It is known that NOMA could be a promising candidate as a wireless access scheme for future 5G radio access technology. To enhance the spectrum efficiency, NOMA adopts a successive interference cancellation (SIC) receiver as the baseline receiver scheme for robust multiple access. With the goal of maximum total throughput for all users and make full use of bandwidth, an effective power allocation method should be utilized, in the conventional algorithm, it is a good way to get a satisfied performance such as average power allocation, water-filling method. We propose a method based on particle swarm optimization with genetic algorithm, which makes the power allocation by taking the advantage of channel state information (CSI) for each sub-channel; and can obtain a better performance comparing with the conventional method.","PeriodicalId":306693,"journal":{"name":"2017 International Conference on Intelligent Environments (IE)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124333552","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 this algorithm in various and complex topologies has not been well evaluated. In this study, we develop a simulator that generates various complex polygonal topologies based on the Voronoi diagrams and assigns the colors on the entire topology using only four colors based on the proposed algorithm, and tests the cases of color collision between adjacent cells. In order to evaluate the performance of the algorithm, experiments are conducted to assign colors in a topology composed of hexagonal cells of equal size, and it is confirmed that three colors are efficient for exclusive coloring in the neighborhood. In the complex polygonal cell topology, we have confirmed that the developed simulator is working properly. We also confirm that the difference in performance according to the color allocation order. For the future studies, we will study some efficient methods for decreasing color collisions and fast resolving of collision.","PeriodicalId":306693,"journal":{"name":"2017 International Conference on Intelligent Environments (IE)","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122244682","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 account is a virtual identity of the user. In order to trace individual's online behavior at any time and any places, linking virtual identities belonging to the same natural person across different online service domains is very important. Existing methods usually tackle this problem by estimating the profile content similarity between identities under two different online services. However, the profile contents in various online services are unreliable or misaligned, and the proposed methods are always limited to services in a specific domain. In this paper, we propose VISD (Virtual Identity linkage cross Service Domain), a novel probability-based model, to link virtual identities across online services in various service domains. It derives several significant attributes from users' online behaviors, such as IP address usage, various fingerprints of terminals, and leverages a supervised classification method to discover the relationship between two identities. By using real-world network traffic collected from a large province of southern China, we evaluate the VISD model and the linkage precision achieves 88.31%. The result demonstrates the effectiveness of our proposed model, which is helpful for social recommendations, information security and privacy protection.","PeriodicalId":306693,"journal":{"name":"2017 International Conference on Intelligent Environments (IE)","volume":"128 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123114700","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, deploying a WSN in a physical environment faces several critical challenges such as high energy consumption, and data loss.In this work, we have proposed a reliable and efficient environmental monitoring system in ponds using wireless sensor network and cellular communication technologies. We have designed a hardware and software ecosystem that can limit the data loss yet save the energy consumption of nodes. A lightweight protocol acknowledges data transmission among the nodes. Data are transmitted to the cloud using a cellular protocol to reduce power consumption. Information in the cloud is mining so that realtime warning notifications can be sent to users. If the values are reaching the threshold, the server will send an alarm signal to the pond’s owner phone, enable him to take corrective actions in a timely manner. Besides, the client application system also provides the feature to help the user to manage the trend of a physical environment such as shrimp ponds by viewing charts of the collected data by hours, days, months. We have deployed our system using IEEE 802.15.4 Standard, ZigBEE, KIT CC2530 of Texas Instrument, and tested our system with temperature and pH level sensors.
