presented. The technique is based on transmission line theory. Therefore, a general technique is introduced for solving complex transmission line systems. A data structure and algorithm for representing, and simultaneously solving for all nodes within the transmission line network is presented. The method is based on representing the network as a recursive tree structure and solving for the voltage, current, and impedance at each node using recursive programming techniques. First, all frequency dependent parameters within the tree structure are updated, then in a post-order traversing of the tree, the impedance at each node are computed followed by a pre-order traversing of the tree to compute node voltagesand currents. For plane wave propagation, the reflection coefficient, the electric field andmagnetic field are computed. The method is applied to normal incidence but can easily be extended to oblique incidence. A tapered transmission line model was used to verify the algorithm. In addition, an example was provided verifying the ability to compute the frequency response and impulse response of a system with a plasma. Finally, the application of the technique to model the heat tile and the plasma that develops on either aero-assist or spacecraft re-entry is presented.This paper is based on work done at the Center for Communication and Signal Processing (CCSP) at North Carolina State University by the author in 1987. In addition, the paper presents work which was supported by NASA Langley Research Center under Contract NASI-1x925. The author was the Principal Investigator.

Two Stage WiFi 5GHz to 10GHz XBand Communication System

Authors: Sasan Ardalan
Comments: 38 Pages.

The up conversion of a 5GHz WiFi signal to 10.56GHz IF signal enables the transmission of the WiFi signal at XBand frequencies for high throughput digital communications over XBand. The XBand signal can be up converted from the 10.56GHz XBand signal to 60 GHz or 28 GHz bands. It is imperative that the WiFi channel be centered at a specific frequency, for example, 10.56GHz, for optimal performance and to meet ITU an FCC band allocation requirements. In addition, the WiFi channel centered at 10.56GHz must be interference (jammer) free so that the over the air signal is jammer free, a key requirement. The XBand Spectrum is also available for Amateur Extra Class from 10.0GHz to 10.5GHz so the capability to center the frequency is critical. This paper describes the challenges in up converting and down converting WiFi signals at 5GHz to X-Band and offers a unique solution that provides a jammer free spectrum and capability to dial in the center frequency. A complete system was designed, prototyped and built, verifying the design over the air. IEEE802.11ac Access Points were used at 5.21 GHz with a bandwidth of 160 MHz. This work paves the way for high throughput digital communication over XBand links with bandwidths of 80MHz and 160MHz.

Authors: Andrey V. Voron
Comments: 35 Pages.

It is shown that modern number systems (unlike Fibonacci) have a significant disadvantage in the form of zero redundancy of the code. But the redundancy of the Fibonacci code is not constant: the redundancy of the code for individual numbers varies significantly. Based on the Fibonacci number system with Fibonacci codes with unlimited redundancy, a Rule for limiting code redundancy is formulated.

Comments: 6 Pages.

In this paper, a compact coplanar waveguide (CPW)-fed quintuple-band-notched antenna for ultra-wideband(UWB) applications is presented. The voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) results show that the proposed antenna exhibits good wideband performance over an UWB frequency range from 1.4 to 10.7 GHz with VSWR less than 2, except for five stop-bands at 2.1 to 2.6 GHz, 3.3 to 3.75 GHz, 5.15 to 5.85 GHz, 7.2 to 7.6 GHz and 8.15 to 8.52 GHz for filtering the worldwide interoperability for microwave access (WiMAX) systems, wireless local area networks (WLANs), downlink of X-band satellite communication system and ITU band signals, respectively. Good radiation patterns and gain characteristics are obtained in the whole UWB frequency range except the notched frequency bands. The simulation results were compared with the measured results and good agreement is obtained. The proposed antenna provides the simple structure and good characteristics and is suitable for UWB applications.

Geometrical Attack Resistant Watermarking Algorithm Using the Invariability of the Histogram

Authors: Song-Chun Pang, Jong-Pil Sim, Son-Myong Hwang
Comments: 11 Pages.

