The paper proposes the solution to guarantee the extremely low latency or even zero latency to the moving subscribers in requesting the multimedia streaming service. The solution leverages the competent network resources that could be provided by the 5G network and constructs a slice with appropriate resource allocation on a per user basis. The solution is context aware, including user's location, travel route, driving speed, and road traffic condition. The network resource allocation algorithms are proposed to make sure that the storage and bandwidth are appropriately reserved to provision the video content blocks to the designated base stations. The moving subscriber can experience no latency in receiving the video content with exceedingly efficient storage usage and reasonable bandwidth expense.

In this paper, the user association process in 5G Heterogeneous Cloud Radio Access Networks (H-CRAN) with wireless fronthaul links is developed. The association process is formulated as a combinatorial optimization problem to maximize the total network throughput while considering the users' QoS requirements as well as the capacity constraints of the wireless fronthaul links. Based on well-defined utility functions for users and Remote Radio Heads (RRHs) in H-CRAN, a two-sided matching game-based algorithm is developed to get the optimum user association solution. Following the association process, an additional radio channel distribution phase based on water-falling algorithm is developed to distribute the remaining radio channels on the associated users and hence improving their achieved throughput. Simulation results validate the superiority of the proposed association algorithm especially in terms of users' achievable data rate as well as the access rate performance.

A dual-band frequency reconfigurable monopole antenna is presented in this paper. Reconfiguration of frequency bands is achieved using RF PIN diodes. An already published antenna design is used as a starting point and is then modified to achieve frequency reconfiguration mechanism by incorporating RF PIN diodes. The antenna resonates at center frequency of 2.4 GHz and 4.25 GHz when RF PIN diodes are switched OFF. However, RF PIN diodes ON state resulted in 1.84 and 3.66 GHz frequency bands. The 1.84 and 2.45 GHz bands are controlled by altering the electrical length of inverted L-shaped resonator. Whereas, C-shaped radiator is used to resonate the proposed antenna at 3.66 GHz and 4.56 GHz frequency bands. Overall, the simulation and measurement results showed a good agreement.

In this paper, we present the functional design and experimental validation of network coding technology over hybrid networks including satellite links. We first describe our design framework based on a holistic modelling of (overlay) heterogeneous networking satellite scenarios. We then define different types of logical nodes depending on their encoding, re-encoding and decoding functionalities and whether or not the satellite (overlay) application designer has control over them. Nodes are assumed strategically chosen to recode, which may result in a small number of re-encoding nodes that suffice to optimize selected performance metrics. Our main contribution is a system-oriented functional design of network coding that enables flexible instantiation of different types of network codes via configurable network coding (C-NC) functions. Random or structured NC coefficients can be remotely or locally generated and a packet scheduler can forward packets according to different policies. The choice of coefficients and overall NC scheme depend on the SATCOM-specific performance target, namely delay or bandwidth constraints. Here, we present a preliminary design and experimental testebed validation for the case of delay constrained transmission. Our results show the practical benefits of re-encoding and performance tradeoffs of different network coding schemes. In particular, our results show the good structural properties and delay-reliability tradeoffs of our novel proposal of structured network codes using Pascal matrices due to the regenerative properties of the coding coefficients.

This paper discusses design and implementation of SDN Controller application in a Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) network based on OpenDaylight. In this paper, we first briefly review Traffic Engineering challenges in MPLS networks. We then discuss on how Software-Defined Networking (SDN) could overcome Label Switched Path (LSP) path calculation challenges in MPLS Traffic Engineering. We discuss that a centralized SDN Controller has network-wide visibility thus should become “source of truth” of network state. We discuss that OpenDaylight has capabilities as centralized SDN Controller, however one needs to build application on top of OpenDaylight. An application of SDN Controller based on OpenDaylight is proposed in this paper. To verify the application functionalities, a virtual lab is created to model an MPLS network and an OpenDaylight SDN Controller. A performance measurement of the OpenDaylight SDN Controller is also discussed in this paper.

The security threats to mobile application are growing explosively. Mobile app flaws and security defects could open doors for hackers to easily attack mobile apps. Secure software development must be addressed earlier in the development lifecycle rather than fixing the security holes after attacking. Early eliminating against possible security vulnerability will help us increase the security of our software, and militate the consequence of damages of data loss caused by potential malicious attacking. However, many software developer professionals lack the necessary security knowledge and skills at the development stage and Secure Mobile Software Development (SMSD) is not yet well represented in current computing curriculum. In this paper we present a static security analysis approach with open source FindSecurityBugs plugin for Android Studio IDE. We categorized the common mobile vulnerability for developers based on OWASP mobile security recommendations and developed detectors to meet the SMSD needs in industry and education.

Many configuration have been used for the array antenna and rectangular or triangular networks have been the most attentive topology. In fact, Synthesis techniques can take the advantage of periodicity of these type of networks. Concentric rings array are a special type of array antennas that are used in tracking radars and acoustic systems. This type of arrays does not have linear periodicity in a plane. Therefore, many methods that are based on the linear periodicity of elements are unable to deal with the difficulty of the calculations. Besides, the number of elements in this type of arrays may be very high or even thousands of elements which makes the synthesis procedure more complicated and time consuming. In this paper, these deficiencies and complexity have been reduced in very great extent by using non-uniform sampling and sectional excitation. In the proposed technique, each array is divided into the smaller sub-arrays making up more control over the symmetric array factor by sectional excitation. This control over array factor makes possible to synthesize asymmetric pattern from such circularly symmetric arrays. The results confirm that using sectional excitation maintains the parameters of the array factor at the desired values and this is done with less time.

In this letter a new decoding algorithm based on the adaptive normalized min-sum algorithm and the joint decoding algorithm is proposed for irregular low density parity check codes in OFDM system. The new proposed algorithm changes the update rule of the normalized min-sum algorithm to improve its performance. Also, instead of having separate horizontal and vertical processing phases in decoding algorithm, the vertical phase is merged with the horizontal phase. The proposed decoder improves the performance in waterfall and error floor regions. The convergence speed of the proposed algorithm is much faster. Therefore, the proposed decoder is able to converge to its final bit error rate in fewer iterations.

Secure communication in medical devices is a pillar in ensuring patient's safety. However, in emergency cases, this can hinder the recovery of the patient. If an emergency team cannot give themselves access to the IMD without the user's assistance, they may be unable to offer any help. This paper introduces a security scheme for similar cases. By creating a backdoor to the IMDs, legal authentication may be performed with the IMD and gain access to it. This work presents a procedure for an emergency team to validate their actions to the IMD without the need of the patient's conscious. This is ensured using hashing function and elliptic curves for the security key generation. The seed that will be used will be the heart rhythm of the patient. The authentication process introduced will only allow access to the identified parties. An eavesdropper will be unable to interfere during emergency cases and can threaten patients' lives.
