A NEW MOBILE RF DRIVE TEST APPLICATION
Authors: Darix SAMANI SIEWE 
Published: September 2023

<p>To enhance the quality of service (QoS) provided to users, network operators are compelled to continually refine their network infrastructure through the iterative process of drive testing. Drive testing is a method used to measure and assess the coverage, capacity, and QoS in a mobile radio network. However, the conventional paradigm governing drive testing, which entails the deployment of either radio frequency equipment or software solutions such as TEMS Investigation accompanied by GPS and an MS (Mobile Station), is marred by inherent limitations that hinder precision in data collection spatiality and necessitate a cumbersome use of multiple tools. In our work, we embark on a novel trajectory, anchoring our non-invasive drive test methodology on the potency of a wearable device such as smart phones. Inspired by this, we design an Android-based drive test platform that stands as a fulcrum of innovation. This platform consists primarily of a mobile application that acts as a measuring instrument, and an API to relay the data collected by the mobile application. This Android-based approach provides operators with heightened precision in both location determination and parameter measurements. Moreover, it streamlines service provisioning, eliminating the need for a range of complex tools, and instead offering a simple application-based solution. By adopting our mobile application, the drive testing process becomes adaptable to a variety of scenarios, including roads with high traffic density or narrow pathways. Our methodology signifies a significant step forward in improving resources-efficient drive testing process for operators.</p>

Published: September 2023

<p>Media-based modulation (MBM) is a novel technique for embedding information in the channel states via intentional perturbations of the transmission media. This article provides an overview of MBM and its benefits while highlighting relevant challenges and future research directions. We explain how MBM differs from source-based modulation and how it addresses issues in legacy multiple-input multipleoutput (MIMO) systems, such as deep fades and MIMO diversity-multiplexing trade-off. We demonstrate how MBM works in harmony with other index modulations and improves upon them by providing similar advantages with a more compact transmitter. Numerical results (simulation and analytical) support these claims and include outage comparison with legacy MIMO systems, comparisons with other state-of-the-art modulation schemes, and a performance example showcasing transmitting 32 bits of information in a single channel use with an excellent symbol error rate of SER ~ 1e-5 at “energy per bit to noise power spectral density ratio” of Eb=N0 ~ 3:5 dB. The article continues with methods to address the issues of receiver training and decoding for large constellation sets. A number of other research questions, such as pulse shaping to limit bandwidth expansion due to the time-varying nature of MBM and the effect of forward error correcting codes on MBM diversity order are discussed. We present an RF transceiver structure that generates independent propagation paths for embedding information. Fabrication and testing of the transceiver structure show close agreement between simulation and measurement. There are inherent connections between MBM and intelligent reflecting surface (IRS). These connections, including the application of MBM in beamforming, are discussed.</p>
<p>We present a solution that involves the integration of a filtering radiating patch within the MBM walls to restrict bandwidth expansion. Lastly, we delve into several specific application domains for MBM.</p>

Published: September 2023

<p>Data augmentation represents an opportunity for Artificial Intelligence applications, as it aims at creating new synthetic data based on an existing baseline. In this paper, we present a new evaluation framework for Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), a data augmentation technique, in multivariate data classification contexts. The goal is not limited to assess the performance variations obtained through GANs, but also to inspect results with explainable AI (XAI) tools, understanding how GANs work and, finally, exploiting them to discover new knowledge. To this aim, we adopt the Logic Learning Machine for performance assessment and rule extraction, and introduce a new measure of rule similarity to compare different artificial datasets. We apply the methodology on two case studies, activity recognition and physical fatigue detection, confirming that GANs can help in overcoming limitations of original datasets and lead to new discoveries. </p>

Published: September 2023

<p>Elliptic curve scalar multiplication (ECSM) stands as a crucial sub-block in elliptic curve cryptography, which represents the most widely-used pre-quantum public key cryptography. Hardware constructions of cryptographic systems utilizing ECSM have been subject to permanent or transient errors. In cryptographic systems, it is important to validate the correctness of the underlying computation performed on hardware or software to identify such errors. In this paper, we present new fault detection schemes in window method scalar multiplication, which, to the best of our knowledge, has not been previously investigated. Our approach involves introducing refined algorithms and implementations that can effectively counter both permanent and transient errors. We assess this by simulating a fault model, ensuring that the evaluations conducted reflect the obtained results. As a result, we achieve a significantly extensive coverage of errors. Lastly, we benchmark our proposed error detection scheme on ARMv8 and FPGA to demonstrate the implementation and resource overhead. On Cortex-A72 processors, we maintain a clock cycle overhead of under 3%. Additionally, when implementing our error detection method on different FPGAs including Zynq Ultrascale+, Artix-7, and Kintex Ultrascale+, we achieve comparable throughput while introducing a mere 2% increase in area compared to the original hardware implementations. </p>

Geospatial mapping of ecoraces of tasar silkworm (Antheraea mylitta Drury) using remote sensing and geographic information system techniques
Authors: Ray Priti Pragyan , Barala Barsha 
Published: September 2023

Tropical Tasar silkworm Antheraea mylitta Drury (Family: Saturniidae) produces Tasar silk which has very high demand globally and because of their wide range of distribution in tropical regions, they have adapted to different niches forming different ecoraces. In Odisha, alone seven types of ecoraces of A. mylitta have been reported, namely Modal, Sukinda, Nalia, Jata-Daba, Adaba, Umerkote, and Boudh. These ecoraces show differences in their phenotypes, genetic constitution, fecundity, voltinism, etc. In the past few decades, there is the substantial deterioration of habitats due to many anthropogenic activities. This has resulted in a large decline in wild Tasar cocoon production. Lepidopterans are accepted as ecological indicators of ecosystem health and it is apprehended that through anthropogenic and climatic factors this precious genetic resource, which took millions of years to evolve, may face the threat of extinction shortly if adequate conservation measures are not taken. This paper attempts the geospatial mapping of these ecoraces in the state of Odisha through RS and GIS tools, which will provide a greater scenario for their conservation

Present experiment was implemented under the Department of Vegetable and Spice Crops, Uttar Banga Krishi Viswavidyalaya, Coochbehar which situated at terai region of West Bengal during the autumn-winter season of 2019-20 and 2020-21 on 28 highly diversified brinjal genotypes on ten highly important yield and yield attributing traits to assess the extent of involvement of different genetic phenomena in manifestation of important yield related traits and to understand the inter relationship among them to design better selection criteria. Result revealed that there was close proximity in the magnitude among the component of coefficient of variation and these component exhibited high estimates coupled with high heritability for almost all the characters excepting days to first flowers and days to fruit maturity indicated less interference of the environmental factors in the manifestation of these traits. High magnitude of heritability coupled with genetic advance of mean for those character suggested possibility for selecting these characters based on phenotypic performance for further improvement at desired direction. Residual effect from path analysis was 0.1367 at genotypic level which suggested that contribution of the traits under study was approximately 86.5% on yield, argued for appropriate selection of traits for success of present experimental study. From character associationship and path coefficient it was found that expected yield was highly correlated in positive direction with average fruits per plant (0.68 and 0.801), average fruit weight (0.48 and 0.565), numbers of primary branches per plant (0.51 and 0.113); hence, these yield attributing traits were significantly positively related with each other which suggested that simultaneous selective breeding strategy considering these characters for improvement of yield could be rewarding due to their probable conditioning by additive gene action.
