Welcome Message from the WirelessVITAE Steering Board Chairand GISFI Founding Chair

Wireless VITAE is the first international conferencebroadly addressing the wireless developments in theworld by fusing the communities from four differ-ent technical areas, namely Wireless Communica-tions, Vehicular Technology, Information Theory andAerospace and Electronic Systems. The conferencewas launched in May 2009 in Aalborg, Denmark. Itis my great pleasure to welcome you to the SecondWireless VITAE conference, which is held this yearunder the patronage of the Global ICT Standardis-ation Forum for India (GISFI) in the beautiful his-torical city of Chennai, India.

Wireless VITAE 2011 carries the theme of Global,Personalised, Cloud and Green Communications.The conference scope reflects the latest research anddevelopment trends of the modern Information andCommunication Technology (ICT). With the totalof more than 250 high quality papers part of theTechnical Programme, and 5 Tutorials, the WorldClass Innovation business meeting, the workshops,and the Fourth GISFI Standardisation Series meet-ing, the conference becomes a unique forum for top-notch networking and discussions on research, devel-opment and entrepreneurship aspects that can bringabout the future Internet world. We use and rely onhigh quality mobile data communications every dayto exchange or search for information, share data,do business or socialize, travel, regardless of loca-tion. Such societal evolution has totally changedthe requirements and consequently the concepts ofthe original telecommunication science and business.While, traditional telecommunication systems were

designed for a single technology, the ICT-based in-frastructure builds on a suite of technologies, devices,equipment, facilities, networks and applications forsupport of communication at a distance, often with-out human intervention.

Wireless VITAE 2011 brings forward the advancesin both, basic telecommunication research and theapplied ICT field to capture the rationale and sig-nificance for the basic science and the modern so-ciety of delving into the yet-to-be-discovered-in-fullpotential of the next generation Internet-based com-munication infrastructure.

I would like to thank all technical contributors,special guests, and the organizing committees inboth India and Denmark for their dedicated effortto make the Wireless VITAE 2011 a great success. Iam confident that, Wireless VITAE 2011 will bringforth new ideas, positive experience and fruitful col-laboration to all conference participants.

Internet of Things:Opportunities and Challenges

Full day tutorial by Dr. Neeli Rashmi Prasad, Professor, Head of Research, Dr. Zheng-Hua Tan, Professor, Dr.Albena Mihovska and Dr. Rasmus Hjorth Nielsen.Center for TeleInFrastruktur, Aalborg University, DenmarkMonday, February 28, 2011 - 9:00-16:00

Abstract

The Internet is a global network connecting millions of computers in which a user, if having permission, atany computer can get information from any other computer. Analogously, the Internet of Things (IoT) canbe defined as a global system interconnecting physical and digital objects where object-object and object-userinteraction is potentially made available. The objects are well beyond only computers and they are our cars,luggage, household applicants, books and humans. Each object in the IoT has its own identity and these objectsare identifiable either through the augmentation of tiny identifying devices (e.g. radio frequency identification)or through natural feature identification (e.g. biometric-based identification). Many of these objects will haveIP addresses assigned, be part of a large system and use sensors to gather information from their environmentand even use actuators to interaction with the environment.

The most significant step from the Internet towards the IoT is the inclusion of the non-computer physicalobjects, emphasizing the importance of interfacing with the physical world. Technologies enabling this includeradio frequency identification (RFID), sensor networks, and smart mobile devices, which provide means toconnect and detect objects through tagging and sensing and thus enabling tremendously more things to beable to join the IoT. At the same time, this presents a challenge to identification and identity management.Interconnecting vast amount of diverse objects distributed globally raises a range of research topics within thearea of communications and networks which provide the fundamental infrastructure.

The consumers of today’s networked world are swamped with information coming from a myriad of applica-tions and services available on their devices, communication infrastructures and the Internet. The informationoverload will soon be magnified when the IoT becomes a reality, i.e. objects, smart devices, services, sensors,etc., interacting with the user and themselves to provide services or information. This highlights the importanceof data capture and processing, service and application development (service oriented architecture (SOA) andcloud communications). Naturally, privacy and security is demanded.

With the global collaboration across governments, industries and institutions, the concept of IoT will becomea reality in the coming years. Every object in IoT will have a unique identity, creating an addressable networkof computers, sensors, actuators and mobile devices. Having the capacity of addressing each other and verifyingtheir identities, these objects will be able to exchange information. This will have a huge impact on the societyand will transform our work and life.

Advances in microelectronics and communication technologies have made it possible to attach tiny computersto everyday objects and add communications capability to the mix, enabling them to connect with the Internetand thus giving rise to the term Internet of Things (IoT). Driven by the wide deployment of RFID tags andsensors, the IoT is expected to evolve to include everything from everyday objects like cars and fridges tointelligent devices with high computing power.

In the tutorial, we identify and review technologies that are essential to the realisation of the IoT, and discussopportunities and challenges ahead.