With the rapid development of the Internet, multimedia communication and authorization become more and more important. In order to avoid geometric distortions in watermark embedding, this paper proposes a geometrical attack resistant image watermarking algorithm based on histogram modification. The watermark information is embedded into the original image by modifying the number of the gray samples of the image histogram. One bit of the watermark is embedded by changing the number of samples of the three adjacent grey levels in the histograms and the same watermark repeatedly embedded into each of the four histograms. Watermark detection is an inverse process of watermark embedding. Watermark information is detected based on the relationship of the number of samples of the three successive gray levels. The experimental results show that our algorithm is robust to both geometrical attacks and those conventional signal processing attacks and achieves high detection rate.

A Low Cost 3-Band Gain Equalizer Using op-Amps for Hearing Aid Applications

Authors: Md Mubdiul Hasan
Comments: 4 Pages.

Hearing loss is a common health issue that affects nearly 10% of the world population reported by international studies. The hearing impaired typically experience more mental disorientation than those with normal hearing levels. It is often difficult to analyze hearing loss that would closely match with prescribed real ear gain/frequency responses due to technological limitations. The conventional device for hearing impairment is an electronic circuit whose main components are transducers (microphone and receiver). This study is focused on the electronic components those are relatively cheap and available in local market. In this paper the conventional active equalizer circuit especially bass, treble, and mid control based equalizer is implemented by op-amp LM741. Overall gain is split between input and output buffers, for bass ±15dB in 100Hz, mid ±9dB for 1kHz and for treble ±15dB in 10kHz. A trimmer-adjusted, lighter, pocket —carry device can be developed in this case.

Which Application Layer Protocol Is Best Suited for Networked Monitoring of Beehives? A Comparison of HTTP And MQTT in IoT

Authors: Jan Langen, Kerstin Sahler, Claus Brell
Comments: 13 Pages.

Today, the Internet of Things (IoT) is here to stay. In addition to various application areas, IoT is useful in the context of beekeeping, especially for digital and networked monitoring of hives. For practical implementation, differ-ent application layer protocols can be chosen. But which protocol is more suitable in the context of beekeeping? HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) or MQTT (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport)? This is one of the questions addressed in the Biene40 project, which focuses on networked sensors. In this paper, we derive the advantages and disadvantages of each protocol based on a literature review and the development of two IoT-based prototypes that communicate via either HTTP or MQTT. Our research show that the message overhead of the MQTT protocol is lower than that of HTTP. However, the connection cost of MQTT is quite high, especially at the beginning of a connection. Therefore, the choice of protocol depends on the specific use case. If only a few messages are transmitted at long intervals, HTTP is more resource efficient. With respect to the developed prototypes and the application context of beehive monitoring, HTTP is the preferred choice.

Undocumented Feature or Potential Vulnerability?

Authors: Evgenii Litvinov
Comments: 7 Pages.

According Wikipedia, an undocumented feature is an unintended or undocumented hardware operation, for example an undocumented instruction, or software feature found in computer hardware and software that is considered beneficial or useful. Sometimes the documentation is omitted through oversight, but undocumented features are sometimes not intended for use by end users, but left available for use by the vendor for software support anddevelopment. Also, some unintended operation of hardware or software that ends up being of utility to users is simply a bug, flaw or quirk [1]. I believe that according to the definition of backdoor [2], and it refers to a special case of undocumented feature, because in both cases this information, which is known and used byvendors for software support and development. Manufacturers of advanced sensors, gate valves, pumps, video cameras and other lowlevel (abbreviated as LL) automation products offer "smart" versions of their products. All ofthese "smart" solutions involve variability, programmability and versatility in terms of productapplication, as well as cost and commissioning time reduction. Given that product variability, programmability and versatility are often achieved through the use of programmable elements, this imposes a great deal of responsibility on product manufacturers and requires vigilance on the part of consumers. This article will not discuss individual household products in the form of smart homes, smart TVs, the Internet of Things, etc., but anyone who reads the material outlined can imagine how unpredictable any item in their home can be if the manufacturer has not shown sufficient responsibility.

