The data captured by participants is typically submitted to an intermediary (the service provider) who will build a service based upon this data. For a participatory sensing system to attract the data submissions it requires, its users often need to be incentivized. Such an incentivization mechanism typically requires users to at least partially disclose their identity to be able to reward them. This, however, might deter privacy conscious users from participating. Therefore, an incentivization mechanism needs to support anonymous data submission and rewarding. In addition, inference attacks can illegitimately gain further information about participants through linking data submissions or tracing rewards. This paper presents Identity Privacy Preserving Incentivization (IPPI), a decentralized peer-to-peer exchange that preserves identity privacy by enabling anonymous and unlinkable data submission and anonymous and untraceable reward allocation. This is achieved through the modification and extension of the concept of decentralized trading for cryptocurrencies to make payments (i.e., rewards) sent to a recipient (i.e., the participant) untraceable. Furthermore, the use of the Diffie-Hellman Exchange Protocol is modified to enable participants to create their own untraceable reward currency in the form of tokens to which the service provider can then assign value. The preservation of identity privacy is demonstrated by way of proof. The performance of the approach is also evaluated.","PeriodicalId":398108,"journal":{"name":"2018 Eleventh International Conference on Mobile Computing and Ubiquitous Network (ICMU)","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126697054","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 achieve long-term portability and network-side positioning, the system does not directly rely on GPS receiver mounted on terminals but use machine learning for location estimation via the received signal strength indication (RSSI) measurements. In particular, the system consists of Wi-SUN beacons, Wi-SUN base-stations and vehicular devices. A beacon, attached to the one to be positioned, broadcasts wireless signal periodically so that its location can be estimated using machine learning algorithms from the RSSIs measured at multiple base-stations that are densely deployed over a city to construct an ad hoc network. Using the mobility of vehicles that roam over a city routinely, such like garbage collection trucks, buses and taxies. Vehicular devices containing both a Wi-SUN beacon and a GPS are used to collect RSSIs and the corresponding GPS coordinates to train the estimation models. We develop a prototype system consisting of 9 base-stations and deploy it to our university campus to conduct a field experiment to validate the proposed approach. Offline analysis on the data collected from the experiment showed that a RandomForest learner performs best among four selected learning algorithms using the default parameters of Weka 3.8, which achieves a mean absolute error of 35.43m and a root mean squared error of 44.21m, respectively. Evaluation on network performance is also conducted.","PeriodicalId":398108,"journal":{"name":"2018 Eleventh International Conference on Mobile Computing and Ubiquitous Network (ICMU)","volume":"153 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116727759","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, most existing algorithms are sensitive to parameter settings or lack robustness in non-TCP flow scenario. This paper propose a traffic shaping method based on queue management. In order to shape the distribution of received traffic in queuing system into any desired distribution, a traffic shaping method by selectively dropping the arrival packets is then proposed. On the basis of this theoretical analysis the proposed queue management algorithm ITS (Input Traffic Shaping) turns the parameters adaptively for optimal system performance. The input traffic shaper serves as a guideline for packet dropping strategy and Poisson distribution is selected as the desired distribution. Simulation results show that compared with existing algorithms, ITS can control delay more effectively, reduce jitter and enhance system throughput in non-TCP flow scenarios.","PeriodicalId":398108,"journal":{"name":"2018 Eleventh International Conference on Mobile Computing and Ubiquitous Network (ICMU)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133234083","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 demand is likely to increase further. In a mobile network, communication quality deteriorates due to the congestion of the cellular infrastructure because of the concentration of demand for mobile data communication. Therefore, improving the cellular infrastructure bandwidth utilization efficiency is crucial. To improve the cellular infrastructure bandwidth utilization efficiency, we previously proposed the mobile data offloading protocol. Although this method balances the load by focusing on the delay tolerance of contents in the uplink, accurately balancing the load is challenging. In this paper, we propose a mobile data offloading method using deep reinforcement learning for increasing offloading performance of the uplink. The proposed method can balance the load appropriately by learning what the bandwidth and transmission timing provide to the user equipment when the previous method does not work properly.","PeriodicalId":398108,"journal":{"name":"2018 Eleventh International Conference on Mobile Computing and Ubiquitous Network (ICMU)","volume":"115 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115742865","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, virtual reality technologies offer plausible feeling to them residing in the same location. Students can attend their classes anytime anywhere from their mobile virtual reality (VR) devices, but they feel to take a class in the same class room. Moreover, virtual reality technologies can provide additional effects that cannot be realized in traditional real-world class rooms.
