The paper discusses a solution to allow permanent access to a cloud for the devices in mobile wireless sensor networks. Concepts like Dew Computing DC distributes the cloud infrastructure but has a lack of mobility. Seamless connectivity for applications and services is ensured by implementing a mobility system over different access technologies relying on dynamic context-based routing mechanism in...
Over the past few years, Mobile Ad hoc net-works(MANETs) have gained importance in mission critical environments. Software defined radios(SDRs) have provided MANETs a platform for using Narrowband networking wave-form(NBNW) for concurrent voice and data transmissions. Traditional TDMA MAC protocols are not appropriate for such applications. In this paper we have proposed a distributed TDMA slot assignment...
The Crowdsensing-based systems using mobile technology create a new kind of collective intelligence in a sensing environment mediated by ICTs. On the other hand, ICTs and social networks contribute to the emergence of virtual communities. The interaction among participants can create dynamically groups from a previously known platform where all participants perform tasks and solve problems in a specific...
The convergence of mobile communication networks based on technologies mainly like UMTS, LTE, WLAN and WiMAX referred to as Next Generation Networks (NGN) results in a heterogeneous environment. NGN enlarges the number of the network points of attachment (PoA) with overlapping coverage, which increases the actuality of the network selection problem. At the same time, the variety of mobile multimedia...
Next generation technologies are being tried to develop for 5G wireless cellular networks nowadays by many researchers. Some key technologies provide significant improvements for 5G systems in terms of huge capacity, higher data rate, signaling overhead on the network and energy-spectral efficiency. etc., But these technologies also bring along critical challenges for 5G systems. In this study, these...
As a meaningful and typical application scenario of Internet of Things (IoT), Internet of Vehicles (IoV) has attracted a lot of attentions to solve the increasingly severe problem of traffic congestion and safety issues in smart city. Information-centric networks (ICN) is a main stream of next generation network because of its content based forwarding strategy and in-network caching properties. Many...
The aim of this work is to detect diseases that occur on plants in tomato fields or in their greenhouses. For this purpose, deep learning was used to detect the various diseases on the leaves of tomato plants. In the study, it was aimed that the deep learning algorithm should be run in real time on the robot. So the robot will be able to detect the diseases of the plants while wandering manually or...
Edge computing is a recent paradigm where network nodes are placed close to the end users, at the edge of the network. Efficient management of resources within this configuration is crucial due to scarcity and geographical spreading of edge resources. We begin by a brief description of the edge paradigm, the most generic edge architecture, and the terminology associated to it. Then, we propose and...
In this paper we explore the problem of providing selective read/write access to the outsourced data for clients using mobile devices in an environment that supports users from multiple domains and where attributes are generated by multiple authorities. We consider Ciphertext-Policy Attribute-based Encryption (CP-ABE) scheme as it can provide access control on the encrypted outsourced data. One limitation...
As a new method of the Internet of Things (IoT), the mobile crowdsensing provides a novel way to realize the ubiquitous social perception. From the point of the game theory, this paper addresses the reputation incentive mechanism and discusses the prisoner's dilemma in the mobile crowdsensing. Firstly, we give a formal definition of the sensing user's contribution based on the accuracy in data analysis,...
Traffic safety is considered as a key issue in public health. Traffic collisions bring pain and suffering, and cause large amount of losses around the world each year. In this paper, a novel framework, called iTAIS, is proposed to enhance traffic safety using data mining and mobile computing techniques. iTAIS can provide users with driving tips based on their locations, which help to reduce the occurrence...
A smart campus refers to a campus where modern information and communication technologies bring more convenience to campus life, assist campus users to improve and more efficiently accomplish their daily activities, and enhance social interactions. Regarding the high demand of services such as mining campus users' semantic information, building augmented reality assisted mobile campus and smart class,...
The purpose of this paper is to present a smart interactive mirror interface. In this paper, we describe the design and development of a futuristic mirror that offers simplified and customisable services to the home environment. On a par with the recent advances in the Internet of Things standards and applications, the mirror is designed to enable residents to control the household smart appliances...
To offload the increase of the mobile data traffic, the heterogeneous network offloading is regarded as one of the most promising techniques to reduce the workload on the existing cellular network. A novel heterogeneous network system, which integrates the power line carrier (PLC) network and the cellular network, is proposed. The proposed system employs the PLC network instead of the traditional...
This paper reviews the impact of the advent of 5G (fifth generation) over the architecture of the mobile networks. To do so, a methodological proposal that would allow a systematic and orderly review of a large amount of information from multiple sources and facilitate the analysis of the most important components, was necessary. In addition, three types of entities were taken into account: the Academy,...
Social networking has become part of our life in recent years, allowing users to converse and connect with people sharing similar interests in real world. However, networking via the social media suffers from serious privacy issues, and one of which is profile attribute leakage in friend discovery. While existing studies mainly focus on leveraging rich cryptographic algorithms to prevent privacy leak,...
A set of actors may take part in numerous categories of real-life social networks. For instance an actor may take part in a mobile social network and a friendship network. The interactions between actors in the mobile social network may not be reproduced in the friendship one. We accept that overlaying networks with different kinds of interactions assists on detecting interesting patterns. The main...
The research progress of 5G has brought a number of novel technologies to meet the multi-dimensional demands. Device-to-Device (D2D) communication is a way to no longer treat the User Equipments (UEs) as terminal, but rather as a part of network (known as helpers) for service provisioning. Such a way potentially increases the coverage and also expands the capacity of cellular network. In this paper,...
Smart mobile devices are fundamental date sources for crowd activity tracing. Large-scale mobile networks and the Internet-of-Things (IoT) expand and become part of perva-sive and ubiquitous computing offering distributed and trans-parent services. With the IoT, Crowd Sensing is extended by Things Sensing, creating heterogeneous smart environments. A unified and common data processing and communication...
The continuous evolution of mobile networks is demanding and promising. The increase in mobile population, the introduction of new applications and use cases which represents a major shift in the paradigm from voice to data especially with the adoption of the IP network from the internet in the mobile networks. This has imposed challenges in current architecture of mobile networks in terms of backhaul...
