Enquiring about and understanding what is going on around ourselves is a fundamental and natural human behaviour. The psychological concept of sense of place considers our individual perceptions of particular locations at particular times. In addition to the immediate properties of our environment, it is also strongly dependent on our individual traits, purpose and relationships as they evolve and adapt over time. In this paper we examine how new approaches to participatory ICT can support heightened levels of sense of place through the development of a parallel concept for collective spatial awareness in ICT systems. We discuss how this could be used as the basis for autonomous processing, acquisition and exchange of spatially relevant information and knowledge.

In the last decade, intelligent transportation systems (ITS) have progressed at a rapid rate, which aim to improve transportation activities in terms of safety and efficiency. Car-to-car and car-to-infrastructure communications are important components of the ITS architecture. Communication between cars and traffic lights is one of the important V2I applications which helps to have dynamic and automatic traffic lights that can create several benefits such as minimizing the traffic jam, reducing fuel consumption and emissions, etc. This paper deals with decreasing the response time of the emergency cars by changing the traffic lights status with employing the communication technologies. The contribution of this paper is twofold: First, the effect of the changing traffic lights status to green for emergency cars is investigated by using traffic simulator (SUMO). Second, this paper uses OMNET++ (Network Simulator) in order to simulate the mentioned scenario as a VANET (with 802.11p standard) by using Veins framework to run SUMO and OMNET++ in parallel. This study has developed the Veins framework by adding a new module to OMNET++ to consider the traffic lights which are simulated in SUMO. Moreover this study has developed a new program written in Python which is connected to SUMO and controls the traffic simulation. This program uses SUMO to simulate a microscopic traffic (by considering every single vehicle movements) and also a city with intelligent traffic lights. Additionally, several statistics about traffic simulation is created for each car such as traveling time, waiting time, emissions, fuel consumption; or complete amount of car emissions in the street during the simulation, fuel consumption, number of vehicles and so on, for each street. This paper uses Manhattan realistic map to describe the mentioned program, then uses realistic map and realistic traffic demand of Cologne, Germany, to obtain a realistic and reliable result.

Network coding is a promising technique because of its ability to improve network throughput. In this paper we study the relation between throughput and the physical distribution of nodes in a cooperative network coding scheme, targeting to characterize favourable conditions for network coding in wireless networks. The coding scheme involves one base station and three mobile users transmitting signals cooperatively, where one of the three mobile users is selected to act as a relay node to coordinate the cooperation. The correlation between relative distances and throughput is studied by means of numerical simulations on four typical scenarios. The simulation results show that the network coding scheme can achieve gains of about 10%-30% over the traditional direct transmit scheme in terms of throughput when users are located in a suitable range. It is also shown that the network coding scheme performs better when the backhaul link has a comparable distance as the access link in the observed simulation scenarios.

While clustered communication has been considered as one key technology for supporting machine-to-machine (M2M) wireless networks, existing clustering techniques have predominantly been designed with the objectives of maximizing the service quality for individual machines. Many M2M applications, however, are characterized by the large amount of correlated data to transport, and hence existing “machine-centric” clustering techniques fail to effectively address the “big data” problem introduced by these M2M applications. In this paper, we propose the concept of “data-centric” clustering to exploit the correlation of data to be gathered by a large number of machines. We first formulate an optimization problem for the target problem that involves cluster formation and power control. We then propose an anytime algorithm for solving the optimization problem iteratively in two phases. Compared with other approaches for cluster formation, we show through evaluation that data-centric clustering can achieve noticeable performance gain for dense M2M communications with big data.

Algorithmic approaches to the estimation of pairwise distances between the nodes of a wireless sensor network are highly attractive to provide information for routing and localization without requiring specific hardware to be added to cost/resource-constrained nodes. This paper exploits statistical geometry to derive robust estimators of the pairwise Euclidean distances from topological information typically available in any network. Extensive Monte Carlo experiments conducted on synthetic benchmarks demonstrate the improved quality of the proposed estimators with respect to the state of the art.

