Our approach consists of the creation, during a downlink phase, of a clustered VANET topology during fast broadcast data dissemination, from the Access Point (AP), through a novel clustering protocol, denoted as Cluster-head Election Irresponsible Forwarding (CEIF). This clustered topology is then exploited, during an uplink phase, to collect information from the vehicles and perform distributed detection. Our results highlight the existing trade-off between decision delay and energy efficiency. Unlike classical sensor networks for distributed detection, the proposed vehicular distributed detection schemes exploit the natural vehicle clustering and have to cope with their “ephemeral” nature. More precisely, vehicle mobility has a direct impact on the maximum amount of data which can be collected, thus leading to the concept of decentralized detection “on the move”.","PeriodicalId":220290,"journal":{"name":"2011 11th International Conference on ITS Telecommunications","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124949651","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 remove the GTP tunnel and its associated IP/UDP tunnel, and embed user IP packets directly in Ethernet frames within the mobile backhaul.

With the increasing number of web services that provide similar functionality, it is important to find the best web service that meets the user's needs, including both their functional and non functional requirements. The non-functional description of the service requires specifying at run time, the quality attributes that can influence the choice of a web service offered by a supplier. In this sense, it is essential to use metrics to evaluate the quality characteristics of Web services (QoS) in order to filter out Web services discovered, and obtain the most suitable one. The dynamic behavior of Web services regarding the development of new services and constantly changing existing ones, requires a continuous evaluation process, leading to capture web service information with respect to their quality and performance evaluation as requested by the workflow. This paper proposes a quantitative measurement method that allows evaluating QoS of web services, and provides a value that allows the comparison and selection that best meets the required characteristics.","PeriodicalId":220290,"journal":{"name":"2011 11th International Conference on ITS Telecommunications","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121376040","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}

Each user can view the traffic images taken by other vehicles whose turning directions or destinations are the same as that of the user's.

With good sensing capability, secondary users can effectively recycle the spectrum resource without disturbing active primary users. Energy detector (ED) is a commonly used and relatively simple spectrum sensing technique. In realistic environments, the CR receiver might operate at low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) regimes due to the channel fading and noise uncertainty. At low SNR cases, the performance of the EDs degrades dramatically as the signal and noise are mixed together after the operation of energy calculation. In this paper, a high-order statistics (HOS) based sequential test detector is investigated to sense the underutilized spectrum, particularly for low-SNR applications. We resort to HOS, in terms of cumulant statistics, for overwhelming the Gaussian noise effect and improving the spectrum sensing reliability. Based on these cumulants, a binary hypothesis testing problem is formulated and a low-complexity sequential probability ratio test (SPRT) is developed for efficiently and fast detecting the vacant spectrum so as to meet the sensing duration requirements. Our numerical results show that the proposed detector outperforms the conventional EDs at extremely low SNR environments.","PeriodicalId":220290,"journal":{"name":"2011 11th International Conference on ITS Telecommunications","volume":"85 4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130666902","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}
