Multipath routing is to distribute the incoming traffic load among available paths between source and destination hosts. Instead of using the single best path, multipath scheme can avoid the congested path. Equal Cost Multi-Path (ECMP) performs the static traffic splitting based on some tuples of the packet headers. The limitation of ECMP does not consider the network parameters such as bandwidth and delay. Unlike the traditional networks, Software-Defined Network (SDN) has many advantages to support dynamic multipath forwarding due to its special characteristics, such as separation of control and data planes, global centralized control, and programmability of network behavior. In this paper, we propose a new architecture design for dynamic multipath-based traffic management approach in the SDN, which comprises of five components: detecting long (elephant) flow, computing shortest paths, estimating end-to-end delay and bandwidth utilization, calculating least cost path and rerouting traffic flow from the ongoing path to the best path. The simulation environment is created through the usage of Mininet emulator and ONOS controller. The evaluation outcomes show that the proposed traffic management method outperforms the ECMP and reactive forwarding method for both TCP and UDP traffic.

Distributed power system (DPS) distributes power amongst processing units such as power electronics converters with DC system. Due to the increasing usage of power converters in DPS system, the system becomes unstable and the converter tends to draw constant power needed by the load of the system. Constant power load (CPL) characteristic has negative input impedance that could produce instability problems in the DC bus system. Passive damping network which consists of series RC damping circuit was connected in parallel to the DC bus system with the purpose to reduce the instability. The passive damper was designed, simulated with MATLAB/Simulink and verified experimentally with different values of CPL power levels and input voltage changes. The obtained simulation results show that simple DC system with constant power load was successfully stabilized by the installation of the passive damping network. The experimental set up was also conducted to validate of the proposed technique, and the obtained results were in excellent agreement with the theoretical parts of the project.

In this paper, we propose a quantized YCbCr color space (QYCbCr) technique which is employed in standard JPEG. The objective of this work is to accelerate computational time of the standard JPEG image compression algorithm. This is a development of the standard JPEG which is named QYCBCr algorithm. It merges two processes i.e., YCbCr color space conversion and Q quantization in which in the standar JPEG they were performed separately. The merger forms a new single integrated process of color conversion which is employed prior to DCT process by subsequently eliminating the quantization process. The equation formula of QYCbCr color coversion is built based on the chrominance and luminance properties of the human visual system which derived from quatization matrices. Experiment results performed on images of different sizes show that the computational running time of QYCbCr algorithm gives 4 up to 8 times faster than JPEG standard, and also provides higher compression ratio and better image quality.

In this paper partial H-plane band-pass waveguide filter, utilizing a novel resonant structure comprising a metal window along with metal posts has been proposed to compact the filter size. The metal windows and posts have been implemented transversely in a partial H-plane waveguides, which have one-quarter cross section size compared to the conventional waveguides in the same frequency range. Partial H-plane band-pass waveguide filter with novel proposed resonant structures has considerably shorter longitudinal length compared to the conventional partial H-plane filters, so that they reduce both cross section size and the total length of the filter compared to conventional H-plane filters, in the same frequency range. In the presented design procedure, the size and shape of each metal window and metal posts has been determined by fitting the transfer function of the proposed resonant structure to that of a desired one, which is obtained from a suitable equivalent circuit model. The design process is based on optimization using electromagnetic simulator software, HFSS. A proposed partial H-plane band-pass filter has been designed and simulated to verify usefulness and performance of the design method.

A stepper motor is an electro mechanical device that can convert electrical pulses to the axis of movement. The finding problem in the movement of a stepper motor is cannot respond to the clock signal directly because the motor windings require a clock (sequence) in the correct order. If the control signal given is not correct, the motor is not moving according to the specified precision. To answer these problems, it is necessary to move the stepper motor with a clock signal that works in real time. The research method is done by designing and testing the stepper motor movement in full stepp and half step with the direction of Clock Wise (CW) and Counter Clock Wise (CCW) movement. These are simulated by using FPGA Isim and implementation using a stepper motor. The results of several experiments have been carried out the stepper motor movement degree according to the input value entered,responding timely movement, and the direction of movement stepper motor.

