The knowledge about the geometrical structure of multipath propagation environment is exploited by using a ray-tracing tool. We further apply the Random Forest (RF) algorithm embedded in a machine learning framework to extract a reference data-set of Time Differences of Arrival (TDOA) fingerprints in multipath outdoor scenarios. Site-specific fingerprints are processed with a multidimensional cross-correlation, called Volume Cross-Correlation function (VCC), to extract the multipath features from measurements. The performance and feasibility of our method was evaluated by simulations and measurements.","PeriodicalId":161972,"journal":{"name":"IEEE International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications","volume":"70 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122672509","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}

SIDEMAN takes advantage of mobile social networking characteristics, such as user membership to a restricted number of communities and interest for similar services among users in the same community. We evaluated the performance of SIDEMAN via simulations in a scenario based on traces collected at the IEEE conference Infocom in 2006. Our algorithm has been compared to the social version of two popular data dissemination techniques, namely, flooding and gossiping. We have measured how proactive an algorithm is in distributing services of interest (Recall), how many services are already with a user when they are needed (Gain), the energy cost for service discovery, and the time needed to reply a service query. We show that SIDEMAN obtains perfect Recall and a Gain that is always comparable to that of the other algorithms. Furthermore, most services are retrieved in reasonable time and at a lower energy cost than that of the flooding and gossiping-based solutions.","PeriodicalId":161972,"journal":{"name":"IEEE International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129796521","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}

This paper presents a new energy efficient approach for the characterization of a system composed of a solar mini-panel and supercapacitors (supercaps) that is able to supply energy to the sensor node from the three possible sources, namely, the supercapacitor (supercap), the backup battery and the solar-panel itself. Besides the efficiency this approach preserves the integrity of the supercapacitors, avoiding the real risks of degradation usually found in the literature. It is also shown that the energy efficiency provides not only energy awareness sensor nodes, but also information for the analysis and planning of QoS metrics for Wireless Sensor Networks.","PeriodicalId":161972,"journal":{"name":"IEEE International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130261936","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}

The objective is to maximize system throughput under the fairness restriction and minimize the forward link overhead.
