We model the network where the node locations follow a poisson point process and derive the coverage probability and channel capacity performance based on stochastic geometry. From our analysis, we show how the performance of wireless multi-connectivity Ad Hoc networks can be enhanced by adjusting the number of connections, the number of connected nodes and the density of nodes. Moreover, the simulation results verify the numeric analysis and show the upper bound and lower bound of channel capacity with special cases. It also unveils that rather than implementing multi-connectivity for all nodes, the network operators should consider such as coverage probability and end-to-end delay network performance which can benefit from the optimal scheme the most.","PeriodicalId":299827,"journal":{"name":"2021 24th International Symposium on Wireless Personal Multimedia Communications (WPMC)","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114278120","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, computation offloading, which has been a hot topic for MEC networks, is still facing the challenges due to the diversified task characteristics of the new mobile applications and the multidimensional resource conditions of the MEC networks. In this paper, we take the time-dependent logic characteristics of the tasks into consideration and propose a more flexible computation offloading and task scheduling strategy based on the multi-connectivity technology to further minimize the MEC network cost. We model our problem as a multi-objective optimization problem and propose a genetic algorithm-based flexible computation offloading and task scheduling algorithm (GA-FCOTS) to search for the optimal solution iteratively. Simulation results verify the convergence of the proposed algorithm, and show that the proposed algorithm can balance multiple performances and reduce the network cost effectively compared with the other baseline schemes.","PeriodicalId":299827,"journal":{"name":"2021 24th International Symposium on Wireless Personal Multimedia Communications (WPMC)","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114548009","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 the UVLC using image sensors (IS) to establish a more stable communication link easily. Furthermore, focusing on the change of attenuation rate in the visible light band due to the effect of turbidity, chlorophyll concentration, in the underwater transmission channel, we propose an IS-based UVLC using RGBLEDs as the transmitting light, and theoretically evaluate the effect of turbidity in the sea. Specifically, when the chlorophyll concentration is low and high, the lowest attenuation wavelengths are of blue and red respectively. In this paper, we consider image sensor-based UVLC using RGB-LEDs and evaluate how water turbidity affects the transmission light. Also, we evaluate theoretically the effect of turbidity in the sea on the optical RGB signal using a general full-color camera taking into account underwater channel, general convex lens characteristics, and bayer color filter and analog to digital converters (DAC) at CMOS image sensor","PeriodicalId":299827,"journal":{"name":"2021 24th International Symposium on Wireless Personal Multimedia Communications (WPMC)","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128217396","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}

Each robot has its own database on this network, and the purpose is to synchronize the entire network when a part of the data is updated from time to time. While mmW communication is capable of high-speed and large-capacity data communication, the communication range is short and the communication time is extremely limited when the robots are moving. In order to make the best use of communication time and transfer data, it is appropriate to decide in advance which data to receive or transmit. Therefore, by using medium-speed communication, which has a relatively large communication range, and exchanging meta information of each data before the robots approach each other, it is decided which data should be handled. This paper models the difference and update check of data managed in segments for data synchronization as the Multi Armed Bandit (MAB) problem, which is a bandit problem and propose a Tug-of-War (TOW) dynamics-based data query scheme, which is a MAB algorithm. In order to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method, some simulations are performed on the data hit rate, which means the detection rate of update data with a limited number of queries in the situation where the update data occurs randomly. The results show that when the data consists of 10 segments and there is a large bias in the update frequency of each data, the data query method using TOW achieves detection of updated data up to about 40% higher than the random query method.","PeriodicalId":299827,"journal":{"name":"2021 24th International Symposium on Wireless Personal Multimedia Communications (WPMC)","volume":"26 9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116290489","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 model, a hemispherical model is used to describe the distribution of terminal scatterers. Since the elevation and azimuth angles of the scatterers in the hemispherical model are combined, the effective scatterer distribution is represented by the von Mises Fisher (VMF) function. The statistical properties such as the local Space-Time Correlation Function (S-TCF), Doppler Power Spectral Density (DPSD), Level Crossing Rate (LCR), and Average Fading Duration (AFD) of the channel model are deduced, and the influencing factors of the channel properties are studied and analyzed. The results show that the UAV’s moving direction, antenna direction, and initial angle all affect the statistical properties of the model. The simulation results verify the accuracy of the model, and the second-order statistical properties confirm the effectiveness of the model.

These services include voice, data and video delivery. During an emergency, timely access to video streaming can increase situational awareness and enhance life-saving operations. Therefore, to improve the capabilities of PMR networks and benefit from the advantages of mutualization, standard cellular technologies based on 4G and 5G were adopted for MCC. In particular, the evolved Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service (eMBMS) is suitable for the transmission of group communication services. There are two broadcast transmission modes proposed in eMBMS: Multicast Broadcast Single Frequency Network (MBSFN) and Single-Cell Point-to-Multipoint (SC-PTM). In this paper, we compare MBSFN, SC-PTM and Unicast (UC) in Mission Critical (MC) scenarios from a resource use perspective. More precisely, we calculate the system spectral efficiency in each mode and estimate the number of users per square kilometer demanding the same MC service from which MBSFN and SC-PTM become more efficient than UC. Results show that SC-PTM is the best solution for locally restricted and small-scale emergencies while MBSFN is more suitable for emergencies during massive events or wide-area scenarios.","PeriodicalId":299827,"journal":{"name":"2021 24th International Symposium on Wireless Personal Multimedia Communications (WPMC)","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129926647","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}
