A cooperative ratio-based scheduling scheme with minimal signaling to enhance network throughput and fairness in wireless ad hoc network is presented in this paper. Throughput and fairness maximization problem in a finite horizon (short term) is formulated as a novel multi-window optimization problem. Through analysis users' thresholds are shown to be time variant to achieve throughput maximization with fairness in each window. Simulation results clearly show that compared with non decision-based strategy, ratio-based scheme achieves within 1.6 % of the maximum throughput value and is scalable in terms of the number of nodes. Fairness performance is marginally better than non decision-based strategy.

Gait analysis of human plays a significant role in maintaining the well-being of our mobility and healthcare, and it can be used for various e-healthcare systems for fast medical prognosis and diagnosis. In this paper we have developed a novel body sensor network based recognition system to identify the specific gait pattern of Parkinson's disease (PD). Firstly, a BSN with 16 nodes is used to acquire the gait information from the PD patients. Then, an algorithm is developed based on local linear embedding (LLE) to extract and recognize the gait features. Experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of proposed scheme. The results show that the proposed scheme has a recognition rate of about 95.57% for gait patterns of PD, which is higher than the conventional PCA feature extraction method. The proposed system can identify PD patients from normal people and by their gait map with high reliability and appears a promising aid in the diagnosis of the Parkinson's disease.

Formal modelling techniques have been used to verify zero-fault tolerant systems such as hardware chips, communication protocols. In this paper we present formal modelling and verification of a multiple UAV system cooperatively monitoring a harbour area. Kripke modelling formalism is used to formally model the decentralised surveillance strategy and the desired system properties are expressed in temporal logic statements. The Kripke model is then subjected to an algorithmic verification technique known as model checking and the validity of the temporal formulae on the model is verified.

The popularity of multimedia videos related to a wide range of news, which were emitted in three different Spanish local on-line newspapers, has been researched in this paper. The statistic distribution from which the popularity came from is unknown. In fact, throughout the literature, many papers have modeled popularity with different distributions, such as Mandelbrot, Stretched, Zipf-like and so on. In this paper, the Box-Cox transformation has been proposed as a unified approach that would cover all the former distributions. The main advantage is its non-parametric nature and in consequence the model selection might be avoided.

Currently, in the Telecom industry all over the world the move towards service oriented infrastructures based on IP, IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS), Service Oriented Architectures (SOA) and Service Delivery Platforms (SDP) can be observed and Communication Service Providers are opening parts of their core infrastructure and interfaces to third party developers. But there is a gap between application developer communities and the Telecom industry. The Telecom industry offers its services so developers can use them in their applications but developers don't have any incentives, tools or development environments that would help them to overcome the barriers of accessing the communication services in order to build converged distributed Internet-Telecommunication applications. This research work presents a concept for how to close this gap by evaluating the requirements of the different stakeholders and combining application store concepts (e.g. Apple AppStore, Google Market) with open telecommunication SDP architecture concepts. Outlined is a concept for Application Delivery Platforms (ADP) that extends the concept of SDPs by broadening the focus from re-usable services over application development and lifecycle management to end user applications on client platforms and devices.
目前,在世界各地的电信行业,可以观察到基于IP、IP多媒体子系统(IMS)、面向服务架构(SOA)和服务交付平台(SDP)的面向服务基础设施的发展趋势,通信服务提供商正在向第三方开发人员开放其部分核心基础设施和接口。但是在应用程序开发人员社区和电信行业之间存在着差距。电信行业提供服务,以便开发人员可以在其应用程序中使用这些服务,但开发人员没有任何激励措施、工具或开发环境来帮助他们克服访问通信服务的障碍,从而构建融合的分布式internet -电信应用程序。这项研究工作提出了一个如何通过评估不同利益相关者的需求并将应用程序商店概念(例如Apple AppStore, Google Market)与开放电信SDP架构概念相结合来缩小这一差距的概念。本文概述了应用程序交付平台(ADP)的概念,它扩展了sdp的概念,将重点从应用程序开发和生命周期管理上的可重用服务扩展到客户端平台和设备上的最终用户应用程序。

Cognitive radio technique enables unlicensed users to use the spectrum assigned to licensed users. Therefore, a highly accurate sensing technique to know the presence of licensed users is essential. For such a purpose, soft decision cooperative spectrum sensing techniques are proposed. In a soft decision cooperative spectrum sensing, the cognitive base station collects the received signal energy information from multiple users. Since the bandwidth of the control channel used for collecting the energy information is limited, it is necessary to quantize the received signal energy information in each user. In this paper, we propose a quantization scheme based on the probability of false alarm for the soft decision cooperative spectrum sensing. The quantization criterion is analytically derived, and the theoretical expression for the resultant probability of false alarm is presented with taking the quantization error into account.

We apply constrained optimization techniques to optimally allocate the bandwidth and power to the users in a cellular network. We investigate partial frequency reuse with multiple users in the full and partial frequency regions for inter-cell interference mitigation. We show that the non-convex sum-rate maximization problem becomes convex under certain simplifying assumptions. Moreover, an efficient algorithm is developed to solve the problem for a fixed bandwidth allocation. The optimal solution assigns all available power to the users. Finally, we prove that even without simplifications the non-convex problems of maximizing the minimum rate among users and minimizing the sum-power are transformable into convex forms.

Reducing the signaling overhead for tracing user equipment (UE), while maintaining the improved performance over time despite the changes in UE location and mobility patterns, is a challenging issue in the area of mobility management. Flexibility and automatic reconfiguration are two significant features in Long Term Evolution (LTE) systems. The Tracking Area List (TAL) is a novel concept in LTE systems, which allows a more flexible configurations, expecting to reduce the overall signaling overhead. In this paper, we first present a ”rule of thumb” method to allocate and assign TALs for a network. The easily applied approach does not require any data other than what is available for conventional TA design. Second we compare the performance of an optimum conventional TA design with the suggested TAL design for a large scale network in Lisbon, Portugal. A thorough computation is done to make a justified evaluation. We follow the comparison during specific time intervals for one complete day, and we illustrate the performance of reconfiguration for each approach. The results clearly demonstrate the ability of dynamic TAL in reducing the signaling overhead and maintaining a good performance due to reconfiguration compared to the conventional TA design.

The proliferation of large-scale P2P VoD overlays has created the demands to characterize and to understand the emergent properties of P2P VoD applications. In this paper, we investigate the P2P VoD overlay network by active measurements with the help of the developed software, VoDCrawler. Different from other existing work, our study focuses on the topology of the overlay networks. From the study, we have revealed the major features of the P2P VoD overlay networks and have compared them with that in P2P file sharing and live streaming systems. The discoveries we have obtained could help to further understand the operation of the P2P VoD systems and favor the commercial developments of the P2P VoD applications.

In this paper, we study the performance of Space Shift Keying (SSK) modulation applied to optical wireless channels. The optical Multiple-Input-Single-Output (MISO) channel used here is obtained through measurements. The experimental setup consists of two lasers and an optical receiver. Using the channel measurements, the performance of SSK is compared to the Single-Input-Single-Output (SISO) transmission case. We build upon a recent finding, obtained for a two-transmitter case, that power imbalance at the transmitters can enhance the performance of SSK, especially in highly correlated channels [1]. It is found in this paper that SSK applied to real optical wireless channels outperforms SISO and Single-Input-Multiple-Output (SIMO) transmission if more than four optical transmitters are used. Furthermore, we show that Space Shift Keying can also exceed Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output (MIMO) setups which apply repetition coding as SSK exploits receive-diversity in a better way.
