The source routing discovery method faces the challenge of probing space explosion phenomenon which generates a large volume of traffic and takes a significant amount of time to discover the entire network. On the other hand, a routing protocol based approach, such as OSPFv3, discovers the network connectivity but only discovers the prefix portion of the IPv6 addresses. To address these issues, this paper proposes an efficient probing space reduction algorithm by combining source routing and OSPFv3 for the purpose of network discovery. The idea is to apply source routing based on the information obtained from the OSPFv3 based discovery for IPv6. Preliminary experimental results show that the proposed algorithm reduces redundant probing for source routing significantly, which is useful for network management.","PeriodicalId":392180,"journal":{"name":"2014 Global Information Infrastructure and Networking Symposium (GIIS)","volume":"87 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122951536","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 vehicles must have the ability to transmit and receive urgent messages with low latency. Infrastructures such as hospitals and police stations should be equipped with base stations capable of communicating in near real-time fashion with vehicles. In addition to that, in a smart grid scenario, this is especially important between the power charging station and the Electric Vehicles (EVs), Nowadays the best standard that is designed to operate in a vehicular environment is the IEEE 802.11p standard. It is a contention-based Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol that provides Quality of Service (QoS) for Wireless Access in the Vehicular Environment (WAVE). In this paper we propose a low-latency version of this protocol by introducing a finite buffer at the MAC level that momentarily stocks the packets coming from the application layer. Our proposed architecture is modeled with a Markov chain analytical method. Our results show an enhancement in the performance in terms of the end-to-end delay and an improvement in the throughput.","PeriodicalId":392180,"journal":{"name":"2014 Global Information Infrastructure and Networking Symposium (GIIS)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129412921","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}

ReCoP does not depend on fixed reference node/s or infrastructure, and it is independent of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) reading. Instead one node in each group of one-hop connected neighbours establishes relative map for group members. Then when messages (e.g., warning messages) arrive to the vehicle with gateway responsibility, the coordinates transform to be recognized by different relative maps. This approach can be utilized in data dissemination to reduce broadcast storm problem due to redundant retransmissions. It has been compared with the Local Self Positioning (LSP) in which each vehicle individually builds its own local relative map. The performance of the proposed algorithm, ReCoP, has been evaluated with respect to different traffic density, transmission range, and speed. The simulation results illustrate that ReCoP computes the relative position with more precision than LSP. It also demonstrates the scalability, robustness, and flexibility of the proposed ReCoP compared to LSP.","PeriodicalId":392180,"journal":{"name":"2014 Global Information Infrastructure and Networking Symposium (GIIS)","volume":"202 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115023867","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 SDN controller is vulnerable to degradation due to a well-known phenomenon called Software Aging. To the best of our knowledge, this work is the first that assesses the impacts of software aging on current implementation of SDN controllers.

This paper presents an experimental performance evaluation of wireless communication, using IEEE 802.11 b/g between boats in the Negro river. The main goal is to characterize the transmission and the contacts of boats, aiming at evaluating the goodput of a delay tolerant network (DTN) formed by boats in the Amazon basin.

However, simulations mainly analyze their performance individually, without considering issues in experimental environments. Hence, this work presents an experimental performance analysis comparison between the single-path and the multipath routing approaches, aiming to understand their behavior in order to assist the design of efficient routing protocols. Evaluation scenarios employ static and low mobility situations, applying two major protocols from the literature to represent the routing approaches. Results confirm the advantages of multipath routing, which has shown a packet loss ratio reduction of four fold related to the single-path one under static scenarios, and about three fold under low mobility.","PeriodicalId":392180,"journal":{"name":"2014 Global Information Infrastructure and Networking Symposium (GIIS)","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114274073","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}

Smaller cells cause the mobile subscribers to cross several cells during an ongoing conversation resulting in frequent handovers. Most of works dealing with Call Admission Control (CAC) problems based on guard channels scheme in cellular mobile networks consider models without retrials (reapeted calls phenomenon). However, almost all existing works which take into account retrial consider an infinite population cell resulting in multi-servers retrial queueing model, for which the analytical solution is not available. In this paper, we propose to use the Generalized Stochastic Petri Nets (GSPNs) formalism as a novel alternative to investigate a new CAC strategy with retrial policy of fresh and handover calls generated by a finite population of subscribers, based on prioritization of retrial calls and adopting a guard channels borrowing concept, operating in SCNs. Performance evaluation shows that our approach is more efficient compared to basic guard channel scheme with better blocking probability, especially for low to medium handover calls rates.","PeriodicalId":392180,"journal":{"name":"2014 Global Information Infrastructure and Networking Symposium (GIIS)","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115641860","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}

Overlay networks are managed in the edge such as top of rack switch or simply by a software added in hypervisor layer as Open virtual switch.

This paper presents a state-of-the-art survey reviewing both the most commonly used on-body sensors, over the last thirty years, to compute in-body data and the most popular optokinetic cameras. The results are presented and classified into tables which show the evolution of on-body sensors since the 1980's, but also the challenges that lie ahead, as very accurate sensors only accentuate the faults of an inaccurate musculoskeletal model.