Topics covered include: wireless sensor networks, RFID, 2D barcode, data processing, physical mobile inter-action, fusion of the digital and physical world, services and applications.

Modem Design

Full day tutorial by Dr. fred harris, Professor, San Diego State University, USA.Monday, February 28, 2011 - 9:00-16:00

Abstract

Modems perform the modulation and demodulation tasks required to process waveform signals that are trans-mitted through and are received from analog channels. The task they perform is conceptually simple; commu-nicate at a distance. The implementation has evolved over many years from simple broad-band radiators anddetectors to very sophisticated signal processing engines. We are so connected by radio, wire, and fiber channelswe are hardly able to be impressed by the technology in which we are immersed. This course emphasizes thephysical layer of a modem. Our emphasis is why do we do certain things and how do we do it. We comment thatmany legacy modems are sub optimal because they incorporate a number of compromises that were appropriatefor the time the compromises were invoked. Today, we have access to a wider range of tools and resources thatwhen applied to the design of a modern modem leads to systems that far outperform legacy receivers. To bebetter able to appreciate the processing performed in a modern modem we will follow the development of earlyand recent modem architectures. The goals of the presentation are:

1. Understand the functional subsystems of a modem.

2. Understand simulations of many modem functions, including spectral shaping, line-coding, modulation,automatic gain control, matched filtering, equalization, timing recovery, carrier recovery.

3. Understand and interpret various diagnostic and health indicator tests on signals observed in a modemsignal flow path. These include eye-diagrams, constellation diagrams, equalizer error profiles, and biterror rate plots.

4. Use MATLAB to design, test, and verify performance of simple modems.

5. Understand signal conditioning, sample rate effects, finite arithmetic effects, and ADC and DAC require-ments for modem systems.

6. Understand limitations and advantages of DSP based modems. Be able to identify realistic and non-realistic constraints and specifications.

7. Understand effects of numerical precision and requirements for data and coefficient bit width in differentalgorithmic sections of a modem.

Technologies for 4G WirelessSystems — WiMAX & LTE

Half day tutorial by Dr.M.S. Sricharan, Wipro Technologies, India.Monday, February 28, 2011 - 16:30-19:00

Abstract

Fourth generation wireless systems have the potential to change the way we communicate and collaborate to ac-complish business needs. The need of the hour is to provide a unified system that provides a seamless user expe-rience on the move. Systems beyond IMT-2000 claim to have the capability to support services/applications thatdemand very stringent performance requirements. Standardization bodies are trying to achieve this by adopt-ing cutting edge technologies and strategies that have evolved over the last few decades. WiMAX (802.16m)and LTE-Advanced (UMTS Release-10) are the mostly likely candidates to meet ITU defined IMT-Advancedperformance goals. Both WiMAX and LTE have lot of technical similarities primarily on the radio accessnetwork side. Both have adopted an OFDMA based physical layer. Channel based scheduling algorithms; linkadaptation techniques and hybrid ARQ are the common trait in these systems. Adaptive modulation and cod-ing scheme (AMC) is another popular feature in this system which aims to exploit the channel conditions andassignment, to improve channel capacity. The performance of these systems is further augmented by embracingmultiple antenna techniques. Flat network architecture and All-IP network are the buzzwords across standardsto achieve throughput expansion and to reduce the capital and operational expenditure. The cutting edgetechnologies/strategies listed above are critical to achieve the performance target set through IMT-Advanced.This tutorial presentation would provide a detailed view of the important technologies behind 4G systems andhow it is proposed to be implemented in IEEE-802.16m and LTE-Advanced.

Microwave Integrated CircuitComponents Design — Essentials

Half day tutorial by Dr. S. Raghavan, Professor, Department of Electronics and Communication EngineeringNational Institute of Technology, Trichy, IndiaMonday, February 28, 2011 - 16:30-19:00

Abstract

Microwave Engineering was considered as a war time secrecy till second world war and it was just after theGOLDEN PERIOD (1935–1945) of Microwaves, its applications started encompassing the non-military fieldsas well. Since then, the entire Microwave field has undergone tremendous revolution and gone through a seachange. Planar transmission lines are the back bones of Microwave Integrated Circuits (M.I.C.s). Stripline(Barrett and Barnes) was the first planar transmission line proposed in 1951. Microstrip followed it in thenext year. Then came Slot line (S.B. Cohn-1968), Coplanar Waveguide (C.P. Wen -1969) and then Fin line(Meir). Lumped equivalents of distributed theory of Microwaves play a vital role in the design of MicrowaveIntegrated Circuits. This simple phenomena along with the computer applications make everyone, especiallythe student community (who normally have aversion towards MICROWAVES) come forward to design theM.I.C. components and their integration will make the System design automatically done. Starting from theBasic principles of Microwave circuit theory, the usage of computer aided design (without using commercialsoftware), design of the components, drawing of the layout till the complete formation will be dealt. The topicsinclude S parameters, hybrids, power divider, backward wave coupler, Rat race coupler and Filters. At the endone should be able to design any microwave component in any planar transmission line of interest. In short ageneralized universal design of M.I.C. components and FILTERS will be dealt with.

