Abstract

Computer network performance is highly dependent on effective traffic management and proper bandwidth allocation, especially in network environments with a large number of users and diverse service demands. Uneven bandwidth distribution often leads to degraded service quality, including low throughput, high delay, and increased packet loss. This study aims to analyze and optimize computer network performance through the implementation of traffic management and bandwidth allocation using the Simple Queue and Queue Tree methods on a MikroTik router. An experimental research approach was employed by comparing network performance before and after the application of bandwidth management mechanisms. The evaluation was conducted based on Quality of Service (QoS) parameters, namely throughput, delay, and packet loss, in accordance with the TIPHON standard. The experimental results indicate a significant improvement in network performance after the implementation of Simple Queue and Queue Tree. Throughput increased substantially, while delay and packet loss were considerably reduced, resulting in improved service quality categories. The Simple Queue method effectively ensured fair bandwidth distribution among users by limiting per-user bandwidth usage, whereas the Queue Tree method enhanced performance by prioritizing network traffic based on service types. The combination of these methods successfully minimized bandwidth monopolization, reduced network congestion, and improved overall network stability. Therefore, the implementation of Simple Queue and Queue Tree proves to be an effective solution for optimizing bandwidth utilization and enhancing Quality of Service in computer networks with high user density and heterogeneous traffic characteristics.

Abstract

The rapid proliferation of indoor Internet of Things (IoT) systems has intensified the need for cost-effective and energy-efficient wireless coverage extension solutions. Conventional commercial WiFi repeaters are often over-provisioned in terms of hardware capability and power consumption, making them unsuitable for small-scale IoT laboratories and energy-constrained environments. Although microcontroller-based platforms such as the ESP32 have been widely used for IoT gateways, their systematic evaluation as Network Address Translation (NAT)-based WiFi repeaters remains limited. This paper presents the design, implementation, and experimental performance evaluation of a low-cost ESP32-based NAT WiFi repeater for indoor IoT networks. The proposed architecture operates in dual-mode (Station + Access Point) configuration using a single 2.4 GHz radio interface and software-based NAT forwarding. Hardware optimization, including Bluetooth deactivation and transmission power tuning, is applied to reduce energy overhead. Experimental measurements conducted in an indoor laboratory environment evaluate throughput, latency, received signal strength indicator (RSSI), and power consumption. Results indicate that the proposed system achieves 15–35 Mbps throughput under single-client conditions, with an average latency increase of 3–8 ms compared to direct router connections. The repeater improves signal strength by up to 18 dB in weak-coverage areas, extending effective indoor coverage by approximately 10–20 m. Measured power consumption remains below 1.2 W during active forwarding, significantly lower than typical commercial repeaters. The main contribution of this work lies in providing a quantified energy–performance characterization of a microcontroller-based NAT repeater.

Abstract

This research aims to develop and implement a tree felling age detection device using piezoelectric sensors in urban forests. Urban forests play an important role in maintaining environmental quality and the well-being of urban communities. Despite the many benefits provided by trees, such as oxygen production and carbon dioxide absorption, the health condition of trees is often difficult to identify visually. Traditional methods of determining tree age, such as dendrochronology, are destructive and time-consuming, so a fast and accurate non-destructive method is needed. Piezoelectric sensors offer the potential for non-destructive detection of tree age by measuring the physical characteristics of trees that change with age, such as wood density, hardness and moisture content. The research involved sensor selection and calibration, data collection from trees in an urban forest, and signal processing and analysis to associate the extracted features with tree age. Test results show that the device can provide real-time tree age estimation, supporting sustainable urban forest management. This research also highlights the importance of integrating sensor technology with a comprehensive urban forest management system for better decision-making regarding tree planting, maintenance and felling.

