Advances and Trends in Low-Power Logic-Compatible Phase Change Memory (PCM): A Comprehensive Survey Saranyanandhini D, Shanmugasundaram N, Mohan Kumar M, Nandhini M 2026 2nd International Conference on Intelligent Systems for Communication Iot and Security Iciscois 2026, 2026 Phase Change Memory (PCM) is a non-volatile technology which has received significant interest as a next-generation compute in-memory technology and artificial intelligence, as well as a high performance and energy efficient embedded system. This paper contains an in-depth experimental study of lowpower, logic compatible 40 nm PCM cells, principally regarding their reliability, reliability, and compatibility with neuromorphic and artificial intelligence devices. The wide characterization of the devices included endurance cycling, resistance drift experiments, high temperature data retention tests, and variability tests. At 120° C, retention studies indicate that with a heat of more than 120° C a memory life of more than ten years is observed and endurance tests indicates good performance up to 200,000 program/erase cycles with no memory window erosion. The measurements of drift in high resistance and low resistance stages reflect the resistance development that is well controlled and statistical measures confirm narrow distributions that are vital to stable operation and multi-level programming. The potential of PCM arrays is also validated by analysis in binary neural network models, wherein the robustness of the performance of the simulated inference distributions is obtained with simulated noise and unpredictability in the devices. On the whole, the results make low power PCM one of the leaders in embedded and artificial intelligence computing systems that offer scalable integration of the system, a high endurance level, precise programmability, and long term data retention.
Optimized Tree Construction and Clustering-Based Data Aggregation for Heterogeneous Wireless Sensor Networks Using Ford-Fulkerson Algorithm T Kiruthiga, N Shanmugasundaram Journal of Intelligent and Fuzzy Systems, 2025 The use of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) as a key technology for controlling and monitoring a range of applications has been accepted. Heterogeneous WSNs involve nodes with different functions, for instance, nodes with sensing, fusion, and routing duties. To maximize the performance of a heterogeneous WSN, an optimized tree construction and clustering-based data aggregation approach is proposed in this paper. The Ford-Fulkerson algorithm is used to construct an optimized spanning tree with minimum energy consumption. Clusters are then formed in a distributed manner, and data aggregation is performed among the clusters. The suggested strategy is effective, as shown by the simulation results, and adding a reliable optimization method greatly lowers energy usage and enhances network performance. The research provides a clustering-based data aggregation strategy meant to maximize data delivery from heterogeneous WSNs with low-power nodes. The employed technique combines two clustering algorithms, k-means, and fuzzy c-means, to ensure fast and reliable data forwarding among WSNs. The proposed FFA obtained 95.86% energy efficiency, 87.21% QoS, 95.25% transmission rate, 90.13% PDR, 8.86% delay, 96.21% network lifetime, 91.22% throughput, 89.42% scalability and 96.58% Fault Tolerance. The proposed method can significantly reduce energy consumption and communication overhead, improving network efficiency and utilization. This work has the potential to significantly impact the design and operation of wireless sensor networks in various applications.
Cheetah optimized CNN: A bio-inspired neural network for automated diabetic retinopathy detection V. K. U. Ahamed Gani, N. Shanmugasundaram Aip Advances, 2025 The escalating global prevalence of diabetes has underscored the critical need for effective screening and diagnosis of diabetic retinopathy (DR), a common complication of diabetes that can lead to irreversible vision loss. In this study, we propose a novel algorithm for automated DR detection in retinal fundus images using deep learning techniques. The algorithm incorporates a cheetah optimized convolutional neural network (CO-CNN) that draws inspiration from cheetah hunting behavior for efficient image processing, segmentation, feature extraction, and classification. Preprocessing steps involve median filter and contrast limited adaptive histogram equalization to enhance image quality. The segmented output is clustered using the cascaded fuzzy C-means algorithm and features are extracted with the speeded-up robust features algorithm. The experimental results on the Indian Diabetic Retinopathy Image Dataset demonstrate an accuracy of 98.64% in predicting various stages of DR. The proposed CO-CNN approach shows superior performance compared to that of state-of-the-art methods, offering potential applications in telemedicine, treatment planning, early detection, screening, and patient education. Integrating fuzzy logic enhances the model’s interpretability and robustness, paving the way for improved healthcare outcomes in diabetic retinopathy management.

The proposed model is evaluated on the IDRiD and Messidor-2 datasets, demonstrating its robustness across diverse retinal images. Experimental results indicate that our framework achieves an outstanding accuracy of 99.12%, outperforming existing deep learning-based methods in DR detection. The integration of attention mechanisms and optimization techniques significantly enhances the model's reliability and generalization capability. Furthermore, the framework is designed for real-time applications, making it suitable for deployment in clinical settings. The high accuracy and efficiency of our model highlight its potential as a valuable tool for ophthalmologists, aiding in early diagnosis and treatment planning. By automating DR detection, this approach can help reduce the burden on healthcare professionals and improve patient outcomes.

