Novel Random Models Of Entity Mobility Models And Performance Analysis Ofrandom Entity Mobility Models, Meti̇n Bi̇lgi̇n

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

It has become possible to collect data from geographically large areas with smart devices that are prevalently used today. Sensors that are integrated into smart devices make it possible for these devices to receive and transmit data wirelessly. The most important problem of this model that is known as mobile crowd sensing and that allows inferences on the data obtained from its users is lack of data. The main reason for this problem is the lack of sufficient usage of the sensors on devices by the user. To increase the amount of data collected, while users may be incentivized in …

An Inter-Domain Attack Mitigating Solution, Gökhan Akin, Ozan Bük, Erdem Uçar Jan 2020

An Inter-Domain Attack Mitigating Solution, Gökhan Akin, Ozan Bük, Erdem Uçar

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Online services on the Internet are increasing day by day, and in parallel, the number of cyber-attacks is rapidly increasing. These attacks are not always about data theft, but they can cause severe damage by denial of service attacks. Intrusion Prevention System products that many organizations use at the border of their enterprise networks are not strong enough to protect against DoS attacks. The typical way to mitigate such attacks is to get support from a service provider. However, a service provider only provides solutions for the traffic originating from itself. If the source of attack is in another ISP …

A Multibeam Subarrayed Time-Modulated Linear Array, Uğur Yeşi̇lyurt, İhsan Kanbaz, Ertuğrul Aksoy

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In conventional time-modulated arrays (TMAs), because of the usage of the RF-switch, harmonics are generated at multiples of the modulation frequency. In this study, the synthesis of time-modulated arrays has been analyzed for cognitive radio (CR) systems, in which these harmonics are suitably exploited for more efficient utilization of the spectrum. In order to accomplish the desired pattern at requested harmonic frequencies, a new excitation strategy with sinusoidal signals is proposed. The use of sinusoidal waveforms creates independent beams, allowing independent steering capability. Moreover, by utilizing the subarray structure, it is possible to have a smaller number of excitation functions …

A Fast Text Similarity Measure For Large Document Collections Using Multireference Cosine And Genetic Algorithm, Hamid Mohammadi, Seyed Hossein Khasteh

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

One of the critical factors that make a search engine fast and accurate is a concise and duplicate free index. In order to remove duplicate and near-duplicate (DND) documents from the index, a search engine needs a swift and reliable DND text document detection system. Traditional approaches to this problem, such as brute force comparisons or simple hash-based algorithms, are not suitable as they are not scalable and are not capable of detecting near-duplicate documents effectively. In this paper, a new signature-based approach to text similarity detection is introduced, which is fast, scalable, and reliable and needs less storage space. …

Analysis Of Acoustic Sensor Placement For Pd Location In Power Transformer, Khairul Nadiah Khalid, Muhammad Nur Khairul Hafizi Rohani, Baharuddin Ismail, Muzamir Isa, Chang Yii Chai, Wan Nurul Auni Wan Muhammad

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Partial discharge (PD) is an abnormal activity that occurs in high-voltage components, such as power cables, switchgear, machines, and power transformers. Such activity needs to be diagnosed for the equipment to last longer as PD could harm the insulation and potentially lead to asset destruction from time to time. Moving one or more externally mounted acoustic sensors to different locations on the transformer tank is commonly used in order to detect and locate PD signal occurring in the power transformer. However, this procedure may lead to less accuracy in PD identification. Therefore, this research paper presents an analysis of acoustic …
