... In the beginning, IoT relied on traditional technologies such as Bluetooth, Zigbee, Wi-Fi, and so on, which succeeded in providing high-speed and reliable transmissions. On the other hand, they demand high deployment costs and energy consumption, as in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, or they provide short-range coverage of connected devices with lower energy consumption, as in Zigbee and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) [5]. Hence, they do not offer efficient solutions to long-range communication that require the devices to operate at low power in order to live for years [2,4]. ...
The internet of things (IoT) revolutionized human life, whereby a large number of interrelated devices are connected to exchange data in order to accomplish many tasks, leading to the rapid growth of connected devices, reaching the tens of billions. The Low Power Wide Area (LPWA) protocols paradigm has emerged to satisfy the IoT application requirements, especially in terms of long-range communication and low power consumption. However, LPWA technologies still do not completely meet the scalability requirement of IoT applications. The main critical issues are the restrictive duty cycle regulations of the sub-GHz band in which most LPWA technologies operate, as well as the random access to the medium. Ingenu Random Phase Multiple Access (RPMA) is an LPWA technology that uses the 2.4 GHz band that is not subject to the duty cycle constraint. Furthermore, RPMA uses Direct-Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) as a modulation technique; hence, it is an excellent candidate technology for handling scalable LPWA networks. In this paper, we perform mathematical and simulation analysis to assess RPMA scalability and the factors that affect it, especially when all the available channels are used. The results indicate that RPMA has impressive scalability. Indeed, by taking advantage of the multichannel feature in RPMA, the network capacity can be increased by up to 38 times. Aditionally, randomly selecting the Spreading Factors (SF) degrades the network scalability, as working on higher SFs will increase the probability of collision. Thus, we proposed an SF distribution algorithm that ensures effective packet delivery with minimum collision.
... As humanity moves toward the Society 5.0 [1] paradigm and industries move toward the Industry 4.0 [2,3] model, smart devices will become increasingly ubiquitous; it is expected that more than 100 billion such devices will exist by 2050 [4].

The number of smart devices is expected to exceed 100 billion by 2050, and many will feature conversational user interfaces. Thus, methods for generating appropriate prosody for the responses of embodied conversational agents will be very important. This paper presents the results of the “Talk to Kotaro” experiment, which was conducted to better understand how people from different cultural backgrounds react when listening to prosody and phone choices for the IPA symbol-based gibberish speech of the virtual embodied conversational agent Kotaro. It also presents an analysis of the responses to a post-experiment Likert scale questionnaire and the emotions estimated from the participants’ facial expressions, which allowed one to obtain a phone embedding matrix and to conclude that there is no common cross-cultural baseline impression regarding different prosody parameters and that similarly sounding phones are not close in the embedding space. Finally, it also provides the obtained data in a fully anonymous data set.

The increase in electricity consumption coupled with the lack of a convenient way to assist the consumers to lower their electricity consumption is a growing concern. Smart internet of things (IoT)-based devices has been developed in this regard. However, no specific standards were followed, and this is a problem for the consumer as they have to own different smart device from different brands which results in higher cost. To solve these issues, a smart power switch using IoT is proposed. The system consists of microcontroller (ESP32), relay and current sensor (ACS712). The ACS712 measures the current of the appliance. The ESP32 then send these readings to server. Whenever the ESP32 receives switching commands from the cloud platform, ESP32 will activate the relay and hence switching the appliance. The cloud platform is linux based virtual private server (VPS) running on Django Python and structured query language (SQL) ite database. The mobile application built using flutter to allow both iOS and android users to use the app to control and monitor the normal appliances. The server, circuit and mobile application have showed a real-time data exchange, fast response, numerical, graphical consumption presentation and capable of setting energy or power limit for the appliance to not exceed. © 2023 Institute of Advanced Engineering and Science.
