In the CRN network the sensing data from secondary users (SUs) are collected by a fusion center (FC) with the help of access points (AP) as relays, and when malicious eavesdropping secondary users (SUs) are listening. We focus on the secure transmission of active SUs transmitting their sensing data to the AP. Closed expressions for the average secrecy rate are presented. Numerical results corroborate our analysis and show that multiple antennas at the APs can enhance the security of the AF-CSS-CRN. The obtained numerical results show that average secrecy rate between the AP and its correlated FC decreases when the number of AP is increased. Nevertheless, we find that an increase in the number of AP initially increases the overall average secrecy rate, with a perilous value at which the overall average secrecy rate then decreases. While increasing the number of active SUs, there is a decrease in the secrecy rate between the sensor and its correlated AP.","PeriodicalId":363800,"journal":{"name":"2019 15th International Wireless Communications & Mobile Computing Conference (IWCMC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131360805","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}

Originally, the TCP algorithm was developed for short latency and low link error network environments and has become a de-facto standard protocol for the reliable delivery of IP traffic over the Internet, which, in reality, is a heterogeneous network environment nowadays. Using the real latency figures measured with our testbed systems, we numerically analyse the performance of a standard TCP scheme and compare it with the newly developed TCP Hybla algorithm that claims to address performance degradation due to long round-trip-time (RTT) and high wireless link error channels such as Geostationary Satellite Links. The overall performance was compared with the achievable throughput of each of the two TCP algorithms and available bandwidth of the real testbed system. TCP Hybla performed better even with changing real values of RTT obtained from a real hybrid ISTN environment with a Geostationary Satellite link as the testbed.","PeriodicalId":363800,"journal":{"name":"2019 15th International Wireless Communications & Mobile Computing Conference (IWCMC)","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133503947","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}

Famous acupuncturists represent the highest academic level and treatment ability, and have an important influence on development of acupuncture and rehabilitation of patients. Therefore, how to accurately find the acupuncturist is a difficult problem for both patients and peer doctors. At the same time, Internet is also full of a large number of false information, how to accurately analyze the real acupuncturist from these information is the key issue. We can automatically acquire these tags by using information collection technology, and select acupuncture experts from them by combining artificial intelligence. However, tags of social network users is sparse, only a small number of users have tags, and the number of tags is limited. Most users only publish articles and pay attention to other interested users and blogs. They do not tag themselves. There are problems of no tags or less tags, which make it more difficult to find acupuncturists. For untagged users, we can consider predicting tags from their social relationships. In this paper, we design an intelligent tag prediction algorithms for acupuncture experts, which first predicts intimate users of users, and then predicts the users' tags through intimate users' tags. Firstly, possible close users are selected as candidates through cosine similarity. If the user doesn't have an object of interest, then replace it with his fans. Subsequently, user tags are predicted according to the tags of the target audience or fans. Finally, the effectiveness of ITPAE is verified by simulation experiments.","PeriodicalId":363800,"journal":{"name":"2019 15th International Wireless Communications & Mobile Computing Conference (IWCMC)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128560790","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}

This could drastically impact the future internet of thing (IoT) ecosystem. In this regard, Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) has introduced a new cellular-based technology called Narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT) which is one of the potential technologies for enabling IoT application in vehicular, health-care, industry 4.0, etc. However, NB-IoT technology is still in its infancy and so far it is unclear whether it is sufficiently reliable to complement or replace existing short-range and cellular technologies to enable such use-case scenarios. Therefore, this paper presents a preliminary investigation of the coverage of NB-IoT in three different scenarios i.e., outdoor, indoor, and underground with empirical measurements, one of the key performance indicators in which operators are most interested. The measurements were conducted on Tallinn University of Technology (TalTech) campus and nearby residential areas within a range of 700 m. The obtained results indicate that NB-IoT is able to provide good connectivity to meet the IoT application requirements in outdoor and indoor environments. However, for an underground scenario with the beam enabled for 700 m, it is only possible to provide connectivity to the devices up to 400 m. Furthermore, it is also observed that NB-IoT is able to provide connectivity to devices with a received signal strength indicator (RSSI) value as low as −105 dBm as compared to −95 dBm as in long-term evolution (LTE).","PeriodicalId":363800,"journal":{"name":"2019 15th International Wireless Communications & Mobile Computing Conference (IWCMC)","volume":"221 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126998510","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}

They operate in frequency bands (IEEE L-Band, IEEE S-Band, and ISM band) shared with other users. Accordingly, these frequency bands have become overcrowded and UAVs may face the issue of spectrum scarcity. Furthermore, there are particular difficulties associated with aeronautical communication links. Cognitive radio (CR) has emerged as a promising strategy for resolving the problems caused by scarce spectrum. It checks the spectrum availability and allows the adjustment of the transmission parameters. The aim is to opportunistically use spectral bands with minimum interference to applications or other users. In this paper, we present a centralized CR based frequency allocation scheme for UAV-Ground Control Station (GCS) communication in surveillance applications within an urban environment. In the proposed model, the GCS monitors and allocates available WiMAX frequencies using CR and Software Defined Radio (SDR). If no WiMAX frequency is available at a given time, the Wi-Fi will be used. Therefore in the worst case, our approach will have the same performance as when the Wi-Fi is only used for UAV-GCS communication.","PeriodicalId":363800,"journal":{"name":"2019 15th International Wireless Communications & Mobile Computing Conference (IWCMC)","volume":"78 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121140791","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}

Sensors in such networks are used to gather data periodically about a given zone area and send the collected data to the sink. However, such networks face several challenges especially the limited energy source and the data management. Hence, data sampling approach is becoming one of the essential techniques that saves he sensor energies and extend the network lifetime. Adaptive algorithms are created to allow each sensor to adapt its sampling rate to the application under surveillance, which leads to reduced data collection thus, reducing energy consumption. In this paper, we propose a new adaptive sampling technique that is dedicated to periodic sensor network applications. Our technique consists of two stages: aggregation and adapting stages. The first stage is applied at sensor level and aims to reduce the amount of data collected by the sensor. The second stage is applied at an intermediate level node called cluster-head (CH). The CH receives data periodically from the sensors and computes the new sampling rate for each sensor based on the spatio-temporal correlation between the sensors. Our technique is evaluated based on real sensor data collected in the Intel lab. The obtained results show the effectiveness of our technique in terms reducing the energy consumption while ensuring a high level of data accuracy and coverage network.","PeriodicalId":363800,"journal":{"name":"2019 15th International Wireless Communications & Mobile Computing Conference (IWCMC)","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130793103","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 using a dictionary trained over a set of example beam selection matrices, as a beam selection tool. In this context, a learned dictionary can more effectively guarantee the sparsity of the representation at the specified sparsity level, owing to the dictionary learning process. This means that it gives a better sparse representation, and, consequently, a better channel estimation quality.
