It allows sharing of geographically unused spectrum allocated to the Television Broadcast Service, without causing harmful interference to the licensed users. An open issue in cognitive 802.22 networks is represented by the resource distribution among WRANs. The contribution of this paper is a resource sharing algorithm which assigns resources to overlapped WRANs in such a way to avoid harmful interference among them. Specifically, we propose a collision free resource sharing method which, working in a multichannel environment, aims to assign band to the coexisting WRANs, satisfying their spectrum demand and determining a fair spectrum scheduling. The novel method adapts to the continuous changes of the spectrum availability due to necessity of vacating a channel in case of the incumbent primary users or otherwise due to the addition of unused band. Moreover, the introduced allocation scheme takes into account the issue of spatial diversity, i.e. the case where some channels do not spatially cover all the WRANs. The effectiveness of the proposed multichannel resource sharing scheme is proved through simulations, and the results, compared with other methods already known in literature, show that the algorithm makes a resource assignment which satisfies the requests and improve the use of the available channels, increasing the spectral efficiency.","PeriodicalId":350979,"journal":{"name":"2011 The 10th IFIP Annual Mediterranean Ad Hoc Networking Workshop","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115404555","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}

A domain specific MAC language and corresponding MAC-meta compiler toolchain is developed to realize highly dynamic and reconfigurable MAC solutions using the MAC components. The prototype implementation on WARP [2] SDR boards indicates that our approach eases the MAC development without compromising on the performance characteristics as compared to the monolithic way of implementing MAC protocols.","PeriodicalId":350979,"journal":{"name":"2011 The 10th IFIP Annual Mediterranean Ad Hoc Networking Workshop","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115942076","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 demonstrate how to adequately parameterize and evaluate such a TIS. We find feasible values for the input parameters for the creation of self-generated maps to ensure solid operation of the function. We further contribute to the community and other projects using similar TIS deployments by introducing applicable metrics for TIS evaluation in general and show our findings for the simTD research project.","PeriodicalId":350979,"journal":{"name":"2011 The 10th IFIP Annual Mediterranean Ad Hoc Networking Workshop","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114062786","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}

Leveraging the wealth of aggregated information in these services promises an immense benefit by allowing suggestions for presumably appreciated, yet previously unseen restaurants, sights, and further types of locations. Privacy preserving recommenders based on homomorphic encryption have been proposed, which have a systematic draw-back: while recommender systems often store their information as real values, all homomorphic encryption schemes used today process only data from other algebraic structures, e.g., the ring of integers modulo some integer n. Therefore, we present a novel distributed recommender and a homomorphic encryption scheme, which works directly on real numbers and which possesses some remarkable properties: it is conceptually simple, efficient, and provably secure.","PeriodicalId":350979,"journal":{"name":"2011 The 10th IFIP Annual Mediterranean Ad Hoc Networking Workshop","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115829980","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 explore the performance of the DFA protocol under Poisson-distributed population of tags when different strategies are adopted in setting the frame length and estimating the traffic backlog. We further analytically characterize the best strategy in the two cases where the frame is entirely explored or a new frame can be restarted at any slot.","PeriodicalId":350979,"journal":{"name":"2011 The 10th IFIP Annual Mediterranean Ad Hoc Networking Workshop","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129693379","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}

The protocol supports large networks, requires few resources from devices and lowers the control message overhead associated with discovering new routes. It works by simulating the paradigm of heat trails in a physical environment through the use of bloom filters. In our protocol each node emits a certain quantity of heat and as the node moves a heat trail is formed. After a node leaves a location the heat from surrounding nodes slowly dissipates. This heat information is then used to guide routing queries from the source to the destination.","PeriodicalId":350979,"journal":{"name":"2011 The 10th IFIP Annual Mediterranean Ad Hoc Networking Workshop","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128697274","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 order to deliver the above reports to the control center, mobile readers establish a mobile ad hoc network. In this context, a possible objective of an attacker may be to make the system believe that the position of a certain RFID tag is different from the actual one. To achieve this, the attacker performs man-in-the-middle and routing diversion attacks. Solutions can be devised for combating such attacks but they involve increased energy consumption. In this paper the problem is stated and the tradeoff between security and energy efficiency discussed. Furthermore, some preliminary results are shown and analyzed.","PeriodicalId":350979,"journal":{"name":"2011 The 10th IFIP Annual Mediterranean Ad Hoc Networking Workshop","volume":"104 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124069278","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}
