Optimization of the Relay Selection Scheme in Cooperative Retransmission Networks
2011
Cooperative MAC protocol design has attracted much attention recently thanks to the development of relaying techniques. In single-relay C-ARQ, the relay selection scheme cannot work efficiently in a dense network, due to high collision probability among different contending relays. In this paper, the throughput performance impairment from the collision is analysed in a typical network scenario. Thereby, we propose an optimized relay selection scheme aiming at maximizing system throughput by reducing collision probability. The throughput performance enhancement by the proposed optimal relay selection scheme is verified by simulations.
On the performance of hybrid-ARQ with code combining over double rayleigh fading channels
2011
In this paper, we study the performance of hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) with code combining (CC) over double Rayleigh channels. This channel can be utilized to model the fading envelope of vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) channels. We derive analytical solutions for the characteristic quantities of double Rayleigh channels, such as the outage probability, the ergodic capacity, and the bit error probability (BEP). Moreover, we study the performance of HARQ with CC. Our analysis focuses on information theoretic aspects of HARQ with CC. closed-form analytical approximations are derived for the e-outage capacity, the average number of transmissions, and the average transmission rate of HARQ w…
Predictive and Contextual Feature Separation for Bayesian Metanetworks
2007
Bayesian Networks are proven to be a comprehensive model to describe causal relationships among domain attributes with probabilistic measure of conditional dependency. However, depending on a context, many attributes of the model might not be relevant. If a Bayesian Network has been learned across multiple contexts then all uncovered conditional dependencies are averaged over all contexts and cannot guarantee high predictive accuracy when applied to a concrete case. We are considering a context as a set of contextual attributes, which are not directly effect probability distribution of the target attributes, but they effect on "relevance" of the predictive attributes towards target attribut…
Current characterisation for ultra low power wireless body area networks
2010
The emerging area of body area networks (BAN) imposes challenging requirements on hardware and software to achieve the desired lifetimes for certain devices such as long term medical implants. In this paper, we propose a novel approach to the measurement and characterisation of the energy consumption of BAN devices. The approach uses a low cost energy auditing circuit and addresses the problem of accurately measuring low-level current consumption. This new technique will allow precise and analytical measurements of systems and components in terms of energy. This will help circuit designers minimise power consumption in BAN devices. Software engineers might use this approach to validate and …
Ontological Analysis and Modularization of CIDOC-CRM
2020
Conference cancelled due to COVID19; International audience; The CIDOC-CRM ontology is a standard for cultural heritage data modeling. Despite its large exploitation, the ontology is primarily maintained in a semi-formal notation, which makes it difficult to homogeneously exploit it in digital environments. In addition, the ontology consists of several classes and relations, whereas one sometimes wishes to reuse it but only partially. The purpose of the paper is to contribute to the use of CIDOC by strengthening its foundations. On the basis of formal ontology theories, we propose a first analysis of the ontology to enhance its conceptual structure. We also present a preliminary modularizat…
Experimental evaluation of topological-based fitness functions to detect complexes in PPI networks
2012
The detection of groups of proteins sharing common biological features is an important research issue, intensively investigated in the last few years, because of the insights it can give in understanding cell behavior. In this paper we present an extensive experimental evaluation campaign aiming at exploring the capability of Genetic Algorithms (GAs) to find clusters in protein-protein interaction networks, when different topological-based fitness functions are employed. A complete experimentation on the yeast protein-protein interaction network, along with a comparative evaluation of the effectiveness in detecting true complexes on the yeast and human networks, reveals GAs as a feasible an…
Lightweight Relay Selection in Multi-Hop Wake-Up Radio Enabled IoT Networks
2018
Wake-up Radios (WuRs) are becoming more popular in Internet of Things (IoT) networks owing to their overwhelming advantages such as low latency, high energy saving, and on-demand communication. In a multi-hop WuR-IoT network, route establishment between source and destination prior to actual data communications consumes a significant portion of energy. To reduce energy consumption and protocol overhead for route establishment, we propose a lightweight relay (LR) selection scheme, referred to as LR-WuR, where a lookup table and acknowledgment are used for next hop relay selection. We develop an analytical model to evaluate the performance of LR-WuR. Extensive simulations are performed to val…
Multi-Antenna Covert Communication With Jamming in the Presence of a Mobile Warden
2021
Covert communication can hide the information transmission process from the warden to prevent adversarial eavesdropping. However, it becomes challenging when the warden can move. In this paper, we propose a covert communication scheme against a mobile warden, which maximizes the connectivity throughput between a multi-antenna transmitter and a full-duplex jamming receiver with the covert outage probability (COP) limit. First, we analyze the monotonicity of the COP to obtain the optimal location the warden can move. Then, under this worst situation, we optimize the transmission rate, the transmit power and the jamming power of covert communication to maximize the connection throughput. This …
Directive local color transfer based on dynamic look-up table
2019
Abstract Color transfer in image processing usually suffers from misleading color mapping and loss of details. This paper presents a novel directive local color transfer method based on dynamic look-up table (D-DLT) to solve these problems in two steps. First, a directive mapping between the source and the reference image is established based on the salient detection and the color clusters to obtain directive color transfer intention. Then, dynamic look-up tables are created according to the color clusters to preserve the details, which can suppress pseudo contours and avoid detail loss. Subjective and objective assessments are presented to verify the feasibility and the availability of the…
Towards a SDN-based architecture for analyzing network traffic in cloud computing infrastructures
2015
Currently, network traffic monitoring tools do not fit well in the monitoring of cloud computing infrastructures. These tools are not integrated with the control plane of the cloud computing stack. This lack of integration causes a deficiency in the handling of the re-usage of IP addresses along virtual machines, a lack of adaption and reaction on highly frequent topology changes, and a lack of accuracy in the metrics gathered for the networking traffic flowing along the cloud infrastructure. The main contribution of this paper is to provide a novel SDN-based architecture to carry out the monitoring of network traffic in cloud infrastructures. The architecture in based on the integration be…
