In 5G Heterogeneous Networks (HetNet), a new generation which have multiple BSs of different types such as Femto BS and Macro BS, there is the possibility of choosing to receive the data from one BS and transmit them to a different BS, and therefore decoupling the uplink and downlink. Especially, the increasing demand for faster, more reliable, and efficient connectivity has made the optimization of User Equipment (UE) allocation in 5G networks a crucial task. To tackle the challenges posed by heterogeneous 5G networks, this study compares and evaluates the performance of Downlink/Uplink Decoupling (DUDe) and traditional Downlink/Uplink Coupled (DUCo) user allocation approaches. Simulation results show that DUDe UE allocation outperforms DUCo by providing improved network performance and more efficient utilization of network resources in diverse network conditions. These findings have important implications for the design and optimization of 5G networks and provide valuable insights for researchers and practitioners in the field.","PeriodicalId":341881,"journal":{"name":"2023 Fourteenth International Conference on Ubiquitous and Future Networks (ICUFN)","volume":"118 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114974511","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}

These modalities consist of intra and cross-modality relationships at different time intervals which if modeled well, can avail emotionally rich cues for robust and accurate prediction of emotion states. This necessitates models that take into consideration long short-term dependency between the current, previous, and future time steps using multimodal approaches. Moreover, it is important to contextualize the interactive speech in order to accurately infer the emotional state. A combination of recurrent and/or convolutional neural networks with attention mechanisms is often used by researchers. In this paper, we propose a deep learning-based bimodal speech emotion recognition (DLBER) model that uses multi-level fusion to learn intra and cross-modality feature representations. The proposed DLBER model uses the transformer encoder to model the intra-modality features that are combined at the first level fusion in the local feature learning block (LFLB). We also use self-attentive bidirectional LSTM layers to further extract intramodality features before the second level fusion for further progressive learning of the cross-modality features. The resultant feature representation is fed into another self-attentive bidirectional LSTM layer in the global feature learning block (GFLB). The interactive emotional dyadic motion capture (IEMOCAP) dataset was used to evaluate the performance of the proposed DLBER model. The proposed DLBER model achieves 72.93% and 74.05% of F1 score and accuracy respectively.","PeriodicalId":341881,"journal":{"name":"2023 Fourteenth International Conference on Ubiquitous and Future Networks (ICUFN)","volume":"66 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114567320","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}

At the time of measuring the latency at the current time point, recalculating the end-to-end QoS path, or informing the XRM service application, it can be a past value, which can lead to an inaccurate situation. To overcome this situation, 5G network needs to predict latency in advance, recalculate end-to-end QoS paths based on this information, or informs XRM applications to meet more effective QoS requirements.

Furthermore, research on the multipath extension of QUIC (MPQUIC) is also being actively conducted.

In this direction, this paper presents an approach to predict resources on a switch in an SDN-based network. For this purpose, a video streaming scenario is deployed in an SDN network and performance metrics are captured. The resources are predicted using four machine learning algorithms. Specifically, the paper proposes a testbed implementation of a video streaming scenario to evaluate the performance of the proposed approach.
