Among them, there are deadline constrained applications. When the traffic generated by applications traverses Virtual Network Functions (VNFs) chains, it may not be possible to meet the deadlines when the traffic is processed sequentially; even if very fast servers are provisioned to host the VNFs. We propose a parallel VNF processing approach for the traffic. This is done through pools of candidate servers that host VNFs which process the traffic. Considering the routing policy provided by the SDN routing application, the server selection problem with the aim of deadline satisfaction and cost minimization is modeled as a non-linear binary optimization problem. An iterative search algorithm is proposed to solve this problem. Simulations show enhancement in deadline satisfaction as well as cost reduction.","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":"115407703","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, packet collision caused by the hidden node problem becomes serious particularly in large-scale multi-hop WSNs. Moreover, focusing on periodic data flows, continuous packet collisions among periodic data flows are caused once periodic packet transmission phases are synchronized. In this paper, we tackle the compounded negative effect of the hidden node problem and the continuous collision problem among periodic data flows. To realize this objective, we propose a new MAC layer mechanism. The proposed method predicts risky durations during which collision can be caused by hidden nodes by taking into account periodic characteristics of data packet generation. In the risky duration, each sensor node stops the transmission of packets in order to avoid collisions. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first paper that considers the compounded effect of hidden nodes and continuous collisions among periodic data flows. Other advantages of the proposed method include that any new control packets are not required and it can be implemented in widelydiffused IEEE 802.11 and IEEE 802.15.4 devices.","PeriodicalId":285899,"journal":{"name":"2019 16th IEEE Annual Consumer Communications & Networking Conference (CCNC)","volume":"7 12 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":"115237144","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}

Furthermore, we study QoE performance with new Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA) schemes in the Base Station (BS) – UE multimedia downlink, and discuss the performance in comparison with conventional Orthogonal Multiple Access (OMA). We mathematically model UE’s QoE gain (also known as utility) by considering UE’s perceived data quality and the corresponding data cost. Then we show that there exists an optimal data consumption option for UE to achieve utility maximization based on different cost coefficients. In addition, the power allocation strategies and their associated constraints are investigated in both OMA and NOMA transmission schemes.

As per International Data Corporation (IDC) [1], number of smart devices is growing faster and approximately 80 billion devices will be connected by 2025. The need for onboarding multiple devices quickly will therefore assume great importance.

As the network deployments are expected to be denser and the mobile user will be offered a multitude of alternative short coverage range options to have her mobile traffic served, her roaming decision will be performance critical. While the current 3GPP standardization considers the use of network performance statistics of nearby WLANs for the UE-driven roaming selection to address the uncertainty of the shared wireless medium, their collection and processing inevitably affects the mobile user performance and inserts an accuracy-performance tradeoff. We introduce a spectrum assessment framework, that is based on commercial hardware and open-source software, to evaluate the conditions on the nearby WLANs and let the UE to infer their performance with minimum overhead relying on Duty Cycle evaluation and the RSSI metrics. Our ready-to-be deployed solution leverages the use of off-the-shelf equipment and commercial devices and enables fast decision procedures for the WLAN selection with low collection and processing overhead. We evaluate our mechanism by conducting testbed experiments. The results reveal performance gains in terms of UE’s achieved throughput when enabling the proposed framework to infer the spectral WLAN conditions and decide for the AP to roam.","PeriodicalId":285899,"journal":{"name":"2019 16th IEEE Annual Consumer Communications & Networking Conference (CCNC)","volume":"10 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":"122275104","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 level-1 model uses flow-based anomaly detection, which is capable of classifying the network traffic as normal or anomalous.

If an anomaly activity is detected then the flow is forwarded to the level-2 model to find the category of the anomaly by deeply examining the contents of the packet. The level-2 model uses Recursive Feature Elimination (RFE) to select significant features and Synthetic Minority Over-Sampling Technique (SMOTE) for oversampling and Edited Nearest Neighbors (ENN) for cleaning the CICIDS2017 and UNSW-15 datasets. Our proposed model precision, recall and F score for level-1 were measured 100% for the CICIDS2017 dataset and 99% for the UNSW-15 dataset, while the level-2 model precision, recall, and F score were measured at 100 % for the CICIDS2017 dataset and 97 % for the UNSW-15 dataset.

Although existing studies about spatial reuse have been discussed so far, interference from other basic service sets (BSSs) and cooperation with each access point (AP) have not been considered fully. To enhance communication fairness, we propose fair Dynamic Sensitivity and Transmission Power Control (fairDSTPC) that adjusts CCAT and transmission power based on AP cooperation. We improve communication environment of BSS which results in the worst throughput by exchanging information, such as throughput and number of sent data frames, between APs. Simulation results showed that our method achieved effectiveness compared with existing method and legacy system.
