Wireless sensor networks (WSN) are used in many fields such as industrial control, building automation, environmental monitoring, etc. IEEE 802.15.4 standard defines the features of MAC layer and physical layer for WSN. Many analytical models studied the performance of the multihop IEEE 802.15.4 networks under the assumption of ideal wireless channel, and they did not […]
In Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs), system performance degrades when some switching nodes and/or communication links fail to operate. As a result, the performability (performance reliability) assessment of MANETs is very important. However, because of the impact of dynamic topology, the traditional system performability analysis methods, such as Dynamic Fault Tree (DFT) and Dynamic Reliability […]
Lifetime optimization and security are two conflicting design issues for multi-hop wireless sensor networks (WSNs) with non-replenishable energy resources. In this paper, we first propose a novel secure and efficient Cost-Aware SEcure Routing (CASER) protocol to address these two conflicting issues through two adjustable parameters: energy balance control (EBC) and probabilistic-based random walking. We then […]
The Voice over IP (VoIP) service demands high priority over other services and applications. Some constrains are associated with this real-time service, such as delay and throughput which need to be addressed before delivering to the customer. The mobility in IP networks is a demand that facilitates IP applications and services, especially in wireless networks. […]
The evaluation of Cognitive Radio (CR) for Wireless Sensor and Actuator Networks (WSANs) in industrial wireless automation applications is presented in this contribution. Current wireless solutions do not ensure enough performance for hard real-time and reliability requirements, based on time-critical data traffic. These industrial applications are characterized by harsh environments, where the robustness of wireless […]
In recent years, the range of sensing technologies has expanded rapidly, whereas sensor devices have become cheaper. This has led to a rapid expansion in condition monitoring of systems, structures,vehicles, and machinery using sensors. Key factors are the recent advances in networking technologies such as wireless communication and mobile ad hoc networking coupled with the technology to […]
Software Defined Network (SDN) empowers network operators with more flexibility to program their networks. In SDN, dummy switches on the data plane dynamically forward packets based on the rules which are managed by a centralized controller. To apply the rules, switches need to write the rules in its flow table. However, because the size of the flow table […]
The integration of social networking concepts into Internet of Things systems is a burgeoning topic of research that promises to support novel and more powerful applications. In this paper we present the social approach that the COSMOS project introduces in order to achieve enhanced services like discovery, recommendation and sharing between Things enriched with social properties. We investigate how typical notions […]
In recent years, information-centric network (ICN) has attracted significant attention from both academia and industry. ICN is characterized by name-based routing, in-network caching and many other advanced network layer techniques. To get the benefit from these new network layer techniques, the network requires severe changes. However, considering the difficulty of deploying a new service on […]
Dramatic mobile data traffic growth has spurred a dense deployment of small cell base stations (SCBSs). Small cells enhance the spectrum efficiency and thus enlarge the capacity of mobile networks. Although SCBSs consume much less power than macro BSs (MBSs) do, the overall power consumption of a large number of SCBSs is phenomenal. As the energy harvesting technology advances, base stations (BSs) […]
