Many people recognise the important role broadcasters have in providing people with an understanding of environmental issues is often through programmes and other content but broadcasters themselves also have a significant impact on the environment through the process of content creation and distribution. This touches on the editorial and creative challenges of informing audiences about the environment and focuses on the sustainability of programme making and distribution, using the UK and particularly the BBC as an example. In the first case using information from Albert, the UK carbon calculator for the television industry, the carbon footprint of different production workflows will be assessed. Then using research undertaken by BBC R&D and partners the paper will look at the impact of transmission and the energy differences between distribution platforms. In conclusion some thoughts on the challenges facing this industry will be shared as well as some suggestions on where efforts might productively be focused.

This study demonstrates how a maturity model on Green ICT can help organisations improve themselves and become more environmental sustainable in a standard and efficient manner. For this we have used the SURF Green ICT Maturity Model and facilitated the use of this model in four organisations. These organisations participated in a maturity scan, evaluation session to discuss the results of the scan and a questionnaire on the use of the model. This field study showed that individual participants were very positive about the use of such a model and that it provided inspiration for improvement, both to reduce the environmental impact of ICT as well as to use ICT as an green solution for other business processes.

In the actual network configuration, content providers are not involved in the universal service programs with a corresponding participation being taxes, funds or compensations. We propose a regulated Internet contract with a free or very small economic participation to access into a limited version of the service with content providers financing participation to broadcast their high bandwidth content. We study a minimum quality of a service as a strategy of public policy over a broadband telecommunication services to create better absorption of technological benefits as a welfare measure for the users. As results we show a positive effect to propose universal service by quality as complement of universal service obligation, the conditions to determine the prices have to be ruled ex-ante by authorities and finally the best market scenario for welfare superior is determined by competition.

The huge growth in the number of connected wireless devices leads to an increasing demand for network connectivity. In this context, aerial networks may play an important role by widening the concept of access networks. This paper describes and analyzes one of the most promising applications of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, commonly known as drones, in the field of communications: Extending the capacity or coverage of wireless systems through the deployment of aerial communication networks. We present a comprehensive characterization study of an experimental system to deploy an aerial WiFi network. To do so, an Intel Galileo development board is appropriately configured and equipped as a WiFi node playing either the role of an access point in the infrastructure mode or of an intermediate hop in the ad-hoc operational mode. This device is then integrated onboard a drone. We compare both WiFi modes in terms of coverage area, throughput, and energy efficiency. Preliminary results reveal that there is a trade-off between coverage and data rates, for which the infrastructure mode performs better, and energy efficiency, where the ad-hoc mode is more responsive.

For years there has been an implicit assumption that the economic growth is dependent on emission growth. However, ICT has the potential to reduce energy consumption of almost all other industries. GeSi SMARTer2030 (2015) report1 shows that ICT has the potential to enable a 20% reduction of global CO2 emissions by 2030, thus holding emissions at 2015 levels, and demonstrating that judicious usage of ICT could effectively decouple economic growth from emissions growt.

The rising prevalence of phone fraud is hurting consumers and businesses. With about a half million reports each year in the United States, phone fraud complaints have more than doubled since 2013. In the current calling line identification presentation scheme, the caller ID is trivially spoofed. Scammers are using spoofed caller IDs to trick their victims into answering unwanted calls and further a variety of scams. To provide a solution to this problem, this paper proposes an authentication scheme that provides the possibility of a security indicator for the current Q.731.3 calling line identification presentation supplementary service. The goal of this proposal is to help prevent users from falling victim to phone impersonation scams, as well as provide a foundation for future defenses to stop unwanted calls based on the caller ID information. This work will help to guide the future development of a standardized scheme in authenticating SS7 identities.

Maldives, Myanmar, and the Philippines are vulnerable to natural disasters [1]. Sendai Framework1 of Action calls for risk reduction by implementing early warning systems [2]. A prevailing challenge is for authorities to coordinate warnings across disparate communication systems and autonomous organizations [3]. Cross-Agency Situational-Awareness platforms and the ITU-T X.1303 Common Alerting Protocol (CAP)2 interoperable data standards presents themselves as solution for diluting the inter-agency rivalries and interconnection disparities [4]. The Sahana Alerting and Messaging Broker (SAMBRO) was designed to overcome these issues by providing a Common Operating Picture and a platform for all Stakeholders to share early warnings. To that end, the CAP-on-a-MAP project is implementing SAMBRO and the CAP standard along with the policies and procedures in the Maldives, Myanmar and Philippines. The project is applying an agile development methodology with a design, build, test, and redesign strategy for implementing the cross-agency situational-awareness and warning system in the respective countries. This paper discusses the country context implementation challenges and discusses strategies fostered through the introduction of the CAP content standard for warning system designers to consider for overcoming similar challenges.

