The most important issue being looked into VANETs nowadays is that of security and privacy of vehicles and users. The current and past research has focused on using or securing the identity of vehicles in the network. However, in reality the vehicle's identity is not particularly useful for the authorities. Therefore, we present a novel idea for Digital Identity in VANETs that makes it more reliable and useful for both the authorities and the driver while providing the required level of security and privacy. Our scheme offers incentives for users and authorities to become part of VANETs thus helping in the deployment of the infrastructure.","PeriodicalId":219583,"journal":{"name":"2013 19th IEEE International Conference on Networks (ICON)","volume":"249 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132657260","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 intermediate network gateway was developed to inter-connect the Wide Area domain and Local Area domain switches. GRE overlay encapsulation protocol is used to provide interconnection among OpenvSwitches for both OpenFlow control and data plane.

Applications running on data centers can achieve predictable performance only if the network resource - bandwidth - is also guaranteed along with the computational and storage resources. While QoS guaranteeing solutions in network has been a subject of intense research in the past decades, in this paper, we focus on studying the capability of software-defined networking architecture in providing QoS guarantees in data centers. In particular, we experiment with the most well-known and standardized OpenFlow, to analyze the goodness of the QoS APIs supported in the recent version (OpenFlow v1.3) in providing rate-guarantees to TCP flows in a data center. We experiment with the commonly implemented TCP congestion control algorithms, namely CUBIC and New Reno. Our study demonstrates that, with rate-limiters, the TCP flows that go through an OpenFlow-enabled switch can experience drops to batches of packets, forcing them to switch to the slow-start phase periodically, thereby leading to inefficient bandwidth utilization. This behaviour can adversely affect the performance of applications generating the flows. Hence, we need to develop better mechanisms that limit flow-rates while allowing the flows to operate in their congestion-avoidance phase.","PeriodicalId":219583,"journal":{"name":"2013 19th IEEE International Conference on Networks (ICON)","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116245171","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 faults are unavoidable in communication systems, their quick detection and isolation is essential for the robustness, reliability, and accessibility of a system. Fault localization is done using probing, monitoring, with agents, agent less, through WMI etc. Probing technique for fault localization involves placement of probe stations (Probe stations are specially instrumented nodes from where probes can be sent to monitor the network) which affects the diagnosis capability of the probes sent by the probe stations. Probe station locations affect probing efficiency, monitoring capability, and deployment cost. At the same time, probe station selection affects the selection of probe set for fault localization. We are presenting a novel approach for minimal probe station selection with an objective to reduce probe set size that will be used for fault localization. The probe station selected through this approach results into reduced deployment cost as well as it helps in producing smaller probe set for fault localization reducing overall operation cost. We provide experimental evaluation of the proposed algorithm and provided analysis of same with Shadow Node Reduction (SNR) algorithm through simulation results.","PeriodicalId":219583,"journal":{"name":"2013 19th IEEE International Conference on Networks (ICON)","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127047772","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}

However, networks in the future will be highly heterogeneous. Different kinds of wireless networks such as GSM, UMTS, WLAN, exist together in the same area and different networks have different features and abilities. Thus peer selection in heterogeneous wireless networks will become more realistic. To solve this problem, we first propose a novel mechanism in which peer and its access network are treated together as a whole entity, which we call a virtual peer and then propose a virtual peer selection (VPS) algorithm based on information entropy theory and utility function to complete our mechanism. Simulation results show that our mechanism has much better performance. Simulations show that our mechanism has a better performance both in peer ability and energy consumption.","PeriodicalId":219583,"journal":{"name":"2013 19th IEEE International Conference on Networks (ICON)","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116631448","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}

Use of multi clock-rate sampling devices to provide reduced power idle listening promises to significantly reduce power consumption in wireless devices without affecting throughput or transmission range. However, the use of frequency agnostic preamble to enable multi clock-rate detection causes linear scaling of preamble length, and consequently, the goodput performance of the network suffers. In this paper, we look at a modification of RObust Header Compression (ROHC) as a means to restrict header length scaling and its applicability in networks of multi-frequency sampling wireless devices. We analyze the modified preamble compression scheme deployed on multi clock-rate sampling wireless devices and determine performance metrics such as channel utilization and goodput across different error rates and downclocking factors. The energy efficiency performance of such a network is also studied. The results obtained are validated using extensive simulation.","PeriodicalId":219583,"journal":{"name":"2013 19th IEEE International Conference on Networks (ICON)","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114622904","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}

Cooperation among MTs has a lot of advantages such as increasing network throughput, decreasing file download time, saving energy. Traffic distribution, which means how to distribute the traffic to the cooperating MTs, is a key issue in MTs cooperation. To improve the quality of service and user's experience, we propose two distribution approaches: time-based approach and AHP-based (analytic hierarchy process based) approach. In time-based approach, an optimization model is used, in which the transmit time is decreased to the shortest. Besides, with the QoS parameters and cost taken into consideration, we proposed the AHP-based approach, in which the client's preference is also considered. Both the two proposed approaches show better performance than the traditional approach.","PeriodicalId":219583,"journal":{"name":"2013 19th IEEE International Conference on Networks (ICON)","volume":"140 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131949481","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}
