The main purpose of this paper is to identify and study a variety of strategies that effectively reduce the end-to-end latency in both 4G and 5G networks. This latency reduction will allow operators to provide URLLC services to users, such as: remote surgeries, Intelligent Transport Systems and factory automation services. To verify if those services can be implemented using 4G and 5G systems, the developed model considers several variables: the MEC node deployment option, the functionality splitting options, the radio techniques and the network architectures. The MEC technology appears in the paper as the solution that allows the end-to-end latency values to reach values below 1 ms, which are required for some of the URLLC services. The results obtained show that the 4G system does not have enough capacity to allow the existence of the upcoming services. Even with the MEC node deployment that minimises the latency, the LTE network is not able to provide the URLLC services under study. The simulations show that using the adequate latency reduction strategies and radio techniques, the 5G system has enough capacity and sufficiently low latencies to provide the upcoming services.

Metasurfaces, which can create phase jumps to control the reflection and refraction of light, are the updated versions of metamaterials for optical frequencies. Snell's law follows the surface phase distribution anomalously which constituted achievements decade ago that were highly significant by means of wavefront manipulation. One of these achievements was real holography which has been accomplished several times by the usage of metasurfaces. They can even be controlled digitally to create dynamic holographic images floating in the air. The applications involving metasurface holography up until today using anomalous reflection and refraction to focus wave fronts and create images suffer from relatively small image and focal length. Alternatively, Fresnel zone plates (FZPs) are known to focus light can be used to focus individual pixels which would only require a binary information. So that they can be adopted to construct 3D digital images by located individual pixels and/or voxels in air. Unfortunately, for the focusing effect to take place, Fresnel zone sizes should be at micron scale which also constitutes a micron scale focusing. Luckily, the focus length can be extended by sophisticated electric field excitations and once a single, bilayer or multilayer graphene sheets are used as the inclusions, tuning quality may improve. Therefore, if an array of these is used to construct a metasurface, the collective response may provide better focusing characteristics. As an ongoing study, we propose a topological idea for a tunable metasurface with inclusion which we called as Fresnel zone resonators (FZRs) - even if they do not actually resonate - that implement FZP topology. At the end, an electronically controllable screen of the proposed FZR units is discussed by means of phase, scattering dynamics and possible manufacturing processes.

By exploiting the benefits of virtualization and cloud computing technologies, Network Function Virtualization enables networks to be more flexible, manageable, and scalable. Ultra-low latency applications in 5G, 6G and IoT demand very low latency and assured QoS. With limited network resources, network providers must develop an effective strategy to support ultra-low latency applications. We propose a novel Service Function Chaining algorithm in this paper with the goal of minimizing latency and optimizing physical resource allocation for ultra-low latency applications while having the minimum possible negative effects on other applications. We prioritize ultra-low latency traffic flows and enable them to optimize their provisioning paths by using reserved physical resources (bandwidth, CPU, and memory). We provide a mathematical model for the SFC embedding problem in the form of an Integer Linear Programming optimization model that takes QoS constraints into account (related to latency and consumption of links and servers). We present a heuristic algorithm for obtaining near-optimal solutions with the smallest possible optimality gap and execution time, allowing it to be applied to real-world network topologies. The performance evaluations show that our proposed algorithms effectively provide better results for ultra-low latency applications in terms of end-to-end delay (up to 20 percent), bandwidth utilization (up to 27 percent) and SFC acceptance rate (up to 10 percent) compared to the existing algorithms.

Human activity recognition and monitoring classify signals that are generated from various sensors based on the physical activities a person is performing during his/her daily life. This is useful if a human performs some postural transition activities such as sit-to-stand and stand-to-sit, which are hardly detected accurately by a single sensor. The aim of this study is to explore the possibilities of detecting daily postural transition activities through a novel wearable approach comprising of inertial measurement sensors (IMU) and visible light sensing (VLS) utilizing a single RGB photodiode in an unmodified lighting infrastructure. By employing a low-complex decision tree algorithm, the activity recognition can be achieved in a resourceful way. For enabling our approach to work precisely in changing environments, a K-means clustering algorithm is employed to adapt the parameters of both sit-to-stand and stand-to-sit transition detection. Our approach is validated with different scenarios; representing basic and daily life postural transition activities. The results showed that the approach was able to achieve the tasks accurately, which could not be the case if either IMU sensors or VLS is used alone.

Honeypots are one of the important mechanisms in cybersecurity; they represent resources that appear interesting to attackers - either computing resources or data - but are deployed with the sole purpose of studying the techniques and tools of the attackers themselves. As such they are an invaluable resource for detecting the attacks, tools, and for protecting the systems, and many novel domains of application exist. In this paper we present a metric for evaluating the attractiveness of new types of honeypots, that aims to strike a balance between attractiveness of the honeypot for attackers and the real-world popularity of the mimicked system, which is reflected in the usefulness of the collected data. The score is based on the vulnerability density, breach cost, effectiveness of countermeasures, the compliance index, and the size of the real-world install base of the application. A practical calculation is presented based on the proposed formula.

In this paper, preliminary research into Terahertz frequency-domain spectroscopy imaging is presented. Terahertz imaging is mainly based on broadband systems in reflection mode. Resolution is lower, but the data acquisition time is high. In the proposed method, a continuous wave system was utilized. The proposed imaging approach is a hybrid between raster imaging and full-frame imaging. Several overlapping full-frame images were acquired and processed using the proposed image reconstruction. The proposed image reconstruction consists of intensity, phase difference estimation, and Gauss spotlight filter. Experimental results show great promise for further development of the proposed Terahertz imaging approach.

This paper presents the implementation of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) in underwater optical wireless communication (UOWC). The OFDM signal is encoded with quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) and transmitted using a blue light emitting diode (LED) through a range of water conditions. The underwater link is initially characterised, then the effect of turbidity on the link performance is investigated. The error performance of QAM-OFDM transmission deteriorates as the turbidity increases. Finally, bit and power loading technique is applied to maximise the available data rate for the channel conditions.

Wrist-worn devices enable access to essential information and they are suitable for a wide range of applications, such as gesture and activity recognition. Wrist-worn devices require appropriate technologies when used in sensitive areas, overcoming vulnerabilities in regard to security and privacy. In this work, we propose an approach to recognize wrist rotation by utilizing Visible Light Communication (VLC) that is enabled by low-cost LEDs in an indoor environment. In this regard, we address the channel model of a VLC communicating wristband (VLCcw) in terms of the following factors. The directionality and the spectral composition of the light and the corresponding spectral sensitivity and the directional characteristics of the utilized photodiode (PD). We verify our VLCcw from the simulation environment by a small-scale experimental setup. Then, we analyze the system when white and RGBW LEDs are used. In addition, we optimized the VLCcw system by adding more receivers for the purpose of reducing the number of LEDs on VLCcw. Our results show that the proposed approach generates a feasible real-world simulation environment.
