IoT / Cloud / Big data / Mobile (ICBM) is a new technology paradigm that merges IoT, cloud, big data, and mobile technologies. In this study, we designed and implemented a smart farm environment management system that can collect and monitor information on crop growth utilizing ICBM technology. The wireless system proposed in this paper not only collects environmental data from the inside of a vast...
Recent proposals enhances Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) with Software Defined Networking (SDN) practices, introducing new innovative network control strategies and protocols based on a central control logic, i.e., enabling WSNs as crucial facilities for the Internet of Things (IoT). In this direction, we demonstrate CORAL-SDN, an SDN solution for WSNs which: (i) uses intelligent centralized control...
Topology control is a crucial process for an efficient operation of a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN). The usage of WSNs in the Internet of Things (IoT) emerges new research challenges and novel applications. Recent WSNs proposals enhanced with Software Defined Networking (SDN) practices introduce new innovative network control strategies and protocols based on central control logic. This paper introduces...
This project will present a wireless sensors network. Each sensor node measures noise and CO2 pollution levels inside a specific urban area and a coordinator node stores these measurements in a database made with Java. Finally the obtained results are presented.
This paper presents a practical methodology for designing, implementing and deploying IPv6 networks. We use a virtual lab to simulate topologies for different scenarios. These topologies are designed programmatically and then, tested for connectivity and efficiency. In particular, these scenarios include translation mechanisms such as DNS64 and NAT64, tunneling mechanisms such as 6to4 and 6RD and...
In this paper, the consensus problem of second order multi-agent systems with disturbance is studied under heterogenous position and velocity topologies. The cases that the disturbances are generated from linear exosystems and nonlinear exosystems are considered, respectively. Linear disturbance observer and dynamic-gain-based nonlinear disturbance observer using only the velocity information of the...
The multi-tracking problem of second-order multi-agent system with communication delay is investigated in this paper. An intermittent control protocol is proposed on the basis of only relative position measurement, where the information of agent is quantized before transmission using stochastic quantization scheme. On the basis of algebraic graph theory, stochastic quantization and stability theory,...
Due to its modularity and scalability, modular multilevel converter is a promising topology for medium voltage applications, such as energy storage or motor drives. Because of the large number of modules, the wiring can become complex if the conventional star topology communication network is used. To solve this issue, a communication link that uses a ring topology to connect the central controller...
In this paper, we discuss the couple-group consensus problem for heterogeneous multi-agent systems with communication and input time delays. From the perspective of the competitive relationship between agents, a novel group consensus protocol is designed which is distinctive to most of the existing works based on the cooperative networks. Specifically, we relax the restrictive assumptions existed...
This work studies centrality metrics as forwarding load predictors, for both unicast and multicast traffic, within dynamic ad hoc network topologies. We present results from a series of emulation experiments based around an emergency response mobile network scenario. From collected temporal topological and traffic data, we calculate a rank correlation measure between predictive centrality metrics...
This paper studies the networked estimation of the state of a linear dynamical system. The focus is on developing a distributed estimation algorithm which could achieve the same performance as the centralized ones. A communication protocol which formally describes the network topology is introduced. By performing this protocol, the sum of the information vector contributions is computed, which is...
With the fast development of cloud computing and online business of Internet, the importance of data center is gradually increasing. Conventional Ethernet protocols can hardly meet the scalability and performance requirements of data centers (DCs). The traditional method solves the congestion problem by reducing the network throughput. In this paper, based on software-defined networks (SDNs) technology,...
Future tactical communications involves high data rate best effort traffic working alongside real-time traffic for time-critical applications with hard deadlines. Unavailable bandwidth and/or untimely responses may lead to undesired or even catastrophic outcomes. Ethernet-based communication systems are one of the major tactical network standards due to the higher bandwidth, better utilization, and...
Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) is becoming more important in automotive and industrial sectors. There is no clear strategy how to use TSN to improve and migrate the established real-time protocols without excluding legacy devices. This paper presents a realistic concept to integrate TSN into automation networks. We choose Sercos as a deterministic Industrial-Ethernet protocol to be extended with...
A communication protocol for fog computing should be efficient, lightweight and customizable. In this work we focus in a communication protocol for fog nodes composed of wireless sensors, which are spatially distributed autonomous sensors monitoring physical or environmental conditions. Problems with data congestion and limited physical resources are common in these networks. For the optimization...
Current approaches to Information-Centric Networking (ICN) facilitate the publication and retrieval of content in a network through a variety of discovery, caching and forwarding approaches, thus defining an equivalent of the data plane in the current Internet infrastructure. However, in contrast to the current Internet, ICN lacks a definition of the control plane for the management of the operation...
In this paper, we consider the privacy preserving problem in an agreement network under interception attacks. First, we introduce a consensus protocol with privacy preserving, where each node hides their initial states into a set of random sequences, and then injects the sequences into the process of consensus. Second, we assume that an attacker with limited power can intercept the data transmitted...
Communications within power converters is becoming increasingly important particularly with the evolution of multilevel converters having distributed control structures. In the not so distant past, communications were used primarily for reference point setting and monitoring. Currently however communication is taking on an integral role in the control of the power converters particularly those with...
Software Defined Networking (SDN) is rapidly gaining acceptance and use in terrestrial networks but little research has been done to apply it to aerial networks. This paper describes an investigation into five open-source controllers using a specific set of criteria based on the characteristics of these networks. A preliminary qualitative investigation compares the controllers based on their state...
It is a hot topic to make full use of channel resources in the case of limited hardware resources on the Internet. Channel allocation in multi-interface multi-channel nodes can effectively solve the problem. Extending the single-interface single-channel OLSR protocol to multi-interface multi-channel OLSR protocol and distributed channel negotiation on multiinterface multi-channel OLSR protocol can...
