Among these, human blockage and vehicular blockage are more prominent scenarios that can lead to link failure. In this paper, we analyze the effect of vehicular blockage on 5G mmWave systems using stochastic geometric models. Using this analysis, we derive the blockage probability of the link and provide a relation to latency in communication with vehicular blockage in various scenarios. Further, we show and quantify the fact that with dynamic point selection (DPS) scheme where user maintains simultaneous links with geographically separated transmit and receive points (TRP), the coverage probability can be improved significantly and the latency due to blockage can be reduced. We analyze the blockage probability and latency for DPS system in terms of blocker density, length and typical speed of the vehicle and number of simultaneous links maintained by the user. The proposed analytical model is validated using system level simulations. We show the trade off between the number of simultaneous links and latency using these results which helps in 5G system design for latency critical applications.","PeriodicalId":443862,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 17th Annual Consumer Communications & Networking Conference (CCNC)","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114844615","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}

With a significant human-machine interaction component, the Tactile Internet will require that the experiences based on the human visual interface can be dynamically adjusted within similar time frames. In this paper, we evaluate the impact that different delays currently attainable with commercial hardware would have on predicting the Quality of Experience (QoE) with immersive images. Specifically, we employ electroencephalography (EEG) data to predict how future subjects would determine the media quality in a Passive Human In-the-Loop (PHIL) scenario. This initial extension of our prior work focuses specifically on the delay in the gathering and processing of data and presents a first foray of bringing the passive human-in-the-loop QoE adjustment approach to the Tactile Internet. We find that there is limited value in increasing the delays of two different approaches to predicting the QoE. We additionally note that current approaches to predicting a user's QoE based on other users' EEG patterns exhibit only limited prediction accuracy.","PeriodicalId":443862,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 17th Annual Consumer Communications & Networking Conference (CCNC)","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127527149","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 NCS, the interconnection of a control logic with sensors and actuators used to steer a physical system occurs over a communication network. Despite large research interest on NCS, the reproducibility and comparison of experimental results are difficult to achieve. This is caused by the lack of well-established models and methodologies that combine the theoretical and practical aspects of NCS. We tackle this problem by proposing and demonstrating NCSbench: the first open-source reproducible benchmarking platform for NCS. NCSbench enables the benchmarking of research experiments using a networked two-wheeled inverted pendulum robot. For each benchmarking experiment, a set of values is measured and used to quantify the key performance indicators (KPIs) of the NCS. In our demonstration, we visualize in real-time the evolution of the benchmarking KPIs on a web-based Graphical User Interface.","PeriodicalId":443862,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 17th Annual Consumer Communications & Networking Conference (CCNC)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122083648","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}

Surveillance systems using cameras with fixed locations always suffer the blind spots due to the blockage or inappropriate deployments. Instead, by using the drones equipped with cameras, the surveillance performance can be drastically improved due to their high mobilities. The video quality is also a key factor of the surveillance performance. In face recognition, one of the most important surveillance applications, the uncompressed video can greatly improve the detection accuracy, but it is difficult to transmit uncompressed video in real time due to the huge data sizes. To address the issue, we propose to use the ultra-high speed mmWave communication for the video transmission from drones. Moreover, due to the limited battery energy and computing power in drones, we introduce the edge computing and propose to offload all the computation from the drones to the ground station. In addition, a proof-of-concept prototype hardware of the proposed uncompressed 4K video transmission system from drones through mmWave is developed, and the experiments results are consistent with the system design expectations.","PeriodicalId":443862,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 17th Annual Consumer Communications & Networking Conference (CCNC)","volume":"340 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133491686","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}

Herein, a primary satellite source communicates with its terrestrial user by utilizing both direct and relay links, using an amplify-and-forward based cooperative communication technique. Considering distortion noises in relay signal processing, we obtain new closed-form expressions for the outage probability of primary satellite network and secondary terrestrial network and explicitly derive the asymptotic outage behaviour for primary network by adopting pertinent heterogeneous fading models. Both primary and secondary networks satisfy their quality-of-service criteria for the low data rate requirements only.

To achieve load balancing among SDN controllers and low response time, we should dynamically assign controllers under the bandwidth constraint, so the bandwidth consumption is important. In this paper, we formulate the bandwidth consumption as mix integer linear programming model and figure out that it is NP-hard. Thus, we propose a two-phase algorithm to handle it. In the first phase, we use k-means clustering algorithm to avoid achieving local minimum and try to maximize isolating failure effect. In the second phase, we use the output of first phase as initial assignment and utilize coalitional game to further improve the result.
