Industrial Control Systems (ICS) and their networking infrastructure have been the target of an increasing number of cyber-attacks over the past years. In 2015, researchers proposed to employ SDN techniques to improve the security of ICS networks. To avoid that all packets are forwarded along the same path in such a network, their multipath routing strategy alternates between several paths from a...
According to International Roadmap for Devices and Systems (IRDS), after 2024, there is no headroom for 2D geometry scaling. By 2024, IRDS predicts that monolithic 3D integration technology will be one of the most critical performance boosters. This prediction follows the highly promising and relatively recent improvements on the fabrication of second-tier devices on a single substrate. In this study,...
A MANET or Mobile Ad-Hoc Network is decentralized in nature and it is basically a collection of heterogeneous mobile nodes which are autonomous and can communicate among themselves over the wireless link. In this infrastructure-less network, all the nodes dynamically route the packets by themselves with help of some protocols for sending or receiving the packet information. The ZRP or Zone Routing...
Digital circuit technologies at nanoscale levels increase the likelihood of permanent, transient and intermittent faults. As a result, the demand for fault tolerance strategies is the main subject of many types of research targeting System-on-Chip (SoC) designs. In particular, retransmission mechanisms are one of the most used solutions in the Network-on-Chip (NoC) operation, but these mechanisms...
Delay Tolerant Networks (DTNs) are sparse mobile ad-hoc networks in which there is typically no complete path between the source and destination. Although many routing algorithms for DTNs have been proposed, prior works generally focus on utilizing the delivery probability of network nodes and the social network structure for data forwarding. In this work, we investigate the use of the inter-contact...
When configuring a delay tolerant network (DTN), there are many aspects that need to be taken into consideration for an effective and efficient network. One aspect is a buffer management strategy. Buffer strategies are used to determine which packets need to be forwarded or dropped. This paper will focus on the variety of buffer management strategies available, providing a comprehensive survey and...
Delay Tolerant Networks (DTNs) differ from the traditional Mobile Ad Hoc networks (MANETs) in that DTNs are not always interconnected. The issue of routing data in a DTN is considered here. Many routing protocols exist for DTNs. Some are based on comparing nodes to each other, whereas others focus on the internal properties of the messages they hold. There are wide ranges of protocols, and they perform...
E-health is one of the domains which will need more and more IoT solutions in the future, as it requires short delays for life-dependency situations and safe local storage spaces for privacy matters. The emergency context demands efficient communication and computing capacities, and the cloud vision as well as traditional TCP/IP way of communication cannot really suit these requirements. New approaches...
The quality of service multicast routing problem (QoSMRP) is a very interesting research issue for transmission in communication networks. It is known to be an NP-hard problem, so many heuristic algorithms have been employed for solving this problem. This paper proposes two hybrid approaches based on the hybridization of Firefly algorithm (FA) with Quantum Evolutionary algorithm (QEA) to solve the...
In this work, we model route updates as part of Quality of Service (QoS) Virtual Network Function (VNF) in Software-Defined Networking (SDN) architecture. In SDN, the control plane and the data plane are decoupled. This allows high flexibility by providing abstractions for network management applications and being directly programmable. However, reconfiguration and updates of a network are sometimes...
This paper investigates the network function virtualization (NFV)-enabled multicast problem, and proposes a steiner tree-based algorithm to reduce the cost of virtual network function (VNF) deployment and routing. In the algorithm, to minimize the bandwidth consumption, the Steiner tree is constructed by taking all the destination nodes as the terminals. Then a interconnection node of the tree is...
Collecting data in time is crucial for the wireless sensor network (WSN), especially for some WSNs who suffer from inconstant link connections. Our observations in the intertidal wireless sensor network (IT-WSN) reveal that end-to-end delay is severe and a big challenge to be solved. Existing routing protocols perform well in WSNs with good link quality but show deficiency when node states change...
Industrial IoT networks are typically used for monitoring systems and supporting control loops, as well as for movement detection systems, process control and factory automation. To this end, data generated by monitoring IoT devices are collected, elaborated and sent to controllers and actuators. The routing of data from IoT sensors to actuators is an integral part of any large-scale industrial network...
Multilayer Clustered Designing Algorithm is exploited to present MCDA - Hot Spot algorithm; a technique to increase the network throughput by alleviating the impact of hotspot issue on network lifetime. The network nodes in the hot spot region are in a flat layer form in contrast to rest of the network nodes that are grouped into clusters. This design substantially helps in achieving goal above. This...
Although IEEE 802.11p technology is standardized for road safety and efficiency applications, the channel congestion problem is its key weakness necessitating distributed congestion control (DCC) algorithms on different layers of the communication stack. In this paper, we propose DCC-enabled Contention based Forwarding scheme targeting multi-hop dissemination of Decentralised Event Notification Messages...
In this paper we analyze the applicability of onion routing on Predictable Delay-Tolerant Networks. We show that a simple approach for providing anonymity through the application of a simple onion routing can be feasible in some scenarios. To that end we evaluate our proposal on a network based on a city public bus transportation network.
BTLive is a novel, unique, mesh/push-based peer-to-peer (P2P) live video streaming mechanism. Previous studies show that it achieves significantly lower streaming delays than other approaches but suffers from a high overhead, where peers receive up to 33% duplicate video chunks. Other P2P streaming mechanisms, most of which are either mesh/pull or tree/push-based, do not experience duplicates at such...
In mobile Cognitive Radio Networks (CRNs), the frequent link breakage and wireless interference urged the need for novel stable routing solutions. In this paper, we propose STAR, a stable routing protocol that aims at selecting interference-free and durable paths. We investigate the particular Hidden interfering Primary User (HIPU) problem caused by the un-detectable presence of the primary user in...
This paper studies the problem of routing in a multilayer (communication and social) network. Network protocols, such as link state routing and its variants, heavily used in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) cannot sustain robustness and efficiency as the topological information becomes easily stale with fast network dynamics. Attempts to collect and exchange excessive network information would result...
Delay Tolerant Network (DTN) is a type of network that permanent connections between nodes are not always available. Routing in DTN uses store-carry-and-forward scheme, where nodes store and carry data until a suitable message carrier appears. Positive social characteristics such as centrality and friendship can be used to make a better routing decision in DTN. However, negative social characteristics...
