CHANNEL MAXIMIZATION IN WIRELESS BACKHAUL BASED HETNETS

Mostafa Hefnawi

Royal Military College of Canada,Canada.


ABSTRACT

In this paper, we consider the optimization of wireless capacity-limited backhaul links in future heterogeneous networks (HetNets). We assume that the HetNet is formed with one macro-cell base station (MBS), which is associated with multiple small-cell base stations (SBSs). It is also assumed both the MBS and the SBSs are equipped with massive arrays, while all mobiles users (macro-cell and small-cell users) have single antenna. For the backhaul links, we propose to use a capacity-aware beamforming scheme at the SBSs and MRC at the MBS. Using particle swarm optimization (PSO), each SBS seeks the optimal transmit weight vectors that maximize the backhaul uplink capacity and the access uplinks signal-tointerference plus noise ratio (SINR). The performance evaluation in terms of the symbol error rate (SER) and the ergodic system capacity shows that the proposed capacity-aware backhaul link scheme achieves similar or better performance than traditional wireless backhaul links and requires considerably less computational complexity.

ABSTRACT

This paper proposes a virtual architecture for three-dimensional (3D) wireless sensor networks (WSNs), a dynamic coordinate system, and a scalable energy-efficient training protocol for collections of nodes deployed in the space that are initially anonymous, asynchronous, and unaware of their initial location. The 3D WSNs considered comprise massively deployed tiny energy-constrained commodity sensors and one or more sink nodes that provide an interface to the outside world. The proposed architecture is a generalization of a two-dimensional virtual architecture previously proposed in the literature, in which a flexible and intuitive coordinate system is imposed onto the deployment area and the anonymous nodes are partitioned into clusters where data can be gathered from the environment and synthesized under local control. The architecture solves the hidden sensors problem that occurs because of irregularities in rugged deployment areas or environments containing buildings by training the network of nodes arbitrarily dispersed in the 3D space. In addition, we derive two simple and energy-efficient routing protocols, respectively for dense and sparse networks, based on the proposed dynamic coordinate system. They are used to minimize the power expended in collecting and routing data to the sink node, thus increasing the lifetime of the network.

A DYNAMIC ADDRESSING PROTOCOL ON CODE MESSAGES FOR AN UNDERWATER WIRELESS HALF DUPLEX NETWORKS OF AUTONOMOUS SENSORS

Underwater Communication and Navigation Laboratory, Russia


ABSTRACT

This paper presents the new protocol for the organization of dynamic addressing nodes in the underwater wireless networks. In view of the extremely limited frequency band and significant delays inherent in the underwater acoustic data transmission channel, as well as the nonlinearity of the propagation paths of the acoustic signal in water, an approach is proposed for constructing a dynamic addressing protocol based on avoiding collisions at the receiving point. The protocol takes into account the peculiarities of the physical layer of the data transmission and is designed for servicing the network of autonomous non-synchronized nodes.

BLACKLIST MANAGEMENT USING A VERIFICATION REPORT TO IMPROVE THE ENERGY EFFICIENCY OF CFFS IN WSNS

JungSub Ahn and TaeHo Cho,

Sungkyunkwan University, Republic of Korea


ABSTRACT

Recently, the applications scope of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) has been broadened. WSN communication security is important because sensor nodes are vulnerable to various security attacks when deployed in an open environment. An adversary could exploit this vulnerability to inject false reports into the network. En-route filtering techniques have been researched to block false reports. The CFFS scheme filters the false report by collaboratively validating the report by clustering the nodes. However, CFFS is not considered effective against repetitive attacks. Repeated attacks have a significant impact on network lifetime. In this paper, we propose a method to detect repetitive attacks with cluster-based false data filtering and to identify the compromised nodes and quickly block them. The proposed scheme uses fuzzy logic to determine the distribution of additional keys according to the network conditions, thereby improving energy efficiency.

EFFICIENTLY SECURE BROADCASTING IN 5G WIRELESS FOG-BASED-FRONTHAUL NETWORKS

Nabeel I. Sulieman and Richard D. Gitlin,

University of South Florida, USA.


ABSTRACT

Enhanced Diversity and Network Coding (eDC-NC), the synergistic combination of Diversity and modified Triangular Network Coding, was introduced recently to provide efficient and ultra-reliable networking with near-instantaneous fault recovery. In this paper it is shown that eDC-NC technology can efficiently and securely broadcast messages in 5G wireless fog-computing-based Radio Access Networks (F-RAN). In particular, this work is directed towards demonstrating the ability of eDC-NC technology to more efficiently provide secure messages broadcasting than standardized methods such as Secure Multicasting using Secret (Shared) Key Cryptography, such that the adversary has no ability to acquire information even if they wiretap the entire F-RAN network (except of course the source and destination nodes). Our results show that using secure eDC-NC technology in F-RAN fronthaul network will enhance secure broadcasting and provide ultra-reliability networking, near-instantaneous fault recovery, and retain the throughput benefits of Network Coding.

