This remarkable result can be achieved without resorting to complementary radio technologies, but by adding a few basic functionalities that simply rely on enabling the mobile operator to be aware of the fact that people are interacting by mobile phone in proximity. As a first contribution of this paper we give empirical evidence of the role played by these short-range social interactions through an extensive analysis of the large anonymized datasets of Call Detail Records (CDR) of two different mobile operators. Then, we describe a NFV/SDN-based approach that a mobile operator should adopt to detect whether a voice/text activity is directed to a nearby person, to negotiate with adjacent cells the establishment of the communication channel and to divert the traffic over it to offload the core network.","PeriodicalId":399247,"journal":{"name":"2016 13th IEEE Annual Consumer Communications & Networking Conference (CCNC)","volume":"125 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":"116847909","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 dual polarization antenna is a typical example using SAM. Taking advantage of OAM transmission, multiplexing gain can be achieved by transmitting multi-modes of OAM in line of sight(LOS) environment. To exploit OAM in radio frequency domain, uniform circular array(UCA) architecture assigning signals with different phase to each antenna was proposed to generate OAM carrying beam. However, only single polarization antenna was considered in existing research, so there is a limitation to increase channel capacity. Also, conventional research only considered ideal antennas that radiate isotropically, which are not much practical. In this paper, we propose a new system utilizing both OAM and SAM by using practical dual polarization antenna based UCA architecture to increase the channel capacity. Then, a receive array is located at off-axis to apply practical environment. The channel capacity according to the distance between transmit and receive array called T-R distance is investigated to analyze the performance of proposed system for three antenna configurations that are vertical polarization, horizontal polarization and dual polarization antenna configuration. Furthermore, bit error rate(BER) performances are observed for each antenna configuration.","PeriodicalId":399247,"journal":{"name":"2016 13th IEEE Annual Consumer Communications & Networking Conference (CCNC)","volume":"31 6 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":"116912215","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}

One of the biggest challenges in realizing such immersive media experience is the dynamic management of synchronicity between associated media streams. This is further complicated by the faceted aspects of user perception and heterogeneity of user devices and networks. This paper introduces a QoE-aware open inter-stream media synchronization framework (IMSync). IMSync employs efficient monitoring and control mechanisms, as well as a bespoke QoE impact model derived from subjective user experiments. Given a current lag, IMSync's aim is to use the impact model to determine a good catch-up strategy that minimizes detrimental impact on QoE. The impact model balances the accumulative impact of re-synchronization processes and the degree of non-synchronicity to ensure the QoE. Experimental results verify the run-time performance of the framework as a foundation for immersive media experience in open N-Screens cloud.","PeriodicalId":399247,"journal":{"name":"2016 13th IEEE Annual Consumer Communications & Networking Conference (CCNC)","volume":"47 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":"132599622","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}

Anomaly-based intrusion prevention is an important part of cybersecurity, which offers the possibility of detecting some zero-day attacks. Typically, detection speed and efficacy (in terms of true and false positives) are considered in evaluating intrusion detection schemes. However, effective configuration (training and tuning) is critical for deployment of such schemes in practice. As network traffic may shift over time, the ability to perform fast reconfiguration is needed to provide the level of security necessary for future applications.

Because smartphones do not have a standard data interfaces, many ubiquitous sensing applications use the earphone and the microphone channels of the 3.5mm audio interface for data communications so that they can work with various types of smartphones. The earphone channels of the 3.5mm audio interface can only send AC signal out of a smartphone, and hence DC power needs to be harvested from the earphone channels. Based on frequency shift keying (FSK) modulation scheme, a recent technology developed a joint power harvesting and communication technology to harvest more power from both earphone channels without affecting data communications. However, a transformer is used in the power harvesting circuit, which not only adds the size and the cost of the circuit, but also limits the data rate of the communication. In this paper, we have proposed a novel power harvesting circuit without a transformer. Extensive circuit measurements show that the newly proposed circuit can extract more power than that with a transformer. Furthermore, it allows a reliable communication with much higher data rate from a smartphone to external sensors.","PeriodicalId":399247,"journal":{"name":"2016 13th IEEE Annual Consumer Communications & Networking Conference (CCNC)","volume":"62 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":"116520165","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 unit-disk signal propagation model has been implicitly assumed and extensively applied to prior broadcast protocols, but we need to relax this assumption in reality. In this paper, we propose a transitional region aware broadcast protocol, called TCast, in variable wireless link qualities due to the signal propagation effects and non-uniform radiation pattern from the omni-directional antenna. The TCast is a stateless protocol and consists of two major operations, forwarder search and probabilistic rebroadcast. A sender neither maintains any neighbor information nor searches for a set of forwarders, but broadcasts a set of Beacon packets followed by a single Data packet. The sender repeatedly conducts the broadcast operations depending on the number of rebroadcasted packets overheard. Each receiver independently makes its own rebroadcast decision based on the number of received Beacon packets. A network-level random backoff mechanism is also proposed to avoid any packet contentions and collisions. The transitional region and its corresponding probability of packet reception are further investigated through a simple mathematical analysis. Extensive simulation experiments are also conducted using the OMNeT++, and simulation results indicate that the TCast shows competitive and scalable performance and is deployable in time-varying packet reception rates at receivers.","PeriodicalId":399247,"journal":{"name":"2016 13th IEEE Annual Consumer Communications & Networking Conference (CCNC)","volume":"5 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":"122737538","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}
