Nowadays the Internet infrastructure enables the transfer of massive amounts of large data sets throughout the Web. Over this infrastructure, the risks of infringement of the owner's rights and the incapability to defend their data from attacks are important. There are several demands for novel and smart watermarking schemes to save those rights from an illegal copying of the digital products. The Digital watermarking is a technology used to protect the copyrights of the digital media. Image watermarking scheme is used to limit the chances of piracy. Various approaches were proposed to be used with an image watermarking scheme, such as wavelet transforms, principle component analysis and singular value decomposition. In this work, the proposed watermarking scheme is based on the Daubechies family wavelets, Daubechies-5 and Daubechies-7 wavelet transform. This wavelet family approach is highly robust against various types of attacks, prohibiting the piracy and authentication of the digital data. The experimental results depict that this proposed scheme allows protection at a higher level compared with other existing frameworks and schemes.

Network slicing is a key feature of forthcoming 5G systems to facilitate the partitioning of the network into multiple logical networks customised according to different operation and application needs. Network slicing allows the materialisation of multi-tenant networks, in which the same infrastructure is shared among multiple communication providers, each one using a different slice. The support of multi-tenancy through slicing in the Radio Access Network (RAN) is particularly challenging because it involves the configuration and operation of multiple and diverse RAN behaviour over a common pool of radio resources while guaranteeing a certain Quality of Service (QoS) and isolation to each of the slices. This paper presents a Markovian approach to model different QoS aware Admission Control (AC) policies in a multi-tenant scenario with Guaranteed Bit Rate (GBR) services. From the analytical model, different metrics are defined to later analyse the effect of AC mechanisms on the performance achieved in various scenarios. Results show the impact of priorities for services of different tenants and isolation between tenants when different AC polices are adopted.

This paper describes the pathway towards the realisation of a 5G Facility that will allow the validation of the major 5G Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). It reflects the approach that the 5GENESIS consortium will adopt in this direction. More precisely, it describes the key design principles of such Facility as well as the targeted use cases for the KPIs validation. The adopted approach for the Facility realisation includes the design of a common implementation blueprint that will be instantiated in five Platforms distributed across Europe. To maximise the diversity and the efficiency of the Facility, complementary performance objectives have been selected for the Platforms, while specific characteristics from different vertical industries have been allocated to each of them.

In this paper we investigate the impact of line-of-sight Los condition in the ergodic spectral efficiency of cellular networks. To achieve this goal, we have considered the κ-μ shadowed model, which is a general model that provides an excellent fit to a wide set of propagation conditions. To overcome the mathematical complexity of the analysis, we have split the analysis between large and small-scale effects. Building on the proposed framework, we study a number of scenarios that range from heavily-fluctuating LoS to deterministic-LoS. Finally, we shed light on the interplay between fading severity and spectral efficiency by means of the amount of fading.

Machine-To-Machine (M2M) traffic is expected to significantly increase in future wireless networks. In order to study the effect of this type of traffic in current and future networks, there is the need for efficient and effective traffic models. The literature offers different models, but there is not general consensus on which of them can better represent realistic M2M traffic sources. In this paper, we contribute to shed light on this aspect in two ways: first, we analyze some real-world data traces, provided by one of the biggest M2M operators in Europe, to have a better idea of the characteristics of realistic traffic patterns; second, we compare the capabilities of three popular and flexible M2M source models proposed in the literature to reproduce the empirical data patterns, and we suggest some possible improvements. The analysis reveals that the traffic patterns generated by the considered M2M services have strong deterministic components, which require to increase the determinism of the source models to improve their accuracy.

5G-PHOS R &D project aims at architecting and evaluating 5G broadband networks for dense, ultra-dense and hotspot area use cases by capitalizing on existing wireless and optical technologies, while migrating from CPRI -based towards integrated Fiber-Wireless (FiWi) fronthaul/backhaul supporting mmWave mMIMO communications. This paper provides a revolutionary approach for the definition of the 5G-PHOS use cases by developing realistic usage/traffic scenarios for a real geographical area with known characteristics, taking into account specific 5G services mix. In addition, the paper presents network solutions to support the 5G-PHOS use cases.

Peer to Peer (P2P) systems, have been identified as one of the main contributors to the exponential growth of internet traffic. File sharing applications such as BitTorrent clients, are the most popular among P2P systems and tend to consume great amounts of network resources, stretching infrastructure capabilities to their limits. This causes interdomain links to be overloaded with traffic, created from content traversing the network, which is most of the times redundant. Cloud computing has been an empowering force towards alleviating this issue and many research approaches have been proposed. With cloud orchestration frameworks and Software Defined Networks (SDN) as our empowering technologies, we propose a cross-layered edge-caching mechanism to alleviate content and service providers of link-saturation problems, caused by identical content requested and downloaded by multiple users in the same network vicinity. The proposed mechanism identifies and classifies P2P data-in-transit, caches it locally and successively acts as a peer by sharing it with all other requesting users. This way, redundant traffic in the backhaul link is minimized, since requests for content cached by the mechanism, will be served by the target edge-node and not from the content provider. To validate the performance and overall efficacy of the proposed mechanism, simulation experiments were conducted under a controlled-conditions environment. Results indicated that the proposed mechanism can reduce redundant network traffic up to 22%.

The mobile Apps market is flourishing and will become an important part of the 5G business model. Ensuring the proper functioning of 5G Apps and services is then paramount and a homogenous testing and certification scheme can help achieve it. Building on the experience on 4G and App testing methodologies, the TRIANGLE project is pursuing the creation of such a 5G certification scheme, together with the development of a testing platform that can make such scheme feasible and practical. In the present paper the initial investigation on the definition of the certification scheme, together with the impact on practical measurement is presented. The YouTube API and ExoPlayer will be used as use cases for extracting a sets of Key Performance Indicators for comparison.

Smart Grid is a promising new paradigm for the next generation power grid that aims at a more efficient generation, transformation, distribution and consumption of electricity and at the integration of the new renewable energies in the equation. For its development, extraordinary two-way communication and great sensorization are required and at this point emerges the wireless sensor networks with energy harvesting technologies. In this article, we present an innovative technique for energy harvesting in the area of smart grid at the wireless sensor nodes through radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic waves: RF energy harvesting, making them energetically autonomous. Several specific use-cases and applications are proposed where nodes with RF energy harvesting have advantages respect batteries, wires or other methods. A general node hardware structure for their development and a special wireless communication protocol for energy optimization in this kind of nodes are proposed as well.
