The method includes network dimensioning and antenna clustering with adaptability to the migration of hardware/virtualization technology and user over time.

The whole process does not need modifying the network server source code or relying on particular server programming languages. The research is useful to improve security of all kinds of network.

The main optimal direction of active probing is to maximize the coverage of nodes in the network by sending minimal set of probes from probe stations. Therefore, before probing, selecting optimizational station set to improve reachable rates of probed nodes has significant influence on detection effect of active probing. In this paper, we propose an optimizational strategy of probe station selection (PSS) by Genetic Algorithm (GA) and achieve the improvement of confirmed achievable rates of probed nodes.

The roadside unit(RSU) is one of the most important components for VANET. An effective deployment of RSUs will enhance the efficiency of the data delivery in VANET. In this paper, we propose to address the RSU deployment problem by formulating it as a mobility clustering problem. We adopt affinity propagation(AP) algorithm to capture the spatial temporal mobility influence in different time period. The union set of the obtained clustering centers which have the maximum influence to its cluster members is then the solution to RSU deployment. To validate our proposed deployment scheme, we evaluate the performance of the network with the deployed RSUs in terms of delivery ratio, average delay and hop count by adapting the conventional GPSR to VANET as the routing protocol. The simulation results show our proposed approach achieves near optimal solutions with much lower complexity compared to the exhaustive method.","PeriodicalId":269952,"journal":{"name":"The 16th Asia-Pacific Network Operations and Management Symposium","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132795833","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, we put forward a hierarchical model and a novel selection function considering the synergetic effect between devices. Then we elaborate a Synergy-aware Selection Mechanism (SSM) which includes three modules: service launch, device selection and service maintenance. We design a distributed core algorithm to integrate the devices and a dynamic updating weight method. The simulation results show that Synergy-aware Selection Mechanism can select a set of executive devices to ensure the service quality, continuity and smoothness.

We first focus on the buffer behaviors of the video player, and correlate the application QoS with the network QoS, based on the analytical model and mathematical model. Then the subjective tests and experiments are carried out to assess how application performance metrics affect the QoE, and the Back Propagation Neural Net (BPNN) is established to map the application QoS to the QoE.

Some numerical models are proposed to estimate traffic flow according to HOs and estimate traffic density according to CAs. Then the estimated traffic flow and estimated traffic density are adopted to calculate the estimated vehicle speed.
