GSP identifies equivalent nodes in terms of communication with a low communication overhead and then schedules nodes based on this equivalence. The simulation results illustrate that GSP outperforms some other existing algorithms in terms of connectivity guarantee and energy conservation.","PeriodicalId":187635,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Smart Communications in Network Technologies (SaCoNeT)","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126854310","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}

For a given status of dynamic wireless channel environment, the radio uses intelligence to optimize user's QoS by adapting the transmission parameters of the radio. Transmission parameters adaptation in a dynamic multicarrier environment has been previously studied using genetic algorithms (GA). The main goal was to select the optimal transmission parameters. When genetic algorithms are applied to complex problems, such as in multicarrier (MC) one, their execution time, to find a solution, increases. In this paper, we propose a new algorithm based on a real-coded genetic algorithm. Several tests have been done to tune the different parameters of the algorithm. The new algorithm is compared to the standard GA, based on De Jong's standard parameter settings and binary coding, used for optimizing QoS for cognitive radio. The tests carried on show that our algorithm gives better performance in terms of convergence speed.","PeriodicalId":187635,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Smart Communications in Network Technologies (SaCoNeT)","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116761756","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}

As a result, a number of recently-designed energy-efficient routing algorithm stated that clustering approach has an important issue for organizing a network into a connected hierarchy and increasing the network lifetime. The clustering hierarchical model consists in two main steps, cluster heads selection and assignment of each node to one cluster. This paper proposes an enhancement of Low Energy Adaptive Clustering with deterministic cluster-head selection by introducing a new parameter for electing cluster-head. Nodes having the highest remaining energy and the lowest energy variance consumption become cluster heads with high probability. The additional variance parameter takes into account energy consumption dispersion if the considered node is elected as cluster-head. This dispersion highly depends on the relative positioning of the node to the base station. Variance keeps the energy consumption of the node in the preceding rounds. This is useful for predicting node status when elected as cluster-head in the current round in order to balance the network energy. Simulation results show that our proposal extends the networks lifetime compared to recent cluster-based protocol. More-over, the energy consumption is balanced between the wireless sensor nodes.","PeriodicalId":187635,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Smart Communications in Network Technologies (SaCoNeT)","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114411363","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}

Internet service providers and network operators require to apply different QoS policies for specific protocols. Then, such classifying systems are critical. However, classification by port does not provide good results, and it is necessary to apply other more complex techniques. These classification techniques have to be fast enough to work at line rates. This paper presents a system that unifies the entire process involved in flow classification at high speed. It captures the traffic, builds flows from the received packets and finally classifies them inside a GPU. All the process is possible at 10 Gbps using commodity hardware. Our results show that the achieved performance is very influenced by the number of protocols to find, and it is limited by the number of network flows.

In addition, the simultaneous availability of multiple connectivity interfaces, e.g., cellular, WiFi, and Ethernet, pushes towards spontaneous networking scenarios where devices create a multi-network environment based on collaborative and best-effort dispatching of packets. Connectivity in such novel scenarios is far less reliable than in traditional networks, e.g., links abruptly dis/appear simply due to node mobility, thus making hard to support quality-sensitive applications. In this paper, we present our framework for Tree-based Overlay over Multiple and Heterogeneous (TOMH) spontaneous networks for easily supporting smart network management features on top of heterogeneous multi-network environments. TOMH creates and maintains a dynamic and mobility-aware tree-based overlay network to integrate different connectivity technologies while enabling a tradeoff between accuracy of the global network view and collection/monitoring overhead. The TOMH overlay construction mechanism has been thoroughly validated and evaluated via simulation studies: the reported experimental results reveal that our proposal significantly outperforms comparable solutions for MANET environments, especially when the size of the targeted multi-network increases.","PeriodicalId":187635,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Smart Communications in Network Technologies (SaCoNeT)","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133444306","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}

Communication between cars often referred to vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANET) has many advantages such as reducing cars accidents, minimizing the traffic jam, reducing fuel consumption and emissions, etc. VANET architecture has been standardized in the IEEE 802.11p specification. VANETs beaconing is one of the most important communication modes, which is used to broadcast the information of a car to the neighbour cars. This paper deals with simulation of car to car communication in realistic large-scale urban area (real traffic and map) based on IEEE 802.11p standard and investigates the successful beacon delivery probability. This study calculates the Probability of Beacon Delivery (PBD) in realistic simulation and compares that with the mathematical model. PBD for cars in different situations are calculated (for example PBD for one particular car in the city, one group of cars in the street, cars in the crossroad, PBD in a large area with different traffic density, etc.). Studying the PBD of 802.11p is necessary to find out whether this technology is effective before implementing in the real world. This study is the first study performed on the PBD of 802.11p in realistic large urban area. The results show that the PBD of 802.11p in a large area with huge density of cars is quite low. In addition, in this study different VANET simulators are investigated. As a result SUMO for traffic simulation, OMNeT++ for Network Simulation and Veins framework for integration of OMNeT++ and SUMO are selected in this study.","PeriodicalId":187635,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Smart Communications in Network Technologies (SaCoNeT)","volume":"132 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114512752","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}
