Whereas positioning in outdoor environments can be mainly attributed to Global Navigation Satellite Systems, no single technology can be appointed for accurate indoor localization. Many approaches exist, mostly relying on line-of-sight propagation from a mobile node to multiple anchor nodes. These solutions not only require complex installations, but in many cases they also make inapplicable assumptions about indoor environments. This paper investigates an indoor localization system with a single anchor node, estimating the position of an omnidirectional mobile transmitter by fingerprinting angle of arrival data. Measurements were taken with a 10-elements uniform linear antenna array at a 2.47 GHz carrier frequency. Three different scenarios were defined for the evaluation of localization errors and the influence of spatial smoothing, a technique for signal decorrelation.","PeriodicalId":179998,"journal":{"name":"2017 Wireless Days","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115938631","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 very heart of VSNs' vision is the capability to dynamically allocate shared physical resources (processing power, bandwidth, storage) to multiple incoming applications. In this context, we tackle the problem of optimally allocating shared resources in VSNs by proposing an efficient greedy heuristic that aims to maximize the total revenue out of the deployment of multiple concurrent applications while considering the inherent limitations of the shared physical resources. The proposed heuristic is tested on realistic network instances with notable performances in terms of execution time while keeping the gap with respect to the optimal solution limited (below 5% in the tested environments).","PeriodicalId":179998,"journal":{"name":"2017 Wireless Days","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125738499","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 focus on the passive neighbor discovery in multi-channel environments. We present different discovery approaches with low computational complexity that utilize cooperation between devices by exchanging discovery results in order to improve the discovery process. Furthermore, we present an optimized discovery approach that uses multiple transceivers and evaluate the bounds on the performance under idealized conditions. We analyze the impact of different network parameters such as number of channels and number of neighbors on the discovery times of the developed approaches by using a simulative evaluation. By putting the discovery times achievable with the cooperative or “gossiping” approaches into perspective with the multi-transceiver results, we can quantify the value of cooperation in terms of numbers of transceivers.","PeriodicalId":179998,"journal":{"name":"2017 Wireless Days","volume":"18 10","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114127459","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}

After that selection, these jamming signals are combined with data at the legitimate transmitter, being posteriorly canceled at legitimate receiver. In order to improve the secrecy level of the proposed scheme, an algorithm that efficiently combines data with discrete jamming signals is also developed. The comparison of the scheme proposed in this manuscript with a jamming technique discussed in [13], allowed to verify that the proposed scheme achieves a level of secrecy that does not fall to zero with the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) increase, instead it saturates in a positive level becoming independent of the power conditions. The results have also showed that making an efficient selection of the jamming signals that will be combined with data, the level of secrecy can be further improved.","PeriodicalId":179998,"journal":{"name":"2017 Wireless Days","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133411070","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}

However, WVSNs still suffer from bad performance, throughput unfairness, and energy inefficiency. Previously, we proposed FM-WiFIX+, a holistic solution to address the problem. FM-WiFIX+ uses FM radio to signal when a video sensor should turn its IEEE 802.11 interface OFF, thus saving energy. Herein, we present a new traffic-aware version of FM-WiFIX+. The results obtained through numerical, simulation, and experimental evaluation demonstrate that the new version can achieve savings in energy consumption up to 84 %, while maintaining the levels of performance and throughput fairness.","PeriodicalId":179998,"journal":{"name":"2017 Wireless Days","volume":"363 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125815342","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}

Mostly wireless sensor networks are large-scale systems, heavily noised, and the system workload is unfairly distributed among the master node and slave nodes. Hence, the master node may not easily detect a faulty slave node. In this paper, a more accurate faulty node detection scheme using a Markov chain model is investigated. Each slave node's condition can be divided into three states by probability calculation: Good-,Warning-, and Bad-state. Using this information, the master node can predicts the area in which an error frequently occurs. Simulation results show that the proposed method can improve the reliability of faulty node detection and the miss detection rate for a Wireless Sensor Networks.","PeriodicalId":179998,"journal":{"name":"2017 Wireless Days","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117182368","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}
