Due to its greater coverage and low upfront investment, wireless networks have the potential to allow the massive and fast deployment of IoT. In recent years, relay wireless systems equipped with directional antennas have been identified as a robust technology that can boost the performance of IoT networks in terms of coverage, connectivity, and capacity. Contrary to omnidirectional antennas, which can radiate energy in all directions, directional antennas can focus the energy in a specific direction, extending the coverage range for a given power level. In this paper, we propose a method to model the energy consumed by the relaying nodes when directional antennas are used in the IoT wireless network. This study has demonstrated that by adapting the beamwidth of the antennas, nodes can reach furthest nodes and consequently, reduce the number of hops between source and destination. This fact not only reduces the end-to-end delay and improves the network throughput but also reduces the average energy consumed by the entire network.","PeriodicalId":268882,"journal":{"name":"2019 7th International Conference on Future Internet of Things and Cloud (FiCloud)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126688362","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}

However, due to its open and wireless nature, a CRN is vulnerable to fraudulent attacks, which might attempt to eavesdrop or modify the contents of packets being transmitted. Moreover, denying the opportunity to SUs to use a free band leads to underutilization of the spectrum space. In this context, it is most important as well as challenging to differentiate between networks under denial of service (DoS) attack from the ones experiencing congestion. This paper adopts the SUs performance measures of packet loss probability, mean queue length and mean throughput of the transmission node in order to devise a packet delivery ratio (PDR) for SUs aiming to determine whether or not the network is experiencing a DoS attack. PDR in this case is the ratio of the number of packets successfully forwarded from the encryption node to the SU transmitter. To this end, a generalized stochastic Petri net (GSPN) is proposed in order to investigate if the network is under a DoS attack and suggest a preventive strategy for an efficient network protection. Based on the application of the Mobius Petri Net Package, typical numerical simulation experiments are carried out and related operational interpretations are made.","PeriodicalId":268882,"journal":{"name":"2019 7th International Conference on Future Internet of Things and Cloud (FiCloud)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126142751","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}

However, the computational capacity of the fog resources is usually limited. On the other hand, the computational demands and real-time requirements of IoT applications continue to grow at a staggering rate. Consequently, it is imperative to explore alternative strategies that involve the collaboration between the fog and cloud resources. Towards this direction, in this paper we propose a strategy for the utilization of complementary cloud resources, in order to assist in the processing of real-time, computationally intensive IoT workflow jobs that arrive dynamically in a fog environment. As the cloud involves higher data transfer latency and monetary cost, our approach takes into account these two factors, in addition to the real-time constraints of the workload. The proposed scheduling approach is based on the tradeoff between performance and monetary cost. During resource selection, different contribution factors of these two parameters are investigated. Furthermore, the proposed scheduling heuristic is compared against a baseline policy that utilizes only the fog resources, under different sizes of workflow input data.","PeriodicalId":268882,"journal":{"name":"2019 7th International Conference on Future Internet of Things and Cloud (FiCloud)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121284055","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 propose an edge computing resource allocation model based on the continuous-cycle double auction mechanism (RABDA). Considering the emergency of task offloaded, we also propose real-time offloading strategy (RTOS) to ensure tasks are processed efficiently. We use genetic algorithm to determine the winner ESPs which are responsible for providing computational resources to UEs, and verify the performance of our algorithm by contrast experiment. The simulation results show that our algorithm can improve satisfaction between UEs and ESPs, and it has higher resource utilization than the existing algorithm.","PeriodicalId":268882,"journal":{"name":"2019 7th International Conference on Future Internet of Things and Cloud (FiCloud)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122870351","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}

It can be any smart device acting as an integral part of any smart system deployed in any environment, which requires remote supervision. To facilitate on-demand remote control of such smart systems, from any public server, that sever must be able to propagate the required signal to the appropriate devices. But, these devices are not publicly addressable as they reside behind various Network Address Translators (NAT). These devices even have energy constraints as they are battery powered. Therefore, for such devices, maintaining a TCP connection or performing repeated polling to the public server is not an energy efficient solution. This paper proposes a scheme that facilitates the server to maintain a UDP connection to the client residing behind a NAT, by dynamic determination of that NAT's translation entry lifetime and by maintaining the translation entry on that NAT through periodic keep-alives from the Server. Thus leading to an energy efficient solution towards on-demand acquiring of sensing resources for IoT based cloud services.","PeriodicalId":268882,"journal":{"name":"2019 7th International Conference on Future Internet of Things and Cloud (FiCloud)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122712236","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 overcome the interoperability issues, semantic-based technologies are used to makes devices understand and share heterogeneous data among various devices in an IoT system. In this paper, an existing farming ontology has been extended by adding several crucial classes taking rice crop as a case study. The appended classes include water, pesticide, nutrients, and seed-related classes. Based on all the classes of the ontology, SWRL rules have been defined to infer knowledge with the help of Jess rule engine.
