This paper presents SNOWWEB, a Wireless Sensor Network equipped with environmental sensors designed to capture distributed meteorological measurements in Antarctica and report them in real-time to a base station. To accomplish this we used XBee Pro S2B transceivers utilising the ZigBee standard. Combined with high gain omnidirectional antennae we were able to establish reliable multi-hop links with inter-node distances spanning up to 10 km during testing in Antarctica in January 2013. Over a one week period we experienced exceptional network performance, despite a snowstorm, with all stations reporting as expected.","PeriodicalId":290924,"journal":{"name":"38th Annual IEEE Conference on Local Computer Networks - Workshops","volume":"94 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124223982","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 performance of an ICN is highly dependent on replicating the content across the caches of a multitude of nodes in the network. Given the high data turnover rates of contemporary applications and the finite nature of caching space, efficient caching algorithms play a crucial role in determining which data item can be safely dropped in order to accommodate for more important items. In this paper, we present a value-based cache replacement approach that executes a Least Valuable First (LVF) policy. Our approach employs a utility function that uses delay, popularity and age parameters to determine which item to drop from the cache. We present simulation results comparing our approach to other dominant cache replacement policies under varying conditions such as data popularity, in-network cache ratio and connectivity degree. Results show that our approach outperforms in terms of time-to-hit, hit rate, in-network delay and data publisher load.","PeriodicalId":290924,"journal":{"name":"38th Annual IEEE Conference on Local Computer Networks - Workshops","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125358868","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, a location update message is required to be sent to the home agent for each new connection. This will potentially increase the handoff latency and leads to high load on the global Internet. This paper presents the concepts and the challenges of Mobile IP networks and then proposes the use of OpenFlow approach as an alternate transport mechanism to perform routing and to provide network connectivity for Mobile IP networks. The proposed application determines calculations and reroutes the subsequent packets. OpenFlow aims to optimize routing path and handoff performance by using controller's application and exchanges controllers' information.","PeriodicalId":290924,"journal":{"name":"38th Annual IEEE Conference on Local Computer Networks - Workshops","volume":"131 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121310838","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 this paper, we investigate SLS detection and recognition system. We focus on North-American speed limit signs, including Canadian and U.S. signs. A modified version of Histogram of Oriented Gradients (HOG) is used to detect and recognize SLS through a set of two-level SVM-based classifiers. Moreover, we build our online database called North-American Speed Limit Signs (NASLS) which includes four SLS categories; white, yellow, black and orange signs. We show through an extensive set of experiments that our system achieves an accuracy of more than 94% of SLS recognition.","PeriodicalId":290924,"journal":{"name":"38th Annual IEEE Conference on Local Computer Networks - Workshops","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129518725","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 aim of this paper is to validate and evaluate the performance of eMBMS following the 3GPP standard (release 10) implemented in the context of the OpenAirInterface SDR platforms. The difference between the OpenAirInterface in-lab system validation platform with respect to existing simulation/emulation tools such as OPNET, matlab, NS-2/3 is that firstly it is built with a high level of realism supporting real-time operation (based on RTAI and RT-Preempt); secondly it is part of the integration and validation chain for a real-time RF experimentation. The results show that eMBMS performance in the OpenAirInterface satisfies the requirement of 3GPP standard in terms of BLER. Furthermore, the theoretical user throughput proposed by 3GPP have been validated through experimentation.","PeriodicalId":290924,"journal":{"name":"38th Annual IEEE Conference on Local Computer Networks - Workshops","volume":"119 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130067958","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, resource management and context-awareness become significantly important in maximizing the efficiency of the network and prioritizing the traffic according to its importance. This paper aims to formulate the problems of resource management and context-awareness in PSNs. Therefore, the main challenges and requirements of these problems will be identified. In addition, a condensed survey of some important resource management and context-awareness techniques will be offered.

The idea is to avoid illegal traceability of vehicles during their communications and preserve their privacy and confidential information. Two different approaches are proposed. In the first approach, each vehicle asks the central authority a new communication pseudonym after a time t. While in the second approach, each vehicle generates itself after a time t, a new communication pseudonym. Our objective is to permit at least two vehicles to change their pseudonym in the same time interval. We evaluate in this work, the bandwidth used by considering the vehicles speed in each approach. The proposed protocol is based on equidistant distribution of the road side unit and uses the average of speed permitted on the road to evaluate lifetime t of the communication's pseudonyms and certificates. The exchange of information is based on asymmetric and symmetric cryptography scheme and it uses hash function. Our protocol provides authentication, non-repudiation and privacy.","PeriodicalId":290924,"journal":{"name":"38th Annual IEEE Conference on Local Computer Networks - Workshops","volume":"353 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132306380","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}
