About this Series
“Lecture Notes in Electrical Engineering (LNEE)” is a book series which reports
the latest research and developments in Electrical Engineering, namely:
(cid:129) Communication, Networks, and Information Theory
(cid:129) Computer Engineering
(cid:129) Signal, Image, Speech and Information Processing
(cid:129) Circuits and Systems
(cid:129) Bioengineering
LNEE publishes authored monographs and contributed volumes which present
cutting edge research information as well as new perspectives on classical fields,
while maintaining Springer’s high standards of academic excellence. Also
considered for publication are lecture materials, proceedings, and other related
materials of exceptionally high quality and interest. The subject matter should be
original and timely, reporting the latest research and developments in all areas of
electrical engineering.
The audience for the books in LNEE consists of advanced level students,
researchers,andindustryprofessionalsworkingattheforefrontoftheirfields.Much
like Springer’s other Lecture Notes series, LNEE will be distributed through
Springer’s print and electronic publishing channels.

Preface
ThefirstInternationalConferenceonEmergingTrendsinElectrical,Electronicand
Communications Engineering (ELECOM 2016) was held in Mauritius during 25–
27November2016.Themainthemeofthisconferencewas“AdvancesinResearch
Through Innovative Technologies” which covered a wide spectrum of theoretical
and applied issues in electrical, electronic, communications engineering and
computing/IT.Themainobjectiveofthisconference wastoprovideaplatformfor
researchers to interact and present high-calibre research. The participants shared
their expertise, discussed areas for collaboration and presented their latest findings
and innovations.
ELECOM2016wasorganisedbytheUniversityofMauritius,aleadingtertiary
education institution. The event received positive responses from a multitude of
stakeholders including public and private sectors, local and international universi-
ties and research institutions. Twenty eight papers were accepted following a rig-
orousblindreviewprocessandallpaperswerescreenedusingTurnitin.Inaddition
to the accepted papers, the present proceeding includes three invited papers by
prominent researchers. There were three keynote addresses by the following
experts: Prof. Michael Faulkner from the Victoria University gave a keynote
address on the fifth generation frontier, mm-waves; Prof. Miloud Bessafi from
UniversityofReunionIslandgaveakeynoteaddressonthehighspatialresolution
mapping of the monthly climatology of global solar radiation observed in
Mauritius; Prof. Krishna K. Busawon from the Northumbria University gave a
keynote address on the design and implementation of chaos based communication
systems.
This book contains a selection of revised manuscripts presented at ELECOM
2016 within the four main conference themes, which are electrical engineering,
electronic engineering, communications engineering and computing/IT. This book
coversvariousaspectsofadvancedelectricalandcommunications engineeringand
computing.

Message from Honorary Chair
It is my great pleasure to welcome you to the first International Conference on
Emerging Trends in Electrical, Electronic and Communications Engineering
(ELECOM2016),heldinMauritius,avolcanicislandoflagoonsandpalm-fringed
beaches with coral reefs surrounding most of the coastline. Mauritius is a multi-
cultural nation, known for its dreaming beaches, lagoons and reefs with colourful
mountainous and rainforests, waterfalls, hiking trails and wildlife yet carrying a
long history of cultural and social changes.
Theconference, heldduringNovember25–27,2016,isapremierforumforthe
exchange ofideas,openanddirectdiscussioninthefields ofelectrical, electronics
andcommunicationengineeringaswellascomputing/IT,anditsrelateddisciplines.
It attracted high-quality and impact research articles in science and technology
which were peer reviewed by eminent scholars. Therefore, these proceedings
include rigorously peer-reviewed articles submitted by research scholars from all
over the world reflecting the conference value as an international event. We were
also pleased to see the broad range of subjects addressed in these submissions
which covered the conference themes.
I wish to use this opportunity to express my appreciation to the excellent
OrganisingTeam,ProgramCommitteeMembersandreviewersfortheirhardwork
andvaluablecontribution.Certainly,ELECOMwouldnothavetakenplacewithout
such an outstanding effort.
In addition, the conference was graced by outstanding keynote speeches deliv-
ered by international expert guest speakers.
Itrustthatthisconferencehasstartedonaverysolidfoundationandindeedthe
forthcoming editions of this conference will have an even greater impact while
significantlyextendtheirreachtotheinternationalcommunityintherelatedfields.
