Demonstration of wireless synchronisation methods in autonomously controlled fleet of drones
http://www.inderscience.com/link.php?id=136443
This paper describes methods used in synchronising the behaviour of multiple autonomous flight vehicles utilising custom external hardware and firmware injected into current aviation flight systems. To prove the reliability and consistency of an autonomous ground-based landing sequence, a fleet of drones, each with varying capabilities and sizes, is modified to fit the landing criteria. Each drone in the fleet is controlled through a singular re-programmable controller running software developed for smooth and precise communication with a unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) onboard flight computer. The results of experiments performed on the landing sequence for each drone relay information about the strengths and weaknesses of the ground station landing protocol and pave the way for further innovation in autonomous landing procedures.

Deployable 5G emergency networks using software defined radios: a case study
http://www.inderscience.com/link.php?id=136442
In the event of a disaster or emergency, it is not uncommon for the dedicated communication infrastructure to become damaged or weakened. This is not just an inconvenience but rather a monumental problem for first responders or any kind of disaster relief organisations. This study aims at developing a relay system solution for 5G mobile wireless communication networks using Universal Software Radio Peripherals (USRPs) devices and a radio design using GNU Radio software. The benefit of using Software Defined Radios such as the USRP devices is that the user is able to have dynamic modulation implementation based on software rather than hardware. The study results shows a successful transmission and reception of text messages as well as picture messages using the proposed relay system based on using frequency modulation (FM) and orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) modulation which is a key technology for 5G communication.

Analysing the performance of commercial 5GC in private network deployment
http://www.inderscience.com/link.php?id=136444
Industrial Internet of Things (IIOTs) is an all-encompassing term referring to a myriad of technologies, applications, and use cases. The future of enterprise technology requires resilient 5G networks to accommodate the growing demand for connectivity. Although 4G long term evolution (LTE) is sufficient for many IIOT use cases, machine to machine (M2M) communications, and enterprise connectivity, only low latency, high-speed, and high-capacity 5G networks can quench the needs of capacity hunger mission-critical and data-intensive applications. Furthermore, 5G NR technology supports massive machine-type communications (mMTC), essential for the proliferation of IIOT devices. With mMTC, it is possible to support many devices with low power consumption and low complexity. To reduce the complexity and accelerate the 5G rollouts, the operators deploy 5G built out on non-standalone architecture (5G-NSA), where the traffic at the core falls back to the 4G network for mobility management entity (MME), home subscriber server (HSS), policy and charging rules function (PCRF).

Improving AODV routing protocol using a multi-objective mechanism based on repairing broken links on the MANET networks
http://www.inderscience.com/link.php?id=136446
Due to the high mobility in the mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs), conventional routing protocols such as ad-hoc on-demand distance vector (AODV) face numerous disruptions during routing and data transmission. In this paper, a new model has been proposed by examining the behaviour of modified AODV protocols that have been proposed so far to address broken links during the routing process. A new protocol has been proposed that improves the performance of the AODV protocol. In the proposed protocol the broken links that are located on the main paths are predicted and it has been tried to prevent disruption in data transmission by repairing paths. The proposed method works by predicting and repairing paths when links break, also reserves alternative paths before broken links. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed protocol have performed better than the AODV. The rate of improvement in evaluation criteria is 45% on average.

Design and implementation of an optimised stochastic vector precoder to improve the spectral efficiency in ultra-dense massive MIMO networks
http://www.inderscience.com/link.php?id=136445
The need for low-complexity precoding and the fact that inter-user interference (IUI) lowers spectral efficiency (SE) at user terminals (UTs) make it even more important to find a solution that reduces IUI and increases SE. The research introduces an optimised stochastic vector precoder (OSVP) for uplink communication, which aims to enhance the SE of the mMIMO ultra dense network (UDN). OSVP leverages minimal CSI and employs the levy flight operator (LFO), while exponential evolutionary agents (EEA) employ signal perturbation within constellation bounds. OSVP utilises the LFO and EEA to locate perturbing signals within the lattice grid while adhering to constellation boundaries. The findings obtained through simulation demonstrate that the OSVP improves the SE within dense networks with a substantial number of transmit antennas. From the results, the OSVP has a higher SE, allowing for enhanced signal manipulation in UDN compared to existing state-of-the-art models.

Gamification and app engagement: a bibliometric analysis
http://www.inderscience.com/link.php?id=136447
Mobile applications have been used across various sectors. However, user engagement with the app is important for it to gain traction. Gamification of mobile applications has the potential to enhance user engagement in these applications. Thus, gamification and its effect on app engagement have attracted considerable attention within the academic community. Publications in gamification research have grown dramatically from 2014 to 2022. The current bibliometric study is prompted due to the proliferation of gamification and app engagement literature. Data were extracted from 150 papers identified from the Scopus database using gamification and app engagement as search terms. Significant journals, authors, citations, countries, and research areas were analysed. The four important clusters in gamification and app engagement research were Gamified app, Cyber Security, Food Consumption, and eHealth. This study would benefit researchers and help app designers in developing and promoting mobile applications.