From natural conditions like this, the majority of Indonesian people's livelihoods are fishermen after farmers. But the technology used by our fishermen is still lagging behind so that fishermen cannot maximize the potential of Indonesian fisheries. So that applicative development is needed to make it easier for fishermen. In this study, the design of a tool to automatically count the number and weight of fish using an arduino-based load cell sensor was carried out. This automatic counter uses arduino uno as a processor of the data received and uses a load cell sensor as a detector of the number and weight of fish then the resulting output to the LCD. In this design, an hx711 module is also added which functions as a load cell data converter from analog to digital. The test data, the fish is placed on the conveyor belt that runs and is brought into the counter then the sensor will start to detect then give the command to the Arduino then output the results of the data to the LCD.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze air quality in coffee shops in South Aceh using the MQ2 sensor to detect cigarette smoke. Cigarette smoke is a significant source of indoor air pollution and can negatively impact health. The MQ2 sensor was installed in various locations within the coffee shops to measure smoke concentration at different times, including peak and off-peak hours. The measurement results showed variations in cigarette smoke concentration, with peak levels occurring during times of increased customer traffic. Coffee shops with better ventilation systems exhibited lower smoke concentrations, indicating the importance of good air circulation in reducing the effects of cigarette smoke. These findings suggest the need for stricter regulations regarding smoking in public places and improvements in ventilation systems to protect the health of customers and staff. This research provides important insights into indoor air quality management and encourages the implementation of smoke-free policies in coffee shops. From the results of tests conducted in several coffee shops, it was found that the average cigarette smoke content increased in rooms with more than four fans, and that the size of the coffee shop had an influence.

Abstract

Noise is an environmental problem that arises due to the rapid growth of communication, industrialization, transportation, space, musical instruments and population. The purpose of this research is to detect the frequency value of sound intensity that can cause deafness and sound frequency that is safe for human hearing. The sound intensity value detected by the sensor is displayed in Real Time through Lcd. This tool research uses three parts, namely control, input and output, where Arduino nano functions as a tool controller, sound sensor as an input that functions as a sound detector around, dfplayer and Lcd as an output that functions to display sensor readings in the form of numbers and emit sound. Sound sensor reading data uses 4 categories, namely 0-30 dB “very safe”, 30-60 “safe”, 60-90 “dangerous” and 90-100 “very dangerous”, and the sound will sound according to the value displayed on the sound sensor to Arduino to facilitate the monitoring process. After the whole tool is assembled the tool is tested in two different places, namely Taman Pala and SDN 9 Tapaktuan South Aceh. The results of testing the tool in the nutmeg garden show a sound frequency number of 53.26 dB in the “safe” category, while the test results at SDN 9 show a frequency number of 98.93 dB in the “Very dangerous” category when the room is noisy.

Abstract

The rapid growth of Internet of Things (IoT) technology has increased the demand for flexible and user-friendly wireless connectivity in embedded systems. One of the most widely used modules in IoT applications is the ESP8266, which integrates a microcontroller and WiFi capability in a compact and low-cost platform. Despite its advantages, WiFi configuration on the ESP8266 is commonly implemented using static credentials that are hardcoded into the firmware. This approach requires recompilation and reprogramming whenever network parameters change, making it inefficient and impractical for end users and large-scale deployment. This research proposes the design and implementation of a WiFi Manager system on the ESP8266 module to enable dynamic WiFi configuration without modifying the firmware. The proposed system allows the ESP8266 to automatically switch to Access Point (AP) mode when it fails to connect to a previously stored network. Users can then configure WiFi credentials through a web-based interface using a standard web browser. The configuration data are stored in non-volatile memory and used to reconnect the device in Station (STA) mode once a valid network is detected. The research methodology includes system design, firmware development using the Arduino platform, and functional testing to evaluate connectivity performance and reliability. Experimental results show that the WiFi Manager system successfully simplifies the WiFi configuration process, achieves a high connection success rate, and provides stable reconnection after power reset. The proposed approach enhances usability, deployment flexibility, and scalability of ESP8266-based IoT devices.
