So far, however, the understanding of how M-MIMO could affect the performance of network control and optimization algorithms remains rather limited. In this paper, we focus on analyzing the performance of the queue-length-based joint congestion control and scheduling framework (QCS) over M-MIMO cellular networks with limited channel state information (CSI). Our contributions in this paper are two-fold: i) We characterize the scaling performance of the queue-lengths and show that there exists a phase transitioning phenomenon in the steady-state queue-length deviation respect to the CSI quality (reflected in the number of bits B that represent CSI); and ii) We characterize the congestion control rate scaling performance and show that there also exists a phase transitioning phenomenon in steady-state congestion control rate deviation respect to the CSI quality. Collectively, the findings in this paper advance our understanding of the trade-offs between delay, throughput, and the accuracy/complexity of CSI acquisition in M-MIMO cellular network systems.","PeriodicalId":445286,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 17th ACM International Symposium on Mobile Ad Hoc Networking and Computing","volume":"124 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134278075","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, disclosure of one's true value causes numerous security vulnerabilities. Moreover, as a distinguished property of spectrum auction compared to classical auctions, spectrum reutilisation requires that the bidder locations be disclosed to the auctioneer to run the auction. We investigate the impact of disclosing bidder locations and demonstrate that such disclosure can be exploited by a malicious auctioneer to gain extra profit and significantly degrade bidders' utility. We then design a provably secure spectrum auction framework that does not leak any information on either bids or bidder locations other than the auction outcome. Technically, we leverage tools in garbled circuits and secret sharing, and design data-oblivious algorithms where the execution path does not depend on the input. We further implement our solution and theoretically and experimentally show that it incurs only limited computation and communication overhead.","PeriodicalId":445286,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 17th ACM International Symposium on Mobile Ad Hoc Networking and Computing","volume":"96 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127084737","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}

Field measurements of plant parameters, like the leaf area index (LAI), serve as a crucial basis to validate parameter maps derived from satellite images. Traditionally, in-situ LAI measurements are collected manually. Therefore, the assessment is cost-intensive and the temporal availability of measurements is limited. Measurements provided by small sensor devices organized in a wireless sensor network (WSN) are a low-cost alternative to manual field measurements. They allow a precise LAI determination with high temporal resolution at many different locations in a field or even an entire region.

In the current centralized DSA designs, the operation data of both government IUs and commercial SUs needs to be shared with a central server. However, the operation data of government IUs is often classified information and the SU operation data may also be commercial secret. The current system design dissatisfies the privacy requirement of both IUs and SUs since the central server is not necessarily trust-worthy for holding such sensitive operation data. To address the privacy issue, this paper presents a privacy-preserving centralized DSA system (P2-SAS), which realizes the complex spectrum allocation process of DSA through efficient secure multi-party computation. In P2-SAS, none of the IU or SU operation data would be exposed to any snooping party, including the central server itself. We formally prove the correctness and privacy-preserving property of P2-SAS and evaluate its scalability and practicality using experiments based on real-world data. Experiment results show that P2-SAS can respond an SU's spectrum request in 6.96 seconds with communication overhead of less than 4 MB.","PeriodicalId":445286,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 17th ACM International Symposium on Mobile Ad Hoc Networking and Computing","volume":"97 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115589374","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 consider core problem where a set of LTE-U cells from different operators share the same channel as a co-located WiFi access point (AP). We assume that LTE-U cells utilize Listen-Before-Talk (LBT) as the default channel access mechanism. Principally, we deal with the following question: how should an operator's LTE-U cell adjust its contention window in order to provide a fair coexistence both with WiFi and co-located LTE-U cells of other operators? We consider that LTE-U cells behave altruistically both among themselves and to WiFi. Cooperation of LTE-U cells is studied using a coalition formation game framework which is based on the well-known Shapley value. We define a payoff configuration scheme in the coalition game which involves altruism. We prove that the coalitional game is always zero-monotonic, and Shapley value is also max-min fair. We compare airtime sharing performance of Shapley value with weighted proportional fairness via numerical results and show that Shapley value provides much better fairness than proportional fairness as determined by entropy and Jain's index metrics while having roughly equal average airtime.","PeriodicalId":445286,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 17th ACM International Symposium on Mobile Ad Hoc Networking and Computing","volume":"170 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129934765","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}

Most of existing full-duplex relay designs, however, simply forward an amplified version of the received signal without decoding it, and, thereby, also amplify the noise at the relay, offsetting throughput gains of full-duplex relaying. To overcome this issue, we explore an alternative: demodulate-and-forward. This paper presents the design and implementation of DelayForward (DF), a practical system that fully extracts the relay gains of full-duplex demodulate-and-forward mechanism. DF allows a relay to remove its noise from the signal it receives via demodulation and forward the clean signal to destination with a small delay. While such delay-and-forward mechanism avoids forwarding the noise at the relay, the half-duplex destination, however, now receives the combination of the direct signal from a source and the delayed signal from a relay. Unlike previous theoretical work, which mainly focuses on deriving the capacity of demodulate-and-forward relaying, we observe that such combined signals have a structure similar to the convolutional code, and, hence, propose a novel viterbi-type decoder to recover data from those combined signals in practice. Another challenge is that the performance of full-duplex relay is inherently bounded by the minimum of the relay's SNR and the destination's SNR. To break this limitation, we further develop a power allocation scheme to optimize the capacity of DF. We have built a prototype of DF using USRP software radios. Experimental results show that our power-adaptive DF delivers the throughput gain of 1.25×, on average, over the state-of-the-art full-duplex relay design. The gain is as high as 2.03× for the more challenged clients.","PeriodicalId":445286,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 17th ACM International Symposium on Mobile Ad Hoc Networking and Computing","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125790728","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}

Through a large scale measurement study involving over 10,000 WiFi APs we show that channel measurements and selection are most effective when performed frequently (every few minutes). This is because of the highly dynamic nature of WiFi traffic congestion. Our key contribution in this paper is a novel approach to distributed channel selection -- Ineffective time Quantum (IQ) Hopping, that is simple enough to be described in three lines and has provable optimality guarantees. IQ-Hopping does not require any explicit channel measurements and can react within a matter of several seconds to bad channel conditions, including microwave ovens, hidden interferers, or dynamically varying congestion. Through implementation and experiments on off-the-shelf WiFi routers (OpenWRT, MadWiFi), we demonstrate the effectiveness of IQ-Hopping.","PeriodicalId":445286,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 17th ACM International Symposium on Mobile Ad Hoc Networking and Computing","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114698227","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}
