Abstract The RPL (IPv6 Routing Protocol for Low-Power and Lossy Networks) protocol is essential for efficient communication within the Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem. Despite its significance, RPL’s susceptibility to attacks remains a concern. This paper presents a comprehensive simulation-based analysis of the RPL protocol’s vulnerability to the decreased rank attack in both static and mobile network environments. We employ the Random Direction Mobility Model (RDM) for mobile scenarios within the Cooja simulator. Our systematic evaluation focuses on critical performance metrics, including Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR), Average End to End Delay (AE2ED), throughput, Expected Transmission Count (ETX), and Average Power Consumption… More >

Abstract Water jets are widely used in seabed scouring and desilting applications. In the present work, dedicated tests have been conducted using a jet scour model test platform and sand beds containing grains with different sizes. The FLOW-3D simulation software has also been used to tackle the problem form a numerical point of view. The boundary conditions of the simulation have been optimized to reduce the gap between the numerical results and the outcomes of the experimental tests. Scour area calculation has been based on a RNG k-ε Turbulence model. Moreover, the FAVOR (Fractional Area Volume Obstacle Representation) technology has been… More >

Abstract Currently, the number of functions to improve user convenience in smartphone applications is increasing. In addition, more mobile applications are being loaded into mobile operating system memory for faster launches, thus increasing the memory requirements for smartphones. The memory used by applications in mobile operating systems is managed using software; allocated memory is freed up by either considering the usage state of the application or terminating the least recently used (LRU) application. As LRU-based memory management schemes do not consider the application launch frequency in a low memory situation, currently used mobile operating systems can lead to the termination of… More >
