Today, however, users need to give up privacy in exchange for connectivity: they are required to expose their identity in order to be granted access. This information can be used to track users and to generate usage and movement profiles. We identify the challenges of providing a maximum level of privacy and anonymity in a WiFi community. From a discussion of privacy properties of existing architectures, we arrive at a privacy-aware WiFi sharing design for fully anonymous usage-without sacrificing any participant's security or legal safety. This system, like some previous designs, relays a mobile user's data via this user's home network; we discuss how and under which circumstances this contributes to privacy and anonymity. In order to enable users to remain fully anonymous in such a system, a means to locate the home network of a user without leaking permanent identifiers is needed. We introduce and evaluate volatile host names, a novel method to generate anonymized, non-persistent host names in standard DNS.","PeriodicalId":232205,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE Globecom Workshops","volume":"406 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126681895","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}

Multimedia applications such as broadband voice transmission and real-time video streaming are very delay-sensitive and need guaranteed throughput. On the other hand, applications like file transfer and email services are relatively delay tolerant so variable-rate transmission is acceptable. This paper is different from most existing work on adaptive resource allocation. In this paper, we investigate the resource allocation problem in a heterogeneous cognitive multi-user OFDM system with both delay-sensitive (DS) and delay-tolerant (DT) services. To cope with this heterogeneous problem we combine the rate adaptive (RA) and margin adaptive (MA) principle. The purpose is to maximize the total rate of all DT services while maintaining guaranteed throughput of DS services under the constraint of primary user in cognitive radio network (CRN). For DS users a low complexity bit allocation algorithm based on geometric progression is proposed and for DT users a linear water-filling algorithm is used. Numerical results are executed to evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithms in terms of service outage probability, achievable transmission rate for DT users.","PeriodicalId":232205,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE Globecom Workshops","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124142862","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}

Our proposed system makes use of an autonomous, wireless connected swarm of Micro UAVs, that is featured with a lightweight mobile sensor system. For this purpose a mobile ad hoc remote sensing network is set up in the air, that allows for calculation of potential fields like a aerosol propagation maps or 3D geomorphologies. Next to this system-of-systems approach, we uniquely show how to optimize the spatial sensor coverage while maintaining the communication quality.

Common battery-powered sensor nodes require security techniques that eliminate redundant processing overhead for resource conservation, without compromising the overall network performance. To address this issue, this paper presents USAS: Unpredictable Software-based Attestation Solution, a node compromise detection algorithm in mWSNs. USAS deploys dynamic node attestation chains to decrease checksum computation time by almost 48% for selective attested nodes. By decentralizing the network, the attestation is unpredictable, preventing malicious data injection. The performance of USAS is estimated in terms of node compromise detection rate.","PeriodicalId":232205,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE Globecom Workshops","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127779557","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 successfully transmit high-definition uncompressed real-time video signals on two lightpaths established by our control system without degradation of video quality, while other packet data are transferred in the same optical fibers. The developed system also has a function of adaptive resource change of packet switching and circuit switching. Time distances for resource change and lightpath setup are negligible, and therefore users do not feel stress for path establishment as the following results prove. Controller PCs can achieve lightpath establishment and automatic resource-allocation within approximately 500ms and 830ms, respectively, at the best possible case in our experimental setup.","PeriodicalId":232205,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE Globecom Workshops","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128943609","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 scheme is a cross-layer optimization for two-hop relaying that uses position information to jointly optimize relay selection and relay transmit power, maximizing Medium Access Control layer throughput. Further, in order to calculate the expected throughput, we apply a probabilistic model that takes into account MAC retransmissions and timing behavior of the IEEE 802.11 Distributed Coordination Function mode.

The multi-metric contains the geographic distance and the time, which is called sleeping-delay in this paper, the forwarding node waits to forward packet to the neighbor node after it wakes up. We recognize the fact that in random duty-cycled WMSNs, geographic routing should not only consider the geographic distance of the neighbor node but also the sleeping-delay of the node at that moment. The significant difference between our work and the TPGF is that our work pays more attentions to the demand of finding a single routing path with low sleeping-delay at a certain time using TPGF while the traditional TPGF algorithm focuses on finding all node-disjoint paths in the given network topology. Simulations are conducted to evaluate that the McTPGF reduces the end-to-end delay with the cost of adding few hop counts compared with the traditional TPGF algorithm in random duty-cycled WMSNs.","PeriodicalId":232205,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE Globecom Workshops","volume":"1 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132624536","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}
