We developed a field management system with a field server that helps decrease farmers workload. It will be also enable the transfer of knowledge to the next generation of farmers in Japan. In order to reduce the burden of agricultural work, less frequent maintenance of the field server is desired. In this paper, we explain construction method of a local wireless network to cut the power consumption...
Accessing the Internet through Wi-Fi networks offers an inexpensive alternative for offloading data from mobile broadband connections. Businesses such as fast food restaurants, coffee shops, hotels, and airports, provide complimentary Internet access to their customers through Wi-Fi networks. Clients can connect to the Wi-Fi hotspot using different wireless devices. However, network administrators...
We present an approach to tracking the behaviour of an attacker on a decoy system, where the decoy communicates with the real system only through low energy bluetooth. The result is a low-cost solution that does not interrupt the live system, while limiting potential damage. The attacker has no way to detect that they are being monitored, while their actions are being logged for further investigation...
With the spread of social networks and mobile applications (apps), the amount of sensitive information shared across Internet increased considerably. Although the majority of this information is encrypted, many apps still transmit sensitive data in plain text, e.g., using HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol). Seemingly trivial information, if collected together, can leak out important data about a user...
In this paper, we propose a novel QoE-driven centralized scheduling framework to satisfy the differentiated quality of experience (QoE) requirements of cellular users for HTTP-based video streaming transmission. The framework jointly considers the comprehensive information from the video server side (video coding rates and QoE parameters), the user side (video playback buffer occupancy), and the time-varying...
This paper presents new approach for unobtrusive indoor fall detection by an IR thermal array sensor. Unlike existing methods that run fall detection at server and require high communication and processing rates, we perform fall detection within the sensor node by a computationally inexpensive algorithm that signals the server only when a fall occurs. Experiments with prototype design show that such...
We introduce the design, calibration, and validation of a wearable, wireless, and secure air quality monitoring sensor system that is integrated with a smartphone application and back-end server for realtime data collection. To this end, an Alphasense OPC-N2 optical air quality monitoring sensor was integrated with a wireless hardware platform and real-time smartphone application, which sent particulate...
This paper presents a wireless intrusion prevention tool for distributed denial of service attacks DDoS. This tool, called Wireless Distributed IPS WIDIP, uses a different collection of data to identify attackers from inside a private network. WIDIP blocks attackers and also propagates its information to other wireless routers that run the IPS. This communication behavior provides higher fault tolerance...
Internet of vehicles (IoVs) emerges as a promising technology to facilitate vehicular wireless communication by approving vehicle-to-everything (V2X) services for intelligent transportation systems including vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V), vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) and vehicle-to-pedestrian (V2P) services. V2V networks have been rapidly developed to support short distance data transmission among vehicles...
With the continuous progress of rural construction, the problem of rural drinking water pollution is increasingly prominent. In view of water pollution, a design of rural drinking water monitoring system based on wireless sensor networks is proposed that nodes take STM32 as the core chip and WLK01L39 as well as its peripheral circuits are used as wireless communication modules and Beidou S1216 is...
The ongoing trends in technology enable communication between devices through wired or wireless medium. The Internet of Things (IoT) and Machine to Machine (M2M) are such trends in technology which make the networked devices to communicate and act involving no human intervention. The Long Range (LoRa) is a Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) wireless technology which allows the networked devices to...
This paper presents the design and implementation of an Internet of Thing (IoT)-based system for indoor localization using Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology. Our solution consists of two main systems: an acquisition system and a central server, under the Client-Server paradigm and the IoT philosophy. We report the development of different modules: measurement (Bluetooth beacons), data aggregation...
Decentralized coded caching is applicable in scenarios where the server does not have enough knowledge about the entire cache network to perform centralized coordination during prefetching, such as when the server is uninformed of the number of active users and their identities in a wireless or mobile environment. Most of known decentralized strategies use random uncoded prefetching followed by coded...
Edge computing enables application services to leverage low-latency responses, e.g., for augmented reality. Infrastructure-as-a-service for edge computing (EC-IaaS) allows multiple application service providers (ASPs) to use a virtualized resource (i.e., virtual machines (VMs) and virtual networks) for various applications services on the common edge computing infrastructure. For ASPs, the proximity...
Recent advances in information communication technologies will yield new systems/devices for the visually impaired. To realize such systems/devices, location information is essential, especially for indoor application. This paper proposes an indoor location estimation method that uses cost-effective radio frequency nodes. The proposed method uses received signal strength values to estimate the distance...
Wireless video applications for Industrial Internet Of Things (IoT) are expanding into a multitude of new services. In the example of cloud processing for visual object detection, a camera is connected to the cloud via a local server and a data network, allowing the processing load to be handled in a distributed manner. This service model heavy taxes the data network with potentially unneeded traffic,...
Energy consumption has become a key issue for running large-scale data center networks (DCN) nowadays. Previous studies mainly focus on energy saving through reducing the number of active servers or network switches with traffic consolidation. However, since this mechanism benefits from the routing flexibility, both the gained energy savings and flow performance are limited by the conventional static...
This paper proposes a novel approach for visual query compression with a bank of transforms selected on Grassmann manifold. Instead of using single transform and quantization pipeline for all the features extracted from an image, we group the key point features according to their local embedding subspace geometry and organize them into different leaf nodes of a KD-Tree which was built from a large...
Machine-Type Communication (MTC) is the communication between machines through either wired or wireless links without human intervention. The LTE cellular networks with global connectivity and wide range of coverage provide infrastructure for developing MTC applications. However, the differences between conventional communications and MTC bring new technical challenges to the LTE. In this article,...
Achieving high QoE for AR applications on a mobile device is challenging because the required advanced computer vision and machine learning algorithms are computationally intensive by nature. Hence, some task for AR applications must be offloaded to more powerful remote servers. Offloading for mobile applications remains an active area of research. In the context of mobile AR applications which requires...