Security for Machine-to-MachineCommunication: A 3GPP Perspective

Anand R. PrasadNEC Corporation

Machine-to-machine (M2M) communication is consid-ered to fall under the broad umbrella of Internet ofThings (IoT). A lot of work is happening in the fieldof M2M both in proprietary form and also in the form ofstandardization. Third Generation Partnership Project(3GPP), the committee that develops specification formost of mobile communications, is also working onM2M in the form of System Improvements for Machine-Type-Communication (SIMTC). In 3GPP the activityon SIMTC is being developed from the perspective ofimpact on mobile networks lead to system architectureimprovements and in parallel security issues / solutions.In this presentation we will discuss the activity in 3GPPin the field of M2M, as SIMTC, with focus on securityaspects.

Architecture for Internet of Things

Mini VasudevanEricsson

Internet of Things (IoT) is a concept that is evolvingwith modern Machine to Machine (M2M) services, ex-panding beyond the traditional one-to-one associationof devices and applications by transforming into a hori-zontal system of devices, networks, service enablers andapplications. IoT is hence becoming a global fabric of in-formation and services from sensors and actuators thattranscend the current offering of dedicated M2M services

and communication. Ubiquitous wireless networks isa key enabler for this, offering rapid service introduc-tion and reduced deployment costs for connected devices.However, the focus is now shifted to how the vast amountof sensor and actuator services can be exposed to an everincreasing amount of IoT applications with reuse of de-ployed infrastructures and devices. This shift is only pos-sible through making services and applications aware ofthe device-centric information in a standardized manner.This will open up incredible opportunities for business; atthe same time, offering improved functionality, efficiencyand enhanced environmental credentials. In this presen-tation, we introduce and describe an architecture andcorresponding technological building blocks that serveas key enablers for the future interconnected world ofthings and places. It is shown that this architecture of-fers the foundation for deploying heterogeneous devicesand integrating them across a homogeneous network andservice infrastructure. The current vertically integrateddomain silos are broken up allowing the infrastructureto be re-used across a variety of different applicationdomains.

Mobility Management for Wireless Internet

Ashutosh DuttaNIKSUN, USA

As mobile networks continue to grow and converge withthe Internet, new wireless devices and their use are out-numbering the use of fixed network. Mobility manage-ment needs to meet the requirements of existing andemerging network technologies. It may be supported indifferent layers of the network protocol stack. At theIP layer, Mobile IP, an IP-based mobility management,has the advantage of being applicable in any IP-basednetwork, but is faced with many deployment challenges.Numerous variants of Mobile IP have been proposed toaddress these challenges in different network environ-ments. The real test however is in deployment. Both3GPP and WiMAX have adopted only network-basedmobility management, which does not require changesto the IP stack of the mobile hosts. Research in mobilitymanagement has become more active, especially with themobile networks continuing to evolve from hierarchicaltowards more flattened network. This talk presents thebasics, recent advances, and future directions for mobilityprotocols at various layers (e.g., network, transport andapplication). It provides taxonomy of mobility protocols.It illustrates a few scenarios to describe applicability ofmobility protocols to various network environments.

A Simulation Analysis of Flooding Attack inMANET using NS-3

Alokparna Bandyopadhyay, Satyanarayana Vuppalaand Prasenjit ChoudhuryNational Institute of Technology, Durgapur West

Bengal, India

Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) is set up with a groupof mobile wireless nodes and is devoid of any dedicatedrouters or base stations. The wireless nodes move aroundfreely and mutually cooperate with each other in rout-ing and forwarding packets without the support of anyfixed infrastructure or centralized administration. Thetopology is highly dynamic, making the routing proce-dure more difficult and insecure. The wireless nodes ofMANET are thus susceptible to compromise and are par-ticularly vulnerable to denial of service (DoS) attackslaunched by malicious nodes or intruders. Flooding at-tack is one such type of DoS attack, in which a compro-mised node floods the entire network by sending a largenumber of fake RREQs to nonexistent nodes in the net-work, thus resulting in network congestion. In this paper,the security of MANET AODV routing protocol is inves-tigated by identifying the impact of flooding attack on it.A simulation study of the effects of flooding attack on theperformance of the AODV routing protocol is presented.The simulation environment is implemented by using theNS-3 network simulator. It is observed that due to thepresence of such malicious nodes, average percentage ofpacket loss in the network, average routing overhead andaverage bandwidth requirement- all increases, thus de-grading the performance of MANET significantly.

