Mobile Energy Sharing Networks: Performance Analysis and Optimization

Energy is a scarce resource in wireless communications and mobile networking. In this paper, a novel concept of mobile energy sharing networks is proposed to enhance the energy usage of wirelessnetworks. In such networks, mobile users can share energy with one another when they move and meet, thus minimizing the chances of ending up with insufficient energy for their […]

A Communications-Oriented Perspective on Traffic Management Systems for Smart Cities: Challenges and Innovative Approaches

The growing size of cities and increasing population mobility have determined a rapid increase in the number of vehicles on the roads, which has resulted in many challenges for road traffic management authorities in relation to traffic congestion, accidents, and air pollution. Over the recent years, researchers from both industry and academia have been focusing […]

Adaptive ubiquitous mobile gaming system for youth obesity rehabilitation

Obesity is one of the rise and among the top health risk factors in the world affecting people of all ages. It can lead to many problems including increased risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, functional limitations, and disabilities which adversely affect the social and physical abilities of the obese person in daily affairs. While the rising trend […]

Emotion & stress mapping: Assembling an ambient geographic information-based methodology in order to understand smart cities

A smart city aims to improve urban functions and provided services, being often perceived as a living urban fabric, in which connected urban citizens, acting as active sensors, have the capacity to contribute even more efficiently to the spatial intelligence of cities. This “immaterial” dimension is related with the need that smart cities have to assess […]

A review on Big Data and its security

Big data as name implies that data that’s in large as nature, is known as big data. Big data is used to describe a large volume of structure way. Big Data concern large-amount, complex, growing data sets with multiple, autonomous sources, networking, data storage, and data collection capacity, These data are rapidly expanding in all science […]

Secure and efficient routing by Leveraging Situational Awareness Messages in tactical edge networks

A desired capability in military operations is the reliable and efficient sharing of Situational Awareness (SA) data at the tactical edge network. Many implementations of SA sharing in the literature use frequent broadcasts of SA messages in order to provide an up-to-date and comprehensive operating picture to all nodes. However, SA sharing may result in […]

Ensuring privacy in opportunistic networks using dynamic clustering

Opportunistic networks are type of challenged mobile Ad-Hoc Networks (MANETs). In Opportunistic Networks (OppNets), mobile devices send out the messages by exploiting the unswerving contacts, without the requisite of an end-to-end communications. In such a system, nodes are sporadic and there does not subsist an ample path from source to destination customarily. The message forwarding […]

FrameGeoSocial mobile Ad-hoc social network based on geolocation

With the advent of wireless communication networks and the new generation of smartphones, the access to data transmission networks has become possible anywhere at any time. Today, a group of users can gather in a dynamic manner and set up their own ad hoc communication networks and share geolocalization information thought Global Position System (GPS). […]

A two-level multicast routing strategy for delay tolerant networks

Delay Tolerant Networks (DTNs) are sparse mobile ad-hoc networks in which there is typically no complete path between the source and destination. Multicast is an important group communication paradigm that is required by many potential DTN applications, such as data dissemination during military and rescue operations. While multicasting has been studied extensively in the context […]

Optimising Reactive Routing over Virtual Nodes in VANETs

The Virtual Node Layer (VNLayer) is a clusterbased approach to handle communications in mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs), furnishing an abstraction of fixed geographical regions served by virtual nodes as a means to tackle the challenges raised by the mobility of the physical nodes. Several studies have proved that the VNLayer constructs can be applied to […]