Subsurface Canal Seepage Detection Using Risat-1 Sar Data in Parts of Hanumangarh District, Rajasthan

Authors: Ram Lal Mehta, Touseef Ahmad, Arundhati Misra
Comments: 10 Pages. 38th Asian Conference on Remote Sensing (ACRS 2017)

Indira Gandhi Canal Project has enhanced considerable food production in the desert area of Rajasthan, it also brought problems such as waterlogging and secondary salinisation. Impounding of Ghaggar flood water in natural depression is the main cause of seepage. Villages are located at a lower altitude than the level of water stored in depressions, which creates a steep gradient and sand dunes being pervious, causing heavy seepage. The steady rise of the water table causes waterlogging conditions in surrounding areas. The unlined canals from the saddle dams and continuous application of surface irrigation at higher frequencies have further added to the problem. One of the significant advantages of SAR is penetration through dry soil and detecting subsurface geological and fluvial features. This paper presents the results of identifying subsurface canal seepage in the sand dune area of Hanumangarh district, Rajasthan using multi-date MRS RISAT-1 SAR data. Signatures of high subsurface soil moisture accumulated in the depressions below the sand dunes and along the canal was analysed and identified as seepage areas. Landsat-8 images and field soil moisture data were used as complementary information to find the surface and subsurface soil moisture, crop and vegetation condition of the area. Subsurface moisture was identified with higher sensitivity in the cross polarizations (HV) images due to high volume scattering caused by the buried moisture-bearing structures. The cross-polarization ratio (CPR) observed was higher in the case of subsurface soil moisture than surface moisture signature. Significant depletion in soil moisture of seepage areas was observed in the images acquired during the month of June 2015.

A Novel 1D State Space for Efficient Music Rhythmic Analysis

Authors: Mojtaba Heydari, Matthew McCallum, Andreas Ehmann, Zhiyao Duan
Comments: 5 Pages. 2022 IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech and Signal Processing

Inferring music time structures has a broad range of applications in music production, processing and analysis. Scholars have proposed various methods toanalyze different aspects of time structures, such as beat, downbeat, tempo and meter.Many state-of-the-art (SOFA) methods, however, are computationally expensive. This makes them inapplicable in real-world industrial settings where the scale of the music collections can be millions. This paper proposes a new state space and a semi-Markov model for music time structure analysis. The proposed approach turns the commonly used 2D state spaces into a 1D model through a jump-back reward strategy. It reduces the state spaces size drastically. We then utilize the proposed method for causal, joint beat, downbeat, tempo, and meter tracking, and compare it against several previous methods. The proposed method delivers similar performance with the SOFA joint causal models with a much smaller state space and a more than 30 times speedup.

Ġasaq: Provably Secure Key Derivation

Authors: M. Rajululkahf
Comments: 6 Pages.

This paper proposes Ġasaq; a provably secure key derivation method that, when given access to a true random number generator (TRNG), allows communicating parties, that have a pre-shared secret password p, to agree on a secret key k that is indistinguishable from truly random numbers with a guaranteed entropy of min(H(p), |k|). Ġasaq's security guarantees hold even in a post-quantum world under Grover's algorithm, or even if it turns out that P = NP. Such strong security guarantees, that are similar to those of the one time pad (OTP), became attractive after the introduction of Băhēm; a similarly provably secure symmetric cipher that is strong enough to shift cipher's security bottleneck to the key derivation function. State of art key derivation functions such as the PBKDF, or even memory-hard variants such as Argon2, are not provably secure, but rather not fully broken yet. They do not guarantee against needlessly losing password entropies; that is, the output key could have an entropy lower than password's entropy, even if such entropy is less than key's bit length. In addition to assuming that P != NP, and, even then, getting their key space square-rooted under Grover's algorithm---none of which are limitations of Ġasaq. Using such key derivation functions, as the PBKDF or Argon2, is acceptable with conventional ciphers, such as ChaCha20 or AES, as they, too, suffer the same limitations, hence none of them are bottlenecks for the other. Similarly to how a glass door is not a security bottleneck for a glass house. However, a question is: why would a people secure their belongings in a glass made structure, to justify a glass door, when they can use a re-enforced steel structure at a similar cost? This is where Ġasaq comes to offer Băhēm the re-enforced steel door that matches its security.

