In this paper, a multi-DSC-assisted dynamic spectrum management framework is presented to maximize the network utility under quality-of-service (QoS) constraints in 5G and beyond cellular vehicular networks. The network utility maximization problem is formulated as mixed-integer nonlinear programming regarding association patterns between vehicles and base stations (BSs) and spectrum partitioning among heterogeneous BSs. For mathe-matical tractability, the joint optimization problem for spectrum partitioning and vehicle- DSC associations is transformed as a biconcave optimization problem. An alternate search algorithm is then designed to determine vehicle association patterns and spec-trum slicing ratios. Our simulation demonstrates that compared with state-of-the-art methods, the proposed scheme achieves a significant performance improvement in network throughput and spectrum utilization.","PeriodicalId":309606,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE Symposium on Computers and Communications (ISCC)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117313830","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}

Software-Defined Networking (SDN) is promising to make the network more agile, pushing the decision process to a controller. However, radio links are unstable while the controller needs to construct an accurate view of the network to schedule the transmissions efficiently. We propose here SDN-TSCH to separate the data and control planes for a scheduled network. We construct a reliable control plane, maintaining a collision-free path to and from the controller. Besides, SDN-TSCH guarantees flow isolation: each flow can reserve dedicated resources so that end-to-end reliability and latency constraints can be respected per flow. Finally, we also dedicate resources for best-effort traffic, to accommodate various applications. Our Cooja simulations highlight the flow isolation characteristics of SDN-TSCH: we provide very high reliability even in presence of best-effort traffic.","PeriodicalId":309606,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE Symposium on Computers and Communications (ISCC)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125869475","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 question is whether quantization and subsequent processing can be optimized with respect to relevant mutual information. Current standards rely on orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFD M) as air interface and require the implementation of an fast Fourier transform (FFT). Inspired by the efficient implementation of low density parity check (LDPC) decoders via lookup-tables optimized by the information bottleneck (IB) method, we suggest to approximate the computation of intermediate quantities inside the FFT with IB-optimized lookup-tables being designed offline. Consequently, the FFT only relies on the mapping quantization indices for which the flow of relevant information is optimized.","PeriodicalId":309606,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE Symposium on Computers and Communications (ISCC)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126123978","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, the management of service level agreements (SLAs) is fundamental. Composite network services (NSs), made up of multiple nested NSs, can be exploited to build slices. Generally, slices may span multiple domains and the different nested NSs may be deployed by different providers, in what is referred to as federated NS. Previous work focused on the architectural design and workflows for the functional deployment of federated services without considering the continuous SLA management. Herein, we cover this gap by presenting a complete workflow, the required interface extensions, and the operation profiling over an experimental testbed to automatically scale nested NSs deployed in a federated domain. Evaluation results show that such scale out/in operations can be performed in tens of seconds (39/31 s, respectively), where the allocation/release of underlying resources account for most of the profiled scaling time (more than 80%).","PeriodicalId":309606,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE Symposium on Computers and Communications (ISCC)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128707031","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}

Therefore, some studies proposed using hybrid architectures and baseband functional splitting to ease such requirements. In the literature, the ideal functional splitting in hybrid RAN architectures has been tackled using integer linear programming. Such approaches guarantee optimality, but they have low scalability, making them infeasible for real deployments. On the other hand, Meta Heuristics can provide practical solutions to large combinatorial problems with a good level of accuracy (not rarely achieving optimality). This paper proposes new modeling of the functional splitting problem in Cloud Fog RANs using the meta-heuristic optimization named Soccer Game Optimization.

The question raised is whether social media data can be used for discovering issues of water quality. In this work we attempt to answer this question by collecting posts from Twitter during the period of one year, which contain keywords about water quality, and applying three well-known techniques for event detection, i.e. Z-score, STA/LTA, and DBSCAN. A detailed presentation of the detected events, both relevant and not relevant, is given to provide more insight and proves that it is indeed feasible to identify water quality events with social media data.

In this work, we introduce a method that uses the available energy consumption models for the current Internet architecture to estimate the energy efficiency of SCION's data plane. By applying this method to the best available power consumption models of the Internet, we show that while providing advanced security and availability guarantees, SCION can reduce global data plane power consumption by around 700 MW. We further investigate the impact of the SCION's quality of service (QoS) extension on data plane's power consumption and conclude that SCION with its QoS extension can reduce the power consumption of the Internet by up to 2.88 GW.
