In Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) swarms, robust and decentralized communication between the agents is required. To this end, Software-In- The-Loop (SIL) is performed before the actual flight to avoid the risk of failure. However, single-platform-based simulations can neither fully encounter nor resolve the communication challenges. In this work, we target to incorporate the real-time communication challenges such as network failure, faced by multi-agent systems via Hardware-In-The-Loop (HIL) simulation using Robot-Operating-System (ROS), Gazebo and off the shelf communication modems. A Ground-Control-Station (GCS) is developed to monitor and supervise autonomous UAVs missions. The multi-platform HIL completely emulates the multi-agent system and the communication between the agents, thereby reducing the risk of swarm failure.","PeriodicalId":131571,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 22nd International Symposium on a World of Wireless, Mobile and Multimedia Networks (WoWMoM)","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126309452","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}

Such applications have varying demands for resources and quality of services. This paper presents a Fog computing based transportation system. The system uses multiple Fog devices to provide assistance to the passengers. The passengers and vehicles work as end-users and the Edge devices in the system, respectively. A passenger generates a task and using the Edge device forwards it to the Fog devices for further processing. Selected Fog devices parallel process the fraction of the task, so that the complete task processes within the given time constraint. We use the gamma function based reputation model of Fog devices, which provides the confidence to complete a given task successfully. We present a Knapsack based task offloading algorithm, which helps to fully utilize the resources of the Fog devices. We also present a competitive game model and near Nash Equilibrium solution for estimating the optimal value of the fraction of the task process at Fog devices. Finally, we develop a prototype and present results to investigate the performance of the propose system.","PeriodicalId":131571,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 22nd International Symposium on a World of Wireless, Mobile and Multimedia Networks (WoWMoM)","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131751966","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}

Federated learning provides solutions to information security problems, which is a new machine learning method that effectively protects the local privacy of edge devices by distributing models to edge devices for training. However, due to malicious attacks from malicious edge devices, the accuracy and efficiency of federated learning are greatly compromised. Therefore, to solve the above problems, this paper proposes a reputation-aware method based on reinforcement learning (RA-RL) to select edge devices to ensure that the federated learning process is not attacked. Specifically, we introduce a reputation measurement scheme to evaluate the reputation of edge devices and use it as one of the features of edge devices. Then extract the feature matrix of candidate edge devices as the RL training environment to calculate the probability of each edge device is selected, and finally use the greedy algorithm to determine the devices that will eventually participate in the federated learning. Simulation experiments show that the RA-RL algorithm can effectively solve the training data security problem in federated learning, and is superior to other algorithms in terms of load balance, efficiency and accuracy.","PeriodicalId":131571,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 22nd International Symposium on a World of Wireless, Mobile and Multimedia Networks (WoWMoM)","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134520519","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 these bands, the technologies coexist primarily via distributed MAC spectrum sharing mechanisms, so it is crucial to evaluate their performance using the right tools that reliably and accurately model the coexisting schemes. CSMA and duty cycle are representative schemes in this context, but the few modelling tools that capture their coexistence performance are yet to be properly evaluated in terms of accuracy and computational efficiency. This paper is the first to compare three such modelling tools – stochastic geometry modelling (SGM), ns-3, and our hybrid model – which comprise different time granularities and abstraction levels for the MAC mechanisms. We compare both the accuracy of their estimated SINR and throughput versus ns-3 and their computational efficiency, for CSMA and duty cycle coexistence. Furthermore, we make recommendations pertinent to future broadband coexistence cases. Our results show that ns-3 captures important effects of the CSMA sensing time on the SINR, but its computation time may be prohibitive for modelling coexisting dense networks. This tool is thus useful primarily for studying dynamic MAC features in small to medium-sized coexisting deployments. SGM is the least accurate and also requires a long computation time, so we argue it is the least attractive approach to model coexisting CSMA and duty cycle technologies. Finally, our hybrid model yields the time-average per-link SINR with reasonable accuracy and the throughput with good accuracy and is at least two orders of magnitude faster to compute than SGM and ns-3, making it very well suited for extensive Monte Carlo simulations and large networks.","PeriodicalId":131571,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 22nd International Symposium on a World of Wireless, Mobile and Multimedia Networks (WoWMoM)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130572138","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 follow an alternative approach to mitigate lossy links by adding redundant information to LoRa transmissions. We investigate the potentials of both local and collaborative methods to increase the network’s overall data delivery. By means of simulation studies and a practical evaluation, for which we have implemented the designed techniques on actual LoRa hardware devices, we show that significant improvements are possible in a real-world deployment.","PeriodicalId":131571,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 22nd International Symposium on a World of Wireless, Mobile and Multimedia Networks (WoWMoM)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127668862","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}

Existing solutions are either expensive, short-range, or inaccurate. A new approach is therefore required to cost-effectively and accurately support localization in large indoor environments. We tackle this problem by introducing a practical optical localization scheme, called OSLo, that cost-effectively scales to support large buildings. OSLo uses a meshed network of low-cost cameras as localization anchors and smart LEDs as tags, which transmit their IDs and context sensor data over the meshed cameras using optical communication. OSLo is capable of localizing dense deployments of tags with an accuracy of under 1 meter at a distance of 35 meters from the localization anchor. Furthermore, smart LED tags can be manufactured for less than $1. We systematically evaluate the performance of OSLo in the context of a real-world car localization use-case at Ford Motor Company in Germany and demonstrate promising results in terms of detection distance, and localization accuracy.","PeriodicalId":131571,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 22nd International Symposium on a World of Wireless, Mobile and Multimedia Networks (WoWMoM)","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115258847","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}
