The development of a protocol simulator for active learning

Abstract

The development of a first-year module in communications protocols is described, employing active learning techniques enabled by a new protocol simulator designed for education. The simulator has a simple graphical user interface and is designed for ease of use, rather than speed or flexibility. Protocols can be programmed in a version of C and run from the graphical user interface with no requirement to use an objectoriented programming language or scripting language. The simulator and the active learning approach has proved popular and robust and allows problem-based learning techniques, whereby students invent and test their own protocols, to be used at an early stage in the degree.

RETRACTED: Green corridor: A self-learning and educating algorithm for engineers (industry/students) to send data in emergency situations through wireless sensor network

“…The estimates of link quality create the negative/positive reward depending upon the parameters like received signal strength indication, acknowledgement, timestamp, transmitted or received packets along with sequence number. The residual energy calculation 11 works in the following manner…”

“…To check the status of network traffic, every node shall check the buffer size at the time whenever a new packet arrives by the convex-hull path. The packet acceptance rate kar is as follows 11) where kip represents the ratio of incoming packets through neighbour nodes and kgp is the packets generation rate. The number of packets forwarded per time is being represented by kfr.…”

“…In this research study, our primary task is to send emergency data safely which is highly beneficial for engineers (industry/students) in real-time applications and self-learning purpose. 10,11 This can be achieved by using MDP, 12 convex-hull algorithm 13 and reinforcement learning. 7,9,14 Real-time application issue and our contribution It was evident that the nodes are often deployed randomly like mesh topology.…”
