Adaptive beamforming approach for secure communication in 5G network

The beamforming approach has been emerging as a very important concept for next generation networks. In addition to the improved channel capacity, spectral efficiency, energy efficiency, secrecy rate and secrecy outage probability, the upcoming fifth generation network mainly aims at enhancing the parameters of the channel for secure communication. In this paper, we have implied the allocation of resource blocks adaptively using HMM with a beamforming approach in an intruded network. A system model for secure communication in an intruded network has been discussed using a beamforming approach with the main motive being to provide a security scenario to the data which is transmitted over an unsecured channel in a network. In addition to this we have used the approach of HMM for allocating the resource blocks to the users which have been demanded and applied in order to avoid the intrusion and wastage of resource blocks.

Design and implementation of novel 6G cellular communication architecture using 3D modelling in real environments

Academics and businesses alike are presently fixated on the Sixth Generation (6G) network, which is seen as the telecom industry’s next major game-changer. The 6G architecture has not been finalized and is not yet being used in commercial settings. Research and development for 6G is still in its early stages. Several important features and technologies have surfaced as possible 6G system underpinnings, while development is still in its early phases. To facilitate the next generation of 3D modeling applications, this article suggests a new 6G cellular communication architecture. Aware of 6G’s revolutionary potential, we investigate its fundamental features to build a collaborative, real-time 3D modeling environment with unmatched capabilities. The goal of this project is to design the architecture for the next generation of communications systems. This will incorporate elements from two existing designs: the decoupled RAN design, which improves security and smooth data sorting, and the high-level design, which incorporates numerous protocols inside the antenna for stringent protection. Lastly, we delve into the possible sector-specific disruptions caused by this design and examine its wider implications for the future of 3D modeling. We hope that by introducing this new 6G architecture, we may inspire more study and development towards a day when 6G technology completely changes the game when it comes to 3D modeling.

Abstract

We propose a new modification to the A* algorithm named AA* that significantly improves space and time complexities. In AA*’s forward pass, the node sets (open and closed) are not used, and only the local node neighborhood is saved to take the next move decision. AA* needs a backward pass to bridge and correct gaps and bad decisions made in the forward pass. The work of the backward pass is far less than that of the forward pass, as most of the task has been done. It is shown via empirical experimental work that our proposed AA* algorithm is superior to the classical A* algorithm in the typical three metrics: running time, number of probed nodes, and length of path. Furthermore, our experimental work showed that AA* is suboptimal in terms of length of path compared to the original Dijkstra’s algorithm with an accuracy of 96.95%.
