This paper investigates the dynamic selection of transmission opportunity (TXOP) which was originally proposed in IEEE 802.11e Enhanced Distributed Channel Access (EDCA). A game theoretic optimisation framework is proposed to schedule the optimal TXOP value for every station according to the current channel capacity and transmission requirements of the stations, in order to improve the efficiency of TXOP scheduling and channel resource utilisation. The advantages of the proposed decentralised mechanism include the increased flexibility in TXOP allocation and the reduced complexity. The proposed mechanism has potential applications in the future IEEE 802.11ax standard. Theoretical study shows the existence of Nash equilibrium where the stations achieve an optimal TXOP scheduling. Numerical simulations are presented to demonstrate the proposed framework.

Smart grid represents a significant new technology of improving the efficiency, reliability and economics of the production, transmission and distribution of electricity that helps reduce carbon emissions. Communication networks become a key to achieving smart grid benefits due to their capability of delivering data and control signals. However, there does not exist a unified approach to quantify how well a communication network supports smart grid applications. In this paper, effective capacity is exploited as a good candidate to quantitatively measure how well the communication network supports smart grid applications, regardless of specific network technologies. Case studies using the effective capacity are given and analyzed by simulations in different smart grid application scenarios.

This paper presents the Monte Carlo simulation to evaluate the power distribution performance and frequency response of underwater optical wireless communication. Comparison is made between collimated beam and diffuse beam in clear water and turbid water. It is observed that by using diffuse beam in turbid water communications can still be established with a coverage area of radius 7 m with a bandwidth of 43 MHz. A higher bandwidth around 158 MHz can be supported by on-axis links.

In underwater acoustic networks (UANs), the “hidden terminal” and “exposed terminal” problems greatly restrict their capacity due to the characteristics of the underwater acoustic channel, such as very limited bandwidth, time-varying multipath propagation, and large propagation delay. However, it is still possible to achieve reasonably good performance if we smartly leverage large propagation delay. In this paper, we propose a multi-channel MAC protocol for UANs (called UA-MCMA). UA-MCMA divides the available channel into a control channel and several traffic channels, each of which will be uniquely used by one node within its single-hop scope. Unlike conventional handshaking-based schemes that tend to suffer from low throughput and high transmission delay in UANs due to the long propagation delay, the UA-MCMA combats this problem by allowing a sender to start transmitting data packets on its traffic channel periodically after it has sent a request-to-send frame on the control channel, without waiting for the clear-to-send frame from the receiver. By doing so, some data can be transmitted during the channel reservation period, which notably improves the performance of UANs. Simulation results confirm its good performance in terms of throughput and average packet delay.

Network Coding-enabled wireless networks are vulnerable to data pollution attacks where adversary nodes inject into the network polluted (i.e. corrupted) packets that prevent the destination nodes from decoding correctly. Even a small proportion of pollution can quickly propagate into other packets via re-coding, occurred at the intermediate nodes, and lead to resource waste. Therefore, during the past few years, several solutions have been proposed to provide resistance against data pollution attacks. One of the most well-known solutions is Homomorphic Message Authentication Code (HMAC). However, HMAC is susceptible to a new type of pollution attacks, called tag pollution attacks, in which a malicious node randomly modifies MAC tags appended at the end of the transmitted packets. To address this issue, we have recently proposed an HMAC-based scheme making use of two types of MAC tags to provide resistance against both data pollution attacks and tag pollution attacks. In this paper, we steer our focus on improving the resistance of our proposed scheme against tag pollution attacks by decreasing the number of MACs. Finally, we analyze the impact of the total number of MACs on the bandwidth overhead of the proposed scheme.

Nowadays, fiber-based access networks are considered to be a major solution to provide the triple-play (voice, video and data) services. However, telecom companies are forced to provide a cost effective solution due to the rapid technological evolution and fierce competition. Return on investment for the deployment of Greenfield networks or transformation of existing legacy networks need to be maximized. In addition, the network should be designed in such a way that it is easy to deploy and to maintain. To achieve these objectives, an intelligent network planning system is required to minimize the cost of network design with the practical considerations to alleviate the future maintenance. In this paper, we provide an approach that uses road information in order to tackle the FTTH access network planning problem with the focus on handling practical scenarios.

Over the last decade, the explosive increase in demand of high-data-rate video services and massive access machine type communication (MTC) requests have become the main challenges for the future 5G wireless network. The hybrid satellite terrestrial network based on the control and user plane (C/U) separation concept is expected to support flexible and customized resource scheduling and management toward global ubiquitous networking and unified service architecture. In this paper, centralized and distributed resource management strategies (CRMS and DRMS) are proposed and compared com- prehensively in terms of throughput, power consumption, spectral and energy efficiency (SE and EE) and coverage probability, utilizing the mature stochastic geometry. Numerical results show that, compared with DRMS strategy, the U-plane cooperation between satellite and terrestrial network under CRMS strategy could improve the throughput and EE by nearly 136% and 60% respectively in ultra-sparse networks and greatly enhance the U-plane coverage probability (approximately 77%). Efficient resource management mechanism is suggested for the hybrid network according to the network deployment for the future 5G wireless network.

In this paper, we critically compare the performances of bulk, per-subcarrier and combined selection schemes in super dense networks. Specifically, their outage and contention probabilities are critically appraised. To analyze the effects of outage and contention together, a performance parameter termed the bulk gain factor is defined and employed. Finally, we find that although the bulk selection scheme yields a worse outage performance, it would still be preferable in super dense networks as long as a sufficiently large transmit power is employed, since it only demands one relay and has a lower contention probability. Note, this conclusion is constructed based on the fact that when the bulk selection scheme is applied, the contention probability is still much higher than the outage probability in super dense networks. Our results serve as a design benchmark for physical layer applications/protocols used in super dense networks. Also, with these results, we provide a theoretical basis to further optimize super dense networks by reducing contention probability.

Nowadays, energy production/distribution moves from the conventional, centralised operational framework towards more distributed/decentralised models. Such a distributed/decentralised framework for future smart energy networks based on the optimal formation of virtual micro-grids (VMGs) has been developed in the context of the VIMSEN (Virtual Microgrids for Smart Energy Networks) research project. This paper provides an overview of the VIMSEN concept while focusing on an innovative, modular gateway solution that fulfils the market players' requirements by incorporating energy management and communication services to support future smart energy network architectures.

We propose a simple distributed uplink power control scheme based on the Foschini-Miljanic algorithm but driven by the queue sizes of each mobile station. The resulting data rates are proportional to the queue backlog of each mobile, such that the total power consumption is equal to a target value. Using analysis we establish convergence and characterize the equilibrium, and use simulations to study the performance of the proposed scheme. It is exhibited that the algorithm is capable of utilizing any idle capacity in the system thereby obtaining considerable reductions in average queueing delay.
