In this paper, the computation offloading problem for the hierarchical fog-cloud computing (FCC) system with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is studied. The hierarchical FCC, which exploits both centralized and distributed computing architectures, is very promising to support computation offloading in emerging computation-demanding mobile applications. In our design, UAVs integrating computing platforms act as small distributed clouds while the macro base station (BS) integrates a more powerful central cloud server. Furthermore, the multiple input multiple output (MIMO) technology is employed for data communication. We assume that mobile users (UEs) and (UAVs) can change their locations over time and we consider the joint task offloading, user-cloud/cloudlet association, transmit power allocation, and path planning to minimize the total weighted consumed power of the system. To tackle the underlying non-convex mixed integer non-linear program (MINLP), we propose an iterative two-phase algorithm. Specifically, we iteratively solve the user-cloud/cloudlet association problem in the first phase and address the joint resource allocation, path planning problem in the second phase. Furthermore, we employ the difference of convex (DC) optimization method in the second phase to approximate the non-convex bilinear functions and propose to transform the non-convex INLP to the integer linear program (ILP) in the first phase. Numerical studies confirm that the proposed design for the FCC architecture achieves great performance benefits for executing mobile computation tasks.

In this paper, a new architecture of a multi-mode Fast Fourier Transform hardware for IEEE 802.11ax WLAN standard is presented. The proposed architecture is based on Radix-2 Multipath Delay Commutator (MDC), Radix-22 and Radix 24 Single-path Delay Feedback(SDF) stages. To optimize the throughput and area of the FFT hardware, we applied two design techniques such as compression of redundant twiddle factors, and optimization of twiddle factor multiplication. In FPGA implementation using Altera Stratix IV EP4SGX530KH40C3, the proposed FFT achieved 1.2 GSamples/s throughput and met the requirements of the 802.11ax standard. The synthesis results show that the proposed circuit is 6.19% lower latency and 30.2% lower area compared to a recently presented work while maintaining higher working frequency.

The information of an image is characterized not only by the intensity of individual pixels, but also by the correlation of intensity among pixels in the surrounding area. Recently, the complex network has become an interest topic of research in many fields including the image processing. This paper presents an approach of image analysis using the complex network. In particular, a complex network is constructed and analyzed using the data of images, i.e. entropy, intensity, and position (EIP). In the EIP method, the input image is divided into equal-sized square windows; each window is considered as a node of the complex network. Links among adjacent nodes are determined based on comparing the difference in average intensity and entropy of neighboring windows with some thresholds. The created network is analyzed using common measures of complex network.

With the increasing number of devices, protocols and applications, today’s networks are becoming more and more complex. Hence, Software-defined Networking (SDN) tries to address this issue by separating the data from the control plane and by providing centralized interfaces for network configuration. As legacy devices cannot be replaced instantly due to high costs, both network segments have to be operated in coexistence with defined joints at their edges. To ensure a smooth operation, both controlling instances of these segments are required to exchange information. In this work, we design and implement a data model for storing the information needed to keep the controller and a Network Management System (NMS) synchronized, which are responsible for configuring the SDN-enabled network and the legacy devices respectively. For this, we implement and evaluate a total of three different synchronization strategies by the example of an SDN-based Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) use case.

Control Moment Gyroscope (CMG) is used extensively in many mechanical balancing systems because of its power-efficient operation. This study aims to explore the balancing capability of CMG when using the Linear–Quadratic–Gaussian (LQG) regulator. A two rigid body model physical system including a CMG and a single degree of freedom balancing object is modeled. LQG-based balancing control system with Kalman filter for estimating the state of the balancing object is developed. Simulation results show that the LQG regulator achieves better performance than the conventional PID one in terms of reaction time, noise and weight. An experimental setup shows that the CMG is able to balance a heavy system with a small tilt angle. The system can even keep balance when an external force is applied thanks to the counter torque provided by the CMG.

Network function virtualization is reshaping the 5G mobile core network which is monolithic and hardware-based design into cloud-based and service-based design. In 5G mobile core network, core network functions are redesigned as virtual network functions which are classified as state management functions and stateless control and data plane functions. In such new 5G network architecture, the stateless control and data plane functions can be scalable and placed near all radio access networks. However, the placement problem of state management functions which involve more design objectives is more complicated to tackle. In this paper, we formulate a multi-objective optimization problem which takes into account the state transfer frequency and network latency as key design objectives. We propose three solutions to this problem and evaluate our solutions by changing network environment parameters.

Testing new applications and network protocols in IoT systems is a challenging and time-consuming task. As a result of this, a significant number of testbed platforms have been built in recent few decades. In this paper, we present our work-in-progress IoTs testbed, namely UiTiOt, which is a Container-based testbed for wireless/IoTs networks. In contrast to many existing testbeds using real devices, we use emulation-based approach to achieve the cost-effective objectives. QOMET – a well-known network emulation tool, is deployed as a key-point component in our system to imitate the wireless IoTs communication behaviors in a wired network, in real time. Our research aims to build a testbed with large-scalability, easy-to-use, high reliability as well as the flexibility in the deployment of multiples experimental scenarios at a reasonable cost. Taking advance of cloud computing technology, our testbed deployed the experimental nodes on the OpenStack infrastructure at the University of Information Technology (UiT) to exploit the advantage ‘pay-as-you-go’ of cloud computing. In addition, Container which is a state-of-the-art virtualization platform has also been using in UiTiOt to resolve the problem of scalability. In order to show up the performance and the reliability of our testbed, several experiments were carried out and discussed in this paper.

A light field image describes a sampling of the intensity and direction of the light rays in space. The recent technological advances in light field camera devices are fostering the development of novel imaging application. Some of the main applications are post-processing for interactive image perspective change, image refocusing, point cloud reconstruction, and image segmentation. The problem of light field data compression is a current research topic for international standardization bodies, industries, and research institutes. This paper explores the problem of compression with respect to light field image refocusing application. The main contribution of this paper is an analysis of the performance of high-efficiency video coding in terms of peak signal to noise ratio and structural-similarity index metric versus compression ratio. The experimental analysis has been performed on a reference dataset currently used for the standardization activities of ISO/IEC JPEG Pleno and shows the tradeoff between compression and objective quality at different quantization parameters.
