To assist sensor nodes if the relay nodes are added, communication becomes better because relay nodes are used to bridge the communication or routing. However, this is also important to keep the minimum number of relay nodes working to save the network cost. Most of the existing research focuses on placing the relay nodes in wireless sensor networks. It may happen that the different relay nodes forward data of the different sensor nodes on the basis of the availability. When data is not forwarded, relay nodes may be in sleep condition. In this paper, we provide a load balancing strategy to find the minimum number of relay nodes to be working with the goal of having longer network lifetime. We validate our claim by providing simulation results and we find it is possible to save a significant part of duty cycle using our model.","PeriodicalId":103856,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE International Symposium on Local and Metropolitan Area Networks (LANMAN)","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129141321","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

CoAP uses a request-response model and runs over UDP, while MQTT follows a publish-subscribe model running over TCP. For more constrained IoT devices, MQTTSensor Networks (MQTT-SN) provides a UDP-based transport between the sensor and an MQTT-SN gateway, while using TCP between that gateway and the MQTT broker. Quick UDP Internet Connections (QUIC) is a new protocol and although not originally designed for IoT devices, some design features such as reduced connection establishment time may be useful in an IoT environment. Each of these protocols seeks optimizations in features and implementation complexity based on application domains rather than having the full flexibility and adaptability of traditional transport protocols such as TCP. We investigate and analyze four protocols, namely, CoAP, MQTT, MQTT-SN and QUIC, to understand the overhead of obtaining data from an IoT device at a sink to potentially disseminate this data downstream. These constrained IoT devices often operate under challenging, varying network conditions, and it is important to understand the limitations of the protocols in such conditions. Thus, we evaluate the performance of these protocols under varying loss, delay and disruption conditions to identify the most effective environment for their operation and understand the limitations of their dynamic range. Results show that with non-confirmable CoAP a more adaptive wait timer is required; and a more streamlined QUIC protocol may be a potential alternative IoT protocol.","PeriodicalId":103856,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE International Symposium on Local and Metropolitan Area Networks (LANMAN)","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129789412","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we develop a predictive edge computing framework with hard deadlines. Our algorithm; PrComp (i) predicts the uncertain dynamics of resources of devices at the edge including energy, computing power, and mobility, and (ii) makes sub-task offloading decisions by taking into account the predicted available resources, as well as the hard deadline constraints of tasks.

They can, therefore, be modeled as structured graphs with sub-structures consisting of these constructs. Fog computing can reduce the latency induced by distant clouds by enabling the deployment of some components at the edge of the network (i.e., closer to end-devices) while keeping others in the cloud. Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) decouples software from hardware and enables an agile deployment of network services and applications as Virtual Network Functions (VNFs). In NFV settings, efficient placement algorithms are required to map the structured graphs representing the VNF Forwarding Graphs (VNF-FGs) onto the infrastructure of the hybrid cloud/fog system. Only deterministic graphs with sequence and parallel sub-structures have been considered thus to date. However, several real-life applications do require non-deterministic graphs with sub-structures as selections and loops. This paper focuses on application component placement in NFV-based hybrid cloud/fog systems, with the assumption that the graph representing the application is non-deterministic. The objective is to minimize an aggregated weighted function of makespan and cost.

Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) enables the agile provisioning of VASs. In NFV settings, VASs are provisioned as ordered sets of Virtual Network Functions (VNFs), forming VNF-Forwarding Graphs (VNF-FG) which are deployed in the CDN infrastructure. The CDN VAS VNF-FGs have a specific characteristic: they have one end-point (corresponding to the content server) that is unknown, prior to their placement. The proposals for CDN VAS VNF-FG placement, so far, have only considered offline placement, where the VNF-FGs are placed before end-user traffic steers into the network. However, in concrete cases, a change in service usage patterns might occur, a situation that could require a VNF-FG placement in an online manner. This paper tackles the problem of online VNF-FG placement for VASs in CDNs, taking into account the eventual reuses and migrations of already-deployed VNFs. A cost model is considered, including multiple costs; i.e. new VNF instantiations, migration, hosting and routing costs. The objective is to optimally place the VNF-FGs such that total reconfiguration costs are minimized while QoS is satisfied.

However, for an effective deployment at today's last mile connections, an improved queueing algorithm is not enough in itself, as often the bottleneck queue is situated in legacy systems that cannot be upgraded. In addition, features such as per-user fairness and the ability to de-prioritise background traffic are often desirable in a home gateway.In this paper we present Common Applications Kept Enhanced (CAKE), a comprehensive network queue management system designed specifically for home Internet gateways. CAKE packs several compelling features into an integrated solution, thus easing deployment. These features include: bandwidth shaping with overhead compensation for various link layers; reasonable DiffServ handling; improved flow hashing with both per-flow and per-host queueing fairness; and filtering of TCP ACKs. Our evaluation shows that these features offer compelling advantages, and that CAKE has the potential to significantly improve performance of last-mile internet connections.","PeriodicalId":103856,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE International Symposium on Local and Metropolitan Area Networks (LANMAN)","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124934918","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