A social network is indeed an abstraction of related groups interacting amongst themselves to develop relationships. However, toanalyze any relationships and psychology behind it, clustering plays a vital role. Clustering enhances the predictability and discoveryof like mindedness amongst users. This article’s goal exploits the technique of Ensemble K-means clusters to extract the entities and their corresponding interestsas per the skills and location by aggregating user profiles across the multiple online social networks. The proposed ensemble clustering utilizes known K-means algorithm to improve results for the aggregated user profiles across multiple social networks. The approach produces an ensemble similarity measure and provides 70% better results than taking a fixed value of K or guessing a value of K while not altering the clustering method. This paper states that good ensembles clusters can be spawned to envisage the discoverability of a user for a particular interest.

In this paper, we are going to propose a method for Steganography- which is based on deceiving χ2 algorithm. Since the cover image coefficients and stego image coefficients histograms have significant differences for purposes of statistical properties, statistical analysis of χ2-test reveals the existence of hidden messages inside stego image. We are introducing an idea for hiding messages in the cover image. It causes that DCT (Discrete Cosine Transforms) coefficient histogram not to have remarkable modification before and after embedding message. As a result, identifying the hidden message inside an image is impossible for an eavesdropper through χ2 -test. In this paper, we are proposing a better method with developing this algorithm. In fact, the capacity and the security of embedding messages increase extremely.DOI:http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijece.v3i2.2011

The Wireless sensor networks have limitations regarding data redundancy, power and require high bandwidth when used for multimedia data. Image compression methods overcome these problems. Non-negative Matrix Factorization (NMF) method is useful in approximating high dimensional data where the data has non-negative components. Another method of the NMF called (PNMF) Projective Nonnegative Matrix Factorization is used for learning spatially localized visual patterns. Simulation results show the comparison between SVD, NMF, PNMF compression schemes. Compressed images are transmitted from base station to cluster head node and received from ordinary nodes. The station takes on the image restoration. Image quality, compression ratio, signal to noise ratio and energy consumption are the essential metrics measured for compression performance. In this paper, the compression methods are designed using Matlab.The parameters like PSNR, the total node energy consumption are calculated. RTL schematic of NMF SVD, PNMF methods is generated by using Verilog HDL.

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a technology used mainly to identify tagged items or to track their locations. The most used antennas for RFID application are planar dipoles. For antenna design, it is necessary that the antenna has an impedance value equal to the conjugate of the impedance of the integrated circuit CI. To have a good adaptation allowing the maximum power transfer, there are several techniques. In this work we focus to the adaptation technical T-match which is based on the insertion of a second folded dipole in the center of the first dipole. This technique is modeled by an equivalent circuit to calculate the size of the folded dipole to have new input impedance of the antenna equal to the conjugate of the impedance of the IC. We also look to present a conceptual and technological approach of new topologies of linear dipoles. We proceeded to fold at right angles of the radiating strands in order to explore other topologiesof type L and Z. The interest of this microstrip folded dipole is their effectiveness to achieve coverage of Blind directions. The results obtained by the platform Ansoft HFSS, allowed us to obtain a quasi-uniform radiation patterns and the reflection coefficients that exceed -37 dB.

In this paper we proposed KAJ Spiral method for supporting PlayFair cipher algorithm to use languages other than English and utilize block with more than two characters at once. Original method does not support block of characters and other languages. The method uses a spiral shape with two axes (X, Y) and the letters are spread on the axis within circles depending on the language. We use Friedman method analysis (index of coincidence) as a tool to test and prove the efficiency of KAJ Spiral method, and we found that it is at least equally secure to the original PlayFair cipher. The aims of this is making cryptography just like mathematics a universal language such that people with different languages can use this algorithm for secure communication, and at the same time make the algorithm stronger and easy to use, with the ability to fit any language.
