We then examine a game in which selfish and strategic relays submit charging functions to the source and choose transmission powers over a MAC channel from the relays to the user. Relay charging functions are considered which yield efficient allocation at the Nash Equilibrium (NE) of the game. We observe that for efficiency, relays should be taxed for the interference it creates to other relays. We also observe that inefficient equilibria occur when the charging function is a function only of the traffic flow rate through the relay. Numerical studies demonstrate the variation of inefficiency with network structure.","PeriodicalId":381489,"journal":{"name":"2014 12th International Symposium on Modeling and Optimization in Mobile, Ad Hoc, and Wireless Networks (WiOpt)","volume":"137 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131590594","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}

Under this cooperative scheme, the paper investigates whether, and under what conditions, the primary and secondary networks can be stabilized without explicit knowledge of the packet arrival-rates. We consider a deterministic and periodic primary packet arrival process and develop a relaying and scheduling algorithm using Lyapunov drift techniques that does not require knowledge of primary and secondary packet arrival rates. The algorithm is then shown to stabilize the transmission queues in the network for all secondary packet arrival rates that lie in the interior of a certain region. The region includes all secondary arrival-rate vectors that can be supported when the secondary nodes do not cooperate. Furthermore, when the primary data arrival-rate is greater than what could have been supported without relays but less than what can be maximally supported with relays, the algorithm stabilizes the network for a non-empty set of secondary arrival-rate vectors. The significance of these results is that they show that properly designed cooperation may result in a win-win scenario for both primary and secondary users (and not just for one type of users). Finally we extend our analysis to the case of a deterministic but aperiodic primary packet arrival process.","PeriodicalId":381489,"journal":{"name":"2014 12th International Symposium on Modeling and Optimization in Mobile, Ad Hoc, and Wireless Networks (WiOpt)","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127935287","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}

RPL has been recently proposed by the ROLL working group as a tree routing protocol specifically designed for LLNs. It relies on objective functions to construct routes that optimize or constrain a routing metric on the paths. However, the working group did not specify the set of metrics and/or constraints to be used to specify the preferred path, and left it open to implementations. In this paper, we design OF-FL, a novel objective function that combines a set of metrics in order to provide a configurable routing decision based on the fuzzy parameters. OF-FL has the advantage to consider the application requirements in order to select the best paths to the destination. Our evaluation with a large-scale testbed in ContikiOS reveals that OF-FL can achieve remarkable performance of the RPL-based LLNs in comparison with the existing objective functions, and appropriately satisfy the quality of service contract of the different applications.","PeriodicalId":381489,"journal":{"name":"2014 12th International Symposium on Modeling and Optimization in Mobile, Ad Hoc, and Wireless Networks (WiOpt)","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127188551","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}

To date, no scientific study has yet raised health issues, although public questions still exist. Whereas, lots of actions focus only on base stations of cellular networks. In order to respond to some potential customers concern, we want to minimize such emissions whenever it is possible within home environment. In this regard, we extend Wi-Fi radiation study [1] by considering involuntary emissions from power lines while carrying data in high frequencies. We first propose a PLC radiation model based on antenna theory. We demonstrate then a link-adaptive radiant exposure path cost that can fit any shortest path algorithm in order to keep electromagnetic radiation under control within a specific area. The goal of this work is to estimate the radiated power generated jointly fromWi-Fi and PLC links within a heterogeneous network and then reduce it using a routing algorithm.","PeriodicalId":381489,"journal":{"name":"2014 12th International Symposium on Modeling and Optimization in Mobile, Ad Hoc, and Wireless Networks (WiOpt)","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129608885","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}

Body Area Sensor Networks (BASNs) is part of the mHealth system that focuses on the acquisition by a group of biomedical sensors of vital signals. However, the design and operation of BASNs are challenging, because of the limited power and small form factor of biomedical sensors. The source encoding and data transmission are the two dominant power-consuming operations in wireless monitoring system. Therefore, in this paper, a cross-layer framework that aims at minimizing the total energy consumption subject to delay and distortion constraints is proposed. The optimal encoding and transmission energy are computed to minimize the energy consumption in a delay constrained wireless BASN. This cross-layer framework is proposed, across Application-MAC-Physical layers. At large scale networks and due to heterogeneity of wireless BASNs, centralized cross-layer optimization becomes less efficient and more complex. Therefore, a distributed cross-layer optimization has been considered in this paper. The proposed solution has close-to-optimal performance with lower complexity. Simulation results show that the distributed scheme achieves the compromise between complexity and efficiency in energy consumption compared to centralized scheme.","PeriodicalId":381489,"journal":{"name":"2014 12th International Symposium on Modeling and Optimization in Mobile, Ad Hoc, and Wireless Networks (WiOpt)","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121491796","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 general hetnet model is considered consisting of an arbitrary number of open-access and closed-access tier of base stations (BSs) arranged according to independent homogeneous Poisson point processes. The BSs of each tier have a constant transmission power, random fading coefficient with an arbitrary distribution and arbitrary path-loss exponent of the power-law path-loss model. For such a system, analytical characterizations for the coverage probability and average rate at an arbitrary mobile-station (MS), and average per-tier load are derived for the max-SINR connectivity model. Using stochastic ordering, interesting properties and simplifications for the hetnet downlink performance are derived by relating this connectivity model to the maximum instantaneous received power (MIRP) connectivity model, providing good insights about the hetnets and the downlink performance in these complex networks. Furthermore, the results also demonstrate the effectiveness and analytical tractability of the stochastic geometric approach to study the hetnet performance.","PeriodicalId":381489,"journal":{"name":"2014 12th International Symposium on Modeling and Optimization in Mobile, Ad Hoc, and Wireless Networks (WiOpt)","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134639478","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}

Specifically, we analyze the flow-level performance of two inter-carrier load balancing schemes and the gain engendered by Carrier Aggregation (CA). CA is one of the most important features of HSPA+ networks; it allows devices to be served simultaneously by several carriers. We propose Volume Balancing (VB) and Join the Fastest Queue (JFQ), a load-balancing mechanism that allows the traffic of non-CA users to be distributed over the aggregated carriers. We then evaluate the performance of both CA and non-CA users by means of analytical modeling. We show that the proposed schemes achieve efficient load balancing. We also investigate the impact of mixing traffic of CA and non-CA users in the same cell and show that performance is practically insensitive to the traffic mix.","PeriodicalId":381489,"journal":{"name":"2014 12th International Symposium on Modeling and Optimization in Mobile, Ad Hoc, and Wireless Networks (WiOpt)","volume":"83 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-02-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126270152","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}
