    Motorized cart is known as an effective tool and timeless that help people carry heavy loads. For farmers, it has an especially vital tool for moving goods. Oil palm farmers typically uses the wheelbarrow to move the oil palm fruit (Figure 10.1). However, there is a lack of equipment that should be further enhanced in capabilities. Motorized carts that seek to add automation to wheelbarrow as it is to help people save manpower while using it. At present, oil palm plantation industry is among the largest in Malaysia. However, in an effort to increase the prestige of the industry to a higher level there are challenges to be faced. Shortage of workers willing to work the farm for harvesting oil palm has given pain to manage oil palm plantations. Many have complained about the difficulty of hiring foreign workers and a high cost. Although there are tools that can be used to collect or transfer the proceeds of oil palm fruits such as carts available. However, these tools still have the disadvantage that requires high manpower to operate. Moreover, it is not suitable for all land surfaces and limited cargo space. Workload and manpower dependence has an impact on farmers' income

    A New CAC Policy Based on Traffic Characterization in Cellular Networks

    Get PDF
    The Call Admission Control (CAC) method presented in this paper is based on the statistical properties of the network’s traffic variables. It probabilistically estimates the time until the release of a seized channel: the admission control depends on the computed mean remaining time averaged along all channels at a specific instant and on a time threshold. The policy produces a smooth transition between the QoS metrics, giving the operator the freedom to design the network at the desired QoS point. Another valuable property is that the algorithm is straightforward and fed only by simple teletraffic metrics: distribution and the first and second moments of Channel Holding Time (CHT). Simplicity is important for a CAC method because decisions for accepting or rejecting calls must be computed quickly and frequently.Peer Reviewe

    VIRTUAL CONNECTION TREE BASED ALGORITHMS FOR 3G MOBILE COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS

    An algorithm for mobile Asynchronous Transfer Mode(ATM) handover that offers service adaptability and efficient allocation of wired resources for connection rates is evaluated in this paper. In future 3G systems there is a requirement for wireless connection rates of up to 2Mbits/sec, it is the objective of this paper to investigate the effects of this increase in rate on a service adaptable handoff algorithm. The algorithm is based on the Virtual Connection Tree (VCT) and provides fast re-routing for delay sensitive services and cell sequencing for cell loss sensitive services. An ATM handoff model is used to analyse the service adaptable algorithm in terms of cell loss and end-to-end delay. Results are discussed proving the advantages of the algorithm for future ATM mobile communications

    LA TECHNOLOGIE AGENT ET LES RESEAUX SANS FIL

    No full text
    La technologie agent aura un rôle de plus en plus important à jouer dans les télécommunications grâce à leur propriétés, notamment, d'autonomie, d'intelligence et/ou de mobilité. Les réseaux sans fil joueront également un rôle de plus en plus important offrant un accès omniprésent au réseau, favorisant ainsi la mobilité de l'utilisateur. Dans ce contexte, nous avons identifié un certain nombre de domaines d'application des agents dans les réseaux sans fil. Nous avons décrit, ensuite, un exemple d'utilisation des agents en prenant comme scénario de référence un utilisateur de la 4ème génération de mobile ayant à sa disposition plusieurs technologies d'accès sans fil. Cet utilisateur voudra être connecté au mieux, n'importe où, n'importe quand et avec n'importe quel réseau d'accès. La technologie agent est, dans ce cas, utilisée pour adapter le handover horizontal (changement au sein d'une même technologie d'accès) et vertical (changement de technologie d'accès) aux besoins de qualité de service de l'utilisateur

    An Alternative Approach to the Determination of Optimum Reservations for Handover in GSM Networks

    Get PDF
    This work presents an alternative approach to the computation of the optimum reservations to be made in a GSM network for handover call requests. Prioritizing handover calls in a cellular network such as the GSM is necessary so as to guarantee seamless connection. Successful handover enhances the quality of service (QoS) of a network as the later is directly dependent on call continuity. In a previous analysis, the expression for the optimum reservations to be made was determined using the Gaussian Elimination method which had limitations because the power series used only considered the second order. Also, the set of equations to be solved was reduced to three thereby giving a result that does not quite represent the general system. In this work, the logarithmic approach is adopted which captures the total system capacity under test. A more reliable function for the determination of optimum reservations required in a system is thus derived. This new approach is also compared with that obtained using the Gaussian Elimination method

    A framework for fast handoff schemes in wireless ATM networks

    Get PDF
    Includes bibliographical references.In this research, we focus on providing a framework that extends the fixed ATM standard to support user mobility in future WATM networks. The WATM architecture allows for the migration of fixed ATM networks without major modifications. Thus most of the mobility functions are implemented on the wireless access network. The most important component supporting mobility in a cluster is the Mobility Enhanced Switch (MES). We propose using direct links between adjacent MESs to support Permanent Virtual Channels (PVCs) in order to facilitate fast inter-cluster handoffwith minimum handofflatency. This research addresses a framework on handoff mobility by proposing three fast handoff re-routing schemes based on the support of PVCs