Load based dynamic channel allocation model to enhance the performance of device-to-device communication in WPAN J. Logeshwaran, R. N. Shanmugasundaram, Jaime Lloret Wireless Networks, 2024 The modern communication network has advanced to such an extent that it is now possible for devices within a wireless personal area network (WPAN) to communicate among themselves directly. However, the limited shared radio resources of a WPAN lead to numerous issues, such as cross-layer interference and data collisions, which wind up affecting the quality of communication. A load based dynamic channel allocation (LB-DCA) model has been proposed to enhance the performance of device-to-device communication in WPAN. This model uses several control schemes in collaboration with interference estimation and channel load balancing mechanisms to allocate and manage the radio resources efficiently. The objective of this model is to achieve high throughput, low interference and low energy consumption. The control schemes implemented are based on distributed coordination and a cell-splitting approach. These schemes are utilized to estimate the channel usage and number of active nodes in a network. The interference estimation is done by using a new efficiency formula. Further, channel load balancing takes into account the hops and load factor values. The proposed model obtained 98.58% CSI, 95.86% MCC, 96.35% delta-P, 97.96% FMI, 99.83% BMI, 21.52% enhanced spectrum efficiency, 16.38% enhanced scalability, 18.79% enhanced signal quality, 18.64% enhanced power control and 18.89% enhanced energy efficiency.
Accessing the Performance of K-Medoid, K-Means and FCM Clustering Techniques for Wireless Sensor Networks N. Thiyagarajan, N. Shanmugasundaram Indiscon 2024 5th IEEE India Council International Subsections Conference Science Technology and Society, 2024 The real-time data collection and monitoring process demands Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) as a pivotal technology that employs randomly distributed battery-operated sensor modules to facilitate seamless data transmission from remote and often hostile environments. The versatility of WSNs extends across various domains, including monitoring of smart cities. By harnessing the power of WSNs, we can optimise processes, enhance productivity, and mitigate risks more effectively. Clustering is the widely discussed concrete part of the energy mitigating process. We wish to evaluate the clustering in WSN with the Fuzzy C-Means Clustering, K-medoid clustering, and K-means. The clustering process was analysed with the estimation of the silhouette score. In order to assess their performance, numerous simulations are conducted in the MATLAB environment. Furthermore, we discussed their mean silhouette score, clustering ability for different scenarios in WSN.
Energy-efficient resource allocation model for device-to-device communication in 5G wireless personal area networks Jaganathan Logeshwaran, Nallasamy Shanmugasundaram, Jaime Lloret International Journal of Communication Systems, 2023 SummaryIn general, there are several many devices that can overload the network and reduce performance. Devices can minimize interference and optimize bandwidth usage by using directional antennas and by avoiding overlapping communication ranges. In addition, devices need to carefully manage their use of resources, such as bandwidth and energy. Bandwidth is limited in wireless personal area networks (WPANs), so devices need to carefully select which data to send and receive. In this paper, an intelligent performance analysis of energy‐efficient resource optimization model has been proposed for device‐to‐device (D2D) communication in fifth‐generation (5G) WPAN. The proposed energy‐efficient resource allocation in D2D communication is important because it helps reduce energy consumption and extend the lifespan of devices that are communicating with each other. By allocating resources in an efficient manner, communication between two devices can be optimized for maximum efficiency. This helps reduce the amount of energy needed to power the communication, as well as the amount of energy needed to power the device that is communicating with another device. Additionally, efficient resource allocation helps reduce the overall cost of communication, as the use of fewer resources results in a lower overall cost. The proposed efficient resource allocation helps reduce the environmental impact of communication, as less energy is used for communication. The proposed energy‐efficient resource allocation model (EERAM) has reached 92.97% of energy allocation, 88.72% of power allocation, 87.79% of bandwidth allocation, 87.93% of spectrum allocation, 88.43% of channel allocation, 25.47% of end‐to‐end delay, 94.33% of network data speed, and 90.99% of network throughput.
L-RUBI: An efficient load-based resource utilization algorithm for bi-partite scatternet in wireless personal area networks Jaganathan Logeshwaran, Nallasamy Shanmugasundaram, Jaime Lloret International Journal of Communication Systems, 2023 SummaryRecently, much of the wireless personal area network (WPAN) research concerns network protocols, scheduling, and security challenges but the major issue of resource utilization has been very rarely investigated. The design of resource sharing in a network gets more attention when the number of users increases. While optimizing performance, resource utilization plays a critical role. In this paper, the numerical performance of a wireless resource utilization algorithm for a bi‐partite scatternet is presented. This algorithm is focused to enhance the bandwidth allocation and power utilization of wireless scatternets. Every node can communicate with a single neighbor at a time with minimum resources. Finally, the performances of the RUBI algorithm are shown. This algorithm is compared with the existing algorithms such as the load adaptive scheduling algorithm and pseudorandom coordinated scheduling scheme in terms of various parametric metrics like reliability, throughput, collision probability, transmission probability, and signal‐to‐noise ratio (SINR). The proposed L‐RUBI achieves 93.4% of reliability, 93.6% of transmission probability, 91.4% of throughput, 76.8% of collision performance, and 72.2% SINR.
