Fifth-generation(5G) networks are the next level of mobile internet connectivity, offering faster speeds and more reliable connections on mobile smart devices and other devices. Combining cutting-edge network technology and the very latest research, 5G should offer connections that are faster than current connections, with average download speeds of around 1GBps expected to soon be the norm. 2020 will be the year of the fifth generation of telecommunication. Fifth-generation mobile wireless networks will be faster, easily accessible, more reliable. For consumers, the first changes will be faster mobile data speeds - eventually up to 100 times quicker than those of 4G, letting people download full-length movies in seconds. At work, the trend will be greater automation of tasks and digital connectivity, driving a new wave of productivity gains for some industries. This will definitely change our lifestyles in a significant manner. Today the world's economy depends on many things from which one of the backbone business foundation stones is the economical, advanced use of Information Technology in the communication sector with its latest inventions. Information Communication systems have reserved an important space in the trade and economy. In other words, the true value of 5G won’t be limited to phones. Just about every industry that touches our daily lives will be transformed – for the better – by the technology evolution that will define 2020. The networks will help power a huge rise in the Internet of Things technology, providing the infrastructure needed to carry huge amounts of data, allowing for a smarter and more connected world. Other side needs to take a noted disadvantage about 5G connection example: increased bandwidth, raise radio frequency rate.

2. Reduce traffic cause on traffic point/light using image processing

The main objective of traffic jams increased by a number of motor vehicles and an increasing number of city population and development of the city's living style. We need a solution to handle this situation more effectively and usable. The management part of the traffic in Myanmar is using like training and only manual efforts that cannot completely solve this situation state. So, we need to do automatically system to control current traffic and to avoid the congestion of main roads, that we can call the Auto Traffic Control System with Intelligent Computing. This method, the webcam will be used for each of the traffic light in order to take a shot current image of the main roads traffic is bound to occur. These systems will count a total number of vehicles in images and will be calculated using image processing theory and various timings are detected according to the count along with a green signal for vehicles to pass. The simplest way of controlling a traffic light uses a timer for each phase. Another way is to use electronic sensors in order to detect vehicles and produce a signal that cycles. We propose a system for controlling the traffic light by image processing. The system will detect vehicles through images instead of using electronic sensors embedded in the pavement. A camera will be installed alongside the traffic light. It will capture image sequences. Setting the image of an empty road as a reference image, the captured images are sequentially matched using image matching. In these projects, we are building a system to solve the traffic with image processing by using various types of image processing theory, the vehicles can be detected on the basis of which traffic lights can switch.

3. Arduino based tracking system using GPS and GSM

The location tracking system is the combination of the Global Positioning System (GPS) and the Global System Mobile communication (GSM) technologies via the microcontroller. It is used to detect the GPS location of vehicles or any objects which are attached to a tracking device. The proposed system made good use of popular technology that combines a smartphone with an Arduino UNO. GPS is a satellite-based navigation technology that provides accurate location and information. The GSM module is used to transmit and receive an update from the object location to a database. Data from the numerous satellites are received by GPS receiver in the National Marine Electronics Association (NMEA) protocol form. The system SMS contains latitude and longitude of the location of the object. The NMEA code consists of a combination of information. Arduino is linked to the GPS and the GSM module in the serial connection. The GPS receiver sends data to Arduino. Then, Arduino instructs the GSM module to send the location data to the GSM enable device in a short message form. Thus, by using the tracking system, it is easy to calculate and get the estimate location and time for the vehicle to reach a given destination.

9. Replacing same meaning in sentences using natural language understanding

NLP ( Natural Language Processing ) can be used to communicate with computers by means of intelligence methods in a natural language. In other words, it is very useful for classification and analysis. Although there are many natural language syntax analyzers that existed before, it still remains to fulfill the requirements for analyzing English text for English to English Machine Translation. In this paper, we have proposed a chunk based analyzer for English to English Machine Translation System. The keyword search Technique is one of the techniques of Natural Language Understanding. A simple keyword based matching technique is used for classification. Domain-specific dictionaries of keywords are used to reduce the dimensionality of feature space. The output result is that the word matched to a known word will be replaced in the given sentence, which will not be changed the original meaning.

