Given the higher probability of node failures, losses in the communication channels, and limited resources of devices compared to centralized storage solutions, it is key to minimize data retrieval time, while also maintaining high resiliency in the system. We propose a method based on random linear network coding (RLNC) for data storage and retrieval and the use of Kademlia for our peer-to-peer design to address these challenges. We analyze the performance of the proposed RLNC-based method theoretically as well as the traditional Kademlia in terms of data retrieval time and resiliency to node failures and channel losses. We use PeerSim to simulate the proposed method. Our theoretical analysis and simulation results show that the proposed RLNC-based method significantly outperforms traditional Kademlia for our core performance metrics. These gains in resiliency and data retrieval time are achieved while also reducing the data storage time for a wide region of operation. Our simulations show that only if the redundancy of the RLNC-based scheme is significantly increased (> 100 % redundant RLNC packets), then a small degradation (< 10 %) in data storage time occurs.","PeriodicalId":194840,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 93rd Vehicular Technology Conference (VTC2021-Spring)","volume":"106 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124836843","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 is a new paradigm for resource scheduling. In this context, resource allocation algorithms have to account for the choice of users served on the same time and frequency resource in their decision mechanism.

The narrow beams formed by millimeter wave (mmWave) beam can concentrate the transmission power and greatly improve the energy efficiency of WPT. However, the mmWave propagation is susceptible to blockage and suffers higher path-loss, resulting in low power intensity harvested by the devices in no line of sight (NLOS) state. In this paper, we propose a sectorized directional WPT scheme for wireless sensor network (WSN) assisted by the emerging intelligent reflecting surface (IRS), where power beacon (PB) transfers energy to the devices in selected charging sectors, and the IRS is deployed in each sector to achieve high passive beamforming gain and provide additional effective reflection paths to enhance WPT efficiency drastically. We aim to maximize the weighted sum-power received by devices via jointly optimizing the transmit precoders at the PB and reflect phase shifts at the IRS, subject to the individual energy harvesting constraints of each device. To solve this non-convex problem, an efficient algorithm to find a sub-optimal solution is proposed. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme can increase the weighted sum-power by 15% and 26% compared to the two baseline methods.","PeriodicalId":194840,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 93rd Vehicular Technology Conference (VTC2021-Spring)","volume":"61 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128295158","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}

Moreover, we consider non-ideal circuitry in the transmit and receive chains, which is modelled with the limited dynamic range (LDR) noise model. The per-antenna power constraints take into account the actual physical limits of the power amplifiers and the sum-power constraints are imposed to limit the total transmit power.

The Federal Communications Commission has proposed to create Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) with the three-tier spectrum sharing system to release more spectrum for the mobile broadband usage in next-generation wireless network. In this paper we propose an efficient cooperative spectrum sensing solution, ECSS, for CBRS CR system. The Priority Access License (PAL) are represented as Primary Users (PU) and General Authorized Access (GAA) as secondary user (SU). Modelling and analysis of cooperative spectrum sensing (CSS) is an important aspect in CR systems in presence of multiple users. In our scheme, spectrum sensing is carried by individual SUs using energy detector and Square Law Selection diversity. This is due to the simplicity and non-necessity of apriori information in both these techniques. The energy detection (ED) of an unknown signal over Nakagami-m fading is considered for analytically modelling local probability of detection at individual SU, termed as efficient spectrum sensing (ESS). Individual SUs send the hard decision rule to the Spectrum Access System (SAS), which acts as the fusion centre of the cooperative spectrum sensing system, where majority combining decision rule is employed to take final sensing decision using a Efficient Cooperative Spectrum Sensing (ECSS) Algorithm. Closed-form solutions for the ECSS system-level probability of detection and false alarm at the SAS are obtained and have been shown to give efficient performance.","PeriodicalId":194840,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 93rd Vehicular Technology Conference (VTC2021-Spring)","volume":"69 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127246001","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 goal is to support black box testing of such feature classes as part of an independent evaluation. By the means of co-simulation of post-attack behaviour and critical scenarios, we derive a representative set of physical certification tests, to gain an understanding of the interplay between safety and security.

The combination of edge and cloud computing has been demonstrated as one promising solution to such problem. In the edge-cloud collaboration (ECC) framework, the task scheduling among edges and cloud is of great importance on impacting the performance of the system. In this paper, we investigate the task offloading strategy to minimize the energy consumption of the networks. To achieve that, a time delay penalty mechanism, which searches the optimal power for edge to cloud task offloading under given delay constraint, is first proposed. On that basis, a low complexity edge-cloud matching algorithm leveraging the bipartite matching method is developed, to further minimize the execution energy consumption of all devices. Finally, to evaluate its efficiency, the proposed algorithm is deployed and tested on an novel edge-cloud computing collaboration platform. Both simulation and experiment results revel that our proposed scheme can achieve the less energy consumption compared with other alternatives. In addition, it also indicates that our proposed scheme can effectively matching resources from the edge to the cloud, especially for the issues that edge devices fail to meet demands due to limit processing ability.","PeriodicalId":194840,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 93rd Vehicular Technology Conference (VTC2021-Spring)","volume":"79 7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127251286","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}