ABSTRACT

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) is a strong candidate for smart grid applications, such as advanced metering infrastructure, demand response management, dynamic pricing, load control, electricity fraud detection, fault diagnostics, substation monitoring and control as well as automation of various elements of the power grid. The realization of these applications directly depends on efficiency of communication facilities among power grid elements. However, the harsh power grid environmental conditions with obstacles, noise, interference, and fading pose great challenges to reliability of these facilities to monitor and control the power grid. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate performance of WSNs in different power grid environments such as 500 kv substations, main power control room, and underground network transformer vaults. The power grid environments are modeled using a log-normal shadowing path loss model channel with realistic parameters. The network is simulated and performance is evaluated using packet delivery ratio, communication delay, and energy consumption. The simulation results have revealed that different environments have considerable impacts on performance of WSNs which make it suitable for most applications that need low data rate with low reliability requirements.

A HYBRID FUZZY SYSTEM BASED COOPERATIVE SCALABLE AND SECURED LOCALIZATION SCHEME FOR WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKS

Abhishek Kumar,

Nurture Education Solutions Private Limited, India.


ABSTRACT

Localization entails position estimation of sensor nodes by employing different techniques and mathematical computations. Localizable sensors also form an inherent part in the functioning of IoT devices and robotics. In this article, the author extends1 a novel scheme for node localization implemented using a hybrid fuzzy logic system to trace the node locations inside the deployment region, presented by the Abhishek Kumar et. al. The results obtained were then optimized using Gauss Newton Optimization to improve the localization accuracy by 50% to 90% vis-à-vis weighted centroid and other fuzzy based localization algorithms. This article attempts to scale the proposed scheme for large number of sensor nodes to emulate somewhat real world scenario by introducing cooperative localization in previous presented work. The study also analyses the effectiveness of such scaling by comparing the localization accuracy. In next section, the article incorporates security in the proposed cooperative localization approach to detect malicious nodes/anchors by mutual authentication using El Gamel digital Signature scheme. A detailed study of the impact of incorporating security and scaling on average processing time and localization coverage has also been performed. The processing time increased by a factor of 2.5s for 500 nodes (can be attributed to more number of iterations and computations and large deployment area with small radio range of nodes) and coverage remained almost equal, albeit slightly low by a factor of 1% to 2%. Apart from these, the article also discusses the impact of adding extra functionalities in the proposed hybrid fuzzy system based localization scheme on processing time and localization accuracy. Lastly, this study also briefs about how the proposed scalable, cooperative and secure localization scheme tackles the type of attacks that pose threat to localization.

ABSTRACT

In this dynamic world, communication is a sine qua non for development. Communication represents sharing of information which can be local or remote. Though local communications may occur face to face between individuals remote communications take place among people over long distances. Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) are becoming an interesting part of research due to the increasing growth of wireless devices (laptops, tablets, mobiles etc.) and as well as wireless internet facilities like 4G/Wi-Fi.  A MANET is any infrastructure-less network formed by independent and self-configuring nodes. Each node acts as router. In order to send data, the source node initiates a routing process by using a routing protocol. The nature of the wireless medium is always insecure. So, during routing many attacks can take place. The main objective of an eavesdropper is to grab the confidential information in the network.  This secret information is used by a malicious node to perform further attacks. Here, the entire problem lies in identifying the eavesdropper because the eavesdropper acts a normal node in the network.  In this paper, we analyzed the impact of eavesdropper while executing an Ad hoc On Demand routing (AODV) protocol in MANETs. All the simulations are done using QualNet 5.1 network simulator. From the results, it is found that the network performance degrades in presence of an eavesdropper.

OPTIMAL DATA COLLECTION FOR A 2-LEVEL BALANCED WSN

John R Rankin,

Charles Sturt University Study Group Melbourne, Australia


ABSTRACT

Battery life is a drawback of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) but careful management of the network can provide optimum performance before batteries need replacing. This paper models and analyses the productivity and energy consumption of a 2-level balanced WSN. By optimizing the energy versus time curve first with respect to quiescent periods we obtain a curve of rest length as a function of the number of level two nodes and then by secondly optimizing this curve with respect to the number of remote nodes per level one sensor node, an overall optimum network management strategy is achieved. Programs were written to display the productivity and longevity curves and determine the optimum point if it exists.

NETWORK PERFORMANCE ENHANCEMENT WITH OPTIMIZATION SENSOR PLACEMENT IN WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORK

Gholamreza Farahani,

Iranian Research Organization for Science and Technology (IROST), Iran


ABSTRACT

From one side, sensor manufacturing technology and from other side wireless communication technology improvement has an effect on the growth and deployment of Wireless Network Sensor (WSN). The appropriate performance of WSN has abundant necessity which has dependent on the different parameters such as optimize sensor placement and structure of network sensor. The optimized placement in WSN not only would optimize number of sensors, but also help to reach to the more precise information. Therefore different solutions are proposed to reduce cost and increase life time of sensor networks that most of them are concentrated in the field of routing and information transmission. In this paper, places which they need new sensors placement or sensor movements are determined and then with applying these changes, performance of WSN will calculate. To achieve the optimum placement, the network should evaluate precisely and effective criteria on the performance should extract. Therefore the criteria should be ranked and after weighting with using AHP algorithms, with use of Geographical Information System (GIS), these weighted criteria will combined and in the locations which WSN doesn’t have enough performance, new sensor placement will create. New proposed method, improve 21.11% performance of WSN with sensor placement in the low performance locations. Also the number of added sensor is 26.09% which is lowest number of added sensors in comparison with other methods.
