Priority-based initial access for URLLC traffic in massive IoT networks: Schemes and performance analysis
2020
Abstract At a density of one million devices per square kilometer, the10’s of billions of devices, objects, and machines that form a massive Internet of things (mIoT) require ubiquitous connectivity. Among a massive number of IoT devices, a portion of them require ultra-reliable low latency communication (URLLC) provided via fifth generation (5G) networks, bringing many new challenges due to the stringent service requirements. Albeit a surge of research efforts on URLLC and mIoT, access mechanisms which include both URLLC and massive machine type communications (mMTC) have not yet been investigated in-depth. In this paper, we propose three novel schemes to facilitate priority-based initial …
Optimal Buffer Resource Allocation in Wireless Caching Networks
2019
Wireless caching systems have been exhaustively investigated in recent years. Due to limited buffer capacity, and unbalanced arrival and service rates, the backlogs may exist in the caching node and even cause buffer overflow. In this paper, we first investigate the relationship among backlogs, buffer capacity, data arrival rate and service rate, utilizing the martingale theory which is flexible in handling any arrival and service processes. Then given a target buffer overflow probability, the minimal required buffer portion is determined. If the devoted buffer capacity can fulfill all serving users' minimal buffer requirements, an optimization problem is constructed with the objective to m…
A symbolic distributed event detection scheme for Wireless Sensor Networks
2016
Due to the possibility of extensive and pervasive deployment of many tiny sensor devices in the area of interest, Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) result particularly suitable to detect significant events and to react accordingly in industrial and home scenarios. In this context, fuzzy inference systems for event detection in WSNs have proved to be accurate enough in treating imprecise sensory readings to decrease the number of false alarms. Besides reacting to event occurrences, the whole network may infer more information to enrich the event semantics resulting from reasoning processes carried out on the individual nodes. Contextual knowledge, including spatial and temporal relationships, …
Embedding Evolution in Epidemic-Style Forwarding
2007
International audience; In this work, we introduce a framework to let forwarding schemes evolve in order to adapt to changing and a priori unknown environments. The framework is inspired by genetic algorithms: at each node a genotype describes the forwarding scheme used, a selection process fosters the diffusion of the fittest genotypes in the system and new genotypes are created by combining existing ones or applying random changes. A case study implementation is presented and its performance evaluated via numerical simulations.
Performance analysis of the out-of-band signaling scheme for high speed wireless LANs
2005
In this paper, we study the performance of our earlier proposed out-of-band signaling (OBS) scheme for high speed wireless local area networks (WLANs). We employ the system approximation technique for modeling of the OBS scheme. An equivalent state dependent single server queue, that describes the OBS scheme, is constructed for the analysis of the throughput and delay performances. Moreover, we study the throughput optimization of the OBS scheme, which provides a means for optimizing the performance of the OBS scheme, given a particular network environment. Finally, we conduct several simulation experiments to validate our analytical results.
Call Admission Control in Single and Two-Tier Cellular Networks
2010
We consider four strategies for call admission control (CAC) in single and two-tier cellular networks, which are designed to ensure advantage of handover calls: dynamic redundancy (cutoff priority scheme), partial dynamic redundancy (fractional guard channel scheme), static redundancy (rigid division-based CAC scheme) and restriction of the number of new calls admitted (new call bounding scheme). We show the advantage of dynamic reservation by numerical analysis. We strictly prove it in the case of two-channel system with losses.
An attribute based access control scheme for secure sharing of electronic health records
2016
Electronic health records (EHRs) play a vital role in modern health industry, allowing the possibility of flexible sharing of health information in the quest of provisioning advanced and efficient healthcare services for the users. Although sharing of EHRs has significant benefits, given that such records contain lot of sensitive information, secure sharing of EHRs is of paramount importance. Thus, there is a need for the realization of sophisticated access control mechanisms for secure sharing of EHRs, which has attracted significant interest from the research community. The most prominent access control schemes for sharing of EHRs found in literature are role based and such solutions have…
An Efficient Multi-Show Unlinkable Attribute Based Credential Scheme for a Collaborative E-Health Environment
2017
Modern electronic healthcare (e-health) systems constitute collaborative environments in which patients' private health data are shared across multiple domains. In such environments, patients' privacy can be violated through the linkability of different user access sessions over patient health data. Therefore, enforcing anonymous as well as multi-session unlinkable access for the users in e-health systems is of paramount importance. As a way of achieving this requirement, more emphasis has been given to anonymous attribute credentials, which allows a user to anonymously prove the ownership of a set of attributes to a verifier and thereby gain access to protected resources. Among the existin…
Elliptic Curve-Based Secure Multidimensional Aggregation for Smart Grid Communications
2017
In smart grid, data aggregation is considered as an essential paradigm in assessing information about current energy usage. To achieve the privacy-preserving goal, several homomorphic-based solutions have been proposed. However, these solutions either consider one-dimensional information or use costly pairing computation in order to ensure source authentication. In fact, smart grid data are likely to be multidimensional (e.g., time, purpose, and so on) for more accurate control. In addition, the aggregation node in smart grid needs to verify data that come from several smart meters in a residential area; hence, the verification must be cost-efficient. In this paper, we propose a scheme that…
El trabajo en red y la cooperación como elementos para la mejora escolar
2021
La escuela es un entorno enriquecido de aprendizaje, pero no es el único entorno educativo. La misión educativa de la escuela debe contemplar la coordinación escuela-familia como rasgo de su proyecto social. Buena parte de este puente se fundamenta en el diálogo desde la participación de la familia con el desarrollo educativo integral, base de la noción democratizadora de la escuela. Por ello, esta aportación aborda el trabajo en red como elemento para la mejora escolar desde la cooperación. Se focaliza en el trabajo en red al servicio del aprendizaje y el conocimiento y en los equipos cooperativos como unidad de trabajo en red. Una muestra de esta forma de trabajo se concreta en dos experi…
