Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) is one of the effective method used for traffic classification. DPI is computationally expensive operation involving string matching between payload and application signatures. Existing traffic classification techniques perform multiple scans of payload to classify the application flows - first scan to extract the words and the second scan to match the words with application signatures. In this paper we propose an approach which can classify network flows with single scan of flow payloads using a heuristic method to achieve a sub-linear search complexity. The idea is to scan few initial bytes of payload and determine potential application signature(s) for subsequent signature matching. We perform experiments with a large dataset containing 171873 network flows and show that it has a good classification accuracy of 98%.","PeriodicalId":265871,"journal":{"name":"2020 International Conference on COMmunication Systems & NETworkS (COMSNETS)","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116680812","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 NB-IoT aims at providing cellular connectivity to low cost, low throughput, delay-tolerant devices, and hence, is a key technology for smart connected living. The NB-IoT specifications continue to evolve as part of 5G New Radio (NR), and the technology is expected to co-exist with 5G NR. A transmission bandwidth of 180 KHz is required to deploy the NB-IoT. In NB-IoT, the duration of the physical downlink control channel (NPDCCH) and the physical downlink shared channel (NPDSCH) changes dynamically. When the base station broadcasts the NPDCCH region, all the active NB-IoT devices try to decode it. Hence, to reduce the power consumption of the NB-IoT devices, more number of NB-IoT devices have to be scheduled in each scheduling attempt. For each payload in NPDCCH, there is a respective payload in NPDSCH. Thus, a base station should schedule the devices simultaneously in both NPDCCH and NPDSCH to reduce the resource wastage. The time-frequency resources in NB-IoT are limited and valuable. Further, the NB-IoT devices have low battery power constraint. Thus, scheduling the devices by considering the above constraints has a significant impact on the NB-IoT system performance. Motivated by this, we propose a joint scheduling algorithm for both NPDCCH and NPDSCH. We also define performance metrics to evaluate the impact of the proposed scheduler. With system-level simulations, we show that the proposed scheduler significantly outperforms the current state-of-the-art algorithms.","PeriodicalId":265871,"journal":{"name":"2020 International Conference on COMmunication Systems & NETworkS (COMSNETS)","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116683292","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 acoustic signal undergoes coherent or incoherent scattering at the sea surface, depending upon the surface roughness before reaching the receiver. In this work, we derive the AoA distribution for incoherent scattering for a single bounce path.

Traditionally, invasive mechanical ventilation was preferred. However, over the last two decades, various non-invasive practices have become popular as modes of respiratory support especially in premature cases. Unlike mechanical ventilation, these modes do not employ endo-tracheal tube and are commonly delivered by bi-nasal prongs through different mechanisms like Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP), which provides a continuous regulated supply of air/oxygen thus acting as an external breathing support. Providing a humidified output from the CPAP therapy improves comfort of the patient by offering protection against dry air, reducing the irritation. Yet another mechanism, Resuscitation, is an intervention after a baby is born to help it breathe and to help its heart beat. Oxygen therapy, Bubble CPAP Therapy and Resuscitation using bag-mask valve/ T-piece resuscitator are current treatment solutions used in NICU/ Inter & Intra-transport/Delivery Room (DR) due to its inexpensiveness thereby being most suitable for developing countries with limited resources.

It paves the way to leverage the full potential of 5G by increasing the efficiencies through differentiation and faster time-to-market. In this work, we propose a Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) Slice Resource Allocation Architecture (MSRAA) for supporting different network slices in the 5G data plane. MSRAA supports QoS parameters, including Guaranteed Bit Rate (GBR) and Maximum Delay Budget. Using long short-term memory (LSTM) neural networks, we predict network slices bandwidth requirements for efficiently allocating the resources. To reduce revenue loss to the network operators due to forecasting errors, the proposed Bandwidth Admission Control (BAC) algorithm, reallocates resources from lower priority slices (e.g., best-effort users) to higher priority slices (e.g., guaranteed service users). Using Mondrain Random Forests in our Delay Admission Control (DAC) algorithm, we predict the end-to-end delay and admit flows into slices that can satisfy delay requirements. We implement MSRAA on our advanced 5G Core testbed and evaluate User Service Request (USR) acceptances and do a complete cost-benefit analysis of our architecture. We show that for eMBB-GBR and eMBB-Non-GBR slices, our algorithm is showing a significant reduction in costs.","PeriodicalId":265871,"journal":{"name":"2020 International Conference on COMmunication Systems & NETworkS (COMSNETS)","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123967800","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 examples considered in this study are pollution monitoring and smart energy metering. In such applications, energy sustainability and communication and storage resource usage optimization are two of the key issues of interest. In this study, on one hand it is intended to develop indigenous beyond state of the art multi-sensing boards with the inherent smartness in energy replenishment and sensing/communication activities. On the other hand, smart data collection and processing at the end node (fog node or edge node) is of interest primarily from efficient communication bandwidth usage perspective. On the first exercise towards energy sustainable IoT sensing and communication board design, we have designed a prototype for a 5G capable environmental air pollution monitoring system. The system measures concentrations of NO2, ozone, CO and SO2 using semiconductor sensors. Further, the system gathers other environmental parameters like temperature, humidity, PM1, PM2.5 and PM10. The prototype is equipped with a GPS sub-system for accurate geo-tagging. The board communicates through Wi-Fi and NB-IoT. The board is also equipped with energy harvesting power management, and is powered through solar energy and battery backup. On the second exercise, a working model of a smart IoT device with a data pruning subsystem is designed, where a smart energy meter is considered for an example application. As a proof of concept we plan to demonstrate data compression at the edge to save bandwidth required for data transmission to a remote cloud. At each smart meter, sparsity of data is exploited to devise an adaptive data reduction algorithm using compressive sampling technique such that the bandwidth requirement for smart meter data transmission is reduced with minimum loss of information. The Smart Energy Meter is WiFi and NB-IoT enabled. This meter is capable of logging multiple energy consumption parameters. The overall objective has been demonstrating the ability of beyond state of the art circuits and system design for IoT communications, wherein context specific intelligence is applied at the at the node.

Many studies have focused on speed and time headway analysis under lane-disciplined and homogeneous traffic conditions, whereas limited studies have been conducted under weak lane-disciplined and mixed traffic conditions. Also, speed and time headway distributions are often not analyzed together. Vehicle speeds and arrival times are considered independent traffic parameters in the traffic simulation process, ignoring the correlation between vehicle speed and headway. The present paper intends to provide a report on the results of a study aimed at investigating and analyzing the effect of the different traffic flow and density levels on speed and time headway distributions of freeways under mixed traffic conditions. A large amount of speed and time headway data was collected using the Transportable Infra-Red Traffic Logger (TIRTL) instrument from three different intercity highways in the state of Tamil Nadu, India. Distribution of speed and time headway has been studied for various traffic flow and density levels. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov (K-S) test is used as the goodness-of-fit test to assess the statistical validity of each probability distributions before choosing the best fit distribution. The results from the study indicate significant variation in speed and time headway distributions and finally shows that the speed and time headway follow different probability distribution patterns under different traffic flow and density levels.","PeriodicalId":265871,"journal":{"name":"2020 International Conference on COMmunication Systems & NETworkS (COMSNETS)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132375556","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}
