Today new medical applications evolve from large stationary devices to small and smart mobile systems that will enable e.g. more efficient post operative health care. These mobile systems that benefit from ongoing miniaturization and energy savings in hardware will allow continuous monitoring of patients accompanying and supporting therapy and detect emergency situations. Additionally to vital data, the physiological load or the context of patients are important to analyze and understand recorded data of mobile patients. Current approaches for movement classification aim to detect very specific movement patterns and are dependent on precise sensor placements and are thus not suited for everyday usage. Therefore, we developed a movement detection and classification algorithm that can be easily integrated in existing embedded devices. Using data from a single accelerometer embedded into the device, the algorithm can classify between different movement patterns - the "context" - of the monitored person. We will describe the hardware and the algorithm and will provide first evaluation results demonstrating the effectiveness of this approach for providing context awareness in mobile medical applications in real-time.

The Internet contains a lot of information that can be very useful to support users in real-world activities and while on the go. Unfortunately, this information is currently very cumbersome to access and accessing the information disrupts the users' workflow. Internet services that offer those information with a seamless real-world integration are missing. In this paper, we argue that such Internet services are currently difficult to develop on a large scale because conceptual support for such applications is missing. Therefore, we propose a new paradigm, the Augmented Internet, that integrates a conceptual connection between the Internet and the real world into the next generation Internet. Requirements for the next generation Internet are analyzed based on multiple use cases. From this analysis, we conclude that it is feasible and advantageous to implement real- world integration as integral part of an information-centric network approach. To enable this, future information-centric network research has to take some additional requirements into consideration, resulting in minor but critical changes to the information-centric network approach, as will be discussed in this paper.

In critical situations (e.g., urban canyons) for global navigation satellite systems (GNSSs) only less than the required four satellites can be accessed, and hence, just a limited positioning performance can be achieved. This paper covers the improvement of GNSS based positioning in these critical scenarios by hybrid data fusion (HDF) algorithms using additional measurements from a communications system. Moreover, this HDF is integrated in a tracking algorithm which exploits an extended Kalman filter (EKF) for further performance improvement. Simulation results show the ability of this approach to compensate the lack of satellites by additional timing measurements from a future 3GPP-LTE communications system. Contrary to state-of-the-art work, this paper analyzes the performance in a fairly realistic manner especially by taking into account raytracing simulations to obtain a coherent environment.

The Global Positioning System (GPS) has become one of the state-of-the-art location systems that offers reliable mobile terminal (MT) location estimates. However, there exist situations where GPS is not available, e.g., when the MT is used indoors or when the MT is located close to high buildings. In these scenarios, a promising approach is to combine the GPS measured values with measured values from the Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM), which is known as hybrid localization method. In this paper, a hybrid MT tracking algorithm based on a Rao-Blackwellized unscented Kalman filter (RBUKF) is proposed that combines pseudoranges from GPS with timing advance and received signal strengths from GSM. Simulation results show that the proposed hybrid method outperforms the GSM method. Furthermore, the performance of the RBUKF is compared to the extended Kalman filter and the corresponding posterior Cramer-Rao lower bounds.

High capacity mobile broadband access requires a dense infrastructure of base stations. The costs associated with the backhaul transmission for these base stations is often a significant part of the total cost of the access network. It has been proposed to use part of the available spectrum to route data between base stations, so-called in-band relaying or self-backhauling. Although self-backhauling may result in a lower total system capacity, we will in this paper show examples where temporary use of in-band relaying postpones investments in fixed backhaul connections. This reduces the total (life-time) cost of the access network. In our incremental strategy example the total cost savings are in the order of 5 to 10%, depending on the relation between the additional equipment cost and the cost of leasing the fixed backhaul. Self-backhauling is not worth implementing when the entire network capacity needs to be achieved up-front, but the savings are significant when service uptake is slow or difficult to predict. The discount rate used in the investment analysis has only a minor impact on the results.

In this paper we examine how network attachment can be handled in a system where all communication, both on a data link and in a network, is based on the publish/subscribe paradigm instead of the traditional send/receive model. We present and discuss an early clean-slate solution to the problem of establishing and maintaining network connectivity between nodes in a secure and efficient way. The solution includes a basic protocol for pub/sub-based attachment, which addresses certain pertinent security challenges and conforms with the principle of receiver-driven communication. In addition, we report initial experiences from implementing the concepts outlined in our protocol design.

Excessive power consumption is a major problem in wireless communication. This is particularly true in ubiquitous computing environments, since wireless devices consume a considerable amount of energy in idle listening. Wake-up wireless communication technology is a promising candidate for reducing power consumption during idle listening. To realize wake-up wireless communication, this paper proposes a novel ID matching mechanism that uses a Bloom filter. This paper describes the design and implementation of a wireless wake-up module that uses this ID matching mechanism. Simulation results reveal that the wake-up module consumes only 12.4 muW while idle listening, and that employing this Bloom-filter-based approach eliminates 99.95 % of power consumption in our application scenarios.

IEEE 802.11p is currently being developed international standard, which specifies physical (PHY) and medium access control (MAC) protocols for car-to-car and car-to-infrastructure communication and should become a basis for safety-related and infotainment applications in future vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs). In VANETs beaconing is one of the most important communication modes, which is used to advertise the presence of a car to its neighbor cars. For different applications timely and successful delivery of beacons containing speed, direction and position of a car is extremely important. In this paper, we present analytical methods for car-to-car communication analysis and investigate the influence of beacon generation rate on the mean beacon transmission delay and probability of a successful beacon reception in the IEEE 802.11p-based network in both saturated and unsaturated cases.

In this paper we address the deployment of cooper- ation in a cellular CDMA environment. In particular, we consider the use of Amplify and Forward to increase the maximum number of users that can be assigned to each base station. In our scenario, a certain number of fixed Relay Stations are positioned within the cell: each of them is assigned a group of Mobile Terminals, whose transmissions are received and retransmitted towards the Base Station. We study the rule for the assignment of Mobile Terminals to the fixed Relay Stations placed in the cell and we investigate the transmission power required by each user in order to reach a given average Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio (SINR) level. We present numerical results quantifying the increased capability of a cell to accommodate users granted by cooperation in terms of coverage range and dropping probability.
