Sun power generation systems which use large capacity centralized inverters have loss of power generation due to cloud and building shadows, pollution, cell deterioration, etc. To minimize loss of power generation, decentralized solar power systems using multiple micro-inverters are being proposed as an alternative. A distributed solar power system consisting of a system-connected system uses power line communication to collect data from the micro-inverters. Power line communication has the advantage of using power lines without separate lines for data transmission, but in distributed solar power generation systems that use a large number of micro-inverters, the bit error rate is less reliable due to the phenomenon caused by limited transmission power, high load interference and noise, variable signal attenuation, and impedance characteristics. So we proposed wireless intelligent controller for micro-inverter that is used to build distributed solar power systems. and we design and implement that. Further, the proposed wireless intelligent controller for micro-inverter was used to establish a small-volume solar power plant to check its function and operation.

Wireless networks composed of multimedia-enabled resource-constrained sensor nodes have enriched a large set of monitoring sensing applications. In such communication scenario, however, new challenges in data transmission and energy-efficiency have arisen due to the stringent requirements of those sensor networks. Generally, congested nodes may deplete the energy of the active congested paths toward the sink and incur in undesired communication delay and packet dropping, while bit errors during transmission may negatively impact the end-to-end quality of the received data. Many approaches have been proposed to face congestion and provide reliable communications in wireless sensor networks, usually employing some transport protocol that address one or both of these issues. Nevertheless, due to the unique characteristics of multimedia-based wireless sensor networks, notably minimum bandwidth demand, bounded delay and reduced energy consumption requirement, communication protocols from traditional scalar wireless sensor networks are not suitable for multimedia sensor networks. In the last decade, such requirements have fostered research in adapting existing protocols or proposing new protocols from scratch. We survey the state of the art of transport protocols for wireless multimedia sensor networks, addressing the recent developments and proposed strategies for congestion control and loss recovery. Future research directions are also discussed, outlining the remaining challenges and promising investigation areas.

As technology advances, processor speeds are increasing at a rapid pace and digital systems require a significant amount of data bandwidth. As a result, careful consideration of signal integrity is required to ensure reliable and high-speed data processing. Crosstalk has become a vital area of research in signal integrity for electronic packages, mainly because of the high level of integration. Analytic formulas were analyzed in this study to identify the features that can predict crosstalk in multi-conductor transmission lines. Through the analysis, five variables were found and obtained a dataset consisting of 302,500, data points. The study evaluated the performance of various regression models for optimization via automatic machine learning by comparing the machine learning predictions with the analytic solution. Extra tree regression consistently outperformed other algorithms, with coefficients of determination exceeding 0.9 and root mean square logarithmic errors below 0.35. The study also notes that different algorithms produced varied predictions for the two metrics.

The remote healthcare monitoring system enables a doctor to diagnose and monitor patient's health problem from a distance. Previous researches have focused on key establishment method between a patient and a particular doctor to solve personal health information disclosure problem in data transmission process. However, when considering a misdiagnosis of doctor, the result of a diagnosis by a many doctors is more reliable. In previous work, in order to select multiple doctors, patient should generate shared key for each chosen doctor and perform many times encryptions. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a secure data transmission protocol for receiving diagnosis from multiple doctors using identity-based proxy re-encryption scheme. In proposed protocol, a patient don't need key management work for session key. Also, monitoring server performs re-encryption process on behalf of patient. So, we can reduce computational burden of patient in previous work.

The Stream Control Transmission Protocol(SCTP) is a reliable transport layer protocol that provides several features. Multihoming is the one of the features and allows an association(SCTP's term for a connection) between two endpoints to use multiple paths. One of the paths, called a primary path, is used for initial data transmission and in the case of retransmission an alternate path is used. SCTP's current retransmission policy attempts to improve the chance of success by sending all retransmissions to an alternate destination address. However, SCTP's current retransmission policy has been shown to actually degrade performance in many circumstances. It is because that, due to Karn's algorithm, successful retransmissions on the alternate path cannot be used to update RTT(Round-Trip Time) estimation for the alternate path. In this paper we propose a scheme to avoid such performance degradation. We utilize 2bits which is not used in the flag field of DATA and SACK chunks to disambiguate original transmissions from retransmissions and to keep RTT and RTO(Retransmission Time-Out) values more accurate.

