Mainly, the medical domain takes advantages from the health service facility, the high flexibility and the mobility. However, interferences from coexisting wireless networks may lose critical informations and greatly affect on network reliability. In this paper, we are conducting to improve coexistence between WBAN based IEEE 802.15.4 protocol and WIFI. We adopt multi-hop routing to ensure reliability , connectivity and battery life. Then we investigate different effects of transmit power, transmission frequency and packet size on WBAN performances under heavy and real interferences circumstances. We propose a well suited model and simple adaptive algorithm which adjust dynamically its parameters with received performances indicators.

ICN provides ubiquitous and transparent in-network content caching in order to enhance network performance and reduce content retrieval latency. In this regard, several cache strategies have been proposed, most of them are neither distributed in nature nor scalable in large-scale networks. In this paper, we design a distributed and efficient content caching scheme for 5G-enabled ICN networks, namely Cache and Split (CnS). CnS is designed to make a trade-off between the cache utilization and the content delivery time based on the number of received demands and content popularity. We evaluate our scheme using various performance metrics against different caching strategies. The obtained results prove an improvement in the cache utilization, with fast data retrieval, and enhancements in the content cache distribution.

Named Data Networking (NDN) is one of the most recent and active ICN architectures that provides a clean-slate approach for Internet communication. NDN provides intrinsic content security where security is directly provided to the content instead of communication channel. Among other security aspects, Access Control (AC) rules specify the privileges for the entities that can access the content. In TCP/IP-based AC systems, due to the client-server communication model, the servers control which client can access a particular content. In contrast, ICN-based networks use content names to drive communication and decouple the content from its original location. This phenomenon leads to the loss of control over the content, causing different challenges for ...

Moreover, the inherent in-network caching and computing features in ICN relaxes the end-to-end connectivity between consumers and producers (this helps networking, computation, and power efficiency as Hadoop nodes will use ICN services). Yet, building such a complex system needs new definitions and mappings on the architecture side. It needs also a flattening of the components and an optimization relative to data flow and computation performance. These issues are presented in this paper. Optimal optimization algorithms are then proposed, implemented and evaluated to improve the overall network performance. Experiments demonstrate that ICN support of Hadoop is a feasible architecture and show to improve the performance of Hadoop systems and reduce the end-to-end consumer delay.

Applying Artificial Intelligence approaches to exploit this data seems to be promising. In this paper, we propose a dual deep neural network architecture. It is used to classify time series and to predict future data. It is essentially based on Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) algorithms for accurate time series prediction and on deep neural network, classifiers to classify input streams. It is shown to work on different domains (cellular, energy management, and transportation systems). Cloud architecture is used for IoT data collection and our algorithm is applied on real-time energy data for accurate energy classification and prediction.

ArXiv, 2017

Recent advances in microelectronics have enabled the realization of Wireless Body Area Networks (... more Recent advances in microelectronics have enabled the realization of Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs). Increasing the transmission power of WBAN's nodes improves the Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio (SINR), and hence decreases the bit error probability. However, this increase may impose interference on nodes within the same WBAN or on other nodes of nearby coexisting WBANs, as these WBANs may use similar frequencies. Due to co-channel interference, packet collisions and retransmissions are increased and consequently, the power consumption of the individual WBANs may increase correspondingly. To address this problem, we adopt the approach of two-hop cooperative communication due to its efficiency in power savings. In this paper, we propose a cooperative power control-based algorithm, namely, IMA, for interference mitigation among the individual sensors of a single WBAN. Basically, our approach selects an optimal set of relays from the nodes within each WBAN to mitigate t...

In vehicular networks, where vehicles are generally moving network elements and follow a content-oriented fashion, it will be fitting to use the ICN paradigm to improve the content dissemination and reduce the content retrieval latency. By applying this concept to such networks, we focus in this paper on the content delivery issue and propose an optimized caching scheme that proactively predicts the moving direction of a vehicle and brings into the next encountered RSU cache only the required content of interest to that vehicle. According to the obtained results from different measured metrics, the proposed solution outperforms in many ways other proposed schemes in the literature. For instance, our scheme improves drastically the cache utilization, enhances the network delay, and boosts the content diversity and distribution.

A number of solutions such as Named Data Networking have become available. Building application services and integrating other technological design on top of ICNs is a challenging task, and has many open issues, hence an efficient distributed architecture needs to be developed. In this paper, we address the case of using IoT architecture targeted for ambient assisted living applications, on top of named data networking. We have proposed a complete architecture and implementation details for device & service networking, communication model, management, and naming. Within each model we have proposed mechanisms which support node mobility, hand-off, packet design, and push & pull data services without changing NDN data exchange model. This architecture is flexible, scalable, and can be adapted to other application specific IoT networks. We also have implemented the proposal on NDN simulator, and evaluated different services. The communication overhead and mobility implications have been studied to show effectiveness of new services with negligible cost to the network.
