Its aim is to select the minimum number of sensors able to cover the phenomena and to report not correlated data to the sink in order to reduce distortion. The proposed protocol is called Minimal Distortion with Maximal Cover (MDMC) protocol and it tries, on the one hand, to gradually expand the covered phenomenon area and, on the other hand to reduce the distortion that arises from the interaction of the sensors. To reach this goal, the protocol uses two heuristics along with an activation technique, the first ones select the sensors on the basis of their features, whereas the second one decreases the number of sensors which take part in the coalition formation process. The proposed has been compared with a cluster based protocol such as Local Negotiated Clustering Algorithm (LNCA).","PeriodicalId":274628,"journal":{"name":"2018 11th IFIP Wireless and Mobile Networking Conference (WMNC)","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134006541","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 complexity is further compounded by the absence of a name resolution system. We describe NetService, a service that frees application developers and deployers from this burden. NetService runs on the nodes and auto-configures a predefined MANET at the request of applications. It handles IP address assignment and includes a name resolution mechanism that provides a hierarchical naming scheme and is compatible with a standard resolver. The service provides an API to configure the nodes and another one for exchanging messages, abstracting applications from the details of network access.","PeriodicalId":274628,"journal":{"name":"2018 11th IFIP Wireless and Mobile Networking Conference (WMNC)","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126952723","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}

FBMC has been widely deployed for broadband wireless communications. Nevertheless, one of the drawbacks of the FBMC systems is a large peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) in its time domain signal. This leads to a nonlinear distortion when the signal is passed through a high power amplifier (HPA) of a transmitter. In this paper, an analytical computation of the HPA characteristic based on the orthogonal polynomial method for baseband uniform, exponential, and Rayleigh input distribution with odd and even polynomial coefficient order is proposed. The HPA modelling error comparison between the proposed orthogonal method and the conventional polynomial method is investigated at a different IBO. Simulation results show that the proposed orthogonal polynomial method is superior to the conventional polynomial method. Moreover, the HPA modelling error of the proposed orthogonal polynomial method for uniform input distribution yield better result compared with the exponential and the Rayleigh input distribution case.","PeriodicalId":274628,"journal":{"name":"2018 11th IFIP Wireless and Mobile Networking Conference (WMNC)","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124478305","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 approach depends on each vehicle advertising its location information. Since the pseudonyms (identifiers) of the vehicles are also broadcast, attackers can track any vehicle of interest, violating privacy of the drivers. The most widely accepted defense is continuous pseudonym updates. We present BOTVEILLANCE, an adaptive cooperative surveillance attack by vehicular botnets—effective even against the best existing pseudonym changing scheme. It is the first long-range global-scale surveillance attack that is solely performed by vehicles themselves without depending on any additional hardware. Since we use our vehicular bots, our surveillance attack is not confined to a specific area. We show via simulation that our attack can keep a vehicle under surveillance up to 85 percent of its route, and identify its destination address 90 percent of the time.","PeriodicalId":274628,"journal":{"name":"2018 11th IFIP Wireless and Mobile Networking Conference (WMNC)","volume":"71 1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128683381","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}

They can also be very useful in medical applications, as an individual’s indoor movements can be indicative of his/her clinical status. Research for indoor localization systems is ongoing and there are numerous solutions with different hardware or algorithmic approaches, for different use cases. Ease of setup and cost are significant factors when using indoor localization systems for medical applications. This paper proposes an indoor localization system with room-level accuracy, focusing on an easy installation procedure that can be easily followed from non-technical staff, as well as on low cost, so that it can be widely adopted. The proposed system has been mainly designed for behavioural monitoring of adults in an indoor environment. The system operates by tracking a carried device based on the processing of RSS (Received Signal Strength) measurements from Bluetooth Low Energy beacons placed in the area. The proposed system has been evaluated in realistic settings and and achieves an accuracy of 95.31% in room estimation.","PeriodicalId":274628,"journal":{"name":"2018 11th IFIP Wireless and Mobile Networking Conference (WMNC)","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126740488","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 kind of problem usually contribute to dramatically reduce the network performance especially at MAC (Medium Access Control) layer. Although sectorized approaches could be used in order to limit this issue, an high accuracy in the estimation of the future position of the nodes is required for granting the mitigation of the handoff and at the same time an overall improvement of the network performance. In view of this, we propose a versatile predictive location mechanism that provides for an high-efficiency tracking of the position of the nodes by using a frame scheduler with priority.","PeriodicalId":274628,"journal":{"name":"2018 11th IFIP Wireless and Mobile Networking Conference (WMNC)","volume":"76 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129993915","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}