Clock Synchronization in Distributed Systems

Authors: Amey Thakur, Mega Satish
Comments: 6 Pages, 7 figures, Volume 9, Issue III, International Research Journal of Engineering and Technology (IRJET), 2022.

Clock discrepancies are troublesome in distributed systems and pose major difficulties. To avoid mistakes, the clocks of separate CPUs must be synced. This is to ensure that communication and resource sharing are as efficient as possible. As a result, the clocks must be constantly monitored and adjusted. Otherwise, the clocks drift apart. Clock skew causes a disparity in the time values of two clocks. Both of these issues must be solved in order to make effective use of distributed system characteristics. In this study, we briefly explored the features of distributed systems and its algorithms.

Băhēm: A Provably Secure Symmetric Cipher

Authors: M. Rajululkahf
Comments: 4 Pages.

This paper proposes Băhēm; a symmetric cipher that, when used with a pre-shared secret key k, no cryptanalysis can degrade its security below H(k) bits of entropy, even under Grover's algorithm or even if it turned out that P = NP. Băhēm's security is very similar to that of the one-time pad (OTP), except that it does not require the communicating parties the inconvenient constraint of generating a large random pad in advance of their communication. Instead, Băhēm allows the parties to agree on a small pre-shared secret key, such as |k| = 128 bits, and then generate their random pads in the future as they go. For any operation, be it encryption or decryption, Băhēm performs only 4 exclusive-or operations (XORs) per cleartext bit including its 2 overhead bits. If it takes a CPU 1 cycle to perform an XOR between a pair of 64 bit variables, then a Băhēm operation takes 4 / 8 = 0.5 cycles per byte. Further, all Băhēm's operations are independent, therefore a system with n many CPU cores can perform 0.5 / n cpu cycles per byte per wall-clock time. While Băhēm has an overhead of 2 extra bits per every encrypted cleartext bit, its early single-threaded prototype implementation achieves a faster /decryption/ than OpenSSL's ChaCha20's, despite the fact that Băhēm's ciphertext is 3 times larger than ChaCha20's. This support that the 2 bit overhead is practically negligible for most applications. Băhēm's early prototype has a slower /encryption/ time than OpenSSL's ChaCha20 due to its use of a true random number generator (TRNG). However, this can be trivially optimised by gathering the true random bits in advance, so Băhēm gets the entropy conveniently when it runs. Aside from Băhēm's usage as a provably-secure general-purpose symmetric cipher, it can also be used, in some applications such as password verification, to enhance existing hashing functions to become provably one-way, by using Băhēm to encrypt a predefined string using the hash as the key. A password is then verified if its hash decrypts the Băhēm ciphertext to retrieve the predefined string.

Techniques De Réduction Du PAPR (PAPR Reduction Techniques)

Authors: Wendyida Kabore Kabore
Comments: 73 Pages. [Corrections made by viXra Admin to conform with the requirements on the Submission Form]

