In the last years Game Theory (GT) has been widely used in wireless technologies to model medium access, power control or resource exchange. In order to have a wider vision of the problem and describe the evolution of such networks, Evolutionary Game Theory (EGT) is currently considered as an important tool. This theory has been applied in biology since the seventies to describe animals' behaviour. We applied the theory to a new field of research and we describe how it could provide very interesting results. Cardiac diseases represent one of the biggest death causes in modern society. Despite their importance, current therapies do not give an efficient solution to the problem. However, stem cells research could represent a future hope for a more efficient solution. In particular, there is currently a great interest in myocardial tissue generation from stem cells cultures in 3D bio-active scaffolds. Those polymeric structures intend to mimic the environment inside the heart where cardiac cells, cardiomyocytes, are generated. Well designed scaffolds along with chemical substances contribute to the differentiation process of the stem cell. How this happens, and how a stem cells population becomes a myocardial tissue? We studied a solution using Evolutionary Game Theory (EGT). We set a very simple model to describe the basic concepts of EGT and present some early results.

Applications of wireless sensor networks often include sensitive information such as enemy movement on the battlefield or the location of personnel in a building. Lacking security services in the routing protocols, WSNs are vulnerable to many kinds of attacks. A secure routing in WSN must address several challenges: vulnerable wireless communication, highly resource-constrained senor nodes in terms of processing power, storage, and battery life, and the risk of physically captured. However, a few of existing routing protocols for WSNs have been designed with security as a goal. As sensors communicate in a multi-hop fashion, identification of secure neighbours in a mobile topology is critical for routing. Since these devices are resource constrained, we propose a secure neighbour authentication protocol based on a variant of HB, an authentication protocol for RFID devices. Simulation results show that the routing protocol SHLAODV is secure and energy efficient.

In this paper, the effect of a training-based linear minimum mean squared error (LMMSE) channel estimator on the sum mutual information of the multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) multiple access channel (MAC) is investigated. Adhering to the classical channel estimation philosophy, the overarching contribution of the present work consists in bridging pure information-theoretic bounds on the sum mutual information with practical system parameters that are inherent to the LMMSE channel estimator. The unboundness of the mutual information and conservation of the multiplexing gain is shown and, interestingly, the increase of the mutual information loss with respect of the perfect channel knowledge case with the increasing of the signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR) is revealed, with a close-form expression for the value bounding the loss for asymptotically high SNRs.

Ad hoc and Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) form a challenging domain for existing network protocols and paradigms to fit into. The traditional models conceived for wired networking and adapted for wireless and mobile environments provide an inefficient and ungraceful outcome when exercised against highly dynamic and highly mobile nature of ad hoc wireless sensor networks. Efforts are being made to tweak existing (and sometimes create from scratch) principles and models that can provide a concrete framework for such newer paradigms. The momentum of the traditional layered architecture carried over from the wired networks to infrastructure based wireless networks pushes the same approaches as the de facto standard for the new ad hoc WSNs. We argue that such an approach conflicts with the long term prospects of the new paradigms. Using a network architecture designed for static nodes, albeit with tweaks (such as cross-layering), to address a completely different model of communications with modalities beyond the scope of both wired and infrastructure based wireless networks is not the right path to follow. We present a new way of thinking about the network abstractions, away from the hierarchical layers, towards network functionality as layer-less services. Further, we propose the approaches that can be utilized to standardize this approach in the long term.

Wireless projection technology has made a quantum leap forward in terms of portability, ease of use, performance and functionality. Today, slide projectors have become a part of the wireless LAN, and the user planning to project his/her desktop is just one click away from projector. This makes the projector easily accessible similar to other wireless equipments like printer, scanner etc. available on WLAN. These current generation wireless projectors have made real-time interaction between a room-full of business executives or students a reality. An adapter to convert a wired projector to wireless projector will help the community who might have already invested money on high end wired projectors. With this, owners of the wired projectors enjoy almost all the benefits of wireless projectors with minimal investment. This project involves design of such an adapter for wired projectors with the necessary softwares for the user PC or Laptop. The adapter is designed around Beagle Board which is a 3" × 3" single board computer from Texas Instruments.

