    No full text
    The project objective is to evaluate the performance of routing protocols using a simulation software to determine the which routing protocol is the best in a given network and the benefits and drawbacks of each protocol.Due to the huge number of routers and hosts in the internet, internet was divided into areas called (autonomous systems) or (ASs) each run under the same administrative authority. Inside the autonomous system the administrators have many choices of routing protocols to run. To select one among these choices, they must be compared with each to determine the best protocol to be used. There are a lot of metrics to evaluate and compare the performance of routing protocols; the amount of traffic generated by each protocol, the traffic dropped by each protocol in case of link failure, the bandwidth consumed by the protocol, the delay caused by the protocol messages,…etc. In this project, the OPNET modeler version 14 was used to evaluate and compare the performance of routing protocols. First simulation compares the traffic generated by RIP, IGRP, OSPF and EIGRP, the second simulation evaluate the performance of distance vector protocols in the case of a topology changes, the third and fourth simulations show how the performance of the RIP can be improved by enabling the auto summary and the triggered extension mode . From the simulation results it has been found that: - The Enhanced Gateway Routing Protocol (IGRP) is the protocol that consumes the least bandwidth due to its small generated traffic when compared with the other routing protocols, and the EIGRP give the best performance in the case of topological changes due to its fast convergence time, the will make the EIGRP is the best choice to be used as an interior gateway routing protocol. -The Enhanced Gateway Routing Protocol (IGRP) can only be used in CISCO routers, so in the case of the networks that use routers from other manufacturers, the OSPF will be a good choice because it has give the second best performance. 5 -The routing information protocol RIP generate high periodic traffic that can cause congestion to the slow networks, but its performance can be improved by enabling the auto summary and the triggered extension mode which lead to a significant decrement in the traffic generated by the RIP

    No full text
    This project focuses on modeling a hybrid power plant (in Soba) controlled by a wind-diesel hybrid control system so as to supply the load in the associated areaHybrid power systems based on new and renewable energy sources, especially wind energy, are an effective option to solve the power-supply problem for remote and isolated areas far from the grids. The hybrid system employs a renewable source of power (wind turbine) in addition to a diesel generator; the later is used to compensate for the instabilities of the wind turbine. This project focuses on modeling a hybrid power plant (in Soba) controlled by a wind-diesel hybrid control system so as to supply the load in the associated area To be able to achieve wind generation the velocity of the wind at the plants as well as the turbine power output must be known. A monthly schedule was used in order to calculate the average velocity of the wind and to determine the turbine mechanical power output. If the wind generation is insufficient the diesel generator responds so as to compensate for the disturbances in order to maintain the power supply to the load. To analyses the system ETAP was used and the results (generated power) were recorded

    The objectives of this project are to suggest solutions for harmonic problem in industrial power systems also to study the main harmonic sources in industries their modeling, analysis and effects.Ideally, an electricity supply should invariably show a perfectly sinusoidal voltage signal at every customer location. However, for a number of reasons, utilities often find it hard to preserve such desirable conditions. The deviation of the voltage and Current waveforms from sinusoidal is described in terms of the waveform distortion, often expressed as harmonic distortion. Harmonics can be produced in a plant and/or may enter a plant from the utility power system because of other offending sources on the line feeding the plant. The objectives of this project are to suggest solutions for harmonic problem in industrial power systems also to study the main harmonic sources in industries their modeling, analysis and effects. From the project it was found that the passive filters is the most effective and economic solution for harmonic problem in industrial power systems. The Sudanese Malaysian Factory was taken as a case study analyzed with the ETAP; the results of the harmonic analysis compared with the IEEE harmonic distortion limits where all harmonic orders which exceed the limits had been removed using the passive filters

