Hybrid NOMA-based ACO-FBMC/OQAM for next-generation indoor optical wireless communications using LiFi technology
Light fidelity (LiFi) has successfully achieved high data transfer rates, high security, great availability, and low interference. In this paper, we propose a LiFi system consisting of a combination of non-orthogonal multi-access (NOMA), asymmetrically-clipped optical (ACO), and filter bank multicarrier (FBMC) techniques combined with offset quadrature amplitude modulation (OQAM). The paper also applies a μ-law companding approach for a high peak to average power ratio (PAPR) reduction of the FBMC/OQAM scheme. The combination of NOMA, ACO-FBMC/OQAM, and μ-law companding allows a significant
Evaluating the Modsecurity Web Application Firewall against SQL Injection Attacks
SQL injection attacks target databases of web servers. The ability to modify, update, retrieve and delete database contents imposes a high risk on any website in different sectors. In this paper, we investigate the efforts done in the literature to detect and prevent the SQL injection attacks. We also assess the efficiency of the Modsecurity web application firewall in preventing SQL injection attacks. © 2020 IEEE.
Radio optical network simulation tool (ronst)
This paper presents a radio optical network simulation tool (RONST) for modeling optical-wireless systems. For a typical optical and electrical chain environment, performance should be optimized concurrently before system implementation. As a result, simulating such systems turns out to be a multidisciplinary problem. The governing equations are incompatible with co-simulation in the traditional environments of existing software (SW) packages. The ultra-wideband (UWB) technology is an ideal candidate for providing high-speed short-range access for wireless services. The limited wireless reach
Coarse spectrum sensing for LTE systems
Spectrum sensing is one of the most challenging tasks required of a cognitive radio receiver. In this paper, we consider the first stage of spectrum sensing, where it is required to perform the sensing as fast as possible and with an acceptable performance under different channel conditions. The target signal to be sensed is a Long Term Evolution (LTE) signal. We first propose sensing the whole LTE signal bandwidth using the Fast Wavelet Transform (FWT) algorithm and then compare it to the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT)-based algorithm in terms of complexity and performance. A new algorithm is
Intelligent Arabic-Based Healthcare Assistant
Text classification has been one of the most common natural language processing (NLP) objectives in recent years. Compared to other languages, this mission with Arabic is relatively restricted and in its early stages, and this combination in the medical application area is rare. This paper builds an Arabic health care assistant, specifically a pediatrician that supports Arabic dialects, especially Egyptian accents. The proposed application is a chatbot based on Artificial Intelligence (AI) models after experimenting with Two Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT) models
Future of public organizations in the digital transformation era
Introduction and Purpose: Digital transformation has been a “buzz” word over the last few years. Government of Egypt has initiated various ambitious initiatives and projects for transforming the economy into digital economy. Since the outlook of the future organizations would be different from what we know today, therefore, such transformation mandates radical change in the way public leaders manage their organizations, operations and workforce. Consequently, there is a necessity for foreseeing the drivers of change, as well as the technological evolution, which are shaping the future
AiroDiag: A sophisticated tool that diagnoses and updates vehicles software over air
This paper introduces a novel method for diagnosing embedded systems and updating embedded software installed on the electronics control units of vehicles through the Internet using client and server units. It also presents the communication protocols between the vehicle and the manufacturer for instant fault diagnosis and software update while ensuring security for both parties. AiroDiag ensures maximum vehicle efficiency for the driver and provides the manufacturer with up-to-date vehicle performance data, allowing enhanced future software deployment and minimum loss in case of vehicle
Design and Analysis of A Reliable Quadcopter UAV for Wireless Communication Purposes
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are used for a wide range of applications, including wireless communication systems, which have the potential to provide cost-effective wireless connectivity for a wide variety of applications. The present UAV models lack the flexibility needed to carry the mission's varied payloads. As a result, appropriate design and analysis of the UAV structure are essential. This work presents a complete design and analysis of a quadcopter UAV for wireless communications purposes, which is carried out using computer-aided design (CAD) tools and techniques. Several design
Real-Time Fish Detection Approach on Self-Built Dataset Based on YOLOv3
Creating a model to detect freely moving fish underwater in real-time is a challenging process for two main reasons. First, the available datasets suffer from some limitations that severely affect the results of the detection models operating in challenging and blurry environments. These models should be able to capture all of the fish movement given different types of surroundings. Second, choosing the convenient detection model system which matches the desired requirements from having high accuracy with satisfying frames per second (FPS). To overcome the first challenge, a new dataset was
A Preprocessing Approach to Improve the Performance of Inception v3-based Face Shape Classification
Face shape classification is considered one of the trending topics in the artificial intelligence research field. Face shape classification can be employed in many broad-scoped projects, such as hairstyle recommendation systems in the beauty and fashion industry. In this paper, the inception v3 model was employed to reach the highest possible performance for classifying the different face shapes. The model was re-trained after applying a proposed sequence of preprocessing techniques, including image straightening, cropping, resizing, and normalization. The model was re-trained on different
