The signaling traffic overhead is formulated, and how the introduction of the BYON could reduce the overhead is discussed. It is shown that a modified mobile network based on the BYON, in which the functions of P-CSCF and S/I-CSCF for IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) are migrated onto the location of PGW in Evolved Packet Core (EPC), could reduce the signaling traffic overhead by around 30 %.

To exploit such environment, data gathering and dissemination based on opportunistic contact times among humans is a fundamental requirement. To tackle the lack of contemporaneous end-to-end connectivity in Delay-tolerant Networks (DTNs), most current algorithms assess the probability of the contact times to gradually convey a message towards its destination. These contact-based approaches do not perform well when historical locations of nodes have mixture distribution. In this paper, we formulate routing problems in spatial and spatiotemporal domains as an online unsupervised learning problem given location data. The key insight is that nodes frequently appearing nearer the message destinations are regarded as possessing higher delivery probability even if they have low contact times. We show how to solve the formulated problems with two basic algorithms, Location-Mean and Location-Cluster, by estimating the means of historical locations to calculate delivery probability of nodes. To our best knowledge, this is the first work to tackle DTN routing problem using online unsupervised learning on geographical locations. In the context of human mobility, simulation results of the Location-Mean algorithm show that the online unsupervised learning approach given node locations achieves better routing performances in term of delivery ratio, latency, transmission cost, and computation efficiency compared to the contact-based approach.","PeriodicalId":287724,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE 11th Consumer Communications and Networking Conference (CCNC)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121775155","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 order to improve the end-to-end goodput in DTNs, segment size at the convergence layer and bundle size at the bundle layer are jointly optimized in this paper. Different from existing work that only performs experimentations to find the optimal packet size in single-hop DTNs, our work focuses on the theoretic analysis and formulates the relationship between packet size at two layers (i.e., the convergence layer and the bundle layer) and the performance metrics (i.e., delay, goodput) of single-hop and multi-hop DTNs. The analysis not only confirms the existence of the optimal packet size, but also quantitatively shows that the optimal packet size is determined by the number of hops, wireless channel conditions in DTNs. Furthermore, a novel Packet Size Optimization Algorithm (PASO) is proposed, in which segment size and bundle size are jointly adjusted to maximize the goodput in multi-hop DTNs. Compared with schemes where joint packet size optimization is not considered, PASO can achieve average 15% more goodput in typical DTN environments where channel conditions are usually assumed to be poor.","PeriodicalId":287724,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE 11th Consumer Communications and Networking Conference (CCNC)","volume":"61 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123781892","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}

To provide the channel access in the contention part of the protocol, quasi omni (QO) antenna patterns are defined which span over the particular spatial directions and cover a limited area around access points. In this paper, we propose an algorithm to determine the beamwidth of each QO level. The proposed algorithm takes into account the spatial distribution of nodes to allocate the beamwidth of each QO level in an adaptive fashion in order to maximizes the channel utilization and satisfy the required link budget criterion. Since the proposed algorithm minimizes the collisions, it also minimizes the average time required to transmit total packets in a QO level. Proposed algorithm improves the average channel utilization up to 20-30% and reduces the time required to transmit total packets up to 40-50% for the given network parameters.","PeriodicalId":287724,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE 11th Consumer Communications and Networking Conference (CCNC)","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126129313","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}

Moreover, the smartphone rapidly consumes battery due to the required constant communication. We propose, therefore, to implement Wi-Fi Direct (WD) in addition to Bluetooth (BT) to increase the search coverage area. Furthermore, we introduce an information-sharing cluster in order to collect SOS messages efficiently while preserving the smartphones' battery life. By implementing the proposed methods on actual smartphones for a performance evaluation, we showed that controlling the use of both WD and BT increases the probability of locating immobilized victims. Also, enabling an information-sharing cluster by immobilized victims' smartphones can send SOS messages to a mobile victim smartphone all at once, which can extend the lifetime of the smartphone's battery as compared with the previous method.","PeriodicalId":287724,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE 11th Consumer Communications and Networking Conference (CCNC)","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129286948","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}

Due to the huge demand of smart phones, the issue of providing more processing capability to this resource constraint device is getting more concern now-a-days. In this paper, a method level offloading mechanism has been proposed where no prior image of the mobile device is needed to be transferred to the cloud. The application is partitioned at different points where the migration of the execution thread is performed from mobile device to nearby resourceful cloud to get the best execution performance in optimal energy cost. The mobile can complete the execution after the partitioned thread returns back from the cloud to the device. This mechanism increases scalability as well as performance in the form of faster execution speed of the mobile devices. Moreover, we consider the mobility of the mobile device and propose a solution to find the best cloud instance on the move. To find out which cloud to offload, the communication latency, capacity, and current load at individual clouds are considered to find out the best cloud to offload to ensure better service for the mobile device. The proposed solution has been simulated and compared against CloneCloud in two different simulation scenarios where we show that our method performs superior to CloneCloud.","PeriodicalId":287724,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE 11th Consumer Communications and Networking Conference (CCNC)","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132339036","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, due to the fact that battery capacity is not evolving as fast as the power requirement, the battery lifetime of modern user equipment is stagnating or even decreasing from one device generation to another. In parallel, a major challenge for the design of next generation wireless systems such as LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) is that the required high portion of spectrum is not available in a consecutive portion. For this reason, a procedure called interband non-continuous Carrier Aggregation (CA) will be introduced in LTE-A which allows for the combination of multiple spectrum pieces from different frequency bands. This procedure however requires the parallel operation of multiple power amplifiers that are characterized by a high energy demand. In this paper, we quantify the impact of CA on the power consumption of LTE-A enabled communication by means of a Markovian based power consumption model that incorporates system parameters as well as context parameters. The results show that the suitability of CA does from a battery lifetime perspective strongly depend upon the actual device characteristics as well as the resource availability is the various frequency bands. Furthermore, the application of the sophisticated Kinetic Battery Model (KiBaM) shows that the charge recovery effect during idle periods does significantly affect the battery lifetime.","PeriodicalId":287724,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE 11th Consumer Communications and Networking Conference (CCNC)","volume":"181 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121193586","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}
