Tag identification in a fast-moving environment is an emerging challenge for future RFID systems. However, existing literatures on the tag reading protocol design primarily apply to stationary scenarios, which fail to cope with mobile environments with unreliable channel condition. In this paper, we first review various types of prior reading protocols and then discuss a new direction of mobile tag reading by proposing a novel partitioning strategy. This analysis and experimental results show its superiority in achieving reading performance for the UHF RFID system under a mobile environment....
With the increasing amounts of terminal equipment with higher requirements of communication quality in the emerging fifth generation mobile communication network (5G), the energy consumption of 5G base stations (BSs) is increasing significantly, which not only raises the operating expenses of telecom operators but also imposes a burden on the environment. To solve this problem, a two-step energy management method that coordinates 5G macro BSs for 5G networks with user clustering is proposed. The coordination among the communication equipment and the standard equipment in 5G macro BSs is developed to reduce both the energy consumption and the electricity costs. A novel user clustering method is proposed together with Benders decomposition to accelerate the solving process. Simulation results show that the proposed method is computationally efficient and can ensure near-optimal performance, effectively reducing the energy consumption and electricity costs compared with the conventional dispatching scheme....
Network slicing is one of the most important features in 5G which enables a large variety of services with diverse performance requirements by network virtualization. Traditionally, the network can be viewed as a one-size-fits-all slice and its services are bundled with proprietary hardware supported by telecom equipment providers. Now with the network virtualization technology in 5G, open networking software can be deployed flexibly on commodity hardware to offer a multi-slice network where each slice can offer a different set of network services. In this research, we propose a multi-slice 5G core architecture by provisioning its User Plane Functions (UPFs) with different QoS requirements. We compare the performance of such a multi-slice system with that of one-size-fits-all single slice architecture under the same resource assignment. Our research objective is to compare the performance of a network slicing architecture with that of a “one-size-fits-all” architecture and validate that the former can achieve better performance with the same underlying infrastructure. The results validate that our proposed system can achieve better performance by slicing one UPF into three with proper resource allocation....
The objective of this paper is to study the key technology of the mobile communication network optimization system based on artificial intelligence technology. Specific Content. This paper designs the artificial intelligence agent- (IA-) type mobile communication network optimization tool iOS2CMCN, analyzes the relevant intelligent technology introduced into the system, and analyzes the feasibility and practicability of iOS2CMCN through application examples. The results show that the optimization of mobile communication networks is one of the important links in the construction of communication networks and ensuring the quality of network service. In the form of an artificial intelligence agent, iOS2CMCN absorbs the experience and knowledge of a large number of network optimization engineers and experts and realizes the intelligence and automation of mobile communication network optimization. It is proven that the fuzzy technology is introduced in theory, the practical problem is reasonably modeled, and the rule and case reasoning are used to simulate the thinking mode of a human being when solving the problem. It reduces the dependence of network optimization on humans, improves the efficiency of network optimization, and provides a new idea for practical mobile communication network optimization....
The evolution of technology in 1990s resulted in the enormous growth of smartphones and the propagation of mobile applications (App) that marked new opportunities for healthcare centers and medical education. Apps have altered health services from patient’s health monitoring to specialist’s appointments and consultations from specialized health facilities. It can be argued that a healthy society can bring forth sustainable economic development to its full potential while an unhealthy society cannot. However, a free movement of people, labour and right to residence which was built across East Africa (EA) borders enabled Tanzania and Kenya borders to have enormous interactions. Subsequently, increase the risk of highly communicable diseases such as Tuberculosis and Sexually transmitted infections in such a way that medical attention is unavoidable along the borders. Statistically, Android Operating System (OS) owns 83% of Africa’s mobile OS market. In addition, 25,794,560 internet users reported by Tanzania Communications Regulatory Authority (TCRA) together with the 22.86 million internet users provided by Kenya Digital which is equivalent to 46% and 43% of internet penetration in year 2020, disclose the need for Android mobile application for mapping health facilities both online and offline using Google map API, which will solve residents’ need to healthcare services on the presence or shortage of internet connections; using either Swahili or English language via Smartphone devices. The App incorporates Monitoring and Evaluation (M & E) tool for tracking application usage which will ease Admin’s task to generate daily and monthly reports in Excel and Comma-Separated Values (CSV) formats...............
