Simultaneous Wireless Information and Power Transfer (SWIPT) is an emerging technique which allows mobile devices to harvest energy from radio frequency (RF) signals. Moreover, Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA) serves multiple users simultaneously using the same subchannel inter-user interference mitigation. By considering the aforementioned issues, in this paper, we propose a subchannel assignment scheme for SWIPT-NOMA based pico base station/femto base station with macro-cellular networks. The energy-efficient subchannel assignment is a probabilistic mixed non-convex optimization problem by considering imperfect channel state information (CSI). To address this problem, many-to-many matching theory is used in the proposal. Numerical results show that the proposed algorithm performs better in terms of numbers of PUs/FUs, average energy efficiency (EE) of the Picocells/Femtocells, in comparison to the orthogonal frequency division access scheme and conventional NOMA.","PeriodicalId":363800,"journal":{"name":"2019 15th International Wireless Communications & Mobile Computing Conference (IWCMC)","volume":"42 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":"131660051","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}

It has been a crucial issue of network operation that once multiple links fail simultaneously, the transmission of real-time services cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, rapid locating of faults is the premise for network to recover quickly. However, current faults location methods can’t satisfy the requirement due to the expansion scale of wireless and optical networks and the growing demands of customers. In this paper, we propose an efficient multi-link faults location algorithm based on Hopfield Neural Network (HNN). We make full use of the information of network topology and the services transmitted to model the relationship between fault set and alarm set. HNN is used as an optimization method to analyze the uncertainty of faults and alarms and to find where the faults most likely occur by constructing a proper energy function. It has been proved by experiments that this method can achieve real-time faults location while ensuring positioning accuracy, which provides a good solution for smart city service assurance.","PeriodicalId":363800,"journal":{"name":"2019 15th International Wireless Communications & Mobile Computing Conference (IWCMC)","volume":"75 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":"115436949","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, the integration of D2D communications in cellular networks creates two main challenges. First, the interference caused by the D2D links to the cellular links could significantly affect the performance of the cellular devices. Second, the minimum QoS requirements of D2D communications need to be guaranteed. Thus, the synchronization between devices becomes a necessity while Radio Resource Management (RRM) always represents a challenge. In this paper, we study the RRM problem for Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) communication.

Since the range of this data is locally restricted, centralized server architectures are taken into consideration to alleviate challenges caused by highly automated driving at higher speeds. Therefore, a server accumulates this sensor data and provides aggregated information about the traffic situation utilizing mobile network-based vehicle to server communication. To schedule communication traffic on this fluctuating channel reliably, various approaches on throughput prediction are conducted. On one hand there are models based on aggregation depending on the position, e.g. connectivity maps. On the other hand there are traditional machine learning approaches, i.a.

These tiny sensor nodes leverage the idea of nano sensor networks that are expected to find several applications such as health care monitoring, wildlife surveillance, etc. The networking of several nano-devices is still a major open issue. In fact, the very limited transmission ranges in the terahertz band renders direct communication between nano-devices unfeasible most of the time. Hence, multihop communication among nano-nodes is currently regarded as the viable solution for nano-network realization. However, the simplicity and energy constraints of nano-sensor nodes are far from the complexity of classical multi-hop routing and forwarding protocols. On the other hand, researches on dedicated communications protocols for Wireless Nano Sensor Networks (WNSNs) are still in their early stage. In this paper, we propose a geographic routing algorithm for efficient data dissemination in electromagnetic WNSN. We evaluate our solution in the context of a health-monitoring application where multiple nano-devices are deployed in an artery. We compare our proposal to the flooding scheme and results confirm that the geographic routing scheme is scalable and energy efficient without impairing the packet delivery ratio.","PeriodicalId":363800,"journal":{"name":"2019 15th International Wireless Communications & Mobile Computing Conference (IWCMC)","volume":"9 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":"125012124","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 simulation results have shown 100% estimation accuracy for constellation rotation angles within the (-45, 45) degrees range.

These names are used in both interest and data packets and other data structures that may consume more memory with long lookup time. This paper targets the naming aspect in vehicular named data networks and proposes a Name-to-Hash Encoding scheme. The idea consists of hashing each name components separately to a fixed length, then perform a heuristic Wu-Manber-like algorithm lookup process. The former process enhances the NDN to consume less memory compared to hierarchical names, the latter process provides a fast lookup time.

This entails analysis of various QoS metrics (such as bandwidth, packet loss and jitter) in order to be able to improve their services. This is a single-dimensional approach to a problem that needs to be analyzed not only from a business improvement perspective but also from a customer satisfaction perspective. QoS metrics do not directly translate to customer experience, which is more qualitative than quantitative. Thus, it is necessary to correlate qualitative metrics that customers relate to with quantitative metrics that can be analyzed and improved upon by service providers. This is a non-trivial problem that needs deeper exploration. In this paper, we attempt to correlate video conferencing QoE (Quality of Experience) with network QoS. In order to do this, we developed a novel Docker image called Lime, to be able to automate the experiments and emulate the network environment. We performed 144 separate video conferences under predefined network handicaps (scenarios). We discovered that bandwidth is directly proportional to the perceived quality of the video implying that higher bandwidth is preferred. On the other hand, frequently fluctuating bandwidth quickly reduced the user-opinion, and also resulted in slower subsequent climb in opinion after a period of high fluctuation. This indicated that steady bandwidth is preferred over irregularly increasing bandwidth. Jitter and packet loss were found to contribute to negative user-opinion as well as low bandwidth. Conversely, increasing jitter and packet loss was mostly forgiven if the bandwidth stayed stable and high. Lime is shown to be a novel tool to fulfill requirements related to video conferencing experiments under pre-defined network scenarios.","PeriodicalId":363800,"journal":{"name":"2019 15th International Wireless Communications & Mobile Computing Conference (IWCMC)","volume":"11 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":"115070239","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}