The edge and detail information's losing, image distortion and Ringingeffect pose many challenges to existing micro image enhancement algorithms. In this paper, a novel optical transfer function-based micro image enhancement algorithm is put forward. In this algorithm, the point spread function was acquired according the incoherent illuminate in the optical system firstly. Secondly, the optical transfer function(OTF) was obtained and the high-pass filter based on optical property was constructed through the microscopic OTF. Finally, micro image would be processed by using the compensating filter. As a result, the clear and non-obvious Ringingeffect micro image was gained. Further more, the micro image enhancement algorithm based on OTF was compared with image enhancement algorithm based on Butterworth high-pass filter. Experimental results show that the optical transfer function-based micro image enhancement algorithm can produce a better micro image enhancement effect.

This paper presents OpenAirITS, an open-source Software-Defined Radio platform for DSRC (802.11p) technology. We extended the Linux 802.11 subsystem, developed a soft-modem and a dedicated driver for the OpenAirInterface Express-MIMO FPGA board. The low-layer PHY functions of DSRC have not been coded on the chipset, but instead as a soft-modem, which allows the SDR platform to be easily modified according to particular experimental objectives. The RF front-end and Express-MIMO board are reconfigurable to allow a wide range of options. In this paper, we configure the prototype for a 5MHz channel bandwidth at 800MHz, and provide key performance metrics of the soft-modem, as well as the DSRC protocol stack.

Different from the conventional networks with single secondary network, the spectrum sensing scheme for cognitive coexistent networks should not only detect the primary signal but also detect the secondary signals to avoid the interference with both the primary network and the operating coexistent secondary networks. Therefore, the sensing scheme in coexistent networks should be able to differentiate the primary signal from the secondary signals. Due to the heterogeneity of the secondary networks, the secondary signals may exploit different PHY modes (some of them may be the same as the primary PHY mode), which imposes difficulties in the coherent signal detection schemes. Aiming at overcoming such difficulties, this paper proposes a non-coherent spectrum sensing scheme with the assistance of the geo-locations of the primary and secondary nodes. In the proposed scheme, the differentiation between the primary and secondary signals is formulated into a problem of solving a non-homogeneous linear equation matrix. During the signal detection, the characteristics of both primary and secondary signals are not required. Both the analysis and the simulation results show the feasibility and efficiency of the proposed scheme.

In Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) based smart grid condition monitoring applications (e.g., the detection of a Partial Discharge (PD) event in high voltage transformers), network traffic dramatically increases when cascaded faults occur. Reliability and delay are among the main issues that are affected by this increase in the traffic rates. In this paper, we present an adaptive Quality of Service (QoS) scheme for WSNs that provides service differentiation by reducing the delay of critical data in smart grid monitoring and control applications. This scheme is tailored for large-scale WSN deployments with multi-hop cluster-tree topologies. Analytical and simulation results show that our proposed scheme satisfies the delay requirement of the smart grid while maintaining high reliability.

The need to deploy large number of wireless devices, such as electricity or water meters, is becoming a key challenge for any utility. Furthermore, such a deployment should be functional for more than a decade. Many cellular operators consider LTE to be the single long term solution for wide area connectivity serving all types of wireless traffic. On the other hand, GSM is a well-adopted technology and represents a valuable asset to build M2M infrastructure due to the good coverage, device maturity, and low cost. In this paper we assess the potential of GSM/GPRS/EDGE to operate as a dedicated network for M2M communications. In order to enable M2M-dedicated operation in the near future, we reengineer the GSM/GPRS/EDGE protocol in a way that requires only minor software updates of the protocol stack. We propose different schemes to boost the number of M2M devices in the system without affecting the network stability. We show that a single GSM cell can support simultaneous low-data rate connections (e. g. to smart meters) in the order of 104 devices.
