Purpose: To examine the status and priorities for agricultural information generation, dissemination and utilization in the context of agricultural innovation systems in southeast Uganda. Design/Methodology/Approach: Group discussions were conducted with six communities in Kamuli district, southeast Uganda. The focus was on information sources and linkages, reliability, applicability and gaps. ...

Reliable communication is the backbone of advanced metering infrastructure (AMI). Within the AMI, the neighbourhood area network (NAN) transports a multitude of traffic, each with unique requirements. In order to deliver an acceptable level of reliability and latency, the underlying network, such as the wireless mesh network (WMN), must provide or guarantee the quality-of-service (QoS) level re...

To wireless communication, it is easy to be interrupted by all sorts of factors, such as, antenna direction, transmission power, distance, nodes voltage and so on. And the reliable transmission of data is the key problem for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) in recent years. In former research, there are many methods which can ensure data reliable transmission, but can not choose the best performa...

The reliability, scalability, and stability of routing schemes are open challenges in highly evolving vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs). Cluster-based is an efficient solution to cope with the dynamic inconsistent structure VANETs. In this paper, we propose a cluster-based scheme (hereinafter referred as connectivity-based clustering), where link connectivity used metric for cluster formation ...

Link prediction is a challenging problem for complex network analysis, arising in many disciplines such as social networks and telecommunication networks. Currently, many existing approaches estimate the proximity of the link endpoints from the local neighborhood around them for link prediction, which suffer from the localized view of network connections. In this paper, we consider the problem ...

The fifth generation of communication technology (5G) revolutionizes mobile networks and the associated ecosystems through the integration of cross-domain networks. Network slicing is an enabling technology for 5G as it provides dynamic, on-demand, and reliable logical network slices (i.e., network services) over a common physical network/infrastructure. Since a network slice is subject to fail...
