Networking of several CPSs, the internal networking of CPSs components as well as the interconnection with other systems, is of major importance with respect to scientific, engineering and technical considerations; yet, it is also very challenging. In this paper we describe an architecture and methods which can be used for various networked CPSs. To base the system design and approaches on realistic requirements and devise suitable methods, we use tightly cooperating, mobile robots as application area. This is an example of challenging CPSs which put high demands on the networking methods. Nevertheless, the considerations are applicable to other CPSs as well. In order to enable networked mobile robots to perform individual and cooperative tasks, real-time support and network operations such as merge, split, and synchronize among clusters of such robots are needed. Further, management functions have to be provided which enable independent, but concurrent clusters to allocate and share scarce network resources. In the context of this paper, network resources are considered in a broad sense (e.g., time slots, frequency channels, codes) and assigned by a novel scheduling algorithm. Thus, a schedule means not only a sequence of time slots, but it takes all mentioned dimensions into account.","PeriodicalId":285899,"journal":{"name":"2019 16th IEEE Annual Consumer Communications & Networking Conference (CCNC)","volume":"277 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134312646","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 paper studies these two important issues. First, we introduce a new model for content requests in stationary environments. The common approach to model the requests is through the Poisson stochastic process. However, the Poisson stochastic process is not a very flexible model since it cannot capture the correlations between contents. To resolve this limitation, we instead introduce the Poisson Factor Analysis (PFA) model for this purpose. In PFA, the correlations are modeled through additional random variables embedded in a low dimensional latent space. The correlations provide rich information about the underlying statistical properties of content requests which can be used for advanced cache-placement algorithms. Secondly, to learn the model, we use Bayesian Learning, an efficient framework which does not overfit. This is crucial in edge-caching systems since only partial view of the entire request set is available at the local cache and the learning method should be able to estimate the content popularities without overfitting. In the simulation results, we compare the performance of our approach with the existing popularity estimation method.","PeriodicalId":285899,"journal":{"name":"2019 16th IEEE Annual Consumer Communications & Networking Conference (CCNC)","volume":"137 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134525822","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 current solution deployed by leading MNOs uses Dual IP 464XLAT to achieve address translation. There has been significant research on the dual IP system. However, an important area of study which is not investigated in detail is the correlation of 464XLAT in the multi-core architecture. We investigate the effects of this architecture on bandwidth utilization of mobile Smartphones with emphasis on multi-core scheduling algorithm. In this paper, we propose a novel networking packet scheduling scheme called CAA - CLAT Aware Affinity Scheduler for Next Generation Mobile Networks. CAA classifies the packets according to the characteristics and efficiently schedules among the CPU cores at its best effort for improved throughput in Dual Stack Smartphones. We also propose CAA-LITE, a lightweight version where the affinity scheduling is static with minimal steps. To illustrate the effectiveness of our proposed method, we conducted simulations in our lab at Samsung R&D India Bangalore and live air experiments in Samsung Electronics, South Korea. Our live air experiments show that the CAA outperforms the legacy by improving the throughput of around 90% under various operational conditions consistently. Moreover, our power consumption test shows that the CAA improves the power by 22% compared to original approaches.","PeriodicalId":285899,"journal":{"name":"2019 16th IEEE Annual Consumer Communications & Networking Conference (CCNC)","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125364413","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}

Successive Interference Cancellation (SIC) receivers enable multiple users to be scheduled in the same time-frequency resources while differentiated in power domain. Two user Power Domain NOMA (PD-NOMA) analysis clearly shows that the SNR difference between the users is very important in order to achieve inter-user interference cancellation. Hence user selection or pairing becomes crucial and can lead to heavy co-channel interference when users are paired wrongly. In order to overcome this problem, a new method of NOMA is proposed where the user pairing can be arbitrary, but an advanced receiver technique is used which enables successful decoding of the desired user’s data. A novel Gaussian Mixture based receiver is proposed. It is shown that the error rate performance of this detector is very close to that of a joint detector and the proposed technique can be used both in uplink and downlink directions. Another key contribution of this work is to show the over-modeling technique which enables the decoder to operate without having to know any prior information about the interferers. This enables a practical approach to build Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) based receivers for a variety of interference scenarios.","PeriodicalId":285899,"journal":{"name":"2019 16th IEEE Annual Consumer Communications & Networking Conference (CCNC)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125423546","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 may have a detrimental impact on cooperative vehicular safety applications that build on the reliable regular broadcasting of status messages by vehicles in a local neighborhood. Full-Duplex (FD) techniques can improve the broadcast CSMA/CA performance by letting a sending vehicle sense the channel while transmitting, thus enabling “collision detection”. The vehicle, consequently, can abort the packet prone to collision and reattempt a later transmission. In this paper, we define a stochastic geometry model that captures the collision detection capability of FD-enabled vehicles, while accurately characterizing the interference power generated by other vehicles on a road segment, and the dynamics of the backoff mechanism used for broadcast packet retransmissions. The model provides helpful insights into the FD broadcast CSMA/CA behaviour, highlighting a clear relationship between the settings for the carrier sense threshold and the collision detection threshold and the number of covered receivers on the road.","PeriodicalId":285899,"journal":{"name":"2019 16th IEEE Annual Consumer Communications & Networking Conference (CCNC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129118549","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}

Our goal in this context is to find high density areas within the affected area with abundance of messages concerning specific needs that we call simply as “situations”. Unfortunately, a direct spatial clustering is not only unstable or unreliable in the presence of mobility or changing conditions but also fails to recognize the fact that the “situation” expressed by a tweet remains valid for some time beyond the time of its emission. We address this by associating a decay function with each information content and define an incremental spatial clustering algorithm (ISCA) based on the decay model. We study the performance of incremental clustering as a function of decay rate to provide insights into how it can be chosen appropriately for different situations.","PeriodicalId":285899,"journal":{"name":"2019 16th IEEE Annual Consumer Communications & Networking Conference (CCNC)","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132485857","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}
