It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the 5th edition of the successful workshop on the Internet of Things: Smart Objects and Services (IoT-SoS), which is organized this year in conjunction with WoWMoM 2016. The main focus of this wokshop is to bring together experts from the research community, the industry and standardisation bodies and discuss in the context of heterogeneous networking technologies...
Welcome to Coimbra—home to the oldest university in Portugal and one of the oldest in the world, dating back from 1290—and welcome to the IEEE International Symposium on a World of Wireless, Mobile and Multimedia Networks (WoWMoM), the intellectual hub and melting pot of ideas from researchers and practitioners interested in all aspects of wireless, mobile, and multimedia pervasive communications...
It is our pleasure to introduce the 2016 WoWMoM workshop program. This year's four WoWMoM workshops feature a wide range of topics in various emerging research areas in the field of wireless, mobile and multimedia networks. As the integral part of the main conference, the purpose of the workshops is to provide a less formal and more focused forum where novel and stimulating ideas and experiences are...
It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the Fourth IEEE International Workshop on Emerging COgnitive Radio Applications and aLgorithms (CORAL 2016), held in Coimbra, Portugal on June 21, 2016, in conjunction with the IEEE WoWMoM 2016 Conference.
It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the 3rd IEEE Workshop on Smart Vehicles: Connectivity Technologies and ITS Applications (SmartVehicles'16), which is held in conjunction with the 13th IEEE International Symposium on a World of Wireless Mobile and Multimedia Networks (WoWMoM'16). The aim of this workshop is to bring together academics, industry professionals, and application developers to...
The personal cloud, a virtual compute instance controlled by an individual, is becoming inevitable. We believe that the current interoperability and communications evolution will drive the adoption of personal clouds. In order to provide personal cloud interoperability, we propose an end to end authentication mechanism based on JSON Web Tokens (JWT) and the blockchain. JWTs are a standardized container...
Due to the tremendous increase in traffic demand, current mobile access and backhaul networks face a capacity problem. To increase the capacity, one can deploy many small cells, which may be dynamically powered on where traffic demand arises. As a consequence, the backhaul network for dense small cell deployments needs to cope with the massive increase in user demands but rolling out fiber to each...
The use of Mobile Devices for electronic payment has increased significantly in the last decade. Near Field Communication (NFC) mobile payment is gaining popularity and it is widely considered to be the technology that will turn smartphones into m-wallets. While a typical wallet contains identification, loyalty, public transport and credit cards, m-wallet solutions currently have well-defined standards...
Mobile broadband (MBB) networks underpin numerous vital operations of the society and are arguably becoming the most important piece of the communications infrastructure. In this demo paper, our goal is to showcase the potential of a novel multi-homed MBB platform for measuring, monitoring and assessing the performance of MBB services in an objective manner. Our platform, MONROE, is composed of hundreds...
With the increasing adoption of mobile 4G LTE networks, video streaming as the major contributor of 4G LTE data traffic, has become extremely hot. However, the battery life has become the bottleneck when mobile users are using online video services. In this paper, we deploy a real mobile system for power measurement and profiling of online video streaming in 4G LTE networks. Based on some designed...
The deployment of dense networks of Small Cells (SC) is one of the key components of 5G mobile networks and will pose several challenges to the backhaul network. Software-Defined Networking (SDN) is a key technique to cope with the increased management complexity of such heterogeneous deployments, helping in the task of achieving a system-wide network management, which includes the 5G mobile wireless...
User-generated content, such as short video snippets or tweets, is increasingly used in event coverage even by professional media outlets. Especially in unforeseen events, or when dealing with large crowds, these snippets provide unique perspectives on the scene. While uploading a tweet does not impose much load on the communication system, uploading live video at today's camera resolutions consumes...
Today's video streaming services utilize widely adaptive streaming techniques implemented over HTTP. While the approach is robust and compatible with today's internet architecture, middleboxes, and CDNs, it leaves several places for optimization. This paper proposes enhancements to the video bitrate adaptation solution of adaptive HTTP streaming by defining two network-assisted adaptation approaches...
Although the physical transmission rate increases rapidly, the quality of service (QoS) support for real-time traffic remains a challenge. 802.11 EDCA can only provide service differentiation, but not ensure the QoS as expected because of the restrained real-time traffic capacity and the uncertainty of prioritized access. This paper proposes a distributed MAC protocol called the Prioritized Access...
The last few years have seen an enormous growth in the usage of smart phones and this trend is expected to continue in the near future with increased processing power and larger form factors. This explosive growth has contributed to an unprecedented adoption of mobile data services and increase in data usage. The demand is also driving the development of next generation networks to support novel data...
