These services typically require environmental awareness obtained from distributed sensing systems. The implementation of such sensing systems on a city-wide scale is challenging, as the number of sensors needed can become unpractical. In this paper, we evaluate the utilization of mobile sensors as a possible approach to cover wider areas with fewer sensors and to use opportunistic communication to solve connectivity issues. In this direction, we propose a mobile sensor network using the public transportation system. To validate the feasibility of our proposal, we start by evaluating the performance of important commercial sensors in a mobile scenario, comparing measurements of static and mobile sensors of temperature, humidity, barometric pressure and luminosity. Our findings suggest that there is no or neglectful speed dependency on the measurements taken.","PeriodicalId":208097,"journal":{"name":"2016 7th International Conference on the Network of the Future (NOF)","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126865541","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}

D2D communication aims to offload base station from traffic routing by enabling direct link between communicating devices in proximity. D2D underlay allows a D2D pair to reuse resources with a cellular link, leading to better spectrum utilization. However, D2D transmission causes significant interference to cellular link with which it reuses physical resource block (PRB), thereby hindering cellular performance. Regulating D2D transmissions to mitigate the aforementioned problem would mean sub-optimal exploitation of D2D communications. As a solution, post-resource allocation power control at cellular users is proposed in this paper. Three schemes namely interference aware power control, blind power control and threshold based power control are discussed. Simulation results show reductions in dropping of cellular users due to interference from D2D transmissions, improvement in throughput at base station (uplink) while not hindering the D2D performance.","PeriodicalId":208097,"journal":{"name":"2016 7th International Conference on the Network of the Future (NOF)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133465424","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 propose two solutions to mitigate the impact of M2M communication in the context of LTE-A network. More specifically, we model how the random access resources should be allocated to the different types of devices as a bankruptcy problem. In addition, we propose solutions for the bankruptcy problem using a game theory and an axiomatic strategy. The simulation results show that our approaches present improvements in terms of energy efficiency, impact control of M2M over H2H accesses and define priority among the different classes of devices.","PeriodicalId":208097,"journal":{"name":"2016 7th International Conference on the Network of the Future (NOF)","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115649187","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}

Since scalable video coding produces a high quality bitstream with various levels of quality, we propose to offer better protection for important video layers when the link experiences a poor quality. Our scheme adapts the amount of redundancy depending on the quality of the output link and packet's importance. Our approach uses nested windows inspired by unequal protection schemes for scalable video coding. We carried out a simulation based evaluation of our scheme considering packet loss and overhead metrics in various network scenarios. The results show that our scheme reduces the overall packet loss and offers a better protection for the base layer packets.","PeriodicalId":208097,"journal":{"name":"2016 7th International Conference on the Network of the Future (NOF)","volume":"394 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115915737","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}

Conceiving network control as load-aware responsive distributed system remains a key challenge. In this paper, we propose a scheme for dynamically provisioning and placing network controllers based on their usage profiles. The proposed scheme analyze the amount of calls each controller is handling at the same time, and uses a Markov chain to identify if the network load is increasing, decreasing, or stable. Our controller placement algorithm chooses the most central nodes for installing the controllers. We simulate our proposal over real network topologies for a variable network load. We compare our proposal with a centralized-controller approach and with an approach where all nodes are also controllers. Our results show that the proposal achieves an efficient controller placement and provides as many controllers as needed to respond to the demand. The proposed scheme installs 50% controllers less than the distributed approach, while keeps the minimum load over each controller.","PeriodicalId":208097,"journal":{"name":"2016 7th International Conference on the Network of the Future (NOF)","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116255519","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}

We show the restriction of predefined timeslot sizes and elaborate on the issues with scheduling based on flexible time intervals, with a specific focus on the characteristics of media transfer.