On the Social Internet of Things (SIoT), social activities occur through which the vehicle generates a variety of data, shares them with other vehicles, and sends and receives feedbacks. In order to share reliable information between vehicles, it is important to determine the reliability of a vehicle. In this paper, we propose a vehicle trust evaluation scheme to share reliable information among vehicles. The proposed scheme calculates vehicle trust by considering user reputation and network trust based on inter-vehicle social behaviors. The vehicle may choose to scoring, ignoring, redistributing, etc. in the social activities inter vehicles. Thereby, calculating the user's reputation. To calculate network trust, distance from other vehicles and packet transmission rate are used. Using user reputation and network trust, local trust is calculated. It also prevents redundant distribution of data delivered during social activities. Data from the Road Side Unit (RSU) can be used to overcome local data limitations and global data can be used to calculate a vehicle trust more accurately. It is shown through various performance evaluations that the proposed scheme outperforms the existing schemes.

Even though Internet backbone speeds have increased in the last few years due to projects like Internet 2 and NGI, many high performance distributed applications are able to achieve only a small fraction of the available bandwidth. The cause of such problem is due to a character of TCP/IP. The primary goal of this protocol is reliable data transmission. Therefore high speed data transmission didn't be considered when TCP/IP is designed. Hence several researchers have been studied in order to solve the problem of TCP/IP. One of these research results, parallel transfer technique, solves this problem to use parallel TCP connections on application level. Additionally, this technique is compatibility. Recently, these researchers have been studied a mechanism to decide the number of parallel TCP connections. However, some researchers reported the number of parallel TCP connection base on only empirical results. Although hardware performance of host affects transmission rate, the hardware performance didn't be considered in their works. Hence, we collect all data related to transmission rate, such as hardware state information (cpu utilization, interrupt, context switch). Then, we analyzed collected data. And, we suggest a new mechanism determining number of parallel TCP connections for maximization of performance based on our analysis.

This paper presents a low-cost remote power-quality-failure monitoring system (RPMS) using Android App and TI MCU (micro-controller unit), which is appliable to a micro-grid. The designed RPMS testbed consists of smart nodes, a server, and Android APPs. Especially, the C2000-series MCU-based RPMS smart node that is low-cost compared to existing monitoring systems has both a signal processing function for power signal processing and a data transmission function for power-quality monitoring data transmission. The signal processing function implements both a wavelet-based power failure detection algorithm including sag, swell, and interruption, and a FFT-based power failure detection algorithm including harmonics such that reliable and real-time power quality monitoring is guaranteed. The data transmission function implements a low-complexity RPMS transmission protocol and defines a simple data format (msg_Diag) for power monitoring message transmission. We may watch the monitoring data in real time both at a server and Android phone Apps connected to the WiFi network (or WAN). We use RS-232 (or Bluetooth) as the wired (or wireless) communication media between a server and nodes. We program the RPMS power-quality-failure monitoring algorithm using C language in the CCS (Code Composer Studio) 3.3 environment.

In this paper, we propose a new reliable multicast MAC protocol over the IEEE 802.11-based tactical ad hoc networks. The major contribution compared to the previous reliable multicast schemes using consecutive CTSs/ACKs is that the proposed scheme can send multiple CTS/ACK messages concurrently assisted by MC-DS/CDMA mechanisms. When multiple receivers receive the RTS/DATA message from a sender, they respond with the CTS/ACK message spread with pre-assigned code in the same time interval. The proposed scheme can reduce the overhead of multiple CTSs/ACKs. It is also possible to alleviate the received signal strength at the enemy detector and thus it improves low probability of detection performance. Through simulations and analysis, the proposed scheme outperforms that of the multiple CTSs/ACks in terms of the throughput, transmission delay and low probability of detection.
