A QoE-Aware Resource Distribution Framework Incentivizing Context Sharing and Moderate Competition

We contend that context information of Internet clients can help to efficiently manage a variety of underlying resources for different Internet services and systems. We therefore propose a resource distribution framework that provides quality of experience (QoE) aware service differentiation, which means that starving clients are prioritized in resource allocation to enhance the corresponding end-user’s […]

Automatic Generation of Social Relationships between Internet of Things in Smart Home Using SDN-Based Home Cloud

The Internet of Things (IoT) idea is having a significant impact on our daily lives these days. As the number of IoT devices is growing fast, many researchers have declared that the usage of IoT and the impact of IoT will make people always use IoT devices whatever they do or wherever they are. At […]

The Benefits of Self-Awareness and Attention in Fog and Mist Computing

Self-awareness facilitates a proper assessment of cost-constrained cyber-physical systems, allocating limited resources where they are most needed. Together, situation awareness and attention are key enablers for self-awareness in efficient distributed sensing and computing networks.

A symbiotic resources sharing IoT platform in the smart cities context

Large urban areas are nowadays covered by millions of wireless devices, including not only cellular equipment carried by their inhabitants, but also several ubiquitous and pervasive platforms used to monitor and/or actuate on a variety of phenomena in the city area. Whereas the former are increasingly powerful devices equipped with advanced processors, large memory capacity, […]

The power of estuarine collaboratories

Developing science-based strategies to best balance estuarine use and resilience is critical to a sustainable earth, but is also challenging. To meet the challenge, we created for the Columbia River estuary, in the United States, a distinctive scientific infrastructure that we term “collaboratory.” We define collaboratory as a networked integration of sensors, platforms, models, data, analyses, and collaboration […]

To detect malicious nodes in the Mobile Ad-hoc Networks using soft computing technique

A Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) is a constantly self-configuring, infrastructure-less network of mobile devices where each device is wireless, moves without restraint and be a router to put across traffic unassociated to its own use. Every device must be prepared to constantly sustain the information obligatory for routing the traffic. And this is the main […]

PowerMac: A new protocol design for location based Ad-hoc networks

A mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is one consisting of a set of mobile hosts which can operate independently without infrastructure base stations. Power saving is a critical issue for MANET since most mobile hosts will be operated by battery powers. We can apply power conservation methods in all layers; but most of the power control mechanisms […]

A fully-distributed directional-to-directional MAC protocol for mobile ad hoc networks

The use of directional antennae in ad hoc networks can provide high spatial reuse of spectrum and antenna gains. However, employment of directional antennae poses great challenges such as hidden terminal and deafness problems. The existing directional medium access control (DMAC) protocols usually work in a switching mode of omnidirectional listening and directional sending, which, […]

Multi-hop Link Adaptation for Emergency Services Narrowband Mobile Ad-hoc Networks

Existing narrowband mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs) used in disaster search and rescue (SAR) missions and tactical communications are specifically designed to enable robust unicast or broadcast voice communications. The increasing demand for add-on data services such as messaging, file and map transfer etc requires those long-range communication systems to provide higher data rates while maintaining […]

Mobility Models, Traces and Impact of Mobility on Opportunistic Routing Algorithms: A Survey

Mobile Opportunistic Network (MON) is characterized by intermittent connectivity where communication largely depends on the mobility pattern of the participating nodes. In MON, a node can take the custody of a packet for a long time and carry it until a new forwarding path has been established, unlike mobile adhoc network (MANET), where a node […]