Defending against Worm Hole Attacks inMulticast Routing Protocols for MobileAd hoc Networks

E.A. Mary Anita, V. Thulasi Bai, E.L. Kiran Rajand B. PrabhuSriram Engineering College, Chennai, India

Security issues are paramount in wireless networkseven more so than in wired networks. A particularly

devastating attack in wireless networks is the wormholeattack, where two or more malicious colluding nodescreate a higher level virtual tunnel in the network, whichis employed to transport packets between the tunnel endpoints. These tunnels emulate shorter links in the net-work in which adversary records transmitted packets atone location in the network, tunnels them to another lo-cation, and retransmits them into the network. Our fo-cus in this paper is to analyze the performance of reactivemulticast routing protocol On Demand Multicast Rout-ing Protocol (ODMRP) under the influence of worm holenodes under different scenarios and design a Worm HoleSecure ODMRP (WHS-ODMRP) by applying certificatebased authentication mechanism in the route discoveryprocess. The proposed protocol reduces the packet lossdue to malicious nodes to a considerable extent therebyenhancing the performance.

Multiplayer Game for DDoS AttacksResilience in Ad hoc Networks

Antonis Michalas, Nikos Komninosand Neeli R. Prasad

This paper proposes a multiplayer game to preventDistributed Denial of Service attack (DDoS) in ad hocnetworks. The multiplayer game is based on game the-ory and cryptographic puzzles. We divide requests fromnodes into separate groups which decreases the ability ofmalicious nodes to cooperate with one another in orderto effectively make a DDoS attack. Finally, through ourexperiments we have shown that the total overhead ofthe multiplayer game as well as the total time that eachnode needs to be served is affordable for devices thathave limited resources and for environments like ad hocnetworks where nodes must exchange information reallyfast.

Path Selection in Wireless Mobile Ad HocNetwork Using Fuzzy and Rough Set Theory

P. Seethalakshmi, M. Gomathi and G. RajendranKongu Engineering College, Perundurai, Erode, India

Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) is a collection ofwireless mobile nodes that dynamically forms a network.Many routing protocols exist to find the shortest path us-ing various resources. A novel approach based on fuzzyand rough set theory is described in this work for the se-lection of effective routing paths using minimum numberof resources. This paper shows the rough set techniquethat can be employed to generate simple rules and to re-move irrelevant attributes (resources) for evaluating thebest routing paths. An example is also given to illustratethe efficiency of the proposed method.

A Modified Gossip Algorithm for ClusteredAd Hoc Networks

Basak OztasBogazici University, Istanbul, Turkey

Gossip based algorithms, which constitute an importantgroup among many other techniques for broadcasting inad hoc networks, are inefficient on clustered networks.There is a trade off between the total load on the networkand guaranteed delivery on the cluster connecting nodes.This paper introduces a modified gossip algorithm forbroadcasting in clustered ad hoc networks. Additionally,a novel graph generation method for creating clusterednetworks is proposed for the simulations.

A Survey of Social Based Mobility Modelsfor Ad hoc Networks

Basak OztasBogazici University, Istanbul, Turkey

The main step of the simulation, which is modeling,should be carried out carefully to produce results whichfit best to real life scenarios. One of the main parts ofsimulations is modeling the mobility of objects. Mobilewireless nodes represent wireless devices carried by hu-mans in most of the cases, hence the mobility patternstrongly depends on human movements which are influ-enced by human decisions and social behaviors. Socialbased mobility modeling can be considered as the appli-cation of social network theory on the field of mobilitymodeling. This study aims to present a structured viewof the previous work on this field and to state the openissues to steer any future work.

Rainbow Multivariate Signature Scheme forDynamic Wireless Sensor Network

Pradheep Kumar Singaravelu and Shekhar VermaIndian Institute of Information Technology

In Dynamic wireless sensor networks (DWSN), messageauthentication is crucial to prevent false response that

may be evoked by a message. There is a need for astrong cryptographic mechanism to mitigate attacks likefalse message injection and denial of service. Public keycryptography is resource intensive while symmetric keycryptography does not meet the demands of scalability,simultaneous broadcasts from nodes etc. To address theproblem of authentication in resource limited DWSN,a multivariate rainbow signature scheme is proposed.Rainbow signature is based on layered unbalanced oil andvinegar multivariate signature in which linear equationsare solved to obtain successive sets of central variables.The small computation and memory requirement seemsto make the scheme viable for message and source ver-ification. The rainbow scheme was simulated for largescale DWSN. Results show that the throughput of thenetwork is large with low average delay even for largenumber of nodes. Moreover, the queue size at the nodesis small with low jitter which indicates that memory re-quirement is a small percentage of memory available atthe nodes. These indicate the efficacy of Rainbow signa-ture for DWSN.

