This paper describes an automated attendance management system that can be employed at professional gatherings of different types (conferences, exhibitions, training courses, etc.) and scales (from small-to-medium seminars and workshops to large congresses and technical shows). The system is based on application of RFID, mobile communication and IT technologies. It is capable of collecting, recording...
The Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) has been working on developing specifications on Machine Type Communications (MTC), also known as Machine to Machine Communications (M2M), which is all part of Internet of Things (IoT), a technology that enables machines and devices to be inter-connected via the internet. This paper presents recent M2M/IoT feature enhancements in 3GPP. These features...
The AIS is one among the standards of radio communication system to be approved in the whole of the maritime environment. The adoption of AIS technology as a radio data maritime network that hopes for the rise of added values to the services of maritime industry allowing not only the safety of the ships and the environmental protection, but also improving the organization of the ports and the operations...
Nowadays, the actual problem of development and usage of mobile communication devices is to solve problems of optimization of structures and characteristics of antennas of mobile terminals. One of the key criteria for evaluating the operation of the mobile terminal, operating near a human, the accepted value is SAR - Specific Absorption Rate. The purpose of this work is to study the dependence of...
Mobile Network Operators provide wireless communication services to their customers using their own network infrastructures. For providers, in particular in low income countries, access to latest network functions to offer 4G/5G services can be a large burden as this is directly impacted by financial restrictions of operators. Although some network sharing solutions between operators to reduce the...
Heterogeneous wireless networks (HetNets) provide a means to increase network capacity by introducing small cells and adopting a layered architecture. HetNets can allocate resources flexibly through time sharing, on-off scheduling and cell range expansion/contraction. As shown in [1] such networks are constrained to a capacity limit in terms of the maximum number of downloads per second which can...
This paper presents some arguments in favour of further research in video compression because of scarce spectrum resources for mobile applications and the lack of powerful tools for scalable coding. Finally some ideas and results for metadata based compression, improved prediction and scalable schemes are presented.
The design of a pulse shaping filter which provides maximal robustness to an unknown frequency-selective channel is formulated as a convex optimization problem from which an optimal filter can be efficiently obtained. Robustness is measured by the worst-case mean square error of the data estimate over a class of deterministically bounded channels, and the optimization is subject to a constraint on...
The number of cellular phones sold annually exceeds that of PC's and cars together. The shift to second-generation digital cellular standards has made cellular phones the major application for digital signal processing. In the next few years the 3rd generation cellular standards will be taken in use. This will call for sophisticated DSP algorithms for the radio channel processing implemented in very...
Crime in technology resource constrained environments has been shown to adversely affect economic growth by deterring investment and triggering emigration. To address this secure reporting channels are being investigated to encouraging anonymous crime reporting. In this paper, we present a system (Cry Help App) developed to enable residents of a university community situated in technology resource...
We developed Therapeutic Lifestyle Change Decision Aid (TLC DA) system to support an informed choice about which behavior change to work on when multiple unhealthy behaviors are present. The system collects significant amount of information which is used to generate tailored messages to consumers in order to persuade them in following certain healthy lifestyles. One of the current limitations of the...
All major mobile communication architectures are mainly centralized. When the mobile devices are switched on it will search for nearby base station or access point. The content being searched is mostly stored in a centralized directory manner. Peer-to-Peer platform can be one of the best possibilities to overcome the restrictions and resolve issues incurred due to centralization. Mobile environment...
Mobile network operators' role as keystone players in the smartphone ecosystem is challenged by other actors and technologies that aim to reduce the importance of the Universal Integrated Circuit Card (also known as SIM card). Modern Universal Integrated Circuit Cards are Java Cards that also include a Global Platform conformant Secure Element, usually under the mobile operator’s control. We argue...
Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) is considered to be an emerging Health Level 7 (HL7) standard that takes advantage of the positive elements of its ancestors HL7 v2 and HL7 v3. Moreover, FHIR is based on the REST architectural style, thus being suitable for lightweight devices. This paper presents the AidIT mobile application aiming at the effective management of patients' electronic...
Currently, several traditional IT systems exist for supporting workflows of medical imaging departments. However, there is the recognized need for the next step; an integrated and low cost open architecture platform which can manage various kinds of healthcare workflows. The implementation of such solutions can be achieved by intelligent integration of existing systems, the use of web technologies,...
As mobiles become a ubiquitous, they are used more and more for operations that may involve sensitive data or huge amounts of money. The mobile is also increasingly being used as the tool of preference for browsing and using the Internet. Hence, new security measures must be developed to support increased functionality of these devices, to protect users in the case of any mishap. Authentication using...
In this paper we propose a novel searchable P2P content storage for storing mobile apps. In the growing need of storing and distributing huge number mobile apps across large number of users, it has been deemed necessary to think of a storage that leverages enormous amount of content space that common people can share these days. In our proposal, we leverage popular P2P stores, such as standard DHTs,...
A system is proposed that uses content-centric networking to deliver content to mobile users. It uses sensor data obtained from the device they are using to identify their means of transport. The content is then delivered in a manner that best matches that means. The means of transport is identified using a combination of features: average magnetic quantity, average value and standard deviation of...
This demonstration presents a new and innovative open platform whose goal is to enable secure mobile applications. Secure Elements (SE) are hosted in dedicated servers, whose protocol (RACS) is detailed by an IETF draft. They are remotely used from mobiles via secure TLS channels. These channels are booted from TLS NFC (Near Field Communication) smartcards that are tapped against tablets equipped...
The focus of Indian agriculture so far has been on meeting the national demand, however it is going through a steady transformation phase to address the global requirement and is being driven by consumers and markets. According to APEDA Agriexchange portal, every year our country suffers more than 17000 Cr losses because consignments get rejected [1]. There is a growing concern for the food quality...
