In order to protect the sensitive data and the sensor readings, secret keys should be used to encrypt the exchanged messages between communicating nodes. Traditional asymmetric key cryptosystems are infeasible in WSN due to its low capacity at each senor node. In this paper, we propose a new key distribution scheme for hierarchical WSNs with renewable network devices. Compared to some of the existing schemes, our methods possess the following features that are particularly beneficial to the resource-constrained large-scale WSNs: (1) robustness to the node capture attack, (2) flexibility on key establishment for adding new network devices, (3) scalability in terms of storage cost, and (4) low communication overhead.","PeriodicalId":412079,"journal":{"name":"2009 European Wireless Conference","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-05-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114821136","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 latter works for both downlink and uplink scheduling, with slightly different embodiments due to the different technology constraints. Its basic principle is to select users based on their channel conditions when the deadlines are far ahead: as the deadlines approach, they become progressively more important. Furthermore, resources for scheduled users are allocated sparingly, i.e. enough to serve packets whose deadline is actually near, so as to make room for a possibly larger number of simultaneous users, and keeping into account the user channel state. Simulative evaluation shows that HY-CART performs better than the previous work, allowing more users to be served with the same resources.","PeriodicalId":412079,"journal":{"name":"2009 European Wireless Conference","volume":"20 15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-05-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116718946","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}

We propose an SMDP (Semi Markov Decision Process) approach to derive the optimal DSA policies in terms of operator reward. In order to overcome the limitations induced by optimal policy implementation, we also propose a simple, though sub-optimal, DSA heuristic. The achieved reward is shown to be very close to the optimal case and thus to significantly exceed the reward obtained with FSA (Fixed Spectrum Access). Higher rewards and better spectrum utilization with DSA optimal and heuristic methods are however obtained at the price of a reduced average user throughput.","PeriodicalId":412079,"journal":{"name":"2009 European Wireless Conference","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-05-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128211714","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 this paper the performance of frequency and time domain scheduling in LTE uplink is investigated. In particular, we focus on the performance impact of various scheduling metrics which try to achieve proportional fairness in throughput or resource allocation. Our analysis shows that a combination of a throughput-based metric in the time domain and an SINR-based metric in the frequency domain is able to provide the highest performance. For example, in a noise-limited propagation environment with high inter-site distance the sector throughput gain compared to performing throughput-based proportional fair scheduling in both time and frequency domain is above 20%.","PeriodicalId":412079,"journal":{"name":"2009 European Wireless Conference","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-05-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125687895","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}

Therefore all channel adaptive modulation and coding schemes require good channel state information. For FDD this needs to be signalled back from user terminals to base stations or relays, so that the adaptive scheduling algorithms there can decide optimally.

From a simple device for voice communication, it became a full blown multimedia device with multiple features and appealing services. In parallel with the introduction of novel services, mobile devices became more and more energy-hungry reducing the operational time for the user. To extend the battery life of mobile phones is one of the top priorities for mobile phones' manufacturers. This paper presents results of power and energy consumption measurements conducted on mobile phones for 2G and 3G networks. The services under investigation were text messaging, voice and data. The paper reports larger energy consumption in 3G networks for text messaging and voice services than energy consumption in 2G networks. On the other side the 3G networks become more energy friendly when large volumes of data have to be downloaded. The results imply that mobile phones should switch the network in dependency of the service used to save the maximum amount of energy. As this handover consumes energy, we include its analysis in our measurements.","PeriodicalId":412079,"journal":{"name":"2009 European Wireless Conference","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-05-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124910585","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 this paper, we analyze the performance of an RF level equal gain combiner. Two alternative but numerically equivalent representations of the probability density function and characteristic function of the combined signal amplitude for binary phase shift keying signals (BPSK) over Rayleigh fading channels are derived. The newly derived characteristic function is then used to evaluate the error probability. Finally, we compare the performance with binary frequency shift keying (BFSK) and differential binary phase shift keying (DBPSK) schemes with diversity reception. It is shown that for only 3 level phase compensation, BPSK exhibits superior performance to both BFSK and DBPSK.","PeriodicalId":412079,"journal":{"name":"2009 European Wireless Conference","volume":"65 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-05-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116810905","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}
