Quality of Service provisioning for UMTS network users with immediate and advance radio resource reservations

Wideband code division multiple access (WCDMA) is selected as the air interface scheme for 3G wireless networks. This scheme offers a high data rate that makes the wireless networks a suitable environment for real-time packet data services. 3G networks can be used to deliver multimedia traffic with guaranteed quality of service, but faces the scalability challenge in terms of the number of connections that can be setup in the cellular network. The more connections take place in WCDMA based network, the more interference is created, which yields more QoS degradation. To handle this issue, several algorithms that are collectively alleviate the QoS degradation have been developed and implemented. In this paper, we provide a system link simulator that models the WCDMA cellular network with the necessary radio resource management algorithms. The downlink direction has been simulated as it is usually the limiting link in setting up multimedia sessions, and interactive web sessions. The simulation environment provides, through the implementation of new wrap-around technique, a fair source of intra-cell and inter-cell interference, and avoids session disconnections due to the limited simulation area. Then, we suggest an admission control algorithm for admitting immediate and advance radio resource reservation requests. The admission control algorithm decision is based on the amount of interference that the new request will add to the network. The algorithm relies on the radio resource reservation states that stores all admitted immediate and advance sessions.     

Decoding digital transformational outsourcing: The role of service providers’ capabilities

The business process outsourcing industry has got disrupted, first by the significant shift in value creation activities from the clients to the service providers, and second by pervasive digital penetration, resulting in the emergence of Digital Transformational Outsourcing (DTO). Service providers now play a more significant role, making their capabilities important. In the new context, service providers require a uniquely different set of dynamic capabilities to handle end-to-end business functions on behalf of their clients while delivering digital value propositions.We study 26 of the largest global business process outsourcing providers to conceptualise and identify six dynamic capabilities of service providers salient in the new context, i.e., consultative, orchestration, insights, network management, knowledge access, and standardisation. Interviews conducted with industry experts provided evidence in support of the identified dynamic capabilities. A novel firm capability dataset was created using secondary data, and using fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA), we identify configurations for high and low performance and find them to vary by the firm's broad/narrow scope.     

Finite-horizon state estimation for time-varying complex networks with random coupling strengths under Round-Robin protocol

In this paper, the problem of finite-horizon H_∞ state estimation is investigated for a class of discrete time-varying complex networks with multiplicative noises and random coupling strengths. The network nodes and estimators are connected via a constrained communication network which allows only one node to send measurement data at each transmission instant. The Round-Robin protocol is introduced to determine which node obtains the access to the network at certain transmission instant. The aim of the addressed problem is to design a set of time-varying estimator parameters such that the prescribed H_∞ performance is guaranteed over a finite horizon. By using the stochastic analysis approach and completing-the-square method, sufficient conditions are derived for the existence of the desired estimators in terms of the solution to backward recursive Riccati difference equations. Finally, a numerical example is provided to validate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed results.     

Access to UK academic networks

Computer networks are assuming an increasingly important role in the transmission and manipulation of information. The implementation of the Joint Academic Network (JANET) provides for the first time a truly integrated, private academic network linking all UK universities. Based on a set of standard communication protocols, JANET has largely superseded earlier regional networks, and their associated interconnection procedures which were complex and unwieldy. An in-depth survey of six UK universities and two polytechnic institutions was undertaken with the objective of examining the principal issues to emerge in the field of academic networking in Great Britain. The survey also considered the implications of current network developments for new categories of services and users that are likely to emerge (by contrast with existing network traffic which is primarily associated with data processing and computation).     

A semantic Bayesian network approach to retrieving information with intelligent conversational agents

As access to information becomes more intensive in society, a great deal of that information is becoming available through diverse channels. Accordingly, users require effective methods for accessing this information. Conversational agents can act as effective and familiar user interfaces. Although conversational agents can analyze the queries of users based on a static process, they cannot manage expressions that are more complex. In this paper, we propose a system that uses semantic Bayesian networks to infer the intentions of the user based on Bayesian networks and their semantic information. Since conversation often contains ambiguous expressions, the managing of context and uncertainty is necessary to support flexible conversational agents. The proposed method uses mixed-initiative interaction (MII) to obtain missing information and clarify spurious concepts in order to understand the intention of users correctly. We applied this to an information retrieval service for websites to verify the usefulness of the proposed method.