Power amplification efficiency enhancement is a critical issue for wireless communication applications. The amplification of signals that have a high dynamic range consumes a lot of energy. Amplifying signals with a constant envelope is a possible solution to get a maximum performance of the amplifier. However, the signals that are currently available in several systems, are multi-carrier signals which are very attractive but have a high PAPR in principle. During this internship, we studied a multi-carrier waveform (to enjoy all the benefits inherent in it) with a low PAPR. This is about to use PAPR reduction techniques like "adding signal" methods, coupled with a new definition of the multicarrier signal. The clipping for example, has been modeled as an adding signal technique, but the addition of the clipping signal occurs on certain free subcarriers that are not used to transmit data. Not all the clipping signal frequencies are used. The major problem is that the subcarriers on which the clipping signal can be added are reduced in number. So to add the clipping signal more efficiently we need to have more frequency space. The key idea here is to perform the duobinary coding in each of the OFDM subcarriers. The duobinary coding reduces the spectral occupancy by half. Thus, we can use the vacant spectrum to add the clipping signal orthogonaly to the data signal. Then comes the study of the performances of this new waveform in terms of gain in PAPR, complexity (receiving process) and ACPR. This study confirm the efficiency of the proposed technique.

A Blind Source Separation Technique for Document Restoration Based on Edge Estimation

Authors: Antonio Boccuto, Ivan Gerace, Valentina Giorgetti, Gabriele Valenti
Comments: 86 Pages.

In this paper we study a Blind Source Separation (BSS) problem, and in particular we deal with document restoration. We consider the classical linear model. To this aim, we analyze the derivatives of the images instead of the intensity levels. Thus, we can establish a non-overlapping constraints on document sources. Moreover, we impose that the rows of the mixture matrices of the sources have sum equal to 1, in order to keep equal the lightnesses of the estimated sources and of the data. Here we give a technique which uses the symmetric factorization, whose goodness is tested by the experimental results.

Blind Source Separation in Document Restoration: an Interference Level Estimation

Authors: Antonio Boccuto, Ivan Gerace, Valentina Giorgetti
Comments: 21 Pages.

We deal with the problem of blind separation of the components, in particular for documents corrupted by bleed-through and show-through. So, we analyze a regularization technique, which estimates the original sources, the interference levels and the blur operators. We treat the estimate of the interference levels, given the original sources and the blur operators. In particular, we investigate several GNC-type algorithms for minimizing the energy function. In the experimental results, we find which algorithm gives more precise estimates of the interference levels.

Tokenize the Food : A Permissionless NFT Information System

Authors: Jules Repusseau
Comments: 12 Pages. [Corrections made by viXra Admin]

Collecting and utilizing food data across the life cycle is difficult and expensive because of their movement across the multiple stakeholders on the agrifood supply chain. Interestingly, product centric approaches that present effective solutions to analyze product lifecycle have been problematic to deploy across multiple industries. Blockchain has been adopted in the food system and traceability and brings many advantages for provenance, compliance, authenticity and quality. However most of the applications are permissioned and mostly at the benefits of a private owner or consortium. Accumulated data therefore cannot be reused by all stakeholders and no common data model can be built. This lack of cooperation has an impact on farmers, where data governance can be a direct source of income and social benefits, and an impact on researchers that cannot reuse and improve food security models, study sustainability or carbon emission without relying on private companies. Food security is a public good and our proposal introduces a permissionless food product centered approach based on NFT to protect public information and farmers stability.

Foundations for Strip Adjustment of Airborne Laserscanning Data with Conformal Geometric Algebra

Authors: Eckhard Hitzer, Werner Benger, Manfred Niederwieser, Ramona Baran, Frank Steinbacher
Comments: 34 Pages. Accepted for publication in Advances in Applied Clifford Algebras, Oct. 2021, 1 table, 1 figure.

Typically, airborne laserscanning includes a laser mounted on an airplane or drone (its pulsed beam direction can scan in flight direction and perpendicular to it) an intertial positioning system of gyroscopes, and a global navigation satellite system. The data, relative orientation and relative distance of these three systems are combined in computing strips of ground surface point locations in an earth fixed coordinate system. Finally, all laserscanning strips are combined via iterative closes point methods to an interactive three-dimensional terrain map. In this work we describe the mathematical framework for how to use the iterative closest point method for the adjustment of the airborne laserscanning data strips in the framework of conformal geometric algebra.

Authors: Mahmoud Amin, Noha Mohamed
Comments: 13 Pages.

