Flooding of route requests or link states is a necessity in many routing protocols for mobile ad hoc networks (MANET), and several mechanisms have been devised to make flooding more efficient; however, all flooding approaches to date are such that the number of neighbors each node must use to relay a flooded packet grows as the node density increases. A new method, called ORCA (On-demand Routing with Coordinates Awareness) is introduced for the dissemination of route requests in MANETs. The selection of relaying nodes at each node in ORCA is done by computing the shortest Euclidean Distance from all neighbors of the node to four polar points located in the transmission range of the node. We prove that ORCA guarantees the coverage of all nodes in a connected MANET, and that the number of relays for each node is at most six. ORCA is compared with representative routing protocols, namely AODV, OLSR, LAR, and THP. The simulation results in networks of 200 and 250 nodes show that ORCA incurs the smallest routing load while attaining average delays and packet delivery ratios that are comparable to or better than those obtained with the other four routing protocols.

Provision of instantaneous, mobile and dependable media communications in military and disaster scenarios must overcome certain wireless network issues: lack of reliable existing infrastructure, immutability of safety-certified protocols and layer-2 dynamics with contributing factors including hidden transmitters and fading channels. This extended abstract investigates a cross-layer methodology to provide timely MANET communications through optimal channel selection and dynamic contention reduction, without protocol modification. This is done using ROAM: a new Real-time Optimised Ad hoc Middleware based architecture that has been implemented and validated in the ns2-MIRACLE simulator.

This paper describes a framework that allows fine-grained and flexible access control to connected devices with very limited processing power and memory. We propose a set of security and performance requirements for this setting and derive an authorization framework distributing processing costs between constrained devices and less constrained back-end servers while keeping message exchanges with the constrained devices at a minimum. As a proof of concept we present performance results from a prototype implementing the device part of the framework.

Channel switching in HSPA networks is used to reduce the channel occupancy when there is no data transfer for the given user, this way reducing battery consumption. This paper is the first dealing with another important aspect that is the CPU load on the radio network controller (RNC) caused by channel switching. This is an optimization task, in which both the channel switching and staying on the high-bandwidth channel have costs. In this paper we propose a system to minimize the costs by applying a predictor based method which uses time slice based features in order to reduce the high variance in the feature values. The proposed system is evaluated and compared to other state-of-the-art methods.

Wireless network deployments are becoming increasingly complex in order to cope with the exponential growth in mobile data traffic. Multi-tier technologies capable of supporting spatially dense networks enable high data rates, but require timely and accurate models of the radio environment, particularly for scenarios that incorporate dynamic access to spectrum. However, network planners, algorithm designers, and policy makers are often forced to rely on a small set of radio propagation scenarios, often assuming fixed receiver antenna heights (RAHs). In this paper we show that the RAH in fact plays a key role not only in terms of reception quality but also in determining the interference originating from other transmitters. Our extensive simulation studies show a large variability in key performance metrics of realistic wireless network topologies as RAH is varied, which are not captured through the current practice of selecting few effectively two-dimensional scenarios and drawing general conclusions from them. These results underline the importance of adopting more realistic assumptions on RAH for design, assessment, and policy making for wireless communication systems, and the need for new propagation models valid for a wider range of RAH values than models currently in use.

Scalable Video Coding (SVC) in media streaming enables dynamic adaptation based on device capabilities and network conditions. In this paper, we investigate deployment options of SVC for Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (DASH) with a special focus on scalability options, which are relevant for dynamic adaptation, especially in wireless and mobile environments. We evaluate the performance of SVC with respect to spatial and quality scalability options and compare it to non-scalable Advanced Video Coding (AVC). Performance evaluations are performed for various encoder implementations with high-definition (1080p) content. We show that a hybrid approach with multiple independent SVC bitstreams can have advantages in storage requirements at comparable rate-distortion performance.

Demand for real-time video in law enforcement, emergency and first responder situations has been in rapid growth. Further, different users will have different requirements which, depending on their needs, may change over time. At some times, a user may require high frame rate to detect motion, while at other times the user may be more concerned with resolution for object recognition. In this paper we describe our model for quantifying Quality of Experience (QoE) and managing Quality of Service (QoS) that incorporates end user or mission needs. We describe our distributed utility-based QoS optimization technique, D-Q-RAM and show how it can be used to make QoS trade-offs in response to mission needs to maximize QoE. We experimentally demonstrate QoS optimized trade-offs as user preferences shift between resolution and frame rate in a live 802.11 ad hoc wireless network. The results show the ability to meet all individual user needs, changing or not, while minimizing the impact on other users.

In 2007, our planet became predominantly urban as for the first time, more than half of the world's population was living in cities. This tendency for urbanization is characterized by urban sprawl phenomena and excessive environmental pollution degrading citizens' living standards. Although intelligent and safe urban planning and management is a challenging task, latest ICT advances can offer promising solutions to the aforementioned problem by providing efficient and effective ways for handling large amounts of unstandardized and distributed information. In this paper we present an integrated, fully automatic ICT solution for acquiring, processing and representing heterogeneous, unstandardized and distributed information about underground gas pipeline networks, in order to provide a safe way for urban growth.

Numerous solutions have been proposed to improve the efficiency of wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Data aggregation, which reduces the data redundancy so as to mitigate energy consumption, is one of desirable solutions. One common feature of geographically close-by data known as spatial correlation, has been utilized for eliminating redundant information. To reduce redundancy and enhance eventual performance, we explore the possibility of combining sensing data with similar characteristics without considering spatial information.We define this relationship of data as characteristic correlation and propose an automatic procedure to discover characteristic correlation between sensor nodes (SNs) with limited overheads. Furthermore, we introduce a novel characteristic correlation based data aggregation approach that allows any SN to compress unlimited number of packets into virtual packets up to a constant number. With experimental and simulation results, our proposed approach is illustrated as an effective data aggregation method in term of data accuracy.

The two main drawbacks of receiver-initiated Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are that i) they require all nodes to send a beacon each time they wake up, and that ii) broadcast traffic is not efficiently supported. In this work, we propose addressing these limitations by extending receiver-initiated MAC protocols with scheduling, i.e, coordinating sensor nodes to wake up at nearly the same instant. Following this approach, only one sensor node in the neighborhood sends a beacon per wake-up period and, as all nodes are awake at the same time, broadcast transmissions are naturally supported. A distributed learning technique is used to establish the order of beacon transmissions. We present the protocol description and the time to convergence when a fully connected network is considered.
