To achieve energy-efficient results we turn off all the power-hungry interfaces and peripherals, while maintaining a low-power interface active, dedicated to control the rest of the components. Finally, we present the installation of the developed system in the Vida oceanographic buoy, in Slovenia and evaluate our device in terms of power consumption.","PeriodicalId":206778,"journal":{"name":"2017 13th International Conference on Advanced Technologies, Systems and Services in Telecommunications (TELSIKS)","volume":"100 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122426893","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}

An efficient scheduling algorithm can help to achieve higher data rates, lower latency and increased fairness for users. This paper evaluates the performance of an indoor network, simulated using the Realistic Indoor Environment Generator (RIEG), when 11 different Throughput Averaging Methods (TAMs) for the Proportional Fair (PF) algorithm are used. The TAMs are compared by using a Comparative Factor (CF) that simultaneously takes into account the average throughput of the indoors users, the fairness and the outage ratio. Simulation results show that when improvement in fairness is the main goal, the recently-proposed low-complexity Median Method (MM) and Quartile Mean Method (QMM) are major rivals to the widely-used Arithmetic Mean Method (AMM) and Original Mean Method (OMM), while the Modified Quartile Mean Method (MQMM) is the leader when the average throughput of indoor users is the most important factor.","PeriodicalId":206778,"journal":{"name":"2017 13th International Conference on Advanced Technologies, Systems and Services in Telecommunications (TELSIKS)","volume":"70 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121160078","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 main concern was to determine the already existing communications that are most probable to be found in the field. As Wi-Fi is the most used communication inside the buildings, but is also likely to be found in vehicles (for communication between their equipment of just used by mobile devices inside of them) the authors have considered that this should be the first step in determining characteristics of the wireless communication environment near the road network. Therefore, specific measurements regarding communications interferences and Wi-Fi channel density have been performed in some representative road junctions in Bucharest and along the most crowded public transport routes (buses and trams), with the results being useful in choosing proper ways for employing new communications with little chance of interferences.","PeriodicalId":206778,"journal":{"name":"2017 13th International Conference on Advanced Technologies, Systems and Services in Telecommunications (TELSIKS)","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126739919","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}
