For the sake of efficient utilization of multiple paths many load balancing techniques are proposed in the literature. These load balancing proposals mainly deal with distribution of traffic among multiple paths. While balancing the traffic among multiple paths, few proposals also take care of congestion. Flow level solutions avoid flow splitting to preventing the packet reordering at the destination. These solutions try for rerouting (change the path) of flow dynamically based on the feedback received from the network. In case of link failures rerouting of the flow, based on the queue size of the remote switch alone may be sub-optimal. This paper proposes FlowFurl, an adaptive, distributed, end host driven and flow level load balancing technique. This adaptive routing technique supports dynamic flow-to-path assignment. This flow-to-path assignment is not only based on the congestion at the switch, but also the status of the links along the path. The simulation results show that utilizing connectivity information with congestion information can help to design better load balancing scheme.","PeriodicalId":248902,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Conference on Advanced Networks and Telecommunications Systems (ANTS)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128454646","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 trend would sustain in future communication networks as well, especially in the Wi-Fi networks. This could be attributed to rapid growth of business and institutional entities and the need for cellular data off-loading for which localized Wi-Fi networks are preferred due to higher offered data rate. In such networks, a major portion of energy consumption occurs at the access network entities making energy efficient operation of Wi-Fi access points (APs) extremely crucial. In this paper, an actor-critic (AC) reinforcement learning (RL) framework is designed to enable traffic based ON/OFF switching of APs in Wi-Fi network. Furthermore, previously estimated traffic statistics is exploited in future scenarios which speeds up the learning process and provide additional improvement in energy saving. The important feature of the present study is the validation of the proposed framework on real data collected from an institute's Wi-Fi network. The simulation results for 20 APs of a Wi-Fi network shows that the proposed framework can lead to around 75% saving in energy consumption as compared to the case when AP switching is not considered.","PeriodicalId":248902,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Conference on Advanced Networks and Telecommunications Systems (ANTS)","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131934724","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}

These applications are having relatively different energy saving, reliability and quality of service (QoS) requirements. The existing MAC protocols present in various short and medium range wireless technologies such as 802.11 and 802.15.4 have been designed for specific purposes, and therefore, do not fulfill the diverse performance requirements across all WBAN applications. In this paper, we propose a poll-based MAC protocol (PMAC) for WBAN, which can meet such a diversified functional requirements of various WBAN applications. In particular, we introduce few concepts in polling based channel access mechanism to make an energy efficient and QoS aware MAC protocol.

As energy consumed by LTE user equipment (UE) is of keen interest to researchers working in wireless networks, they often analyze the energy consumed by a UE when running network simulations.

In literature, the LTE UE energy expenditure is profiled and modeled for a commercial UE. A corresponding implementation of the same is needed in NS-3. In this paper, we present the design and implementation details of LTE UE energy model in NS-3 and then validate it by running various experiments. Our implementation of LTE UE energy consumption model yields the expected power profile in our experiments with varying scheduling of resources to UEs.

When combined with multiple input multiple output (MIMO) technology, which achieves high spectral efficiency, CR MIMO can serve as a solution to the ever increasing demand for spectrum. Antenna selection is a signal processing technique that improves the performance of MIMO systems and reduces their hardware complexity and cost. Throughput based antenna selection utilizes cross layer information to select the subset of antennas that maximizes system throughput, resulting in improved overall system performance. In this paper we propose transmit antenna selection that maximizes the throughput of underlay CR MIMO systems subject to interference constraints at the primary user (PU) receiver(s). Performance is further improved by integrating adaptive modulation into the scheme to simultaneously select the antenna(s) and modulation scheme that optimizes the performance. Numerical results show that the proposed scheme has superior performance compared to conventional antenna selection which maximizes capacity.","PeriodicalId":248902,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Conference on Advanced Networks and Telecommunications Systems (ANTS)","volume":" 6","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"113949631","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}

Most of the routing protocols available in the literature are prone to high control overhead and are less efficient. An elastic routing technique utilizing overhearing feature, is an efficient protocol with less control overhead for routing the data, from a single static source to a mobile sink. But, when there are multiple static sources, the delivery of data to the mobile sink pose huge delay and high traffic. Here we propose an efficient routing algorithm utilizing the feature of overhearing to route the packets from all the source nodes to the mobile sink. We use a modified version of iterative-1 Steiner tree algorithm with elastic routing, for finding the shortest path to the mobile destination, with minimum control packet overhead. Calculation of Steiner points is dynamic in nature, so as to adapt to the topological changes. The simulation results show that the proposed approach is better in-terms of data rate, energy efficiency and control overhead. Test-bed results indicate that the proposed approach can be used effectively in WSN, where topological changes are frequent.","PeriodicalId":248902,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Conference on Advanced Networks and Telecommunications Systems (ANTS)","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121254592","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, we make two contributions: first, we propose a back pressure based congestion avoidance model for NDN which leverages the benefits of Active Queue Management (AQM) mechanisms. Using this model, we apply the existing AQM mechanisms like Random Early Detection (RED), Adaptive RED (ARED), Controlled Delay (CoDel) and Proportional Integral controller Enhanced (PIE) in NDN.