    The Objective of this project is to develop a physical security system by means of fingerprint to assure the security of the door of room or building for limiting the access to specific people, in order to assure a high level of security which makes it difficult for a stranger to impersonate that person.Abstract: The development in control systems led through computerized automatic systems to a great development in security systems especially after biometric technology has arisen as a new. Biometric is computerized methods of recognizing people based on physical or behavioral characteristics. The main biometric technologies include face recognition, fingerprint, hand geometry, iris, palm prints, signature and voice. In fact the fingerprint biometric is the only current biometric which satisfies the requirements of high security and it has been used to make identifications for over 100 years. Fingerprint is unique, easy to capture and does not require sophisticated hardware for analysis, so it can be used in military applications that require high security and in civil applications that require welfare. The Objective of this project is to develop a physical security system by means of fingerprint to assure the security of the door of room or building for limiting the access to specific people, in order to assure a high level of security which makes it difficult for a stranger to impersonate that person. The program is coded with MATLAB7 going through all the stages of the fingerprint processing, saving and matching. MATLAB7 is helpful to understand the procedures of fingerprint recognition. As fingerprint systems grow, system price will continue to decrease along with size, while recognition rates will improve. If costs became reasonable as the industry projects, personal use of biometric systems will grow to replace the current reliance on passwords, PINs, and door keys that are used for computers, home security systems, restricted entry, cars, ATMs, credit cards, Internet access, corporate networks, confidential databases, etc. The biometric promise is to make access much simpler while at the same time provide higher level of security

    FIXED WIMAX CAPACITY AND LINK BUDGET CALCULATIONS

    No full text
    The objective of this project is to better understand WiMAX system capacity and link budget calculations. System capacity refers to the number of connections that the wireless channel can support without unduly degrading the data services carried on the channel.WiMAX stand for Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access, which is a telecommunication technology that provides wireless data in a variety of ways, from point-to-point links to full mobile cellular type access. It is based on the IEEE 802.16 standard, which enables the delivery of last wireless broadband access as an alternative to cable and DSL. The objective of this project is to better understand WiMAX system capacity and link budget calculations. System capacity refers to the number of connections that the wireless channel can support without unduly degrading the data services carried on the channel. In this project we will confine the capacity discussion to the OFDM physical layer in order to avoid a lengthy discussion of the additional complications that mobility introduces; including handover and dynamic cell occupancy. Determining the system capacity is very important because it is often prohibitively expensive to later overlay additional wireless capacity into the same coverage area, and without a firm understanding of the system capacity an operator has no way of estimating the recovery time for the up-front costs of deploying the access network, so understanding the system capacity is therefore key to deploying a commercially successful access network. Link budget planning is an essential part of the network planning process for both indoor and outdoor applications. A link budget helps to give dimension to the required coverage, capacity, and quality of service requirement in the network

    IP Based Multimedia Services in Mobile Communications

    No full text
    The objective of this project is to participate in developing IP based multimedia subsystem applications in both server side and client side.Cellular providers are offering multimedia services as a market differentiator and to counteract market saturation. The adoption of multimedia requires a robust infrastructure that can support powerful multimedia applications. To overcome this problem telecommunication developers aim to merge two of the most successful paradigms in communications: cellular networks and the Internet by providing IP based Multimedia services framework. This enables service providers to take advantage of the unique strengths of IP to deliver faster, more flexible, and more cost-effective deployments of new and differentiated multimedia communication services over both mobile and fixed networks. Most of the development efforts are oriented to enable IP Multimedia Subsystem to work with different types of networks (WCDMA, PSTN…etc), and to develop new interactive applications at the server side. More attention should be paid by developers to develop client applications as well as server applications. A simple server application has been developed that can obviate the need to deal with the difficulties associated with the service creation hardware. Signals that trigger the application server have been defined. This server application has been coded using Java language with the help of SDS which is based on Eclipse IDE. Also a client application that enables mobile devices to communicate with IP based networks to perform Voice over IP (VoIP) calls over cellular networks has been created. The client application has been coded with the help of SDS IMS Client Platform (ICP) capabilities. VoIP client application has been tested by configuring a Peer-to-Peer network, with each PC running this application. The results obtained show that the VoIP client application is working properly and is suitable to be deployed
