This work presents two-rank (Wi-Fi and LTE) analytical model, from which we can evaluate the goodput of vehicular wireless network depending on the number of vehicles N in the access point (AP) coverage area. To evaluate the suitability of the model used, experimental data are compared with the theoretically calculated data. The results obtained allow us to evaluate the performance of each individual...
To alleviate the pressure brought by the explosion of mobile video traffic on present cellular networks, small cell base stations (SBS) with caching ability are introduced. In this paper, we consider the caching strategy using network coding for mobile users over heterogeneous wireless network containing SBSs. We formulate an integer programming problem to minimize the average number of packets downloaded...
We investigate the impact of mobility on energy consumption in mobile Ad hoc networks in this paper. Considering a cell-partitioned model of a delay-tolerant mobile ad hoc network with Markovian mobility, we focus on that the communication only occurs in the same cell or the adjacent cell. In this model, we characterize the mobility which have an influence on energy consumption as the nodes' maximum...
In this work we investigate the performance of Ad-hoc on-demand distance vector routing (AODV), Dynamic source routing (DSR), Temporary ordered routing (TORA), Optimized link state routing (OLSR) and Geographic routing (GRP) protocols in wireless ad-hoc networks by using OPNET simulation program. In ad-hoc networks consisting of fixed and mobile stations, routing protocols are compared for different...
Wireless networks have gone through several years of evolution until now and will continue to do so in order to cater for the varying needs of users. These demands are expected to grow in the future, both in size and variability. Hence, the 5G technology considers these variabilities in service demands and potential data explosion which could accompany users' demands at the core of its architecture...
A Mobile Patient Monitoring System (MPMS) acquires patient's biosignals and transmits them using wireless network connection to the decision making module or healthcare professional for the assessment of patient's condition. An important research challenge in the MPMS is how to satisfy Quality of Service (QoS) requirements of biosignals delivery in the environment characterized by patient mobility,...
Today's internet has witnessed a fast growth of mobile video streaming. Different from traditional PC/laptop-based video streaming, mobile video streaming relies on the usage of mobile devices and wireless networks, allowing people to receive video content on the move. The change has challenged traditional video content delivery, which uses centralized infrastructure (e.g., CDN) inside the network...
The Internet is increasingly considered an essential and integral part of people's lives. With its massification and the constant increase of the bandwidth offered to the consumers, services like Over-The-Top (OTT) have grown in recent years - e.g. YouTube and Netflix. OTT services refer to the delivery of audio, video and other data over the Internet without network operators' control. This trend...
Device-to-Device (D2D) communication has drawn great interest in academia and industries due to the extended network coverage and reduction of the restrictions of traditional cellular systems. On the other hand, a new paradigm called content-centric networking (CCN) has been proposed for scalable, flexible, and secure services in the future networks. With CCN, it is possible to increase the throughput...
Named Data Networking (NDN) is a future Internet architecture suitable for Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs), since it provides solutions to frequent topology changes in VANETs. In NDN messages are exchanged according to their content and not to the location of the hosts. SDN provides centralized network control. This paper presents use cases for vehicular NDN scenarios, where SDN is a suitable solution...
In this paper, a novel multi-bit simultaneous query technique, called the Coherent Analog Bloom Filter (CABF), is proposed for wireless networks. CABF allows the Access Point (AP) of the network to gather multiple bits of key information from nodes in the network simultaneously, such as the identities of the active nodes and the data packet sizes. With CABF, the nodes transmit signals on selected...
Classical control and management plane for computer networks is addressing individual parameters of protocol layers within an individual wireless network device. We argue that this is not sufficient in phase of increasing deployment of highly re-configurable systems, as well as heterogeneous wireless devices co-existing in the same radio spectrum. They demand harmonized, frequently even coordinated...
Wireless networks can be categorized into infrastructure and infrastructure-less based on the network formation and architecture. Mobile Ad-hoc Networks are infrastructure-less networks with self-configuring property having a dynamic topology where nodes are free to move in any direction, due to this topological changes there are increased chances of link breaks in the network giving rise to path...
The Heterogeneous Wireless Network is a hierarchical structure of different wireless networks. The wireless networks are differ in terms of network coverage, capacity, bandwidth, technology and network operator. In such an environment when a mobile terminal equipped with multiple network interfaces leaves one wireless network and connect to another different wireless network, a Vertical Handoff (VHO)...
This is a brief reflexion on the life and personality of abeloved colleague, Professor Ivan Stojmenović, who left usin 2014. His achievements, his students, and the scientificand personal relationships he built will impact our community for a long time.
Caching popular contents in the storage of users is deemed as an efficient approach to increase energy efficiency, decrease latency, as well as offload backhauls. Due to the mobility feature of use terminals in the real environment, the analysis of successful transmission is particular important in mobile networks. In this paper, the position of cache-enabled users are distributed as a Homogeneous...
We investigate in this paper the assessment of the energy efficiency of a wireless access network per service category. We consider five categories of service, two categories with high traffic: streaming and web browsing, and three other with lower traffic: download, voice and other minor data services. We introduce two scenarios, one where some services are mandatory, it is typically the case of...
We study the problem of serving randomly arriving and delay-sensitive traffic over a multi-channel communication system with time-varying channel states and unknown statistics. This problem deviates from the classical exploration-exploitation setting in that the design and analysis must accommodate the dynamics of packet availability and urgency as well as the cost of each channel use at the time...
Mobile crowd sensing has found a variety of applications (e.g., spectrum sensing, environmental monitoring) by leveraging the "wisdom" of a potentially large crowd of mobile users. An important metric of a crowd sensing task is data accuracy, which relies on the qualities of the participating users' data (e.g., users' received SNRs for measuring a transmitter's transmit signal strength)...
We consider network utility maximization problems over heterogeneous cellular networks (HetNets) that permit dual connectivity. Dual connectivity (DC) is a feature that targets emerging practical HetNet deployments that will comprise of non-ideal (higher latency) connections between transmission nodes, and has been recently introduced to the LTE-Advanced standard. DC allows for a user to be simultaneously...
