Reach enhancement of 100% for a DP-64QAM super-channel using MC-DBP

A digital coherent super-receiver enables the reception and demodulation of a 7×10GBd DP-64QAM Nyquist spaced super-channel.Multi-channel DBP provides a 100% improvement in reach from 640km to 1280km of SSMF, with an ISD of 9.15b/s/Hz.

Circuit design perspectives for Ge FinFET at 10nm and beyond

In this paper we study the circuit design implications of Ge vs. Si PMOS FinFETs at the 10 and 7nm nodes, using TCAD calibrated statistical compact models and the ARM predictive benchmarking flow. The ARM predictive flow incorporates advanced-node-relevant layouts, design rules, parasitic RC extraction and wire-loading. We present the first comprehensive simulation study evaluating […]

Downlink interference penalty algorithm for power control, scheduling, and user association

Managing inter-cell interference is one of the main challenges in current and next generation wireless systems that aggressively reuse the frequency. Cooperation between interfering cells has been sought to mitigate interference. In this paper, we address the problem of jointly optimizing the transmit powers, user scheduling, and user association in a cellular network to maximize the weighted […]

Security–A Perpetual War: Lessons from Nature

For ages, people have sought inspiration in nature. Biomimicry has propelled inventions from Velcro tape to “cat’s eyes” retroreflective road markers. At the same time, scientists have been developing biologically inspired techniques, including genetic algorithms and neural and sensor networks. Although a first glance shows no direct connection between the Internet’s offensive and defensive techniques and […]

A Socio-Physical Approach to Systemic Risk Reduction in Emergency Response and Preparedness

This paper proposes a socio-physical approach that considers jointly the interaction and integration of the social and physical views of a system to improve emergency response and preparedness. This is accomplished through a reduction of systemic risk, which refers to a risk that could be greater than the sum of the risks of the individual […]

An enhanced router based queuing policy providing better fairness to real-time data transfers in Internet

Forwarding and delivery in IP based internet is a best effort service. IP being a connectionless forwarding mechanism, it may drop the packets at the time of congestion. This may affect the services in internet as it is not able to deliver the packet with sufficient Quality of service (QOS). The reliability mechanism adopted by […]

Formal validation of QRS wave within ECG

Electrical sensors are used to detect and record the electrical activity of the heart over a period of time, this operation is referred to as Electrocardiography (ECG) in medical science. Hence ECG is composed of a set of signal waves that repeats themselves and are usually useful in medical diagnosis, where certain ECG patterns and […]

d2-LBDR: Distance-driven routing to handle permanent failures in 2D mesh NoCs

With the advent of deep sub-micron technology, fault-tolerant solutions are needed to keep many-core chips operative. In NoCs, Logic Based Distributed Routing (LBDR) proved to be a flexible routing framework for 2D meshes with link and router faults. However, to provide full coverage, LBDR requires a module named FORKS which replicates some messages. This imposes […]

Anti-theft energy metering for smart electrical distribution system

Accurate metering and billing of actual energy consumed by consumers is integral to commercial management of an electric utility. An aggregate technical and commercial loss in India is around 27% and this is very high in spite of various reforms and measures by electricity boards across country. One of the significant components of these losses […]

Group RNTI for Multi-Users Multiplexing Radio Voice Transmission for Enhancing Voice Capacity over LTE in PMR Context

The Multi-users Multiplexing Radio Voice Transmission method [1] is used for reducing the data overhead of Voice over Long Term Evolution (VoLTE) in the Professional Mobile Radio (PMR) context. In the Multi-users Multiplexing Radio Voice Transmission method, voice packets from different users having the same Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS) can be clustered into one […]
