چکیده

To provide sustainable digital agro-advisory services to farmers, seamless flow of information from the farmers to the experts/expert systems, and vice versa is required. The query generated by the farmers, which may contain multimedia data regarding disease or pest attack in the crops is required to be transmitted to the experts for analysis. Further, after analyzing the query, an alert or advice from the expert system is required to be communicated back to the farmers within some tolerable delay. However, in a country like India, network connectivity is extremely poor in several agricultural regions which makes the end-to-end connectivity between the farmers and the expert system intermittent. Therefore, providing agro-advisory services to farmers in a reasonable time becomes a challenge. In this paper, we propose a Delay Tolerant Network (DTN) based relay application model which enables agro-advisory services to farmers located in No-network or Poor-network zones. In the proposed model, end-to-end communication has been enabled with the help of Device to Device (D2D) communication and by introducing mobile relay nodes which can carry the queries (responses), from (to) the poor or no network zones to (from) the zones where communication is possible. Implementation of this model has been presented for the tea farmers of West Bengal and Assam, which can be extended for various other applications in future.

Robust stability of fuzzy Markov type Cohen-Grossberg neural networks by delay decomposition approach

In this paper, we investigate the delay-dependent robust stability of fuzzy Cohen-Grossberg neural networks with Markovian jumping parameter and mixed time varying delays by delay decomposition method. A new Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional (LKF) is constructed by nonuniformly dividing discrete delay interval into multiple subinterval, and choosing proper functionals with different weighting matr...

Where the Network ends: Infrastructure and Delay Tolerant Networks in a Hybrid Future Internet

Traffic carried by mobile networks doubles per year, resulting in congestion and high cost for network upgrades. With the widespread integration of sensing devices with the Internet—in the so-called “Internet of Things”—infrastructurebased networks are becoming an increasingly expensive way of keeping up with communication needs due to the high volume of sensing data. Delay Tolerant Networks pr...
