However, as the load for such fog infrastructures increases, there is a growing need for coordination mechanisms that can provide load balancing. The problem is exacerbated by local overload that may occur due to an uneven distribution of processing tasks (jobs) over the infrastructure, which is typical real application such as smart cities, where the sensor deployment is irregular and the workload intensity can fluctuate due to rush hours and users behavior. In this paper we introduce two load sharing mechanisms that aim to offload jobs towards the neighboring nodes. We evaluate the performance of such algorithms in a realistic environment that is based on a real application for monitoring in a smart city. Our experiments demonstrate that even a simple load balancing scheme is effective in addressing local hot spots that would arise in a non-collaborative fog infrastructure.","PeriodicalId":110283,"journal":{"name":"2020 Fifth International Conference on Fog and Mobile Edge Computing (FMEC)","volume":"123 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117135824","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}

To achieve that, several clustering protocols have been proposed and widely used in the research community, among which are: The Low-Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy protocol (LEACH) and Threshold sensitive Energy Efficient sensor Network (TEEN) for clustered homogeneous wireless sensor networks. The Stable Election Protocol (SEP), and Threshold Sensitive stable Election Protocol (TSEP) for clustered heterogeneous wireless sensor networks. The purpose of this paper is to provide a comparative analysis of these protocols, starting on a brief discussion on their operation, mentioning their strength and weakness aspects, and comparing between them thus highlighting their pros and cons, which will be a rich source for researchers who are keen toward developing new algorithms and protocols that leverage the pros of these protocols and minimize their cons.","PeriodicalId":110283,"journal":{"name":"2020 Fifth International Conference on Fog and Mobile Edge Computing (FMEC)","volume":"366 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124596810","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}

Discovering and transferring energy amongst EVs in mobile vehicular edges and fogs is expected to be an effective solution for bringing energy closer to where the demand is and improving the scalability and flexibility compared to traditional charging solutions. In this paper, we propose a fully-distributed energy-aware opportunistic charging approach which enables distributed multi-layer adaptive edge cloud platform for sustainable mobile autonomous vehicular edges which host dynamic on-demand virtual edge containers of on-demand services. We introduce a novel Reinforcement Learning (Q-learning) based SmartCharge algorithm formulated as a finite Markov Decision Process. We define multiple edge energy states, transitions and possible actions of edge nodes in dynamic complex network environments which are adaptively resolved by multilayer real-time multidimensional predictive analytics. This allows SmartCharge edge nodes to more accurately capture, predict and adapt to dynamic spatial-temporal energy supply and demand as well as mobility patterns when energy peaks are expected. More specifically, SmartCharge edge nodes are able to autonomously and collaboratively understand when (how soon) and where the geo-temporal peaks are expected to happen, thus enable better local prediction and more accurate global distribution of energy resources. We provide multi-criteria evaluation of SmartCharge against competitive protocols over real-world San Francisco Cab mobility traces and in the presence of real-world users' energy interest traces driven by Foursquare San Francisco dataset. We show that SmartCharge successfully predicts and mitigates congestion in peak charging hours, reduces the waiting time between vehicles sending energy demand requests and being successfully charged as well as significantly reduces the total number of vehicles in need of energy.","PeriodicalId":110283,"journal":{"name":"2020 Fifth International Conference on Fog and Mobile Edge Computing (FMEC)","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124001880","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}

Software Defined Radios (SDR) are a tool of choice for the fingerprinting, as they virtually enable the analysis of any wireless communication scheme. However, they require expensive computations, and are still complex to handle by newcomers. In this paper, we use low cost SDR to propose a physical-layer fingerprinting approach, that allows recognition of the model of a device performing a Bluetooth scan, with more than 99.8% accuracy in a set of ten devices.","PeriodicalId":110283,"journal":{"name":"2020 Fifth International Conference on Fog and Mobile Edge Computing (FMEC)","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133700895","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}

Emerging services such as Internet of things (IoT), virtual reality (VR) and ehealth, which require carrier-grade quality have shifted data traffic. Therefore, smart infrastructures need an extensive analysis of application requirements and user expectations. This paper presents the concept of cumulative network parameter monitoring and analysis in order to improve overall Wi-Fi quality in smart infrastructure. The proposed concept incorporates security and privacy in addition to generic performance parameters. The cumulative network parameters monitoring and analysis investigates various parameters in order to assess overall quality rather than individual performance parameter monitoring for a particular service. Hence, cumulative network parameter monitoring and analysis concept can establish a baseline to estimate user acceptability objectively rather than costly subjective assessments.","PeriodicalId":110283,"journal":{"name":"2020 Fifth International Conference on Fog and Mobile Edge Computing (FMEC)","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128893494","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}

Fog computing aims at improving quality of service, data access, networking, computation and storage. However, the security and privacy issues persist, even if many cloud solutions were proposed. Indeed, Fog computing introduces new challenges in terms of security and privacy, due to its specific features such as mobility, geo-distribution and heterogeneity etc. Blockchain is an emergent concept bringing efficiency in many fields. In this paper, we propose a new access control scheme based on blockchain technology for the fog computing with fault tolerance in the context of the Internet of Things. Blockchain is used to provide secure management authentication and access process to IoT devices. Each network entity authenticates in the blockchain via the wallet, which allows a secure communication in decentralized environment, hence it achieves the security objectives. In addition, we propose to establish a secure connection between the users and the IoT devices, if their attributes satisfy the policy stored in the blockchain by smart contract. We also address the blockchain transparency problem by the encryption of the users attributes both in the policy and in the request. An authorization token is generated if the encrypted attributes are identical. Moreover, our proposition offers higher scalability, availability and fault tolerance in Fog nodes due to the implementation of load balancing through the Min-Min algorithm.","PeriodicalId":110283,"journal":{"name":"2020 Fifth International Conference on Fog and Mobile Edge Computing (FMEC)","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114608772","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}

Even though existing mechanisms such as handover and roaming procedures have already introduced possible solutions in previous generations, mobile users still suffer from delays during network switching in cross border situations. This paper summarizes the research being done on service continuity cross border for different generations of cellular wireless communication networks and demonstrates the benefits that 5G brings to service continuity use cases in the context of a European project.

The advent of NB-IoT technology opens new possibilities for low-power long-range IoT applications. However, the design of the standard introduces high battery drainage in the situations when the radio conditions between the UE and the eNB are poor. Device-to-Device (D2D) communication is considered a promising technology to address this problem, since D2D makes it possible for the end-devices to exchange the data without the assistance of the base stations. In this work, we study how NB-IoT applications in general can benefit from enabling D2D communication.

In order to increase the usage of renewable energy, prosumers, i.e., users that can act both as producers and consumers, can benefit from joining together and forming energy communities. This new scenario calls for great research investigations aimed to improve the management of energy exchanges inside energy communities In particular, efficient solutions need to consider the interaction among several energy entities, among which distributed renewable plants, residential loads and energy storage systems. In this paper, an optimazation model for the energy management in energy communities is presented. The novelty consists in modeling the entire energy community as a whole, rather than each prosumer separately, with the goal of optimizing the energy sharing and balance at the community level.
