Certain properties of the model graphs are utilized to quantify different response metrics which are well-kown from the pragmatic view of network security officers. Using these metrics, it is possible to (1) quantify practically relevant properties of a response measure after its application, and (2) estimate these properties for all available response measures prior to their application. The latter case is the basis for the selection of an appropriate reaction to a given attack. Our graph-based model is similar to those used in software reliability analysis and was designed for a scalable granularity in representing properties of the network and its components to be protected. Different examples show the applicability of the model and the resulting metric values.","PeriodicalId":333233,"journal":{"name":"32nd IEEE Conference on Local Computer Networks (LCN 2007)","volume":"74 2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115498898","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 consider network coverage from an our recently proposed information coverage model [1] other than the conventional sensing disk model. The lifetime maximization problem is modeled as a nonlinear programming problem and is shown NP-Complete. We then propose a family of greedy algorithms to allocate sensors different roles such that different sensors may consume different amount of energies in different intervals to prolong network lifetime while still guaranteeing application requirements. Simulation results suggest that the algorithm with the best balancing between communication energy consumption and area coverage requirement has the highest network lifetime.","PeriodicalId":333233,"journal":{"name":"32nd IEEE Conference on Local Computer Networks (LCN 2007)","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128492452","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}

Very few of those works address the possibilities for an on-the-fly (immediate) distributed scheduling method.

However, as the demand for a particular product goes up, it is possible to exceed the processing limit of the content provider. The use of multicast distribution technology can lower the processing needs of the content provider and the bandwidth needs of the network operator. However, it requires the introduction of security features (to prevent theft by non-purchasers) and distributed accounting features (to collect revenue from the multiple purchasers). We identify the parties that participate in a multicast session, either before the session or during it. We then discuss the communications paths and security requirements that exist among and within these parties, for the support of this secure, accountable multicasting. We present an enhanced multicasting architecture, which enables the necessary security and accounting features, while keeping the additional load on the routers at a minimum. We then extend the architecture to facilitate deployment of multicast in parts of the network where no \"native\" multicast support is available.","PeriodicalId":333233,"journal":{"name":"32nd IEEE Conference on Local Computer Networks (LCN 2007)","volume":"213 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123067106","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, IMS does not handle non-3G elements such as wireless local area networks (WLANs). In order to provide interconnection at the service layer between 3G and WLANs, interworking between IMS and WLAN is necessary. Extending IMS beyond 3G to WLANs is a crucial step towards the evolution of a seamless universal next generation wireless network, commonly known as 4G. In this paper, a novel architecture for service layer interworking between WLAN and 3G is presented. The architecture takes into consideration the interaction of WLAN Application SIP servers with the IMS call session control functions (CSCFs) and the extensibility of application servers (ASs) beyond the core IMS network. A WLAN AS is introduced into the IMS network and an SIP server into the WLAN. These act as interworking arbitrators and communicate with each other to provide service and session continuity. The main advantage of this architecture is its feasibility within the standard. It is also non-intrusive to the IMS core or the WLAN.","PeriodicalId":333233,"journal":{"name":"32nd IEEE Conference on Local Computer Networks (LCN 2007)","volume":"PP 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126421771","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, in this paper, spatial diversity is exploited for locating stationary and mobile objects in the indoor environment. First, space diversity technique is introduced for small scale motion and temporal variation compensation of received signal strength and it is demonstrated analytically that it enhances location accuracy. Small scale motion refers to movements of the transmitter and/or the receiver of the order of sub-wavelengths while temporal effects refer to environmental variations with time. A novel metric is introduced for selection combining in order to improve location accuracy through the addition of spatial diversity upon two available location determination schemes. The results are evaluated experimentally against single antenna system for reception by using low cost wireless RF devices such as motes. Alternatively, the impact of the number of location determination devices in a probabilistic WLAN network based on pre-profiling of signal strength is analyzed and it is demonstrated analytically that location accuracy improves with the number of receivers used. Spatial diversity in terms of the antenna spacing of 2lambda is evaluated and shown to provide a reduction in location determination error between 30 and 40% when compared to a single antenna system.","PeriodicalId":333233,"journal":{"name":"32nd IEEE Conference on Local Computer Networks (LCN 2007)","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125107308","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}