A Jamming Defending Data-ForwardingScheme for Delay Sensitive Applicationsin WSN

Engineering and Science University, India

Wireless sensor network (WSN) has emerged as animportant application area where nodes are generallyplaced in an unattended environment and thereforeare vulnerable to attack by adversaries. Moreover inreal time application domains delay even by fractionof a second may deceive the purpose of the applica-tion. Therefore, designing an attack-defending schemefor WSN without involving any additional delay in data-forwarding is an important challenge in this domain. Thepresent work proposes a data-forwarding scheme havingno additional delay to defend jamming attack in WSN.The scheme considers a multi-layer architecture wherethe layers are made up of hexagonal cells each contain-ing sensor nodes in the form of clusters. The nodes arerandomly deployed throughout the network and clustersare formed so that every cell hosts two sets of clusters op-erating in two different predefined frequencies. We haveprovided design guideline to determine cell size in termsof network parameters. This guideline ensures that for acluster head there is at least another cluster head at one-hop distance towards the sink and thereby ensures data-forwarding in shortest path. During data-forwarding, ifa frequency is jammed, the cluster operating in that fre-quency becomes inoperative and the other cluster actsas back-up. We claim that the scheme defends jammingattack without incurring any additional delay and theclaim is substantiated through simulation.

Sensor Networks are usually large collections of sensingnodes. The main constrain of sensor network is that thesensor nodes have constant power source. They cannotbe recharged or replaced once deployed. Topological con-trol is a popular technique for energy conservation in sen-sor networks. Therefore, numbers of cluster base energyconservation technique are defined previously. In clusterbase technique, main problems are proper data aggrega-tion and a large amount of energy wastage to make clus-ter. In this paper we study the problem of efficient datapropagation with proper data aggregation model in wire-less sensor networks. The EER (Energy Efficient Rout-ing in Wireless Sensor Network) technique define optimalsize of clusters where data are aggregated properly anddata routing occurs in energy efficient way. In EER,clusters are generated with the help of L-system CAscheme. Data routing path is also decided by L-systemCA scheme. The simulation result depicts that life timeof the nodes increases with respect to other existing en-ergy conservation techniques.

There are many challenges involving WSN design suchas the energy resources optimization, the robustness andthe network coverage. We address here the problem ofenergy-efficient topology design. A well designed dy-namic topology and efficient routing algorithms may al-low a large reduction on the energy consumption. Assuch type of network, the sensors are connected in an ad-hoc manner, without any deterministic way. This paperis concerned with applying standard routing protocolsinto wireless sensor network by using topology modifiedby Neural Network which proves to be energy efficientas compared with unmodified topology. Neural Networkhas been proved to be a powerful tool in the distributedenvironment. Here, to capture the true distributed

nature of the Wireless Sensor Network (WSN), neuralnetwork’s Self organizing Feature Map (SOFM) is used.

Roberto Maurizio Pellegrini1, Samuela Persia1,Diego Volponi2 and Giuseppe Marcone21University of Rome, Italy, 2Fondazione Ugo Bordoni,

Italy

The scope of this work is to investigate the RF behaviorof ZigBee devices operating within a real environment.On this purpose a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) Zig-Bee based has been deployed in a specific indoor con-text. Three different RSSI measurement campaigns havebeen carried out to characterize the main propagationfeatures. On the basis of the experimental results ithas been possible to analyze the different factors thataffect the measurements, such as external factors (e.g.multipath, fading) or internal ones (e.g. hardware device,integrated antennas). The first campaign, made nearbythe transmitter, was performed to study the internal andexternal factor effects, the second one to extend the rangeof the first experiment, and the latter to investigate thepropagation trying to isolate the external phenomena.Furthermore to deeply analyze the ZigBee behavior wehave compared the measurements with a suitable propa-gation model. This work allows the definition of the mainperformance requirements for a ZigBee Sensor Networkdeployed in real building environment.

Secure Neighbour Authentication InWireless Sensor Networks

Jasmine Norman1 and Paulraj Joseph21Vellore Institute of Technology, India, 2Manonmaniam

Sundaranar University, India

Applications of wireless sensor networks often includesensitive information such as enemy movement on thebattlefield or the location of personnel in a building.Lacking security services in the routing protocols, WSNsare vulnerable to many kinds of attacks. A secure rout-ing in WSN must address several challenges: vulnera-ble wireless communication, highly resourceconstrainedsenor nodes in terms of processing power, storage, andbattery life, and the risk of physically captured. How-ever, a few of existing routing protocols for WSNs havebeen designed with security as a goal. As sensors com-municate in a multi-hop fashion, identification of secureneighbours in a mobile topology is critical for routing.Since these devices are resource constrained, we proposea secure neighbour authentication protocol based on avariant of HB, an authentication protocol for RFID de-vices. Simulation results show that the routing protocolSHLAODV is secure and energy efficient.

Technology (KTH), Stockholm, Sweden

In a classical network, data streams originating from asource and intended to a desired destination are routedthrough intermediate nodes before reaching their finaldestination. By contrast, Network Coding (NC) manip-ulates at an intermediate node those data streams bycombining the data from the streams before forwardingit to the destination. This paper describes the advancesof NC in wireless communication for IMT-Advanced andbeyond. A short overview of NC in wireless communi-cations is given first. Afterward, the application of NCto broadcasting is described. Thereafter, NC methods inuplink wireless communications, such as User Grouping(UG) and Relay Selection (RS) are described. Further,the advantage of non-binary over binary network NC isshown in a multi-user multi-relay scenario. Finally theperformance of NC is analyzed. In particular, in theuplink Multiple Access Relay Channel (MARC) scenario,the joint UG and RS methods lift the system capacity by70%. The non-binary NC improves the SNR up to 4 dB.Finally the efficient broadcast method yields up to 22%overhead reduction compared to ARQ.