Human motion recognition is an important topic in computer vision as well as security. It is used in scientific research, surveillance cameras industry and robotics technology as well. The human interaction with the objects creates a complex stance. Multiple artefacts such as clutter, occlusions, and backdrop diversity contribute to the complexity of this technology. Wi-Fi signals with the usage of their features could help solve some of these issues, with the help of other wearable sensors, such as: RGB-D camera, IR sensor (thermal camera), inertial sensor etc. This paper reviews various approaches for Wi-Fi human motion recognition systems, their analytical methodologies, challenges and proposed techniques along with the aspects to this paper: (a) applications; (b) single and multi-modality sensing; (c) Wi-Fi-based techniques; d) challenges and future works. More research related to Wi-Fi human related activity recognition can be encouraged and improved.

Gravitational Quantum Bit

Authors: Fran De Aquino
Comments: 3 Pages.

The Quantum Computers use qubits (or qbits), the quanta bits, which can assume values 0 or 1, or a superposition of both. In this work, we propose a new type of quantum bit, the Gravitational Quantum Bit or Gqbit, which can be used as an information unit. The concept of the Gqbit is based on the theory of the Gravitational Electromotive Force (Gemf) [1], which shows that, when an electron absorbs a quantum of energy sufficient strong, the gravitational force acting upon it (its weight) changes of direction. The weight of the electron can assume two fundamental statuses. For up, (gravitational force in opposite direction to the gravity g )and, for down (gravitational force in the same direction of g ). Conventionally, we can then assume that for up, the weight of the electron represents the number 0, and that for down, it represents the number 1, similarly to the spin of the electron, which can be interpreted as if the electron rotates in one direction or the other - in this case, rotation in one direction would represent 0 and, in the other, it would represent 1.

Area Efficient Decoder and Simulation Study Using Quantum Dot Cellular Automata

Authors: Aarthi Nadarajan
Comments: 3 Pages.

The progress and dominance of the microelectronics industry has been based on scaling and maintaining functionality at ever smaller scales. The resulting changes in size and package density have limitations due to the physical laws that govern the transistor paradigm. Quantum dot cellular automata (QCA) offer a solution to accomplish device functionalities at nanometer scales. This paper details QCA implementation with simulation results which intuitively prove they are much smaller than the same circuits in standard CMOS technology. The proposed area efficient decoder in this paper is optimal in terms of usage of number of quantum dot cells with a simpler clocking scheme and good performance. The field of quantum dots is relatively at its infancy with significant opportunities for future growth and real time implementations.

Authors: Guo Rui, Jia Li, Hao Hongxiang, Mo Hanlin, Li Hua
Comments: 13 Pages. [Corrections are made by viXra Admin to comply with the rules of viXra.org]

