However, due to the random and uncontrolled deployment of femtocells within users premises, interference between femtocells themselves and with macrocell base stations is a major issue. In this work, we look into the interference management problem and work towards the development of an interference mitigation algorithm based on the localization of randomly positioned femtocells using radio environmental information. In particular, we show that based on building floorplans and basic information on the urban landscape, femtocells can accurately localize themselves using macrocellular base stations as anchor nodes. Based on the localized femtocell positions, various channel allocation schemes are employed to mitigate interference.","PeriodicalId":220393,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference (WCNC)","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-04-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125867850","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 a more self-contained approach is introduced by which merely inertial units within the smartphone are utilized. By the Pedestrian Dead Reckoning technique, all kinds of indoor location information are provided at users' disposal. With the gyroscope, the attitude of smartphone is measured. So the real time accelerations in standard coordinate system without gravity component can be calculated. Here only vertical acceleration signals are made use of to extract the features for steps counting as well as step lengths estimation. A series of algorithms are employed to eliminate the noise and deviation, such as Zero Velocity Compensation, Moving Average Filter, Kalman Filter, and Successive Peaks Merging. Particularly the whole walking process is divided into small segments in each of which only straight walking, no stop, no turn is contained. So, different segments are processed respectively with distinctive parameters. The breakpoints are determined by moving variance analysis for accelerations and rotation angles, after which the heading and length of every step are acquired so that the mileage and position can be updated, closely followed by moving trajectory. In experiments, the average deviation of our approach is 0.48 m.","PeriodicalId":220393,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference (WCNC)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-04-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129530329","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}

Experimental results demonstrate that our overcomplete sparse dictionary can enhance the major underlying structure characteristics of sparse representation, which are mapped into the regions with continuous dimensionality, not the same dimensionality, and improve the discrimination among data which belong to different classes.

In this paper we propose a novel distributed solution (RAND) for the detection of node replication attack in static WSNs which combines random walks with network division and works in two phases. In the first phase called network configuration phase, the entire network is divided into different areas. In the second phase called replica detection phase, the clone is detected by following a claimer-reporter-witness framework and a random walk is employed within each area for the selection of witness nodes. Simulation results show that our scheme outperforms the existing witness node based strategies with moderate communication and memory overhead.","PeriodicalId":220393,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference (WCNC)","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-04-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127234496","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}

Achievable rate is calculated by considering information on signal strength of clients, airtime and effective noise floor (NF). While measuring the effective NF of a channel, adjacent channel rejection (ACR) capability of access point (AP) is taken into account. We fully characterized the ACR performance of an AP via conducted tests carried out in laboratory environment. This ACR information is then used to compute the effective NF of channels that encounter adjacent channel interference (ACI). The proposed IACS algorithm is implemented and its performance is demonstrated in an example scenario. It is shown that with the use of IACS, network sustains high throughput values even in the presence of powerful interference sources in the vicinity, whereas schemes that do not consider ACI fail even to provide communication.","PeriodicalId":220393,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference (WCNC)","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-04-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129058969","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 work presented in the paper is based on multi-hop approach. Therefore, the plausible algorithms employing the scheme COFS are proposed to engage in effective data collection. As a result, both the proposed scheme and algorithms are significant to obtain low energy consumption as well as increase the lifetime of sensors inside the network.
