Abstract

Cognitive radio networks offer an alternative to low spectral availability in some frequency bands due to their high demand for frequency channels. This article proposes to improve the spectral assignment based on the combinative distance-based assessment multicriteria algorithm. The metrics obtained are compared with a simple additive weighting algorithm and a RANDOM selection. To establish the algorithm 's performance, five quality-of-service metrics are used: number of handoffs, number of failed handoffs, average bandwidth, average throughput, and cumulative average delay. From the analysis of the results obtained, combinative distance-based assessment (CODAS) presented the best result for the cost metrics with the lowest levels, and for the benefit metrics, the highest levels were obtained.

Abstract

Public transport plays a significant role in the economic development of a country, so the state must guarantee its proper functioning, not only in terms of controlling vehicular traffic and generating adequate roads but also in terms of pricing and customer service. This article proposes a smart electronic taximeter that improves customer service quality and provides greater control for the taxi owner. To achieve this, the smart taximeter has a data entry module (keyboard), a location module (global position system), a time module (date and time), a storage module (memory), a display module (light emitting diode array), an auditory module (speech synthesizer), a communication module (Wi-Fi) and a microcontroller that controls the processes of setup, pricing, billing, and accounting. The results have shown a satisfactory response on the part of the client and the entrepreneur since it allows a higher level of inclusion from the auditory output in Spanish and English, as well as to carry out better financial accounting through the storage of information on the place, date and time, start and end, as well as the duration, distance, fare, surcharges, total cost, and number of each taxi service (ride). Finally, the smart electronic taximeter complies with all Colombian resolution No. 88918 relations of the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Tourism.