Video streaming over Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) used in multifarious applications creating a multimedia environment faces a challenge in 4G wireless network due to the fluctuating nature of internet traffic and variable capacity ofwireless channel over time. The existing Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (DASH), though works well for stored video up to some extent, poses a complication in live transmission thereby depreciating the streaming quality due to high link bit rate fluctuation. In this paper, we have proposed an efficient ARIMA Based Bit Rate Adaptation (ABBA) model in the receiver/client side that estimate the link traffic based on the incoming packet bit rate to predict the subsequent future link capacity in order to notify the sender/server. Based on the response from the receiver the server adapt its outgoing stream as per forecasted link data rate, and hence eliminate the degradation of video due to channel throughput variations. The proposed ABBA algorithm was implemented on IP over 4G wireless network and the streaming quality was evaluated on several full reference metrics of video quality. The test result outperformed an existing buffer based approach and also a fuzzy based adaptation algorithm. For example, the ABBA algorithm exhibited an average increase of 22 % in PSNR and 9% in SSIM than a buffer based method.
基于超文本传输协议(HTTP)的视频流用于创建多媒体环境的各种应用中，由于互联网流量的波动性和无线信道容量随时间的变化，在4G无线网络中面临着挑战。现有的基于HTTP的动态自适应流(Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP, DASH)虽然在一定程度上可以很好地处理存储视频，但由于链路比特率波动大，导致直播传输变得复杂，从而降低了流质量。在本文中，我们提出了一个有效的基于ARIMA比特率自适应(ABBA)的接收端/客户端模型，该模型基于传入数据包的比特率来估计链路流量，以预测后续的未来链路容量，从而通知发送端/服务器。基于接收方的响应，服务器根据预测的链路数据速率调整其传出流，从而消除由于信道吞吐量变化而导致的视频降级。提出的ABBA算法在IP over 4G无线网络上实现，并在几个完整的视频质量参考指标上对流媒体质量进行了评估。测试结果优于现有的基于缓冲区的方法和基于模糊的自适应算法。例如，与基于缓冲区的方法相比，ABBA算法的PSNR平均提高了22%，SSIM平均提高了9%。

Despite having one million active fishermen, India lacks a scalable boat-to-shore communication framework. Small boat operators, which form 80% of entire fishing community, are more vulnerable to the wilder nature of the ocean, due to dynamic sea current, wind speed, direction and wave heights, etc. This is also one of reason for fishermen entering accidently in other country's territory, getting caught and sometimes costing their life. This poses a serious question to fishermen and their family, whether they would return the next time they venture out in to the sea. Deep sea mobile connectivity and Information, given in advance about the sea conditions such as wind speed and wave height can help fishermen to plan their trip effectively and avoid the danger zone. This infrastructure could provide path of building "knowledge society" to fishermen deprived of real time and usable information. For realizing this, integration of the existing communication technologies like VHF transceivers, satellite communication and extension of mobile communication network is needed. A consortium of partners like Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute, Tata Consultancy Service and Tata Tele Services piloted a project for mobile signal extension into the sea upto 30kms. This enabled an extended network accessibility, which led to create an Early Warning System over a digital highway of 30 by 120 KM, along the coast. This paper captures the experiences and recommendations derived from this pilot.

This paper deals with the challenges posed to human safety in the emerging IoT and ubiquitous network scenario by super intelligent machines/cognitive robotics that would coexist in the upcoming heterogeneous world comprising humans and super intelligent machines. Questions of trust in the super intelligent machines have been raised by scientists, sociologists, industry stalwarts, etc. After deliberating on the issues, aligning AI to human interests has been suggested as a plausible option. Agenda for further action proposed is that the ITU may constitute a multidisciplinary umbrella group, collaborating with existing technical and policy groups working on AI standards at technology and policy levels, for in-depth study of all facets, bridging the technology innovations and the policy considerations, and bring out Guidelines for AI aligning with human interests adhering to ethical code.
