We show mobile vehicles that are coordinated precisely through an intersection, controlled by a central entity located in an edge cloud. In order to ensure seamless operation, the connection to the controller needs to be ultra-reliable and with low latency, otherwise the mobile vehicles may crash. To enable this we use a WiFi network as well as a Non Public Network (NPN) of the 5th Generation of cellular mobile communications (5G) network in parallel to increase robustness against delays and losses on each individual link.

Through virtualization, these devices exchange knowledge in the Cloud, bridging physical and virtual worlds. However, the rapid growth in connected objects and data production necessitates innovative system designs. While virtualization offers scalability and flexibility, it proves insufficient alone. Recent studies recommend integrating social network concepts into IoT, forming the Social Internet of Things (SIoT). SIoT, mirroring human social networks, enhances smart devices with relational capabilities, addressing challenges in managing the surge in connected devices. This paper introduces the “Virtual User” concept-an autonomous entity streamlining user-device interactions in the digital realm. The research proposes, elucidates, and evaluates a Cloud infrastructure integrating the Virtual User into the SIoT paradigm. This novel approach offers a modular, extendable, and secure communication platform, marking the first Cloud solution tailored for the Virtual User concept, leveraging SIoT virtualization through containerization and automated service setup processes.","PeriodicalId":518411,"journal":{"name":"2024 IEEE 21st Consumer Communications & Networking Conference (CCNC)","volume":"15 1","pages":"376-379"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140531792","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}

For this purpose, fingerprinting-based solutions arise as a feasible solution, especially when integrating artificial intelligence on the edge, supported by computational and memory-restricted embedded devices, as it does not depend on a cloud-based deployment. In this work, we integrate this new paradigm, known as TinyML, and compare the implementation of a machine learning (ML) model when using only WiFi Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) or WiFi Channel State Information (CSI) data. We tested two different scenarios, a single sample or time series, with different configurations of the trained neural network. Our results show that a CSI data ML model always outperforms an equivalent RSSI approach, with a massive difference in performance for the time-series case.","PeriodicalId":518411,"journal":{"name":"2024 IEEE 21st Consumer Communications & Networking Conference (CCNC)","volume":"64 8","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140531827","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, there are two challenges when communicating using TCP congestion control algorithms (CCAs) over the TDD link: TDD-induced ACK-waiting time and misestimating congestion states due to deterministic delay variation caused by TDD scheduling. In this paper, we propose a TDD-aware TCP pacing method for improving TCP throughput by pacing the sending time between two consecutive segments within the ACK-waiting time. We determine the pacing rate on the basis of the TDD-induced delay variation for sending TCP segments within allocated TDD slots while reducing round-trip time (RTT). We evaluate the performance of our method by using a network simulator (ns-3). TCP pacing improves throughput by about 10–70% compared with when there is no pacing, especially for TCP Illinois. We also verify that our TDD-aware pacing improves throughput by about 10% compared to the default pacing rate on the Linux kernel.","PeriodicalId":518411,"journal":{"name":"2024 IEEE 21st Consumer Communications & Networking Conference (CCNC)","volume":"71 7","pages":"863-868"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140531838","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}

Although this opens up exciting scenarios for users, it has also been studied since it encompasses several potential privacy issues, which range from the re-identification of the user to the discovery of habits and routines. In this work, we present a study on the tradeoff between the information quality obtained from an LBS and the location precision sent by the user.

Thus, there is a need for innovative solutions that not only improve water utilization but also raise residents' awareness about this issue. This paper presents a promising solution leveraging the Internet of Things (IoT) and Machine Learning (ML) techniques to detect water wastage stemming from sink usage automatically. We have designed and developed a low-cost prototype equipped with an array of sensors, including a microphone, an ultrasonic sensor, and a PIR, to monitor sink usage. A deep learning model based on Gated Recurrent Units (GRU) has been trained to classify the wastage events. To validate our concept, we have gathered a small dataset relative to nine common daily water usage activities through the IoT prototype. Our preliminary findings demonstrate the feasibility of our solution, with an average accuracy exceeding 90% in detecting wastage events.","PeriodicalId":518411,"journal":{"name":"2024 IEEE 21st Consumer Communications & Networking Conference (CCNC)","volume":"68 10","pages":"372-375"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140531931","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}
