While it is true that the fifth generation of mobile technologies (5G) is already in place, addressing some of the mentioned needs, the upcoming the sixth generation of mobile technologies (6G) communication network is positioned as a technology to address future requirements, with a particular emphasis in the field of IoT. 6G harnesses the Software-Defined Networking (SDN) technology as a pivotal component of its architecture due to the flexibility and programmability it offers to enhance performance and optimize the network’s backbone. However, the SDN paradigm has drawbacks in IoT environments, such as the connectivity scheme between each network node and the SDN controller. This paper introduces the implementation of a scalable SDN in-band control protocol, which leverages the data network for control information transmission, particularly suitable for IoT networks.

Using the Vehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANETs), these vehicles effectively exchange this information. However, the issue lies in the quality of data transmission and reception. In another way, Enhancing Routing Services (ERS) improves the rate of data transmission and reception in VANETs. Our goal is to enhance routing services in VANETs based on the proactive Optimized Link State Routing (OLSR) protocol. This protocol relies on the concept of MultiPoint Relays (MPR) for neighbor selection and an intelligent algorithm for determining the shortest path between source and destination vehicles. Our idea consists of enhancing the MPR selection algorithm by increasing the maximum number of hops to three. We conducted simulations using the Simulation of Urban Mobility (SUMO) and the Network Simulator (NS3). The simulation results demonstrate favorable outcomes for the modified OLSR in various scenarios. We evaluated a set of metrics such as End-To-End Delay (E2ED), Packet Loss Rate (PLR), Overhead, and ERS.","PeriodicalId":505542,"journal":{"name":"2023 6th International Conference on Advanced Communication Technologies and Networking (CommNet)","volume":"51 6","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139184302","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}

Considering a two-hop full-duplex (FD) relaying scheme, we first propose a scheme where the BS performs zero-forcing (ZF) precoding based on the end-to-end channel response. In this case, the relay normalizes, amplifies, and forwards the signals to the indoor users. Second, we assume that the BS performs a precoding based on the first hop channel response only. The relay, in this second scheme, normalizes, precodes (using the second hop channel response), amplifies, and forwards the signals. The transmission in both schemes is enabled by massive multiple-input multiple-output (mMIMO). We derive the expressions of the average signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for each scenario, and quantity the asymptotic SNR. Outage probability, for which we derive closed-form expressions, in addition to capacity, and energy-efficiency, are used to evaluate the two scenarios, and Monte Carlo simulation results are added to assess the accuracy of our analysis. Finally, the two schemes are compared taking into consideration the precoding complexity, the number of antennas, as well as the number of users.