The DT-Polynomial Approach to Discrete Time-Varying Network Flow Problems

This paper introduces a polynomial operator called the DT-polynomial as a novel approach to network flow problems. The class of networks dealt with is time-varying in the sense that the capacity, cost, and travel-time of each edge may vary in discrete time. The Dt-polynomial is a polynomial in two operators, D (delay) and T (time), which is used for describing the time-varying transmission characteristics. The paper starts with the mathematics involving the DT-polynomials. A new shortest arrival route algorithm is presented, and its computational complexity is found to be favorable in comparison with others such as Dijkstra's method and the potential method derived from Ford-Fulkerson's technique. Furthermore, a dynamic flow problem is formulated and analyzed in terms of DT-polynomials, and a latest-departure earliest-arrival schedule is given. Finally, a modified DT-polynomial is applied to digital filter networks.     

Secrecy analysis for IoT relaying networks deploying NOMA with energy harvesting

In this paper, we investigate the physical-layer security for an Internet of Things (IoT) relaying network employing non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) in the context of non-linear energy harvesting. In particular, a power-constrained source transmits its confidential information to a destination via an IoT device, which first decodes the received signal and then forwards the decoded data together with its own information using the NOMA technique to their respective destinations, while an eavesdropper is overhearing this transmission. Considering the scenario that both the power-constrained source and the IoT device are assumed to work under non-linear energy harvesting modes, and are capable of harvesting energy from a power beacon with a time switching protocol, both analytical and asymptotic expressions for secrecy outage probability as well as the analytical expression for the probability of strictly positive secrecy capacity are derived. In addition, those expressions are also verified with Monte-Carlo simulations.     

多源单汇无线传感器网络的局部路由算法

无线传感器网络节点有着严格的能量限制，目前已有的许多路由协议假定了节点知道网络的全局信息或者让节点根据路由表进行路由。这些方式均会使网络产生较多的通信负荷，增大能量开销。结合多源单汇路由的特点，本文提出了几种局部路由算法。该算法中，节点仅根据目标节点与邻居节点的地理位置、剩余能量等信息，决定下一跳节点，最终建立到达目的节点的路径。本文首次引入了带约束后跳发射的思想，并将这种后跳发射与已有的算法相结合得到新的后跳路由算法。计算机仿真实验表明，在有数据融合的网络中，带约束的后跳－为难度路由算法使得网络的生存时间最长，较其余算法增加了网络11%和14%的工作周期数。最后又将局部路由算法进行合理改进，得到最小化平均为难度的算法，应用于无数据融合的网络中，效果很好。

What IoT devices and applications should be connected? Predicting user behaviors of IoT services with node2vec embedding

User-created automation applets to connect IoT devices and applications have become popular and widely available. Exploring those applets enables us to grasp the patterns of how users are utilizing and maximizing the power of connection by themselves, which can deliver practical implications for IoT service design. This study builds an IoT application network with the data of the IFTTT(if this then that) platform which is the most popular platform for self-automation of IoT services. The trigger-action relationships of the IFTTT applets currently activated are collected and used to construct an IoT application network whose nodes are IoT service channels, and links represent their connections. The constructed IoT network is then embedded by the node2vec technique, an algorithmic framework for representational learning of nodes in networks. Clustering the embedded nodes produces the four clusters of IoT usage patterns: Smart Home, Activity Tracking, Information Digest, and Lifelogging & Sharing. We also predict the IoT application network using node2vec-based link prediction with several machine learning classifiers to identify promising connections between IoT applications. Feasible service scenarios are then generated from predicted links between IoT applications. The findings and the proposed approach can offer IoT service providers practical implications for enhancing user experiences and developing new services.
