Abstract

Radar-based gesture recognition has emerged as a robust alternative to vision-based systems, particularly in environments where lighting and privacy pose challenges. This study presents a simulation approach for recognizing hand gestures to control unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) using radar signals. Five discrete gestures, i.e., TakeOff, Land, MoveForward, TurnLeft, and stop, were defined and modeled in MATLAB to generate synthetic radar signals. From each sample, four time-frequency domain features were extracted: duration, maximum amplitude, dominant frequency, and root mean square (RMS). A dataset of 500 samples (100 per class) was classified using three supervised learning models: support vector machine (SVM), k-nearest neighbors (k-NN), and decision tree. The k-NN classifier achieved the highest accuracy of 96%, demonstrating the feasibility of lightweight classifiers for gesture recognition using low-complexity features. These results highlight the potential of radar-based interfaces to replace traditional remote controls in UAV operation. The proposed simulation framework contributes to the development of intuitive, non-contact human-machine interaction systems.

Abstract

Ultra-wideband (UWB) technology enables high-data-rate communications and centimeter-accurate indoor localization but suffers severe degradation in multipath fading channels due to dense multipath components, narrowband interference (NBI), and low signal-to-noise ratios (SNR). Conventional energy-based detection methods, including Rake receivers, fail under these conditions due to amplitude sensitivity. This paper introduces a phase congruency (PC)-based selective Rake (S-Rake) receiver that exploits phase alignment across frequencies rather than signal magnitude for robust feature detection. The proposed method computes PC metrics via Hilbert transforms and sub-band decomposition to identify phase-aligned multipath components, guiding S-Rake finger selection (4, 8, and 128 fingers) and time-of-arrival (TOA) estimation. Simulations using 6th-derivative Gaussian pulses over IEEE 802.15.3a CM4 channels (NLOS, 4-10 m) with AWGN and IEEE 802.11a interference (SIR=-30 dB to 0 dB) demonstrate that PC-based S-Rake achieves 4 dB SNR gain at BER=10⁻⁴ over conventional Rake under high interference. DS-UWB with PC outperforms TH-UWB by 3× lower BER at SIR=-30 dB. Increasing Rake fingers from 4 to 128 reduces BER by >40% and improves TOA accuracy by 62% (RMSE: 1.8 ns → 0.68 ns). PC maintains BER=10⁻³ at SIR=0 dB where conventional methods fail. Results establish PC as a transformative paradigm for interference-resilient UWB applications including IoT localization and 5G-coexistent communications.

Abstract

Modern control systems must operate reliably in the presence of modeling uncertainties and external disturbances, conditions under which conventional fixed-gain controllers often exhibit performance degradation. This paper proposes a residual reinforcement learning framework for disturbance-resilient pitch-rate control of an aircraft longitudinal model. A classical proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller is employed as a stabilizing baseline, while a deep deterministic policy gradient (DDPG) agent learns a bounded residual control signal to compensate for unmodeled dynamics and external perturbations. To promote favorable transient behavior, the learning process incorporates transient-aware and reference-model-based reward shaping, while actuator constraints are enforced within the environment dynamics. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed residual controller achieves a superior balance between response speed, overshoot, and tracking accuracy compared with both the standalone PID controller and a pure DDPG-based controller. In particular, the residual architecture significantly reduces overshoot and tracking error while preserving fast transient response and providing robust disturbance rejection under large pitching moment disturbances. These results indicate that residual reinforcement learning offers a practical and effective approach for enhancing robustness and performance in safety-critical flight control applications.

Abstract

The recovery of organic waste, such as sheep compost, is a key strategy for energy valorization. This study evaluated its potential as a substrate in microbial fuel cells (MFCs) using zinc (anode) and copper (cathode) electrodes and analyzed the evolution of its physicochemical properties, using soil samples from a high Andean area of the Chacapampa district, Peru. Two configurations of ground-mounted MFCs in series were compared: C1 (16 reactors of 400 g) and C2 (8 reactors of 800 g), maintaining a total mass of 6.4 kg. The C2 configuration was significantly more efficient, generating a median power of 819.53 μW, more than double the 380.92 μW of C1 (p=0.002). The final physicochemical analysis revealed that the process transforms the substrate, increasing electrical conductivity and phosphorus availability, although potassium decreased. It is important to note that due to the use of reactive metal electrodes, the system operates as a hybrid microbial-galvanic cell, where the zinc anode is consumed. It is concluded that sheep compost is an effective substrate and that consolidating the volume in fewer reactors optimizes electrochemical performance, although long-term environmental impacts regarding zinc accumulation must be monitored.

