A Comprehensive Analysis on Network Slicing for Resource Allocation of 5G
(Department of Electrical and Elecrtonics Engineering(EEE), Islamic University of Technology(IUT), Board Bazar, Gazipur-1704, Bangladesh, 2024-06-25) Akanda, A. G. M. Fuad Hasan; Khan, Rayan Hossain; Saqib, Shadman
Optimizing resource allocation in 5G networks involves reconciling the conflicting requirements of enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB), massive Machine Type Communications (mMTC), and Ultra-Reliable Low Latency Communications (URLLC). eMBB demands high data rates and substantial bandwidth to support applications such as high-definition video streaming and virtual reality. In contrast, mMTC requires the network to support a massive number of low-power, low-data-rate devices, essential for the Internet of Things (IoT). URLLC poses the additional challenge of requiring ultra-low latency and high reliability for critical applications such as autonomous driving and remote surgery. Advanced machine learning techniques, specifically Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks, were utilized to develop prediction models. The CNN model achieved an impressive accuracy of 97% in predicting network slice allocations, while the LSTM model demonstrated a remarkable 97-98% accuracy in time series forecasting. Key achievements include enhanced model performance through meticulous hyperparameter tuning and data augmentation, which improved the model's robustness and generalization across diverse data scenarios. Processing time was significantly reduced by implementing early stopping and batch normalization techniques, accelerating model convergence and deployment. Additionally, optimized load scheduling ensured balanced workload distribution across the network, enhancing overall system performance and reducing latency. This comprehensive approach addresses the diverse and stringent demands of 5G services, demonstrating a robust, efficient, and scalable framework for 5G network resource allocation. This research ensures improved network performance and reliability, effectively meeting the varied requirements of eMBB, mMTC, and URLLC, thereby contributing to the advancement of next-generation wireless communications.
The role of poultry and fish feed industry in shaping Bangladesh’s economic triumph
(BRAC University, 2022-01) Saqib, Shadman; Choudhury, Ahmed Abir
In terms of population density, Bangladesh is tipped towards the higher side of the scale. Bangladesh has a population of 164.7 million people living within the area of 1,43,000 km2. In such a densely populated country, poultry industry has become an irreplaceable platform for having heavy contribution in the economy, generating quick profit, creating local and national employment, and producing cheaper and affordable animal protein. Poultry, cattle and fish have become inseparable part of Bangladesh’s agro-based economy and the rural livelihood. But what we usually don’t observe is that this industry is actually divided into two sectors. The other lucrative sector of this industry is the poultry feed industry. Usually, the chicken and fish farms are the face of the poultry industry of Bangladesh. The main reason behind this is that these farms produce and provide finished and consumable goods. Consumers like the general public purchase or collect meat, eggs and fish from these firms to consume them as food and fresh source of protein. Customers like restaurants and other businesses take the same products as raw ingredients for various tasty dishes or as packaged frozen goods. But in order to breed these chicken and fishes the farms need to feed the quality and nutritious food. And that is where poultry feed industry comes in. They produce and provide notorious feed for chickens, fishes and cattle and sells them to the poultry farmers. By doing so, not only they ensure health growth of these poultry animal but also ensure production of affordable high quality protein for everyone. In the middle of all this the poultry feed industry ensures a massive profit. This allows the industry to strongly uphold the agricultural sector but also contributes a huge deal to the national economy. In order to pinpoint how important and resourceful this sector is for the country I have conducted this study. The study was conducted while working in Paragon Group, one of the pioneer companies of the industry. By conducting interviews and personally dealing with many personals and experts of the industry, I was successful in shading light on important factors like what can be the organizational structure of an organization like Paragon Group operating within the poultry feed industry, what are some other organization with in the industry and the division or market share, pre and post pandemic market condition, what marketing strategies are being applied to tackle with the new normal. Were they successful or not, and how Paragon Group and companies alike are enriching the industry and the national economy. Detailed information is given in the report.
