    Abstract:

The core objective is to improve cooperative sensing efficiency which specifies how fast a decision can be reached in each round of cooperation (iteration) to sense an appropriate number of channels/bands (i.e. 86 channels of 7MHz bandwidth as per IEEE 802.22) within a time constraint (channel sensing time). To meet this objective, we have developed CSS algorithm using unsupervised K-means clustering classification approach. The received energy level of each Secondary User (SU) is considered as the parameter for determining channel availability. The performance of proposed algorithm is quantified in terms of detection accuracy, training and classification delay time. Further, the detection accuracy of our proposed scheme meets the requirement of IEEE 802.22 WRAN with the target probability of falsealrm as 0.1. All the simulations are carried out using Matlab tool.

  • Distance Based Method for Outlier Detection of Body Sensor Networks

    Abstract:
    We propose a distance based method for the outlier detection of body sensor networks. Firstly, we use a Kernel Density Estimation (KDE) to calculate the probability of the distance to k nearest neighbors for diagnosed data. If the probability is less than a threshold, and the distance of this dat…We propose a distance based method for the outlier detection of body sensor networks. Firstly, we use a Kernel
    Density Estimation (KDE) to calculate the probability of the distance to k nearest neighbors for diagnosed
    data. If the probability is less than a threshold, and the distance of this data to its left and right neighbors is
    greater than a pre-defined value, the diagnosed data is decided as an outlier. Further, we formalize a sliding
    window based method to improve the outlier detection performance. Finally, to estimate the KDE by training
    sensor readings with errors, we introduce a Hidden Markov Model (HMM) based method to estimate the most probable ground truth values which have the maximum probability to produce the training data. Simulation results show that the proposed method possesses a good detection accuracy with a low false alarm rate.

To deal wit…The existing wireless network will face the challenge of data tsunami in the near future. Densification of network will deal
    huge data traffic but will increase the interferences and network cost. At the same time, the existing wireless network is
    underutilized due to dynamic traffic. To deal with this adverse scenario, a change in the current network architecture is
    required. Based on virtualization, Cloud Radio Access Network (CRAN) was proposed for wireless network. In CRAN the functionality of base station will be distributed into base band unit (BBU) and remote radio heads (RRH) which will achieve benefits of centralization.
    This paper presents a survey on CRAN centring on optimized resource allocation, energy efficiency and throughput maximization under fronthaul capacity. The existing solution and future opportunities in CRAN are also summarized.

    generation to another. Starting from the first generation, several multiple access techniques have been
    explored in different generations and various emerging multiplexing/multiple access techniques are being
    investigated for the next generation of cellular networks. In this context, this paper first provides a detailed
    review on the existing Space Division Multiple Access (SDMA) related works. Subsequently, it highlights the
    main features and the drawbacks of various existing and emerging multiplexing/multiple access techniques.
    Finally, we propose a novel concept of clustered orthogonal signature division multiple access for the next generation of cellular networks. The proposed concept envisions to employ joint antenna coding in order to enhance the orthogonality of SDMA beams with the objective of enhancing the spectral efficiency of future cellular networks.

  • Towards Effective Intra-flow Network Coding in Software Defined Wireless Mesh Networks

    mobile users.With the support of Software-Defined Networking (SDN) paradigm that separates control plane
    and data plane, WMNs can be easily deployed and managed. In addition, by exploiting the broadcast nature
    of the wireless medium and the spatial diversity of multi-hop wireless networks, intra-flow network coding
    has shown a greater benefit in comparison with traditional routing paradigms in data transmission for WMNs.
    In this paper, we develop a novel OpenCoding protocol, which combines the SDN technique with intra-flow
    network coding for WMNs. Our developed protocol can simplify the deployment and management of the
    network and improve network performance. In OpenCoding, a controller that works on the control plane
    makes routing decisions for mesh routers and the hop-by-hop forwarding function is replaced by network
    coding functions in data plane. We analyze the overhead of OpenCoding. Through a simulation study, we
    show the effectiveness of the OpenCoding protocol in comparison with existing schemes. Our data shows that
    OpenCoding outperforms both traditional routing and intra-flow network coding schemes.
