In order to bridge the gap among these heterogeneous devices, in some of the most common IoT use cases-e.g., smart home, smart buildings, etc.- the presence of a gateway as an enabler of interoperability is required. In this paper, we introduce the concept of a Gateway-as-a-Service (GaaS), a lightweight device that can be shared between different users thanks to the use of virtualization techniques. Performance has been evaluated on real hardware and results demonstrate the lightweight characteristics of the proposal.","PeriodicalId":208097,"journal":{"name":"2016 7th International Conference on the Network of the Future (NOF)","volume":"1 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":"126248352","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}

Nevertheless, it is not always possible to access the Internet at will. First, cellular coverage can be poor or nonexistent in some areas. Second, cellular communications may be expensive for a significant share of the population. Finding ways to offload part of the cellular traffic is desirable. In this paper, we examine the possibility of creating delay-tolerant vehicular networks in the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. To this end, we rely on a large mobility dataset reporting GPS positions of 12,456 buses and 5,833 taxis during a 24-hours period. We assess the data transmission viability between vehicles and show that it is feasible to transport more than 25 TB of data in a day using only vehicles, strategically placed access points, and cheap flash drives.","PeriodicalId":208097,"journal":{"name":"2016 7th International Conference on the Network of the Future (NOF)","volume":"1 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":"125840927","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 context, a logically-centralized controller, with full knowledge on network resources and traffic loads, executes routing algorithms to identify forwarding paths, while networking resources (switches and routers) just work on packet forwarding. This work contributes by executing and characterizing a well-know distributed application, NAS parallel benchmark, atop an SDN-based data center. A comparison with different flow routing algorithms is presented, highlighting that an application can reduce its runtime when applying a multi-path routing.","PeriodicalId":208097,"journal":{"name":"2016 7th International Conference on the Network of the Future (NOF)","volume":"598 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":"126903024","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}

Hexsel","doi":"10.1109/NOF.2016.7810119","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/NOF.2016.7810119","url":null,"abstract":"In this work we identify a seminal design guideline that prevents current Full-Duplex (FD) MAC protocols to scale the FD capacity gain (i.e. 2× the half-duplex throughput) in single-cell Wi-Fi networks. Under such guideline (referred to as 1:1), a MAC protocol attempts to initiate up to two simultaneous transmissions in the FD bandwidth. Since in single-cell Wi-Fi networks MAC performance is bounded by the PHY layer capacity, this implies gains strictly less than 2× over half-duplex at the MAC layer. To face this limitation, we argue for the 1:N design guideline. Under 1:N, FD MAC protocols `see' the FD bandwidth through N>1 orthogonal narrow-channel PHY layers. Based on theoretical results and software defined radio experiments, we show the 1:N design can leverage the Wi-Fi capacity gain more than 2× at and below the MAC layer. This translates the denser modulation scheme incurred by channel narrowing and the increase in the spatial reuse factor enabled by channel orthogonality. With these results, we believe our design guideline can inspire a new generation of Wi-Fi MAC protocols that fully embody and scale the FD capacity gain.","PeriodicalId":208097,"journal":{"name":"2016 7th International Conference on the Network of the Future (NOF)","volume":"64 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125091748","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}
