In recent years, the Internet of Things (IoT) technology has shown a good momentum of development and has been widely used in various fields of society. Satellite IoT, as an important complement and extension of the ground IoT, provides services in areas where oceanic and desert areas cannot build terrestrial IoT base stations. However, due to limited spectrum resources, spectrum sharing between terrestrial IoT and satellite IoT is likely to be required, which will inevitably lead to uplink and downlink co-channel interference between systems. This paper analyzes various interference scenarios that may occur on the uplink and downlink of terrestrial IoT and satellite IoT. Then, we establishes a global dynamic model of interference volume, and obtains the dynamic distribution of global interference of low-orbit satellite IoT through simulation. Finally, the paper uses the low-orbit satellite IoT global interference scenarios, interference distribution model and interference analysis model to obtain the dynamic analysis of the global uplink and downlink interference of the low-orbit satellite IoT, and uses the interference analysis results to give suggestions for the deployment of Low-orbit Satellite IoT.

Network service providers tend to focus on the quality of service (QoS) they provide to their customers. This entails analysis of various QoS metrics (such as bandwidth, packet loss and jitter) in order to be able to improve their services. This is a single-dimensional approach to a problem that needs to be analyzed not only from a business improvement perspective but also from a customer satisfaction perspective. QoS metrics do not directly translate to customer experience, which is more qualitative than quantitative. Thus, it is necessary to correlate qualitative metrics that customers relate to with quantitative metrics that can be analyzed and improved upon by service providers. This is a non-trivial problem that needs deeper exploration. In this paper, we attempt to correlate video conferencing QoE (Quality of Experience) with network QoS. In order to do this, we developed a novel Docker image called Lime, to be able to automate the experiments and emulate the network environment. We performed 144 separate video conferences under predefined network handicaps (scenarios). We discovered that bandwidth is directly proportional to the perceived quality of the video implying that higher bandwidth is preferred. On the other hand, frequently fluctuating bandwidth quickly reduced the user-opinion, and also resulted in slower subsequent climb in opinion after a period of high fluctuation. This indicated that steady bandwidth is preferred over irregularly increasing bandwidth. Jitter and packet loss were found to contribute to negative user-opinion as well as low bandwidth. Conversely, increasing jitter and packet loss was mostly forgiven if the bandwidth stayed stable and high. Lime is shown to be a novel tool to fulfill requirements related to video conferencing experiments under pre-defined network scenarios.

Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs) have shown their important impact in healthcare systems since the deployment of these networks allows remote medical monitoring at a lower cost. In this work, we evaluate the performance of two standards: IEEE802.15.6 and IEEE802.15.4 when applied in a healthcare system scenario. We compare their communication modes and access mechanisms. Finally, we propose modifications to IEEE 802.15.6 access mode to enhance its performance. Simulation result demonstrates that the proposed modification improves the protocol performance in terms of packets latency and received packets number.

Next generation of wireless communication systems is expected to support a wide set of applications and use cases. Among these, applications with ultra-reliable and low-latency communications (URLLC) are at utmost importance due to stringent requirements. In this work, single carrier (SC) transmission is considered as a promising solution to meet demands of systems with URLLC. Firstly, SC system parameters affecting reliability and latency are comprehensively explained. Additionally, these parameters are optimized in time and frequency domain to achieve URLLC. Later, adaptive roll-off factor usage within a SC block is proposed to provide more efficient resource utilization. Trade-offs between reliability, latency and system efficiency are shown via computer based simulations. SC transmission inherently offers flexible structure to optimize the trade-offs through proper parameter selection.

A frequency-reconfigurable coplanar-waveguide (CPW) fed monopole antenna using switchable capacitively loaded loops (CLLs) is reported. Two open circuits used as switches are employed in the CLLs elements to make the antenna frequency-reconfigurable in four operating modes: a single-band mode (2.2–2.7GHz), two dual-band mode : (0.8 to 1.1GHz/2.2-3GHz), then (1.5–2.2GHz/ 2.8–3.2GHz) and a triple-band mode (0.8–1GHz/ 1.6 to 2.2 GHz /2.6–3.1GHz). The monopole antenna is resonating at 2.45 GHz, while the CLL elements produce other operating frequency bands covering a number of wireless communication systems, including GSM, DCS, UMTS, WLAN, WiMAX and S-band. The simulated results of return loss, surface currents distribution and radiation patterns are presented and discussed.

Vehicular fog computing (VFC) has emerged as a cost-efficient solution for task processing in vehicular networks. However, how to realize stable and reliable task offloading under information uncertainty remains a critical challenge. In this paper, we propose a matching-learning-based task offloading algorithm to address this challenge. First, a low-complexity and stable task offloading mechanism is proposed to minimize the total network delay based on the pricing-based matching. Second, we extend the work to the scenario of information uncertainty, and develop a matching-learning-based task offloading algorithm by combining matching theory and upper confidence bound (UCB) algorithm. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm can achieve bounded deviation from the optimal performance without the global information.

In this paper, we focus on the half-duplex (HD) relaying with partial relay selection (PRS) scheme using destination-assisted jamming (DAJ). We consider one source (S), one destination (D), one passive eavesdropper and multiple amplify-and-forward (AF) relays. The relay node is selected based on the best instantaneous signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the first hop. Closed-form expressions for lower-bound of ergodic secrecy capacity (ESC) and secrecy outage probability (SOP) are derived over independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) Rayleigh fading environment. Moreover, we present a comparison between the proposed system and the secure AF relaying system with reactive relay selection (RRS). In the RRS, the relay is chosen based on the best SNR of the second hop. Simulation results are presented to verify the exactness of our proposed mathematical analysis.

Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) has revealed for decades many interesting opportunities especially in the field of positioning that made of it one of the most used technologies in indoor localization solutions. The system we propose is a combination of BLE, Acoustic and LiFi technologies. Our approach is not just arithmetic but using real time computed metrics that act precision indicators or "Dilution of precision" (DOP) weights of the results given by each technology. Depending on these DOP-like indicators, we were able to judge how much precise and accurate the returned results are. Our new approach was confirmed during experiments showing that the precision of this new hybrid system is much better when using these new precision metrics.

Network Function Virtualization (NFV) promises a significant advantage for IoT operators to steer substantial customizable service through a sequence of virtual network function (VNF). Service Function Chain (SFC) mapping is a key problem in IoT network resource allocation. There are two challenges in virtual resource allocation include: 1) how to map SFC requests to appropriate devices in the right sequence; 2) how to assure QoS requirements of SFC requests. Therefore, to meet the sharp increase of IoT traffic amounts and the diversification of IoT service requirements, a multi-objective service function chain mapping mechanism is proposed with two sub-mechanisms. First, a SFC mapping algorithm is designed to embed VNFs onto the substrate layer based on cost and load balancing. Then a reliability-aware SFC backup algorithm combining SFC backup and VNF backup is presented to economically and efficiently improve service reliability. The simulation results show that the algorithm can significantly improve the acceptance ratio of SFC requests, reduce cost, ensure network balance, and achieve long-term sustainable operation of the network.
