A Survey of Machine Learning Applications to Handover Management in 5G and Beyond
(IEEE, 2021-03-19)
Handover (HO) is one of the key aspects of next-generation (NG) cellular communication networks that need to be properly managed since it poses multiple threats to quality-of-service (QoS) such as the reduction in the ...
Deep Reinforcement Learning based Handover Management for Millimeter Wave Communication
(International Journal of Advanced Computer Science and Applications,, 2021)
The Millimeter Wave (mm-wave) band has a broad-spectrum capable of transmitting multi-gigabit per-second date-rate. However, the band suffers seriously from obstruction and high path loss, resulting in line-of-sight (LOS) ...
A mathematical model for fall armyworm management on maize biomass
(Springer Nature, 2021-02-04)
Fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda), a highly destructive and fast spreading agricultural pest native to North and South America, poses a real threat to global food security. In this paper, to explore the dynamics and ...
Early identification of Tuta absoluta in tomato plants using deep learning
(Elsevier B.V., 2020-11)
The agricultural sector is highly challenged by plant pests and diseases. A high–yielding crop, such as tomato with high economic returns, can greatly increase the income of small- holder farmers income when its health is ...
Deep Convolutional Neural Network for Chicken Diseases Detection
(International Journal of Advanced Computer Science and Applications, 2021)
For many years in the society, farmers rely on
experts to diagnose and detect chicken diseases. As a result,
farmers lose many domesticated birds due to late diagnoses or
lack of reliable experts. With the available ...
