Recently, the focus has been moved to seeking ways to increase the energy efficiency by better adapting to the existing users behaviors. In this paper, we are going a step further in studying a new type of disruptive service by trying to answer the question “What are the potential energy efficiency gains if some of the users are willing to tolerate delays?”. We present an analytical model of the energy usage of LTE base stations, which provides lower bounds of the possible energy gains under a decentralized, non-cooperative setup. The model is analyzed in six different scenarios (such as micro-macro cell interaction and coverage redundancy) for varying traffic and user-tolerable delays. We show that it is possible to reduce the power consumption by up to 30%.","PeriodicalId":233798,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE Global Communications Conference (GLOBECOM)","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131272151","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 objective consists in minimising the number of deployed geographical field installations along the river, while ensuring the detection of the substance spilled in the given river regardless of the position of its source. A geographical field installation is formed by a set of barrier coverage underwater sensors which detect the pollutant if its molarity in the water is greater than a predefined threshold. Indeed, the substance molarity is inversely proportional to the moving distance. To generate the best topology, we propose a sub-optimal novel geographic Installation Field Deployment Algorithm based on the Backtracking heuristic named BT-FIDA. Since the river has a several forks, in order to reduce the number of installation fields, BT-FIDA minimises the rate of at least 2-covered river segments. The simulation results obtained show that our proposal minimises the number of field installations (i.e., deployment cost) while minimising the rate of areas which are miss-covered and over-covered.","PeriodicalId":233798,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE Global Communications Conference (GLOBECOM)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130916784","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 is why its success strongly depends on the efficiency of the physical resource management. This paper deals with dynamic resource reconfiguration to achieve high resource utilisation and to increase Cloud providers income. We propose a new adaptive virtual network resource reconfiguration strategy named VNR-GA to handle dynamic users' needs and to adapt virtual resource allocation according to the applications' requirements. The proposed algorithm VNR-GA is based on Genetic metaheuristic and takes advantage of resources migration techniques to recompute the resource allocation of instantiated virtual networks. In order to optimally adapt the resource allocation according to customers' needs growth, the main idea behind the proposal is to sequentially generate populations of reconfiguration solutions that minimise both the migration and mapping cost and then select the best reconfiguration solution. VNR-GA is validated by extensive simulations and compared to the most prominent related strategy found in literature (i.e., SecondNet). The results obtained show that VNR-GA reduces the rejection rate of i) virtual networks and ii) resource upgrade requests and thus enhances Cloud Provider revenue and customer satisfaction. Moreover, reconfiguration cost is minimised since our proposal reduces both the amount of migrated resources and their new mapping cost.","PeriodicalId":233798,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE Global Communications Conference (GLOBECOM)","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121232746","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}

EEP, in b/s/Hz, is defined as the difference between the spectral efficiency (SE) and the transmit power scaled by a parameter which represents the penalty on the transmit power. We provide an optimal power adaptation policy to this problem which is either given by the global optimum, if feasible, or given by the boundary point where the objective function intersects the constraint. Further, we apportion the total transmit power into delay-sensitive power, which is the minimum power required to meet the EC constraint and delay-insensitive power, which is the residual power used to maximize the EEP of the link. Simulation results show that delay-sensitive power is an exponentially increasing function of minimum EC while delay-insensitive power decays to zero for higher values of minimum EC. Further, delay-insensitive power increases while delay-sensitive power exponentially decreases with number of subchannels in the system.","PeriodicalId":233798,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE Global Communications Conference (GLOBECOM)","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127473155","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}

Coverage in BRSN is much more difficult than that in traditional sensor networks as the sensing area of a bistatic radar depends on the positions of its component transmitter and receiver, and is in general of an elliptical shape. We first investigate the geometrical relationship between the c-coverage area of a bistatic radar and the distance between its component transmitter and receiver, based on which we reduce the number of candidate bistatic radars from all transmitter-receiver pairs. Then we reduce the problem dimension by transforming the area coverage problem to point coverage problem by employing intersection point concept. Finally we propose an efficient algorithm to solve the Point Coverage Problem, which thus solves the area coverage problem.

The sensor nodes used in such networks are powered by batteries that are difficult to recharge or replace. Hence it is imperative that routing algorithms used in such networks be very energy efficient while also satisfying necessary delay constraints for time-sensitive applications. Unlike the radio frequency medium, underwater acoustic channels have low bandwidth, large propagation delays and long multipath delay spreads. While energy-efficient routing is an actively researched area for terrestrial radio frequency networks, results from those studies generally do not apply to underwater acoustic networks due to vast differences in channel characteristics. In this paper we explore delay-constrained energy optimization for routing in underwater acoustic sensor networks. Specifically, we propose an offline Mixed Integer Linear Programming based routing algorithm that enables computation of delay constrained energy efficient routes.","PeriodicalId":233798,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE Global Communications Conference (GLOBECOM)","volume":"14 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":"115234703","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}

So the average transmitted optical intensity is constrained by a target illumination intensity which is determined by the nominal optical intensity of light source devices and the dimming target. The derivation of the upper bound is based on signal space geometry via a sphere-packing argument. The lower bound is derived through the maximum mutual information between the channel input and output, which is determined by the source entropy maximization.

We show that it is well modeled as a shifted lognormal random process, and is more accurate than the lognormal, Gaussian, and symmetric truncated stable models considered in the literature even for a relatively dense deployment of SUs. Our model accounts for the effect of imperfect spectrum sensing, which depends on path loss, shadowing, and fading of the link from primary transmitter to the SU, and the randomness in the number of SUs and their locations. It also allows for both interweave and underlay modes of CR operation.

In the first scheme, the D2D transmitter (DT) is enabled to decode and regenerate the cellular signal, and transmit the cellular signal by superposing it with its own signal. In this way, the interference from the D2D pair to the cellular pair can be canceled by properly allocating time and power. To further exploit the transmission opportunity for the D2D pair, in the second scheme the cellular transmitter splits its signal into two parts and broadcasts these two parts in a superposition signal. DT relays only one part of the cellular signal. Analytic and numerical results confirm the efficiency of the proposed schemes.","PeriodicalId":233798,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE Global Communications Conference (GLOBECOM)","volume":"170 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":"116627667","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}