10. Compare the data confidentiality approach to Short Message Services (SMS) using RC4 and AES algorithms

Todays, short messages service (SMS) still represents the foremost used mobile electronic messaging service. SMS messages are employed in many various applications, even in cases wherever safety features, like authentication and confidentiality between the communications, should be ensured. Unfortunately, SMS technology doesn’t give inbuilt support for any safety features. Hence the secured communication on SMS could be a big challenge. In this work, we use the communication between peers is secured by using public-key cryptography. It includes SMS network architecture as well as cryptographic protocols as a theoretical background and it also deals with design, implementation and confidentiality assessment of RC4 stream cipher for SMS data confidentiality on mobile networks. To secure the message, the receiver needs to put a password. In the paper, we compare the RC4 and RSA algorithm for data confidentiality on SMS.

12. Prevention for cancer diseases associated with vegetables

Vegetables are important for human health because of their vitamins, minerals, phytochemical compounds, and dietary fiber content. Especially antioxidant vitamins (vitamins A, vitamins C, and vitamins E) and dietary fiber content have important roles in human health. Adequate vegetable consumption can be protective of some chronic diseases such as diabetes, cancer, obesity, metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular diseases, as well as improve risk factors related to these diseases. Fruits and vegetables are universally promoted as healthy. Fruits and vegetables include a diverse group of plant foods that vary greatly in the content of energy and nutrients. Fruits and vegetables also supply vitamins and minerals to the diet and are sources of phytochemicals that function as antioxidants, phytoestrogens, and antiinflammatory agents and through other protective mechanisms. Multivitamins may slightly reduce the risk of cancer but don’t prevent heart disease. There is a wealth of data available within the health care system. Advanced data mining techniques can help medial situations. The Harvard-Led Physicians Health Study II (PHS II) recently found that taking a multivitamin slightly lowers the risk of being diagnosed with cancer. Fruits and vegetables contain many biologically active ingredients that may help to prevent cancer in ways that vitamins and minerals alone do not. The PHS II was the first study to test a standard multivitamin for the prevention of chronic disease. The cardiovascular disease portion of the study focused on whether taking a multivitamin reduced the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and death from cardiovascular disease. It’s important not to overplay the benefit that PHS II found for preventing cancer. What you eat and don’t eat can have a powerful effect on your health, including your risk for cancer. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to clarify these associations.

13. Text steganography in Letter of Credit (LC) using synonym substitution based algorithm

Text steganography uses text files as carrier files to hide confidential information. The goal of text steganography is to make the hidden data undetectable except the sender and receiver. This paper focuses on semantic-based text steganography. It hides confidential information by replacing words with their synonyms (same meanings). In international trading processes, products are imported and exported between foreign countries, in this case, the sellers and the buyers do not know each other. Therefore, the seller has a number of risks such as credit risk and legal risk caused by the distance. Letter of credit (LC) has been used to solve these risks. In the modern age, LC information has been sent online. Therefore, the security of LC information has become an important role. Most of the bank’s LC information is sent via SWIFT message, email or message formats. Using these types of message does not secure the LC information. This paper implements synonym substitution based algorithm to make confidential LC information more secure. This system is implemented by using Java software development kit (J2SE 7).

14. Information hiding using AES algorithm and audio steganography

Nowadays, information security is a more important topic in ICT and related to all areas. Cryptography is the science that studies a wide range of issues in the transmission and safeguarding of information. Steganography is the art and science of embedding hidden messages in such a way that no one knows the existence of the message in the cover media file. This paper presents a combination of cryptography and steganography to hide information in the cover media file. In the cryptography part, AES algorithm is chosen and the audio file is used as a cover media file in steganography part. In this paper, the information is encrypted firstly and then encrypted texts are hidden into an audio file. The use of one secret key and cover media file is more secure than the use of one secret key. The first key is used for message encryption and the second audio file is applied as cover media file for information hiding.

17. Teaching grammar through communicative language teaching

Learning the English Language is necessary to communicate with each other. This paper is aimed to propose some communicative strategies to motivate the students' interest in learning grammar and to apply the knowledge of grammar in the real world situation. Grammar has been taught since in high schools. But students forget easily and find it difficult to apply that they have learned in real situations up to now. So it is important to have communicative competence in learning grammar. The students in the realm of higher education think that they have already known the forms and uses of grammar. In fact, they do not realize that they often make mistakes in writing a sentence and speaking. In addition, students are not interested in doing exercises on grammar such as filling in the blanks, multiple-choice, matching, questions and answers. So to arouse students' interest and to teach grammar communicatively, appropriate techniques among various methodologies should be used and adopted in English Language Teaching according to the needs and interests of their students. To create this situation, the communicative language teaching strategies are emphasized and communicative activities are added in accordance with the necessities of teaching situation.
