Switching Capacitors Transformerless Bidirectional DC-DC Converter
2020
This paper presents an innovative converter topology that better connects the needs of the battery pack and the electric motor towards the validation of an eco-sustainable electric mobility model. More in particular, the components of the proposed converter change their connection state during both the charging and discharging time of the battery, leading to a higher performance with respect to traditional step-down or step-up converters. The simulations carried out by means of the PLECS® environment have demonstrated the early feasibility of the proposed system.
A Survey on Proxy Mobile IPv6 Handover
2016
[EN] As wireless technologies have been improving in recent years, a mobility management mechanism is required to provide seamless and ubiquitous mobility for end users who are roaming among points of attachment in wireless networks. Thus, Mobile IPv6 was developed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) to support the mobility service. However, Mobile IPv6 is unable to fulfill the requirements of real-time applications, such as video streaming service and voice over IP service, due to its high handover (HO) latency. To address this problem, Proxy Mobile IPv6 (PMIPv6) has been introduced by the IETF. In PMIPv6, which is a network-based approach, the serving network controls mobility m…
A J-MADeM Agent-Based Social Simulation to Model Urban Mobility
2011
The mobility models followed within metropolitan areas, mainly based on the massive use of the car instead of the public transportation, will soon become unsustainable unless there is a change of citizens’ minds and transport policies. The main challenge related to urban mobility is that of getting free-flowing greener cities, which are provided with a smarter and accessible urban transport system. In this paper, we present an agent-based social simulation approach to tackle this kind of social-ecological systems. The Jason Multi-modal Agent Decision Making (JMADeM) library enable us to model and implement the social decisions made by each habitant about how to get to work every day, e.g., …
Information Exchange in Mobile Encounter Network
2007
In this paper we analyze an information exchange method based on information diffusion in mobile encounter networks, a form of mobile peer-to-peer networks. We utilize dual mobility model which provides support for more realistic simulations compared to mobility models based only one method of movement. The distribution of the mobile device encounter intervals are discussed and analyzed via simulation runs. The logistic model is suggested to provide reasonably accurate estimates of the information diffusion process.
Modeling of mobility and groups in inter-vehicular MANET-based networks
2007
This paper evaluates the behavior of mobile ad hoc networks when group mobility is involved. We concentrate on group mobility because road vehicles tend to form groups or fleets whose behavior depends on the behavior of the close-by vehicles. We propose four different group mobility models and present a mobility pattern generator, called grcmob that we designed to be used with the ns-2 simulator. We evaluate the performance of vehicular ad hoc networks under a wide number of scenarios using both TCP and UDP data traffic. We show that the number of groups is more important than the number of nodes and that the impact of area size is almost negligible. We also reveal that the mixture of inter…
A Highly Flexible Trajectory Model Based on the Primitives of Brownian Fields—Part I: Fundamental Principles and Implementation Aspects
2015
A fundamental drawback of synthetic mobility models is that the spatial configuration of the path is determined by the temporal features of the mobile station (MS), such as its speed. This is, however, not true in reality. This first part of our paper establishes a new approach for generating fully spatial random trajectory (mobility) models to which different speed scenarios can be applied. We employ the new approach to the proposal of a highly flexible trajectory model based on the primitives (integrals) of Brownian fields (BFs). We construct a drifted partial random bridge from a given starting point to a random terminating point in the 2D plane. If the bridge is partially established, a…
MCMIPv6: Multicast Configuration-based Mobile IPv6 protocol
2010
International audience; Mobile IPv6 (MIPv6) and its basic extension for network mobility NEMO were initially designed to manage the mobility of device users and networks respectively while maintaining a permanent IP address. Nevertheless, the different MIPv6's experiments have shown many lacks in case of high mobility of nodes such as in vehicular networks. To overcome these lacks, many solutions have been proposed by the research community. The most famous ones are HMIPv6 and FMIPv6 tackling each a specific issue. On the one hand, FMIPv6 introduces a solution to effectively minimize the L2/L3 latency and avoid the packets losses during the handover procedure. On the other hand, HMIPv6 is e…
Group mobility impact over TCP and CBR traffic in mobile ad hoc networks
2004
We present an analysis of the effect that mobility models have over the performance of a mobile ad hoc network. We concentrate on group mobility because there is a growing attention on the development and evaluation of MANET's approach applied to personal area networks (PANs), especially based on Bluetooth technology. We investigate the effect that the mobility model has on the performance of CBR traffic and TCP traffic. We propose four different group mobility models and describe a mobility pattern generator called grcmob to be used with the ns-2 simulator. We perform a thorough evaluation of a MANET behavior using as a reference the behavior obtained with the random waypoint mobility mode…
Network Connectivity and Area Coverage for UAV Fleet Mobility Model with Energy Constraint
2016
International audience; Our main focus through the present paper is on developing an original distributed mobility model for autonomous fleet of interconnected UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) performing an area exploration mission. The UAVs, equipped with wireless ad-hoc capabilities, are required to optimally explore an area while maintaining connectivity with their neighboring UAVs and the base station. Because energy is a scarce resource, especially for UAVs, its wise management is quite beneficial for the network lifetime and mission success. Hence, the proposed mobility model, compared to other models in the literature, is the first to ever include the remaining energy level as decisio…
Human Mobility Simulator for Smart Applications
2019
Several issues related to Smart City development require the knowledge of accurate human mobility models, such as in the case of urban development planning or evacuation strategy definition. Nevertheless, the exploitation of real data about users' mobility results in severe threats to their privacy, since it allows to infer highly sensitive information. On the contrary, the adoption of simulation tools to handle mobility models allows to neglect privacy during the design of location-based services. In this work, we propose a simulation tool capable of generating synthetic datasets of human mobility traces; then, we exploit them to evaluate the effectiveness of algorithms which aim to detect…
