Since the user's service duration may be greater than the coverage time of a LEO satellite, the user may be handed over to another visible satellite to prevent interruption of the ongoing communication. On the other hand, a mobile user may be covered by more than one satellite at the instant of connection handover. When the user is about to be handed over to another satellite, the serving satellite minimizing the number of handovers would in general be the one that provides the largest service time which is not necessarily equal to the coverage time of the very satellite. In this paper, we propose a new handover algorithm which exploits both the Global Positioning System (GPS) infrastructure and satellite diversity to provide a simple and real-time handover management in LEO satellite networks. The proposed algorithm not only minimizes the expected number of satellite handover, but is also efficient and easy to be implemented in hand-held devices, thus facilitating the mobile users' access to the satellite networks. Numerical simulations performed for two typical mobile satellite networks, viz. Iridium and Globalstar, corroborate the advantages gained by the proposed algorithm.","PeriodicalId":269263,"journal":{"name":"2015 17th Asia-Pacific Network Operations and Management Symposium (APNOMS)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121407083","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 a distributed clustering algorithm based on the group mobility and a revised group mobility metric which is derived from the instantaneous speed and direction of nodes. Our dynamic, distributed clustering approach use Gauss Markov group mobility model for mobility prediction that enables each node to anticipate its mobility relative to its neighbors. In particular, it is suitable for reflecting group mobility pattern where group partitions and mergence are prevalent behaviors of mobile groups. We also take the residual energy of nodes and the number of neighbor nodes into consideration. The proposed clustering scheme aims to form stable clusters by reducing the clustering iterations even in a highly dynamic environment. Simulation results show that the performance of the proposed framework is superior to two well-known clustering approaches, the MOBIC and DGMA, in terms of average number of clusterhead changes.","PeriodicalId":269263,"journal":{"name":"2015 17th Asia-Pacific Network Operations and Management Symposium (APNOMS)","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125940322","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 Japan, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare has issued the Security Guidelines for Health Information Systems which stipulates that proper measures should be taken for the network to preserve the patient data. The guideline also state that the management of the network must clarify demarcation of responsibility between network service providers including user. To keep the security regulation in communicating with external organizations, many medical institutions use several managed-VPN service lines separately according to the usages. It is because to avoid the risk of forming a virtual detour which can be used to leak the patient data. This makes the hospital bear the cost and inconvenience. To solve this problem, we propose a new secure network implementation method using single-line VPN network service for small-scale medical institution by arranging OpenFlow control technology with Healthcare PKI. The network works over a dynamic on-demand VPN with control based on the user certification responding their qualification, such as a medical doctor, written in the HPKI digital certificates.

Consequently, demand of delay and throughput sensitive services, like audio/video is also increasing. Information Centric Networking (ICN) is proposed as an architecture for the future Internet to meet the modern users and application requirements. In ICN users send requests (Interest Packets) for the Data they need. Interest packet is assigned a lifetime, which greatly affects the Quality of Experience (QoE) because user needs to resend the Interest, when the lifetime expires. Interest lifetime may be expired because of congestion, or Interest lifetime is shorter than the network delay, etc. Waiting for the expiration of an Interest lifetime to resend it is merely appropriate for best effort traffic, rather than services which require high throughput and are delay sensitive. In this paper, we propose Network-Assisted Congestion Control mechanism in ICN, which detects the congestion before it happens, and provides notification to downstream node. On reception of the notification, downstream node continuously reduces the traffic rate. However, when the downstream node fails to adjust the sending rate, the same procedure continues, until the sending node reduces the traffic rate through adjusting its congestion window. We have intensively evaluated our proposal by comparing it with similar proposal using ndnSIM. The experimental results show that our proposal achieves up to 59 percent performance improvement over other proposal in the literature.","PeriodicalId":269263,"journal":{"name":"2015 17th Asia-Pacific Network Operations and Management Symposium (APNOMS)","volume":"95 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130889330","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}

Some multi-controller architectures have been proposed to remedy such scalability issue. In this paper, we present our design and implementation of a routing application under a hierarchical multi-controller architecture. In this architecture, a network is partitioned into multiple domains, each of which is managed by a dedicated local controller, which is managed by a common global controller. The routing application is executed on the local and global controllers, jointly providing a routing service for each new flow. We provide effective mechanisms to reduce the link state that should be kept by the global controller. We propose a weight function on the links so that a weighted shortest path can be found that avoids the congested links on the network. Experiments results show that our routing application in the hierarchical multi-controller architecture has a great improvement over that of the single-controller architecture in terms various performance metrics.","PeriodicalId":269263,"journal":{"name":"2015 17th Asia-Pacific Network Operations and Management Symposium (APNOMS)","volume":"73 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132313096","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}

Numerous concepts and technologies have been proposed to approach this goal from various aspects of system design. A consensus reached so far is that 5G is going to be a collection of technology evolutions that include soft core networks, small or even no cellular, pervasive but invisible base stations, and heterogeneous yet self-organizing radio access networks. In addition to advanced radio access technologies, the success of such an ambitious goal really relies on a flexible and scalable network infrastructure to accommodate and harmonize these technologies. On the other hand, virtualization is viewed as one of the essential technologies of the 5G network to provide cost effectiveness of management, maintenance, and hardware upgrade.
