In this paper, we explore user-specific QoS requirements and associated schedulers that are very critical in optimizing the spectral allocation for wireless systems. Two user-specific QoS aware schedulers are proposed that considers the user-specific QoS requirements in the allocation of resources. Depending upon whether improving the MOS (Mean Opinion Score) or both the system capacity […]
Energy efficiency is one of the most critical issues in wireless sensor networks, since the sensor nodes are usually battery powered. These energy-constrained sensor nodes are usually densely distributed in indoor environments, which leads to spatially correlated sensor data and low network efficiency. Thus, one way to improve energy efficiency is to reduce the redundancy […]
In mobile social network, it is a critical challenge to select an optimal set of devices to supply high quality service constantly under dynamic network topology and the limit of device capacity in mobile ad-hoc network (MANET). In this paper, a multi-devices composition and maintenance problem is proposed with ubiquitous service model and network model. […]
In this paper, we consider IEEE 802.15.4 based wireless body area sensor networks(WBASN) in the healthcare environment. Connectivity is a critical constraint in the healthcare environment. In particular, disconnection from a sensor hub is a significant problem that leads to sensor node orphaning. To address this, we propose to use a sub hub designed to […]
In this paper, we present an interactive design tool that can assist rapid prototyping and deployment of wireless sensor networks for building automation systems. We argue that it is possible to design networks that are more resilient to failures and have longer lifetime if the behavior of routing algorithms (RAs) is taken into account at […]
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 […]
This paper develops a comprehensive simulation model for Avionics Full-duplex switched Ethernet (AFDX) network based on OPNET platform. Accordingly, the performance of AFDX networks is analyzed. The effect of frame size, switching delay and changing frames transmission order on the AFDX network performance are investigated. It is found that using faster switches and small frame size reduces […]
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. […]
IEEE802.11 based WLAN networks are considered to be the default broadband access network supporting a range of traffic sources. In this paper a dual parameter based cost function is proposed which can be used to determine the transmission data rate for a transmitting WLAN device in order to maximize the energy efficiency of an infrastructure […]
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 […]
