Efficient data communication within the network is a necessity as sensor nodes are usually energy constrained. The proposed framework utilizes the various entities forming the network for a different utility compared to their usual role in sensor networks. Use of flying sensor nodes is usually considered for conventional purpose of sensing and monitoring. Flying sensing nodes are usually utilized collectively in the form of an aerial sensor network, they are not expected to function as a data collection entity, as proposed in this framework. Similarly, cluster heads (CHs) are usually expected to transfer the aggregated data to an adjoining CH or to the base station (BS) directly. In the proposed framework the CH transfers data directly to the flying sensor node, averting the need for energy intensive multi-hop inter-cluster communication to relay information to the BS. The flying sensor node is referred as sensor fly. The limitations of a conventional sensor network deployed on ground surface, in respect to the near ground path loss, and communication hindrance due to undulating terrain are avoided in this framework. The proposed framework is therefore highly suitable for sensor network deployment in inhabitable harsh terrain. Fuzzy logic based inference of the clusters (referred as cluster-hops) that could be covered by the sensor fly, governed by the input parameters has been presented.","PeriodicalId":333503,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE International Conference on Advanced Networks and Telecommuncations Systems (ANTS)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129245681","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 this paper, we propose a novel framework and scheduling algorithm that uses heterogeneous network architecture (macro eNodeB and mini base stations) to reduce the collision rate and access delay of dense IoT devices by randomizing their access without affecting the Quality of Service (QoS) offered to UEs. Furthermore, the proposed idea avoids the use of extra spectrum or barring mechanisms for IoT devices. Simulation results for a heterogeneous network within a single macro cell with 1 macro eNodeB and 4 mini base stations (mini cells) indicate that the proposed framework and scheduling reduces the collision rate for IoT devices by 80% and access delay by more than 50% during the LTE Random Access Channel (RACH) procedure, as well as improves the QoS to UEs as compared to the Access Barring scheme.","PeriodicalId":333503,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE International Conference on Advanced Networks and Telecommuncations Systems (ANTS)","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116770258","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 a secondary relay network with 2 K communicating nodes without direct link between any two nodes, and hence, nodes use a common relay for communicating with each other. Using the proposed scheme secondary user opportunistically accesses the primary users' resources (i.e. frequency band) without causing any interference to the primary user. The rate of the primary user is maximized by using the well known water-filling algorithm for optimal power allocation on channel's singular modes. The unused singular modes can then be utilized by secondary users. The secondary users can align their transmission in these unused singular modes which results in spectrally efficient communication. We assume that the number of antennas available are not sufficient to perform transmit and receive zero-forcing (ZF) at the secondary transmitter, receiver and the relay node. We propose a closed form solution for pre-coding and post-coding matrices at the secondary nodes. The proposed solution nullifies the interference on the primary user caused due to the transmission from secondary transmitter and secondary networks' relay node whilst achieving a non-zero transmission rate. Simulation result shows the achievability of significant sum rate for the secondary network.","PeriodicalId":333503,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE International Conference on Advanced Networks and Telecommuncations Systems (ANTS)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127144338","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 this scheme the objective of the network operator determines the grooming policy. Since traffic grooming problem in WDM mesh networks is NP-Complete, we propose a new polynomial-time static traffic grooming policy namely RCG (Reducing Congestion) for heterogeneous WDM mesh networks. RCG is designed for the network operator to reduce congestion on the logical topology. In addition to reducing congestion, RCG also tries to reduce the use of wavelength-links, number of lightpaths and the number of traffic hops on the logical topology to the extent possible. To the best of our knowledge, no other recently proposed grooming policy has addressed the issue of reducing congestion, lightpaths, wavelength-links and traffic hops together in polynomial time for heterogeneous WDM networks. Performance comparisons with some earlier well-known grooming policies reveal that the proposed policy is much better for throughput maximization.","PeriodicalId":333503,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE International Conference on Advanced Networks and Telecommuncations Systems (ANTS)","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133393029","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 Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing (OFDM) technologies, the spectral resources for an end-to-end optical path can be allocated based on the modulation format and the optical reach in EON. The routing and spectrum allocation (RSA) algorithm in EON allocates enough sub-carriers along the spectrum path (SP) to satisfy the connection request. Due to the spectrum-continuity and sub-carrier consecutiveness constraints, an RSA algorithm may not have sufficient contiguous sub-carriers available along a single SP. Instead of using a single SP, in this paper, we propose a multipath RSA algorithm in EON called Modulation-aware Multipath Routing and Spectrum Allocation (MMRSA) algorithm in which the connection demands are satisfied using a minimum number of paths with distance adaptive modulation techniques. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed MMRSA algorithm results in a lower blocking probability as compared to other existing multipath and single path RSA algorithms. Our study also shows that a combined usage of multipath routing and flexible distance-adaptive modulation techniques can reduce the blocking probability while consuming the number of sub-carriers similar to that of a single path routing algorithms.","PeriodicalId":333503,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE International Conference on Advanced Networks and Telecommuncations Systems (ANTS)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128876407","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}