An increasing number of patients, high cost, lack of mobility, isolation from professional environment, among others issues demand a technology in which a patient should be monitored from home instead of hospital. This will force the development of more cost-effective and advanced wireless telemedicine solutions. The parameters like types of input (i.e. ECG, blood pressure, body temperature, etc.), sampling rate, distance between wireless modules, number of sensors connected in wireless network, adaptability of algorithms for signal processing, size of the device and power consumption can affect the performance and cost of the systems. This paper illustrates hardware for wireless ECG system and the performance of various algorithms applied to ECG received wirelessly in the standing and sitting position of patient; and with different sampling frequencies to meet the requirements of system low cost and easily adaptability. To demonstrate the work, a prototype of ECG front end is developed, tested and interfaced with Bluetooth module which digitizes the analog ECG signal and transmits the signal wirelessly to Bluetooth enabled devices. The algorithms like piecewise moving average, moving average, and S-Golay algorithm are implemented on the captured ECG with different sampling frequencies and with different positions of patient; and are compared. A template for moving average and piecewise algorithms is written in Microsoft (MS) Excel and tested for real time data update. The proposed system has successfully used the Bluetooth technology to transmit and receive physical signals along with testing of operational features of transmitting device through the air. The results show that a novel algorithm is required which can efficiently remove high frequency noise in any physical condition of patient and can be easily implemented in existing Mobile/PDA/Laptop, etc. to meet the system requirement of low cost and adaptability.

Currently, Peer to peer (P2P) technology has dramatically transformed the landscape of the Internet traffic, which attracts researchers to do more research on the deployment of P2P in heterogeneous networks. Current GSM/GPRS system cannot support real P2P, because it does not allow mobile terminal to get a fixed IP address, but in 3G it is possible. On the other hand IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) is a key technology of 3G; it uses SIP to control sessions of higher layer services and has ability of multiple access network combination. We are currently working on SARACEN, one of the FP7 project in Europe which is based on multimedia communication. The main goal of the SARACEN project is to research and develop a platform, over which distribution of multimedia streams can be supported through innovative techniques, both as regards media encoding, but also as regards media distribution using P2P[1]. In media distribution, we found few challenges with P2P like piracy, security, content delivery time, bandwidth management etc. In this paper we are going to propose a new environment with collaboration of P4P (Provider Portal for P2P) and IMS. This proposed architecture consists of P2PSIP, DRM, AAA, iTracker, SIP AS, Gateway and other components. This architecture is not only for our project but also for general purpose to resolve the p2p challenges in heterogeneous environment.

Being center of both public and hazardous material transport system, railway is one of the most important critical infrastructures. This research is aiming to support secure access to information, dependable and reliable operation, efficient management and maintenance of the railway infrastructure. In this regard, this paper proposes a framework where sensors retrieve the contextual data from the infrastructure and a middleware processes these data and the semantics of data to derive decisions. These decisions allow monitoring of information and generate alarms for faults. The decisions may recommend actions to deal with the faults and provide secure access to information only to authorized personnel. The semantic technologies such as ontology language, rule language and reasoning process are used to design the middleware. The paper includes detailed description of the middleware and an overview of its implementation steps.

A Mobile ad hoc network is a collection of wireless communication nodes that dynamically form a network without any fixed infrastructure. One of the most important topics in these networks is multicast routing. Although multicast algorithms are desirable in many situations, their forwarding mechanism and network resource consumption makes them significantly less efficient than unicast routing algorithms. The most significant type of multicast protocols are mesh-based algorithms which, use periodic flooding mechanism to construct paths. Flooding rate in the multicast routing protocols depends on node mobility and input traffic. Thus, this rate should adaptively adjust to restrict overheads, while there are continuously a complete mesh between receivers and senders in network. In this paper, a novel prediction model is proposed to compute the best rate of flooding mechanism. Our results show substantial improvement in overhead while has no reduction in the performance of the multicast routing protocol.