Recently, femtocell technology has gained significant in-terest in the wireless communication community, as a

potential solution for satisfying the rapid increase indemand for wireless access, improving the poor indoorcoverage, and offloading the macrocell network. Opera-tional deployment of uncoordinated femtocells sets outnew technological challenges, among which are cross-tier interference between the macro and femtocells, andco-tier interference among femtocells, in the same spec-trum band. The Broadband Evolved Femto networks(BeFEMTO) project addresses these technical challengesaiming at developing advanced femtocell technologiesbased on LTE-A, enabling a cost-efficient provisioning ofubiquitous broadband services. The BeFEMTO projectalso focuses on novel concepts such as self-organizingfemtocell networks, in which the goal is to develop andevaluate solutions to limit the interference impact to end-users’. In this paper, we first give an overview of the Be-FEMTO project followed by preliminary results based onrecent development of distributed algorithms in contextaware learning mechanisms. Next, the performance as-sessment of self-organizing radio resource managementalgorithms and interference mitigating techniques formacro-femtocell coexistence is given.

More-over, the mechanism enables the exchange of small datapackets and facilitates the connection setup of a suit-able transport radio. We discuss the energy efficiency ofthe proposed device discovery mechanism and evaluatethe capability to form a network in a residential scenariowith different device densities.

LTE and HSPA for Fixed WirelessBroadband: Datarates, Coverage, andCapacity in an Indian Rural ScenarioAnders Furuskar, Jing Rao, Mats Blomgren, andPer SkillermarkEricsson Research, Sweden

Fixed wireless systems are candidate solutions to connectbillions of users not yet connected to the Internet. In thispaper the capabilities of HSPA and LTE fixed wirelesssystems in terms of coverage, datarates, and capacity arediscussed and evaluated. Results indicate that in an In-dian rural scenario with an inter-site distance of 40km,monthly data volumes of 200MB per user together with

34


a cell-edge datarate of 5Mbps are supported by HSPA on10MHz (downlink, 1×2). For LTE monthly volumes of430MB per user are reached in both downlink and uplink,together with cell-edge datarates of 5Mbps in downlinkand 2Mbps in uplink. A key enabler is the use of direc-tional rooftop terminal antennas.

In order to quantify the energy savings in wireless net-works, the power consumption of the entire system needsto be captured and an appropriate energy efficiency eval-uation framework must be defined. In this paper, thenecessary enhancements over existing performance evalu-ation frameworks are discussed, such that the energy effi-ciency of the entire network comprising component, nodeand network level contributions can be quantified. Thisincludes a sophisticated power model for various basestation (BS) types, which maps the RF output power ra-diated at the antenna elements to the total supply powerof a BS site. The proposed evaluation framework is ap-plied to quantify the energy efficiency of the downlink ofa 3GPP LTE radio access network.

Base station coordination is envisioned as a key technol-ogy in future mobile networks. It reduces the interfer-ence between adjacent cells and promises enhancementof spectral efficiency. However, little is known aboutthe penalties due to impairments. Channel errors maybe caused by channel estimation, feedback delay as wellas by synchronization errors among the base stations.Hence, the computation of the precoder relies on impre-cise information and the orthogonality between the userdata is disturbed. In this paper, we give an overviewon potential impairment effects. We derive an accuratesignal model capturing the effect of synchronization im-pairments depending on the feedback delay. The result-ing interference levels must not be larger than the oneobtained after cooperation of the base stations in thecluster being limited by interference of non-coordinatedbase stations surrounding the cluster. We introduce an

equivalent mean square error for these impairment ef-fects, propose a practical way to evaluate the correspond-ing performance degradation and discuss compensationmechanisms.

Decoupling and matching feeding networks are consid-erably interested in small wireless terminals to enhancetheir abilities for MIMO systems. In various proposals ofDMFN’s, the feeding networks composed of bridge sus-ceptances and transmission lines are simple. However,this DMFN has only been applied to the limited arraywith special characteristics. This paper presents gen-eral design formulas of the DMFN for the two elementsand three elements arrays and fundamental numericaldata are presented to assure the validity of the designformulas.

