In order to do that we devised a measurement method that allows to reliably reproduce interfering signals with very high accuracy timing-relations between interfering OFDM frames. We present the measurement results that were gathered using this novel approach which provide detailed insight on the characteristics of current receiver implementations in terms of their capability to successfully decode OFDM-frames which are overlapped in time by one or more lower-power frames received on the same carrier frequency (commonly referred to as physical layer capture). Subsequently, we adapt the simulation model in order to reflect the observed capture capabilities and quantify the resulting impact on system level simulation results in a high-density VANET application scenario.","PeriodicalId":240086,"journal":{"name":"2015 8th IFIP Wireless and Mobile Networking Conference (WMNC)","volume":"119 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133190738","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 wireless networks the unreliable wireless channel leads to two major problems. Low available data rates degrade video quality and interrupt the playback when a user cannot sufficiently fill its local playout buffer: playback interruptions occur. In contrast, high available data rates cause common greedy buffering schemes to buffer too much data. Such over-buffering wastes wireless resources. Assuming that we can predict future data rates, we plan the quality and download time of video segments ahead. This anticipatory download scheduling avoids playback interruptions by downloading a large number of segments before a drop in available data rate occurs, without wasting wireless capacity by excessive buffering. In previous work we assumed a perfect prediction of future available data rates. Here we assume uncertain predictions, which are subject to errors and are only available for a limited future. We developed a stochastical model for prediction errors and implemented a new scheduling algorithm that is aware of prediction errors. Our results show that anticipatory download scheduling is feasible even with uncertain predictions and reduces playback interruptions while delivering a high video quality.","PeriodicalId":240086,"journal":{"name":"2015 8th IFIP Wireless and Mobile Networking Conference (WMNC)","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126918382","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}

To serve as the benchmark for performance, we compare LISP-MN with the IETF standardised MIPv6. We implement the 2 protocols on a laboratory test bed comprising all the nodes necessary for their operation. For multi-interface MNs, LISP-MN shows a better response in soft handover scenarios in terms of throughput and packet loss. MIPv6 on the other hand shows shorter handover delay with lower service disruption time in a hard handover scenario. Both protocols demonstrate poor performance for a single interface MN due to the long handover delay experienced. Although LISP-MN's handover control messages doubled that of MIPv6, our experiments show that it takes a similar time as MIPv6 to complete the handover message exchange.","PeriodicalId":240086,"journal":{"name":"2015 8th IFIP Wireless and Mobile Networking Conference (WMNC)","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126431887","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}

Diversity is achieved through using orthogonal space-time block coding technique (OSTBC) at the transmitter. OSTBC is used to encode a BPSK modulated signal before being transmitted through the channel. At the destination, signals are combined using a Maximal Ratio Combiner (MRC) and detected using a Maximum-Likelihood (ML) detector. The system is evaluated in terms of capacity and BER using different power allocation techniques. The performance of studied system has been compared with single-input single-output (SISO) system, AF SISO, and conventional MIMO systems.

Further, the results have been shown that using optimal power allocation in AF MIMO relaying systems enhances the BER and capacity.","PeriodicalId":240086,"journal":{"name":"2015 8th IFIP Wireless and Mobile Networking Conference (WMNC)","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127620114","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}

Thus, mechanisms to optimize the efficiency of the security mechanisms in regard to authentication delay and channel load are required. Prior work has focused on scenarios with high node mobility, e.g., Freeways. However, bandwidth conserving mechanisms are also required for urban low and medium mobility scenarios to enable foreseen extension of the wireless network for the many other volatile road users like pedestrians. Hence, an approach for efficient pseudonym certificate distribution in urban scenarios is provided in this work.

They are intended to increase traffic safety by enabling new safety critical driver assistance systems. This also means that strong security mechanisms are required to safeguard communication within VANETs. However, standardized security mechanisms lead to significant overhead in terms of data rate requirement and delay. Prior work has focused on reducing the overhead by advanced strategies for pseudonym and authorization authority certificate exchange. However, we find that this is not enough to enable reliable message exchange in VANETs. Various other sources of overhead caused by security mechanisms in VANETs are identified in the provided analysis. Thereby, we find cross layer and cross message dependencies. In combination with the non-fragmentation property of VANET messages, such dependencies are discovered to lead to massive dropping of packets due to maximum size violations at low protocol layers. Thus, we develop a method for cross layer on demand content assembling for VANET messages, which can avoid the size limit violations without preventing individual layers from disseminating their variable length data sets.","PeriodicalId":240086,"journal":{"name":"2015 8th IFIP Wireless and Mobile Networking Conference (WMNC)","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128773122","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}
