We then present the notions of normalized ensemble-average prevalence (NEAP) and prevalence delay profile (PDP) to characterize the relative impact and time difference of all the epidemic spreading paths, which are analogous to the classical description methods of path loss and power delay profile in communications. The proposed framework provides an intuitive, coherent, and efficient approach for characterization of the disease outbreaks by applying the well-established communication theories as the analytical lens.","PeriodicalId":346249,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE International Conference on Sensing, Communication and Networking (SECON Workshops)","volume":"119 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116170170","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}

Recently, the idea of giving to those smart devices the capability to organize themselves according to a social structure, gave birth to the so-called paradigm of the Social Internet of Things. The expected benefits of SIoT range from the enhanced effectiveness, scalability and speed of the navigability of the network of interconnected objects, to the provision of a level of trustworthiness that can be established by averaging the social relationships among things that are ``friends''. Bearing in mind the beneficial effects of social components in IoT, we consider a social structure in a vehicular context i.e., Social Internet of Vehicles (SIoV). In SIoV, smart vehicles build social relationships with other social objects they might come into contact, with the intent of creating an overlay social network to be exploited for information search and dissemination for vehicular applications. In this paper, we aim to investigate the social behavior of vehicles in SIoV and how it is affected by mobility patterns. Specifically, through the analysis of simulated traffic traces, we distinguish friendly and acquaintance vehicles based on the encounter time and connection maintenance.","PeriodicalId":346249,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE International Conference on Sensing, Communication and Networking (SECON Workshops)","volume":"51 2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125204179","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, UAV mobility can threaten the ability to maintain robust transmissions in practical deployments. On one hand, advanced software methodologies and extensive experiments are required to ensure safe and autonomous flights. On the other hand, to unlock additional capacity in drone communications, additional techniques must be leveraged such as directionality via MIMO-based beamforming, requiring accurate channel information to be fed back in- flight. Software defined radio (SDR) platforms play a major role in filling these gaps in multiple frequency bands, customizable design, and performance characterization. In this work, we present the hardware setup as well as software architecture of our proposed testbed leveraged for two different applications: autonomous mobility and beamforming. In the autonomous mobility case, we build a robust UAV-control framework on a customizable drone platform using MAVLink. Our experiments have demonstrated the feasibility of intelligent automated flight patterns. In the beamforming case, we implement a beamforming scheme on a drone-based SDR platform and evaluate its performance in various contexts. Our evaluations reveal that the drone-based beamforming can improve throughput significantly over conventional schemes.","PeriodicalId":346249,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE International Conference on Sensing, Communication and Networking (SECON Workshops)","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134376748","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}
