The paper proposes to model such data by a suitable RDF ontology specifically designed to support the main user scenarios in smart cities and to implement both the technical and the service interoperability envisaged by the CPS ideal model. This ontology is obtained by reusing existing ontologies and allows the DSSs to access by SPARQL queries all the relevant data independent of the proprietary technology of the CPSs and of the DBMS adopted by the data owners. Examples derived from the pilot version of the proposed platform allows us to point out advantages and perspectives of our approach.","PeriodicalId":399247,"journal":{"name":"2016 13th IEEE Annual Consumer Communications & Networking Conference (CCNC)","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117194629","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}

Existing schedulers consider the Channel Quality Indicator (CQI) reports to determine their priority rules. Nevertheless, these reports may not be sufficiently accurate. In addition, existing scheduling policies fail to provide a good tradeoff among low Packet Loss Ratio (PLR) and bounded delay, which is primordial in QoS provisioning. In this paper, we propose a new LTE-A downlink scheduler based on rate prediction. The proposal consists of a semipersistent downlink scheduler oriented for Real time (RT) applications. It is based on an algorithm called Predicted Bit-Rate (PBR). The proposed scheduler is called Highway and Rate Prediction Downlink Scheduler (HRPDS). The main contribution targeted in this paper is guaranteeing an enhanced trade-off between low PLR and bounded delay. In addition, we support prediction in an aim to guarantee a more accurate resource assignment. Further, analytical study shows that the proposal is consistent in terms of QoS provisioning. Simulation results validate the analytical study and prove that the proposed scheduler outperforms the existing schedulers.","PeriodicalId":399247,"journal":{"name":"2016 13th IEEE Annual Consumer Communications & Networking Conference (CCNC)","volume":"461 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123049581","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}

AODV is a reactive MANET routing protocol that is vulnerable to a dramatic collapse of network performance in the presence of blackhole attack. The paper introduces a new concept of Self-Protocol Trustiness (SPT) in which detecting a malicious intruder is accomplished by complying with the normal protocol behavior and lures the malicious node to give an implicit avowal of its malicious behavior. We present a Blackhole Resisting Mechanism (BRM) to resist such attacks that can be incorporated into any reactive routing protocol. It does not require expensive cryptography or authentication mechanisms, but relies on locally applied timers and thresholds to classify nodes as malicious. No modifications to the packet formats are needed, so the overhead is a small amount of calculation at nodes, and no extra communication. Using NS2 simulation, we compare the performance of networks using AODV under blackhole attacks with and without our mechanism to SAODV, showing that it significantly reduces the effect of a blackhole attack.","PeriodicalId":399247,"journal":{"name":"2016 13th IEEE Annual Consumer Communications & Networking Conference (CCNC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116277003","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}

Traffic flows might belong and required to satisfy different set of requirements for a diverse set of applications, end users and networks. Schedulers have several goals to achieve in order to meet the needs of all stakeholders involved. Some schedulers are built to ensure fairness in bandwidth allocation, others try to prioritize certain flows and increase their share in the network resources, typically available bandwidth, and last but not least some are built to meet the stringent and time critical delay constraint of certain flows. Weighted fair queuing (WFQ) is a very well known scheduling algorithm that fairly allocates bandwidth between a set of flows contending for available output bandwidth while taking their weights into its scheduling calculation. Earliest deadline first (EDF), on the other hand, is a scheduling mechanism that favors flow packets that are about to expire and gives them preferential treatment and priority to be transmitted first. Neither WFQ nor EDF achieves both fairness and deadline goals simultaneously. For this reason, we introduced our fair and delay adaptive scheduler (FDAS) to bridge the gap and balance between fairness and delay requirements of incoming traffic flows. In this paper, we present a detailed simulation comparative study to manifest the difference between our proposed scheduler and the two popular schedulers and how it outperforms both to relatively achieve both bandwidth allocation fairness and traffic delay bound objectives simultaneously.","PeriodicalId":399247,"journal":{"name":"2016 13th IEEE Annual Consumer Communications & Networking Conference (CCNC)","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128188517","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}
