Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is a superior technology for the high-speed data rate of wire-line and wireless communication systems. The OFDM has many advantages over other techniques such as its high capacity and immunity against multipath fading channels. However, one of the main drawbacks of the OFDM system is the high-peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) that leads the system to produce in-band distortion and out-of-band radiation because of the non-linearity of the high-power amplifiers. Therefore, numerous techniques have been proposed to overcome the PAPR problem such as selective mapping, partial transmit sequence (PTS), clipping, and nonlinear companding. In this paper, the PTS technique was analytically reviewed as one of the important methods to reduce the high PAPR problem. The PAPR performance and the computational complexity level are discussed in terms of modifying the PTS technique in the frequency domain, time domain, and modulation stage (Inverse Fast Fourier Transform block). Moreover, the numerical statistic comparison of the current modified-PTS methods is introduced, and the criteria for selecting the suitable modified-PTS method in the OFDM system is also given. The simulation and the numerical calculations results show that the rows exchange-interleaving PTS (IL-Ex-PTS) scheme is the best method for reducing the PAPR value with low complexly in the frequency domain, and the cooperative PTS (CO-PTS) method is the best among the modulation stage methods, while the cyclic shift sequence PTS (CSS-PTS) method achieves the superior performance in PAPR reduction and computational complexity for the time domain methods.

The sixth generation (6G) wireless communication network presents itself as a promising technique that can be utilized to provide a fully data-driven network evaluating and optimizing the end-to-end behavior and big volumes of a real-time network within a data rate of Tb/s. In addition, 6G adopts an average of 1000+ massive number of connections per person in one decade (2030 virtually instantaneously). The data-driven network is a novel service paradigm that offers a new application for the future of 6G wireless communication and network architecture. It enables ultra-reliable and low latency communication (URLLC) enhancing information transmission up to around 1 Tb/s data rate while achieving a 0.1 millisecond transmission latency. The main limitation of this technique is the computational power available for distributing with big data and greatly designed artificial neural networks. The work carried out in this paper aims to highlight improvements to the multi-level architecture by enabling artificial intelligence (AI) in URLLC providing a new technique in designing wireless networks. This is done through the application of learning, predicting, and decision-making to manage the stream of individuals trained by big data. The secondary aim of this research paper is to improve a multi-level architecture. This enables user level for device intelligence, cell level for edge intelligence, and cloud intelligence for URLLC. The improvement mainly depends on using the training process in unsupervised learning by developing data-driven resource management. In addition, improving a multi-level architecture for URLLC through deep learning (DL) would facilitate the creation of a data-driven AI system, 6G networks for intelligent devices, and technologies based on an effective learning capability. These investigational problems are essential in addressing the requirements in the creation of future smart networks. Moreover, this work provides further ideas on several research gaps between DL and 6G that are up-to-date unknown.

High-performance Induction Motor (IM) drives require fast dynamic responses, robust to parameter variations, withstand load disturbance, stable control systems and support easy hardware/software implementation. Fuzzy Logic Control (FLC) for speed controllers is garnering attention from researchers since it is proven to produce better results compared to conventional PI speed controllers. However, fixed parameter FLC experience performance degradation when the system operates away from the design point, or is affected by parameter variations or load disturbances. The purpose of this paper is to design and implement a simple Self-Tuning Fuzzy Logic Controller (ST-FLC) for IM drives application. The proposed self-tuning mechanism is able to adjust the output scaling factor of the main FLC speed controller by improving the accuracy of the crisp output. The induction motor drive employed an Indirect Field Oriented Control (IFOC) method fed by a Hysteresis Current Controller (HCC). The fixed parameter FLC for the main speed controller comprises 9 rules that are tuned to achieve the best performance. Then a simple self-tuning mechanism is applied to the main fuzzy logic speed controller. All simulation work was done using Simulink and fuzzy tools in the MATLAB software. The effectiveness of the proposed controller was investigated by conducting a comparative analysis between fixed parameter FLC and ST-FLC in forward and reverse speed operations, with and without load disturbances. Finally, an experimental testing was carried out to validate the simulation results with the aid of a digital signal controller board, dSPACE DS1104, with an induction motor drive system. Based on the results, ST-FLC showed superior performance in transient and steady state conditions in terms of various performance measures such as overshoot, rise time, settling time and recovery time.

The energy consumption and coverage range of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are major challenges in UAV-based postdisaster communications. To address these challenges, energy harvesting is employed to power communication devices and prolong the lifetime of the wireless communication network during a disaster. In addition, clustering techniques and device-to-device (D2D) communication are needed to increase the overall network coverage and provide sustainable connectivity during the disaster and postdisaster phases. We have proposed a novel emergency communication system (ECS) using the optimal cluster head (CH) technique to improve the energy transfer efficiency for sustainable network connectivity. We have developed a UAV deployment model assisted by the clustering technique and D2D links that is capable of harvesting energy to increase the network lifetime. This new approach is expected to enhance the reliability of the network in disaster situations. The proposed methods have been evaluated by measuring the energy efficiency performance and the network outage probability. The simulation results demonstrate improved performance with the deployment of optimal CHs, while the outage probability has been effectively reduced. Moreover, the proposed approach has been proven to reduce the computational complexity. In conclusion, UAV deployment with the optimal CH algorithm is a suitable network design to recover from natural disasters and potentially save many lives.

Due to Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV s) limitations in processing power and battery lifetime. The tethered UAV (TUAV) offers an attractive approach to answer these shortcomings. Since a tethered connected to UAV is one potential energy solution to provide a stable power supply that connects to the ground would achieve impressive performances in smart environments and disaster recovery. The proposed solution is intended to provide stable energy and increase the coverage area of TUAV for smart environments and disaster recovery. This paper proposed that the tethered connected to UAV will provide the continuous supply and exchange the data with ground terminals. Besides the adjustable tether length, elevation angels act to increase the hovering region, leading to the scalability of coverage in many applications. Moreover, the power consumption and transmission distance while achieving a trade-off between the hovering and coverage probabilities. The simulation results demonstrate efficient performance in terms of line-of-sight probability, path loss, and coverage probability for scalability coverage smart environments and disaster recovery scenarios. Furthermore, maximum coverage probability is achieved versus increased tethered length because of the gain and fly over a region of maximum tethered.
