One popular example are pervasive mobile multiplayer games, where interactions with other users or physical objects in the real world are part of the gameplay. This induces a notion of locality, as a user's actions affect other nearby users. However, this locality in the interaction is not reflected in the underlying communication system. Events triggered by users are sent via the cellular connection to a remote data center, where they are processed and then distributed to other players, again via the cellular link. In this work, we demonstrate an event dissemination system that utilizes the available local communication interfaces of today's smartphones to distribute events in groups of nearby players. The system executes transitions between different communication interfaces (e.g., Bluetooth or Wi-Fi Direct) and the utilized dissemination protocol depending on the size and density of the group of players, thereby exploiting the characteristics of the chosen interface. Attendees can experience the resulting benefits in terms of latency and update frequency by playing our mobile pervasive multiplayer game TowerWorld at the venue.","PeriodicalId":221796,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 16th International Symposium on A World of Wireless, Mobile and Multimedia Networks (WoWMoM)","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132821579","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 proposed contention resolution scheme is designed for scalability, efficiency, and fairness. Unlike traditional contention resolution schemes, the proposed contention resolution scheme uses idle time of channel as a measure of the channel condition. Idle time of channel is not only a much more reliable and versatile measure of channel condition than the traditional way of collision detection using ACK, it also makes it possible to use the proposed contention resolution scheme in situations where ACK is not expected such as with broadcast and multicast messages or in fully distributed synchronization procedures. The simulation study confirms that the proposed scheme exhibits high degree of scalability, efficiency, and fairness.","PeriodicalId":221796,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 16th International Symposium on A World of Wireless, Mobile and Multimedia Networks (WoWMoM)","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130552118","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}

Collaborative driving is a rapidly evolving trend in intelligent transportation system. Current communication services provided by vehicular ad-hoc network (VANET) cannot guarantee fail-safe operation. We present a fail safe broadcast protocol (FSBP) that resides between the cooperative driving applications and VANET to make the cooperative driving applications work in a safer way. The protocol uses synchronized clocks with the help of GPS to schedule the broadcast transmissions of the participants. Electing not to transmit at a scheduled time is a unique message that cannot be lost because of a noisy or lost communication channel. This message is used to abort a collaborative operation and revert to an autonomous driving mode, similar to the current generation of intelligent vehicles, in which a vehicle protects itself. We describe a particular, simple protocol that uses a token passing mechanism. We specify the protocol as a finite state machine and use probabilistic verification to verify the protocol. This is the first formal verification of a multi-party broadcast protocol.","PeriodicalId":221796,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 16th International Symposium on A World of Wireless, Mobile and Multimedia Networks (WoWMoM)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132004263","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}

With the help of simulations we show that our algorithm is able to detect nodes in the network based on their delays with reasonable accuracy using only O(n) probes for obtaining measurements.

As such, creating mobile applications that dynamically discover and integrate ambient functionality across multiple vertical markets remains challenging. In this paper, we introduce a novel middleware framework, called Ambient Control, which enables commodity mobile devices (e.g., smart-phones) to dynamically mediate control messaging between incompatible smart devices situated in the user's environment. Ambient Control enables a variety of control capabilities and protocol translation services to be dynamically installed into a user's mobile device on-demand using plug-ins. The approach also features an intuitive “Tap to Interact” workflow that allows a user to tap nearby smart devices with a smart-phone to install required interaction plug-ins and automatically “wire” them together in interesting and potentially unforeseen ways. In this paper, we present a detailed overview of the Ambient Control framework, introduce our fully functional prototype, and present an evaluation indicating that the prototype provides efficient messaging performance and imposes low processing and memory overhead, making it suitable for deployment on many commodity mobile devices.","PeriodicalId":221796,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 16th International Symposium on A World of Wireless, Mobile and Multimedia Networks (WoWMoM)","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133446133","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}

This information aids them in avoiding delays and uncertainties on the road, enhancing their navigation experience. Several US departments of transportation provide information from street cameras in the form of a snapshot of a particular location on a Google map. However, it is difficult for drivers to manually select cameras on the map to obtain consolidated information about road conditions along a particular route. In this paper, we design an energy-efficient mobile service that provides drivers with a convenient interface to observe live camera coverage along a route. Our proposed solution comprises an Android application and a cloud-based proxy service between smartphones and traffic cameras. The proxy provides an abstraction layer over different communication protocols adopted by traffic cameras, and transfers camera images for a specified route to the smartphone as a batch, thereby reducing communication overhead and improving user response time. By employing an in-memory cache, the proxy server maintains the most recently accessed camera images and reduces camera polling. We integrate our solution with traffic cameras from cities in Massachusetts, New York, and Washington DC, and demonstrate its reduced energy consumption and reduced response time.","PeriodicalId":221796,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 16th International Symposium on A World of Wireless, Mobile and Multimedia Networks (WoWMoM)","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124925872","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}

DissFlow is first analytically formulated and analyzed, before being evaluated by simulation means on the iTETRIS platform.