How to recognize the target from blurred image is one of the fundamental problems in computer vision and pattern recognition. Image blurring caused by abnormal energy accumulation during exposure time because of relative rotational motion between imaging system and objects. Our work is different from most of others which need “deblurring”. We try to find the invariant features between original image and blurred image based on the mathematical model of blurring and the theory of moment invariants, instead of restoring the blurred image. Method In this study, based on degraded model of rotation motion blur and Gaussian Hermit moment, we demonstrated how the rotation motion blur Gaussian Hermit moment been built and proved the existing of low-rank rotation motion blur Gaussian Hermit moment invariants. Correspondingly, rotational motion blur invariants based on Gaussian Hermit moment is built. We filtrated 5 Gaussian Hermit moment invariants from exiting rotation geometry moment invariants which had been extended to Gaussian Hermit moment invariants to construct a highly stable 5-dimensional feature vector and named it RMB_GHMI-5, and we verified that RMB_GHMI-5 had great properties of invariability and distinguishability through experiments. Finally, we introduced RMB_GHMI-5 to the field of image retrieval. Result In invariance experiment, We validate the properties of invariance of the proposed feature vector on the dataset USC-SIPI. Tow set of 18 composite blurred image and been made to test RMB_GHMI-5. The result shows the feature distance between original image and composited blurred image are extremely tiny which means RMB_GHMI-5 has great properties of invariance. In addition to the image retrieval experiments, we introduce two image database including Flavia and Butterfly for original image. Composited image which are blurred by different degree of rotation、rotational motion and Gaussian noise or Salt-pepper noise have been used to validate the invariability and distinguishability of RMB_GHMI-5. Compared with 4 state-of-the-art saliency approaches, for leaf image degraded by rotation, rotational motion and Gaussian noise, at 80% recall rate, the recognition accuracy of RMB_GHMI-5 is 25.89% higher than others. For leaf image degraded by rotation, rotational motion and Salt-pepper noise, the recognition accuracy of RMB_GHMI-5 is 39.95% higher than others. For butterfly image degraded by rotation, rotational motion and Gaussian noise, at 80% recall rate, the recognition accuracy of RMB_GHMI-5 is 7.18% higher than others. For leaf image degraded by rotation, rotational motion and Salt-pepper noise, the recognition accuracy of RMB_GHMI-5 is 3.04% higher than others. Conclusion In this study, we proposed a highly stable 5-dimensional feature vector RMB_GHMI-5, and we verified that RMB_GHMI-5 had great properties of invariability and distinguishability through experiments. The experiment results show that RMB_GHMI-5 outperforms several state-of-the-art saliency approaches and has stronger practical application value.

Age of Information in an URLLC-enabled Decode-and-Forward Wireless Communication System

Authors: Chathuranga M. Wijerathna Basnayaka, Dushantha Nalin K. Jayakody, Tharindu D. Ponnimbaduge Perera
Comments: 6 Pages.

Age of Information (AoI) measures the freshness of data in mission critical Internet-of-Things (IoT) applications i.e., industrial internet, intelligent transportation systems etc. In this paper, a new system model is proposed to estimate the average AoI (AAoI) in an ultra-reliable low latency communication (URLLC) enabled wireless communication system with decodeand-forward relay scheme over the quasi-static Rayleigh block fading channels. Short packet communication scheme is used to meet both reliability and latency requirements of the proposed wireless network. By resorting finite block length information theory, queuing theory and stochastic processes, a closed-form expression for AAoI is obtained. Finally, the impact of the system parameters, such as update generation rate, block length and block length allocation factor on the AAoI are investigated. All results are validated by the numerical results.

IPTV Improvement Approach over LTE-WLAN Heterogeneous Networks

Authors: Mohamed Matoui, Noureddine Moumkine, Abdellah Adib
Comments: 19 Pages. [Corrections are made by viXra Admin to comply with the rules of viXra.org]

IPTV (Internet Protocol Television) includes several video components. The IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem) cannot differentiate between them what causes their treatment similarly. These sub-components must have different priorities because they have distinct QoS constraints. In this paper, we suggest the implementation of IPTV in a heterogeneous network that improved QoS by providing the capability to prioritize the sub traffic according to the system administrator policy. A new IPv6 flow label field definition was proposed that is ready for standardization. OPNET Modeler software is used to design our approached architecture. The results show that IPTV users receive different amounts of video data based on the stream's priority.

Hridai: a Tale of Two Categories of Ecgs

Authors: Priya Ranjan, Kumar Dron Shrivastav, Satya Vadlamani, Rajiv Janardhanan
Comments: 21 Pages. Proc. SIRS-2020.

This work presents a geometric study of computational disease tagging of ECGs problems. Using ideas like Earthmover’s distance (EMD) and Euclidean distance, it clusters category 1 and category −1 ECGs in two clusters, computes their average and then predicts the category of 100 test ECGs, if they belong to category 1 or category −1. We report 80% success rate using Euclidean distance at the cost of intense computation investment and 69% success using EMD. We suggest further ways to augment and enhance this automated classification scheme using bio-markers like Troponin isoforms, CKMB, BNP. Future direc- tions include study of larger sets of ECGs from diverse populations and collected from a heterogeneous mix of patients with different CVD conditions. Further we advocate the robustness of this programmatic approach as compared to deep learning kind of schemes which are amenable to dynamic instabilities. This work is a part of our ongoing framework Heart Regulated Intelligent Decision Assisted Information (HRIDAI) system.

