The current NDN design & implementation only details interest and data packets which ensures ubiquitous data dissemination. Currently, there is no support of control messages similar to Internet control messaging protocol of IP networks. The use of content name instead of host addresses, combined with interest-data exchange model, and interest aggregations makes the design of such a protocol a challenging task. In this paper, we present a control protocol for named data networks, namely NNCP, that can relay different network error, information, notification, and service messages. The designed protocol may improve the network performance especially in the Internet of Things environment, and can easily be extended to support different information centric platforms.","PeriodicalId":311896,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Conference on Standards for Communications and Networking (CSCN)","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134227988","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}

WSN as a technique for sensing and acquiring data in IoT applications must work upon providing an efficient routing for proper data transfer. One of the fundamental concerns of the routing in WSNs is the energy consumption and the lifetime of sensors, since most of them rely on a battery and neither cable-powered nor frequent battery replacement or recharging are appealing options. The required routing technique must balance the goals: selecting the most reliable minimum energy path when all nodes have high energy and avoiding the low residual energy nodes while supporting mobility. This paper introduces a theoretical framework for RPL (Routing Protocol for Low power and Lossy Networks) based routing protocols whose aim is to provide energy efficiency while taking into account the mobility of sensor nodes in WSNs consisted of both static and mobile nodes. The simulation results indicate that the proposed routing model's Objective Function (OF) gives better performance in comparison to the default OFs in terms of duty cycle, energy consumption and total control overhead, while having a small degradation in the packet delivery ratio.","PeriodicalId":311896,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Conference on Standards for Communications and Networking (CSCN)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129231708","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}

This phenomenon is leading to a traffic growth over both the control and the data planes of the mobile core network. It is expected that the traffic will increase more and more with the installation of the new generation of mobile networking (5G) as it offers more services that are intended to be connected over the same network, in addition to the legacy ones. Therefore, the 3GPP group has rethought the architecture of the New Generation Core (NGC) by defining its components as Virtualized Network Functions (VNF). However, scalability techniques should be envisioned in order to answer the needs, in term of resource provisioning, without degrading the Quality Of Service (QoS) already offered by hardware based core networks. Neural networks, and in particular deep learning, having shown their effectiveness in predicting time series, could be good candidates for predicting traffic evolution. In this paper, we propose a novel solution to generalize neural networks while accelerating the learning process by using $K$-means clustering, and a Monte-Carlo method. We benchmarked multiple types of deep neural networks using real operator's data in order to compare their efficiency in forecasting the upcoming network load for dynamic and proactive resources' provisioning. The proposed solution allows obtaining very good predictions of the traffic evolution while reducing by 50% the time needed for the learning phase.","PeriodicalId":311896,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Conference on Standards for Communications and Networking (CSCN)","volume":"187 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115182452","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}

We use the reception power of the packets received by the Road Side Units (RSUs) and sent by the vehicles on the roads. In fact, the reception power is strongly influenced by the distance between a vehicle and a RSU. To predict the position of vehicles in this context, we adopt the machine-learning methodology. As a pre-requisite, the vehicles know their positions and the vehicles send their positions in the packets. The positioning system can thus perform a training sequence and build a model. The system is then able to handle a prediction request. In this request, a vehicle without external positioning will request its position from the neighboring RSUs. The RSUs which receive this request message from the vehicle will know the power at which the message was received and will study the positioning request using the training set. In this study, we use and compare three widely recognized techniques: K Nearest Neighbors (KNN), Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Random Forest. We study these techniques in various configurations and discuss their respective advantages and drawbacks. Our results show that these three techniques provide very good results in terms of position predictions when the error on the transmission power is small.","PeriodicalId":311896,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Conference on Standards for Communications and Networking (CSCN)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114386378","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}

Ultra-Wide Band (UWB) technology is gaining the attention of researchers as a possible candidate for implant communication due to its high data rate and low power consumption capabilities. Characterization of a propagation channel often involves a measurement campaign (either virtual or physical) and selecting a set of candidate test points (i.e. sample measurement points) through which numerical values of the desired signal at the receiver are collected. Statistical analysis of those data will lead to a channel model representing the communication link. Focusing on UWB implant channel characterization, this paper aims to highlight the potential impact of the measurement points location distribution on the extracted parameters of the channel model. This is achieved through emulating a custom-design multi-layer liquid phantom measurement system and performing a sequence of matching simulations with different sample point distributions. The results are meant to serve as a guideline for future UWB implant measurement campaigns.","PeriodicalId":311896,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Conference on Standards for Communications and Networking (CSCN)","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125767310","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}

With edge nodes geographically distributed, efficiency is directly linked to the placement and capacity planning of such nodes. To develop an efficient strategy to deploy Edge Computing infrastructure for 5G services, the first step is to define thorough site selection criteria.

The provisioning of on-demand security services according to the SECurity-as-a-Service model is gaining notable attention. Nevertheless, the hosting of security functions in remote data-centers will inevitably introduce long routing detours, thus high latency and traffic overhead. To cope with this, edge computing will prove to be useful to process data locally. But the reduced capabilities of edge nodes can negatively impact the overall performance of SECaaS solutions.
