This paper focuses on the design of self-organizing algorithms for mesh topology formation between low-power short-range heterogeneous devices. To this end, we consider randomly deployed devices that are heterogeneous in terms of characteristics such as energy source (e.g. mains, rechargeable battery, and coin-cell), computational resources, and communication capabilities. Resilient topology formation is considered in a Bluetooth based setting, where devices communicate locally to form pico-nets comprising of devices in master and slave roles. These pico-nets are connected via primary and secondary bridges that forward the traffic between the pico-nets. A role suitability metric based on the device characteristics (e.g. energy source and number of neighbors) is used to assign appropriate roles to devices. By energy aware RSM based topology formation, more than 100% increase in network lifetime over the baseline approach is achieved. And by adding secondary bridges between piconets ≈ 35% further increase in network lifetime is shown.

The Internet-of-Things (IoT) is unanimously identified as one of the main pillars of future smart scenarios. However, despite the growing number of IoT deployments, the majority of IoT applications tend to be self-contained, thereby forming vertical silos. Indeed, the ability to combine and synthesize data streams and services from diverse IoT platforms and testbeds, holds the promise to increase the potential of smart applications in terms of size, scope and targeted business context. This paper describes the system architecture for the FIESTA-IoT platform, whose main aim is to federate a large number of testbeds across the planet, in order to offer experimenters the unique experience of dealing with a large number of semantically interoperable data sources. This system architecture was developed by following the Architectural Reference Model (ARM) methodology promoted by the IoT-A project (FP7 “light house” project on Architecture for the Internet of Things). Through this process, the FIESTA-IoT architecture is composed of a set of Views that deals with a “logical” functional decomposition (Functional View, FV) and data structuring and annotation, data flows and inter-functional component interactions (Information View, IV).

The need for massive content delivery is a consolidated trend in mobile communications, and will even increase for next years. Moreover, while 4G maturity and evolution is driven by video contents, next generation (5G) networks will be dominated by heterogeneous data and additional massive diffusion of Internet of Things (IoT). The current network architecture is not sufficient to cope with such traffic, which is heterogeneous in terms of latency and QoS requirements, and variable in space and time. This paper proposes architectural advances to endow the network with the necessary flexibility helping to adapt to these varying traffic needs by providing content and communication services where and when actually needed. Our functional hardware/software (HW/SW) architecture aims at influencing future system standardization and leverage the benefits of some key 5G networking enablers described in the paper. Preliminary results demonstrate the potential of these key technologies to support the evolution toward content-centric and context-aware 5G systems.

In this paper, we design a pilot structure in an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system for high-speed railway (HSR). Ergodic capacity is derived and its lower bound is obtained in closed form. Two schemes of pilot placement in time and frequency domains are proposed which maximizes the lower bound of the ergodic capacity. The ergodic capacities of the two proposed schemes are obtained by computer simulation and compared. It is shown that the proposed schemes achieve higher ergodic capacity than the random pilot placement scheme.

In this paper, we examine the performance of the decode-and-forward (DF) relaying protocols with finite blocklength (FB). We provide the overall outage probability of three distinct DF relaying protocols, where the channels are assumed to be quasi static Rayleigh fading. More importantly, we derive the closed form expressions of the outage probability in the three relaying scenarios. We illustrate protocols where the cooperative communications outperform the direct transmission (DT). In addition, we compare the operating efficiency of the cooperative schemes in the ultra-reliable (UR) region.

5G is all about integrating new industries in the design of this whole new generation, where the mobile broadband connection is not the one and only use case on focus. Within the umbrella of 5G, other technologies are brought to the surface enabling new ways of communication with unprecedented effects on many sectors of society such as healthcare. This article focuses on a practical implementation of a medical-oriented Internet of Skills application, where the doctor is able to perform remote diagnosis and palpation with the use of cutting edge haptic technology. We present an examination of the main medical socio-economic drivers, as well as the description of specific technologies used in this practical demonstration. All this, with the main objective of delivering a proof of concept for the design and planning of multi-modal communications in 5G.

As base stations (BS) are responsible for the large amount of energy consumed in cellular networks, energy efficient BS sleep mode techniques have the potential to save a significant amount of energy. However, assuming that BSs are able to alternate between sleeping and active states as frequently as possible may have a negative impact on network reliability, shortening BS lifetime. In this paper we propose a multiobjective optimization framework aimed at minimizing the power consumption and number of BS sleep mode switchings in heterogeneous cellular networks (HetNet), by jointly considering Quality of Service (QoS) requirements. We focus on the HetNet scenario in which macro and micro cells coexist. The Mixed Integer Quadratic Programming (MIQP) optimization technique is used to minimize the power consumption together with the number of BS sleep mode operations of both macro and micro cells. The trade-off between power consumption, sleep mode switchings and performance of the network is shown for different energy saving solutions. Results show that the proposed optimization can guarantee QoS target throughput for users and significant reduction of 50% for macro and 73% for micro BS respectively daily number of switchings, while still achieving 8% savings in terms of daily energy consumption.

Cognitive radio system is a context-aware technology in communications. Spectrum sensing is an important function in the implementation of cognitive radio systems by detecting the presence or absence of primary users within the frequency spectrum and makes available free channels for secondary users. Cyclostationary Feature Detector is capable of detecting signals at low signal to noise ratios relying on the signals features such as cyclic frequency, symbol rate, carrier frequency and modulation type. Local oscillator frequency offsets, Doppler effects and jitter produce cyclic and sampling clock offsets at the receiver which will degrade the performance. We propose a multi-slot cyclostationary feature detector that reduces the effects of the offsets by deriving the pair of slot and fast Fourier transform sizes that can be used for implementation. Consequently, this pair was used to show that these offsets can be reduced and also compared the detection performance scenarios with and without offsets.

This paper addresses the implementation of Radio Resource Management (RRM) and Self-Organizing Networks (SON) functions in virtualized multi-tenant small cell networks. In this context, the deployment and operation of RRM/SON functions as virtualized services facilitates the customization of the Radio Access Network (RAN) on a per-tenant basis. Specifically, this paper develops the architectural and functional framework for virtualizing RRM/SON functions, together with the illustration of some examples assessing the orders of magnitude of the requirements of the involved Virtual Network Functions (VNF).

In the next generation of mobile network, 5G, mm-wave (mmW) communication is considered one of the main disruptive technologies to increase data rates and improve spectrum efficiency. Wireless backhaul with stationary or moving nodes is one of the best candidate use-cases. This paper provides a comprehensive analysis on the architecture and design of mmW transceiver with automatic gain control (AGC) for mobility management. The focus is on the RF component requirements, especially, power amplifiers, low-noise amplifier and antennas as well as on their impact on the link-budget. Results are provided based on real figures of commercial components.