An Injection Locked Synchronous Oscillator is a narrowband digital filter that tracks its frequency to a variable frequency signal. This allows the detection of weak signals of variable frequency despite a strong noise background. The signal is processed in the time domain with negligible phase shift. The calculation effort is much lower than with comparable filter types.

By the dusk of the 21st century, both developed & developing countries will witness a tremendous rise in automobile sales. Everybody will want to travel as fast as possible and reduce traffic waiting time. The objective of this research is to provide efficient algorithms and sound scientific principles for accurate traffic density estimations even in the busiest traffic hours. The methodologies discussed in this paper include the use of Infrared, Ultrasonic, Pressure & Piezoelectric sensors, and also Inductive loop detectors. These methodologies are further used to control real-time traffic lighting systems based on threshold-based decision algorithms. Further, Digital Image Processing techniques are analyzed which involve camera installation for congestion assessment and traffic control. Therefore, proper application of these methodologies will lead to early traffic detection with immediate disaster preventive measures that will ensure better passage for vehicles.

W-OTS# - Shorter and Faster Winternitz Signatures

Authors: Herman Schoenfeld
Comments: 3 Pages.

A very simple modification to the standard W-OTS scheme is presented called W-OTS# that achieves a security enhancement similar to W-OTS+ but without the overhead of hashing a randomization vector in every round of the chaining function. The idea proffered by W-OTS# is to simply thwart Birthday-attacks altogether by signing an HMAC of the message-digest (keyed with cryptographically random salt) rather than the message-digest itself. The signer thwarts a birthday attack by virtue of requiring that the attacker guess the salt bits in addition to the message-digest bits during the collision scanning process. By choosing a salt length matching the message-digest length, the security of W-OTS# reduces to that of the cryptographic hash function. This essentially doubles the security level of W-OTS and facilitates the use of shorter hash functions which provide shorter and faster signatures for same security. For example, W-OTS# 128-bit signatures have commensurate security to standard W-OTS 256-bit signatures yet are roughly half the size and twice as fast. It is proposed that Blake2b-128 and Winternitz parameter w=4 (i.e. base-16 digits) be adopted as the default parameter set for the W-OTS# scheme.

Arbitrarily Accurate Classification Applied to Specific Emitter Identification

Authors: Michael C. Kleder
Comments: 7 Pages. Minor update

This article introduces a method of evaluating subsamples until any prescribed level of classification accuracy is attained, thus obtaining arbitrary accuracy. A logarithmic reduction in error rate is obtained with a linear increase in sample count. The technique is applied to specific emitter identification on a published dataset of physically recorded over-the-air signals from 16 ostensibly identical high-performance radios. The technique uses a multi-channel deep learning convolutional neural network acting on the bispectra of I/Q signal subsamples each consisting of 56 parts per million (ppm) of the original signal duration. High levels of accuracy are obtained with minimal computation time: in this application, each addition of eight samples decreases error by one order of magnitude.

FC1: A Powerful, Non-Deterministic, Symmetric Key Cipher

Authors: Michele Fabbrini
Comments: 25 Pages.

In this paper we describe a symmetric key algorithm that offers an unprecedented grade of confidentiality. Based on the uniqueness of the modular multiplicative inverse of a positive integer a modulo n and on its computability in a polynomial time, this non-deterministic cipher can easily and quickly handle keys of millions or billions of bits that an attacker does not even know the length of. The algorithm’s primary key is the modulo, while the ciphertext is given by the concatenation of the modular inverse of blocks of plaintext whose length is randomly chosen within a predetermined range. In addition to the full specification, we present a working implementation of it in Julia Programming Language, accompanied by real examples of encryption and decryption.