A Novel Compact Antenna for BroadbandMIMO

Dinh Thanh Le and Yoshio KarasawaAdvanced Wireless Communication research Center(AWCC), University of Electro-Communications

(UEC-Tokyo), Japan

In this paper, a simple broadband antenna in a com-pact size is firstly proposed. Antenna configuration andits characteristics such as VSWR, radiation patterns,and gain have been explored and discussed. The mea-sured results illustrate that the proposed antenna offers abandwidth of over 50% for VSWR less than 2. It also hashigh cross-polarization levels, and good gains — varyingfrom about 0.5 dBi to 4.5 dBi in the whole entire band-width. Moreover, we introduced some similar broadbandantennas which also offer relative bandwidth of over 50%at different centre frequencies. These antennas can be

35


easily obtained by adjusting some simple geometrical pa-rameters without changing material or substrate’s thick-ness. Secondly, we propose a simple and compact two-port broadband array which is based on the elementaldesign. The mutual coupling of ports of the array is keptaround -10 dB at the low frequence band and around-20 dB at the high frequence area of the array’s band-width. The proposed broadband antennas are promiss-ing for wideband applications such as broadband MIMOsystems.

Mutual Coupling Cancellation for CompactMIMO Antenna with 3 dB Hybrid

Nobuo Nakajima, Tomoko Yamazaki and Wei NiSchool of Informatics, The University of Electro-

Communications, Japan

MIMO is one of the important technologies in LTE,WiMAX and LTE-Advanced for improving spectrum ef-ficiency. However, it is not easy to make a compactMIMO antenna for portable terminals, keeping high per-formance. One of the problems is mutual coupling amongthe antennas. This reduces the efficiency of the antenna.In this paper, a 3 dB hybrid is used to cancel the mutual

coupling. This idea can be applied to 2N (N is inte-ger) number of MIMO antennas. In addition, by usingtunable impedance matching circuits, wide operationalbandwidth is available. Experiments were carried outfor 2 MIMO antennas at 2.4–2.6 GHz band.

Fading emulator,one of MIMOOTA measurement systems, can achievethe desired propagation environment around assessmentarea by radio waves radiated from a number of anten-nas placed on a circle around the terminal.

Coverage Evaluation of 4 by 4 MIMO BaseStation Antenna

Yuki Inoue and Keizo ChoResearch Laboratories, NTT DOCOMO, INC., Japan

Multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) techniqueshave been key to increasing the data rate and capacity inrecent mobile systems. Focusing on antenna installation,one of the most serious problems is the limitation on in-stallation space for additional antennas at base station(BS) sites. This manuscript evaluates the effectiveness ofa 4 by 4 MIMO BS antenna configuration using verticallystacked dual polarized half size antennas for cellular BSantennas when there is limited installation space for ad-ditional antennas. The coverage area, the spatial corre-lation, and inter-cell interference are evaluated based ona statistical analysis model. The antenna configurationis advantageous in increasing the capacity around the BSbecause the number of MIMO branches is increased andthe number of null points in the area is decreased. Theoptimum tilt angle is different according to policy of thecell design. For the case of focusing on the area size incell design, the configuration yields degraded quality inthe cell edge area compared to that for conventional fullsize antennas. On the other hand, for the case of focusingon the system capacity in cell design, the degradation ingeometry for the target 4 by 4 antenna can be suppressedusing an additional tilt of +4 degrees compared to thetilt angle of the 3G antenna in the scenario. The 4 by 4antenna configuration is effective to increase the channelcapacity in exchange for the area size.

Mobile phones can be seen almost in anyplace and any-time in Thailand. Since penetration of mobile phones inThailand is high compared to fixed lines (60 millions vs.7 millions), broadband infrastructure for the near futurewill certainly be 3G cellular network rather than FTTX.Although there is still bureaucratic unsolved problemon frequency licensing, GPRS, EDGE or trail servicesof HSPA can be informally accessed almost everywhereby anyone. Mobile phones can help support aging wellfor Thai community, as onefourth of population will beover 60 years by 2030. There are many mobile applica-tions for aging societies being developed in research lab-oratories in developed countries, however most of themrequire advanced telecommunication infrastructures. Re-cent research revealed that it is possible to apply currenttelecommunication services, such as SMS, for health pro-motion [3]. Personal Network provides applications forusers in many scenarios, including controlling their homeremotely and sharing critical information. It is also quitefar before such advanced infrastructure will be availablethroughout Thailand, therefore the objective of this re-search is to develop appropriated mobile applications forsupporting elder living, based on current telecommuni-cation infrastructure.

Eco Wireless Networks

Dina Simunic1, Ramjee Prasad and MilanZivkovicUniversity of Zagreb, Croatia

We began to be ”always connected” with introduction ofglobal wireless communication systems. In Europe andthe world these systems are representatives of 2G and3G systems with all evolution phases toward 4G systems.Except the mobile communications systems (e.g., digitalcellular systems), there is a number of PCS, mobile dataand WLAN standards and products that can be classifiedas, e.g., 2G wireless systems. The complexity of wirelessnetworks requires a careful design, especially related tobandwidth and energy efficiency. Bandwidth efficiency isvery important parameter, because it relates to frequencyspectrum, which is naturally limited resource. The otherparameter, i.e., energy efficiency is getting more andmore on importance, due to increasing penetration ofvarious wireless systems in different battery-oriented ap-plications, as well as due to the more conscious globalview on the need for ”greening the Earth”. The fieldof possibilities for creative design of ”green systems” isopened by complexity of wireless networks and thus by anumber of trade-offs available to the designer of energy-aware systems. Actually, the physical elements of thesystem, the various layers of the protocol stack, and theoperational environment are interactive elements, whichprovide possibilities for meaningful eco-design of wirelesssystems. Finally, we have to be aware that eco-design is

necessary not only due to energy saving, but also due topossible biological effects of electromagnetic fields.

