However, it is plagued with disadvantages of resource scarcity as it exerts stress on available bandwidth as well as storage capacity of the devices in the network. Cognitive radio (CR) is one of the emerging technologies that can improve the bandwidth utilization by smart allocation of spectrum radio bands. Ideally speaking, a spectrum-aware cognitive radio is able to sense the local spectrum usage and adapt its own radio parameters accordingly. In this study, we have performed experiments to analyze the gains achieved by flooding protocol using cognitive radios of varying capabilities in opportunistic networks. We have performed experiments on three opportunistic networks obtained from real-life traces from different environments and presented results showing variance in delivery efficiency as well as cost incurred on those scenarios. Our results show that performance of flooding can be significantly improved using CRs in bandwidth-scarce environments;however, the improvement is not uniform with the increase in a number of available bands.展开更多

The past behavior or history of a device is usually referred to as contacts that the device had in the past. Whatever may be the metric of history, most of these routing protocols work on the realistic premise that node mobility is not truly random. In contrast, there are several oracles based methods where such oracles assist these methods to gain access to information that is unrealistic in the real world. Although, such oracles are unrealistic, they can help to understand the nature and behavior of underlying networks. In this paper, we have analyzed the gap between these two extremes. We have performed max-flow computations on three different opportunistic networks and then compared the results by performing max-flow computations on history generated by the respective networks. We have found that the correctness of the history based prediction of history is dependent on the dense nature of the underlying network. Moreover, the history based prediction can deliver correct paths but cannot guarantee their absolute reliability.展开更多

The ...The development of scientific inquiry and research has yielded numerous benefits in the realm of intelligent traffic control systems, particularly in the realm of automatic license plate recognition for vehicles. The design of license plate recognition algorithms has undergone digitalization through the utilization of neural networks. In contemporary times, there is a growing demand for vehicle surveillance due to the need for efficient vehicle processing and traffic management. The design, development, and implementation of a license plate recognition system hold significant social, economic, and academic importance. The study aims to present contemporary methodologies and empirical findings pertaining to automated license plate recognition. The primary focus of the automatic license plate recognition algorithm was on image extraction, character segmentation, and recognition. The task of character segmentation has been identified as the most challenging function based on my observations. The license plate recognition project that we designed demonstrated the effectiveness of this method across various observed conditions. Particularly in low-light environments, such as during periods of limited illumination or inclement weather characterized by precipitation. The method has been subjected to testing using a sample size of fifty images, resulting in a 100% accuracy rate. The findings of this study demonstrate the project’s ability to effectively determine the optimal outcomes of simulations.展开更多