Abstract

A key foundation of 5G heterogeneous networks (HetNets) is the use of network slicing, which divides bandwidth into multiple logical networks and accounts for each function’s requirements. Currently, various machine learning (ML) models are being implemented into the network slicing algorithm to allocate bandwidth dynamically. The network slicing algorithm analyzes the traffic and allocates bandwidth based on the current services using a network-centric approach. However, limited work is found on further studying the impact of user-centric algorithms in bandwidth allocation. This paper presents the network slicing used in 5G and the limitations of these algorithms. A detailed review of user-centric bandwidth allocation algorithms is presented, along with a critical review of ML algorithms for traffic prediction and resource allocation decisions. Finally, the technology gaps and opportunities of the existing works are reported, and the direction for further research of ML in user-centric bandwidth allocation algorithms is tabulated.

Abstract

This paper presents the design and analysis of a graphene-slotted hexagonal microstrip patch antenna and its extension to a compact 4×4 planar array operating in the sub-X-band. The objective of this work is to demonstrate that graphene-based electrical reconfigurability can be extended from a single antenna element to an array configuration while improving radiation performance. The proposed antenna integrates graphene slots etched into the radiating patch, where reconfigurability is achieved by electrically tuning the graphene conductivity through an external gate voltage Vg. The single antenna operates around 9.4 GHz with an impedance bandwidth of 400 MHz and a peak gain of 6 dB. The design is then extended to a 4×4 array with an inter-element spacing of approximately 1.2 wavelengths. The array operates in the 9–10 GHz range, provides a bandwidth of 380 MHz, and achieves a maximum gain of 13.08 dB. The results confirm that graphene-enabled reconfigurability can be preserved at the array level without increasing structural complexity.

Abstract

To enhance the performance of long range wide area network (LoRaWAN), a routing algorithm and a novel medium access control (MAC) layer protocol are required. In addition to addressing scalability and security issues, the protocol seeks to improve communication efficiency, dependability, and power consumption. It presents a dynamic routing method that reduces energy consumption by utilizing machine learning processes, adaptive routing tactics, and route optimization approaches. Simulations in a range of deployment situations are used to assess the suggested solutions. These results imply that the suggested protocol and routing scheme have the potential to greatly enhance the sustainability, energy efficiency, and performance of LoRaWAN-based Internet of Things networks. The effectiveness of the proposed solutions is evaluated through extensive simulations across diverse deployment scenarios. The results demonstrate that the proposed MAC protocol achieves a throughput of 350 bps, outperforming conventional protocols that typically reach only 220 bps. Latency is reduced to 50 ms from 85 ms, energy consumption is decreased to 2.5 joules from 4.5 joules, and the packet delivery ratio (PDR) is improved to 95%, compared to 75% in existing approaches. These findings highlight the potential of the proposed protocol and routing scheme to significantly enhance the performance, energy efficiency, and sustainability of LoRaWAN-based IoT networks.

Abstract

This study investigates the effect of surface pollution on a single-unit 11 kV glass suspension insulator using two-dimensional (2D) axisymmetric simulations in COMSOL Multiphysics. The developed model incorporates the electrical properties of glass, cement, steel electrodes, surrounding air, and a uniform pollution layer, with an applied AC voltage of 11 kV under quasi-static conditions. Simulation results demonstrate pronounced electric field intensification in the polluted configuration, particularly at the air–glass–cap triple junction region, where localized electrical stress is significantly higher compared to the clean condition. While the clean insulator operates within IEC 60383 recommended limits, the polluted model exhibits elevated peak electric field magnitudes, indicating increased flashover vulnerability. The findings highlight the strong influence of surface contamination, material permittivity, and geometric configuration on electric field distribution along the creepage path. This study establishes a reliable and computationally efficient predictive framework for optimizing insulator design, improving maintenance strategies, and enhancing the long-term reliability of high-voltage transmission systems, especially in pollution-prone environments.

Abstract

In this research, the authors present a study analysis and compares two types of embedded internal permanent magnet synchronous motors (IPMSM) with U-type and V-type magnet configurations using finite element method (FEM) modeling to apply these motors to the currently popular electric vehicle industry. Parameters such as magnetic flux density, torque, cogging torque, back electromotive force (back-EMF), torque oscillation, and harmonic components were analyzed and compared; thereby identifying the advantages and disadvantages of the two IPMSM structures. Specifically, the V-type IPMSM motor offers higher efficiency, more stable torque, and a higher quality back electromotive force waveform with lower losses, making it suitable for high-performance applications such as electric vehicles and industrial automation. Meanwhile, the U-type structure has lower cogging torque, suitable for low-speed applications or those requiring high precision. Simulation results from the ANSYS Maxwell software show that the IPMSM motor is energy-efficient, has high power density, and operates smoothly, allowing for rapid acceleration, long range, compact configuration, and low maintenance; it uses permanent magnets on the rotor to eliminate losses, making electric vehicles lighter and more efficient than traditional motors.
