In this paper, the analytical model is proposed to calculate the system outage probability as a closed form expression under the Rayleigh fading channel for the NOMA downlink system. We utilize the model to obtain the optimum power allocation that minimizes the system outage probability as a closed form expression. The accuracy of the proposed analytical model and optimum power allocation is validated by the Monte Carlo simulations. The numerical results show that the outage probability depends on the power allocation and the outage probability of OMA with the fractional power allocation is lower than NOMA with the optimum power allocation. The results indicate that the trade-off between the outage and spectral efficiency in NOMA should be carefully controlled to meet higher throughput and lower latency objectives of 5G.","PeriodicalId":306134,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 40th Sarnoff Symposium","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134396029","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}

LLN has a wide variety of applications including industrial monitoring, connected home, health care, urban sensor networks and environmental monitoring. LLN uses Routing Protocol for Low-power and lossy networks (RPL) protocol. The RPL maintains directed acyclic graphs for routing packets. By exploiting some features, a Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attack can be conducted easily. DDoS attacks are very popular and well studied in the context of the Internet, but not in the context of LLNs. In this paper, we propose a powerful DDoS attack framework in LLNs. We formulate the attack as an optimization problem for selecting an optimal set of attackers and their targeted neighbors constrained by a limited link bandwidth. We propose an optimal solution by transforming the optimization problem into a max-flow problem. We provide simulations to support our model.","PeriodicalId":306134,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 40th Sarnoff Symposium","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127077720","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 the literature, SFC is typically regarded as a linear topology that represents the sequence of the VNFs that a data stream is navigated through. Our recent study, however, reveals a group of real-life use cases for which a linear topology is in-sufficient to describe the complexity of the SFC: the data stream can branch out into multiple streams due to multiple reasons (e.g., load-balance the web/non-web traffic). In this paper, we study representative use cases with presence of branching, categorize traffic branching into three major categories, and introduce policies to specify the service requirement that involves traffic branching. In addition, we define the resulting problem and discuss directions for further exploration.","PeriodicalId":306134,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 40th Sarnoff Symposium","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114629588","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, the heterogeneity of these paths can significantly hamper MPTCP’s performance. In this paper, we propose to send acknowledgments (ACKs) along the lowest-latency path. This can help improve the performance of MPTCP when subflow throughput is constrained by packet loss by reacting to loss events faster. An active probing module is also developed to dynamically select the lowest-latency path against the potential change of path condition. Experiments demonstrate that overall throughput improvement generally ranges from 10% to 50%.","PeriodicalId":306134,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 40th Sarnoff Symposium","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124401449","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}

ID-FSOC has been recently proposed to establish wireless high-speed (i.e., ≥1 Gbps) network access using FSO from stations that have no line-of-sight (LOS) with the access point. ID-FSOC employs a diffuse reflector (DR) to uniformly reflect diffused light from an incident laser to all directions, except towards the DR. To establish a link, ID-FSOC requires LOS between the transmitter and the DR and between DR and the receiver. In this way, ID-FSOC relaxes the location of stations as long as they keep LOS to the DR. We analyze the performance and scalability of proposed schemes. We also consider the impact of the zoom-in time of a receiver in our evaluations. Our results show that our proposed MAC schemes achieve high channel utilization and higher throughput than carrier-sense multiple access schemes.","PeriodicalId":306134,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 40th Sarnoff Symposium","volume":"121 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130544334","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 navigate a mass transit system independently and safely, one needs to be able to gather information about their surroundings. We propose a Conscious GPS system to assist a user with visual impairment to navigate the public transit system. The system utilizes computer vision to autonomously record the users surroundings by taking various pictures in sequence and leveraging image processing techniques and machine learning to identify and extract information about key objects around the user. Our target object is the circular bus sign on an NYC MTA bus stop. We use Haar Cascade computer vision techniques to detect and locate the sign in an image through feature-based image classification. The proposed system experiences no misclassification after training the Haar Cascade classifier with a minimum hit rate of 0.99 and a maximum false alarm rate of 0.20 when navigating the daily city landscape and can accurately detect a bus stop sign.","PeriodicalId":306134,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 40th Sarnoff Symposium","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125096876","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}