ICT technologies as a whole have become one of thecornerstones for modern societies. Existing technologieswill be developed further in both evolutionary and rev-olutionary fashion. The technology centric thinking hasbeen a dominant driver in R&D activities up to now. Inthe future, the technology development should have a to-tally different starting point: how emerging and futuretechnologies could be used to solve some of the majorglobal challenges. In particular, wireless communicationand human-computer interaction (HCI) technologies canhave a key role in changing the way societies behave andfunction in the future. In this talk, we propose a re-search agenda for wireless technologies development inorder to solve some of the major global challenges, suchas (1) climate change, (2) population growth and emerg-ing economies, (3) ageing and well being, (4) catastro-phes, (5) Scarcity of electrical power (related to smartenergy grids communications), and (6) global economyand ubiquitous internet.

Variable frame rate analysis for speechprocessing

Zheng-Hua Tan and Børge LindbergAalborg University, Denmark

This talk presents variable frame rate (VFR) analy-sis methods and their application in speech recognition,speaker recognition, voice activity detection and so on.

Being a continuous and quasi-stationary time series,a speech signal is conventionally analyzed at short inter-vals (i.e. frames) with a fixed frame rate (FFR). Thisprocess is generally followed ignoring the signal is speechor non-speech, or is a steady region or a rapidly changingevent. There is, however, little use for most applicationsto choose frames from the non-speech parts. Further,an FFR analysis can hardly to provide a sufficient repre-sentation for sounds like plosives or attributes like transi-tions that have a very short duration. On the other hand,it may generate unnecessary frames for speech recogni-tion for long-duration sounds, e.g. vowels. With regardto speaker recognition and accent recognition, it is ex-perimentally found that phoneme classes are not equallyimportant. Clearly, the FFR analysis is a good compro-mise, but not an optimal solution.

Aiming at selecting frames according to the signaland application characteristics, VFR analysis first ex-tracts speech frames at an FFR and then determineswhich frames to retain by using some distance measuresand thresholds. Among others, an a posteriori signal-to-noise-ratio weighted energy based method will be intro-duced. Experimental results will be presented for variousapplications with an emphasis on noise robustness.

Radio spectrum is limited resource, its efficient use isprime concern. Normally, spectrum is allocated for anyservices on 20 years or more. In coming days, spectrumwould be needed for shorter duration instead of longerduration of 20 years due to fast changing scenario andadvancement in technology. In such situation, auctionof spectrum for longer duration will not ensure efficientuse of spectrum. In this paper, we propose an algorithmfor auction of spectrum for short duration and show thatreserve price play significant role over the auction result.

Radio spectrum is natural limited resource, which cannotbe owned. Many new technologies are emerging whichrequire spectrum for faster growth. ITU has projectedthat 1720 MHz spectrum will be required by the year2020. Several services are knocking the door of telecommarket but these promising services cannot be rolled outdue to non-availability of spectrum. To meet this de-mand, spectrum should be managed dynamically insteadof static. Cognitive radio is the best future technology,which would help to meet the ever increasing demand ofradio spectrum and also help in managing radio resourcein more simplified way. Dynamic spectrum managementwill provide conducive environment for implementationof cognitive radio based network. This paper gives anoverview about shortcomings of current spectrum man-agement and about dynamic spectrum access.

Cooperative Spectrum Sensing: State of theArt ReviewNuno Pratas1, Neeli R. Prasad1, AntonioRodrigues2 and Ramjee Prasad11Center for TeleInFrastruktur, Aalborg University,

Denmark, 2IST/UTL, Portugal

Spectrum sensing is the key mechanism in enabling spec-trum awareness in Cognitive Radio. The performance ofthe spectrum sensing depends on the local channel con-ditions, such as the multipath, shadowing and the re-ceiver uncertainty issues. The conjunction of these con-ditions can result in regimes where the signal SNR isbelow the detection threshold of the sensor, resulting inmissed detections or false alarms. To overcome this lim-itation there have been several proposals made in theresearch community towards the use of cooperation inspectrum sensing. Since the signal strength varies withthe sensor location, the worst fading conditions can beavoided if multiple sensors in different spatial locationsshare their local sensing measurements, i.e. take advan-tage of the spatial diversity. In this paper we reviewthe so far proposed methods and do a review of the stillopen challenges and give an outlook of future researchdirections.

Many wireless channels exhibit sparse multipath featurein practice. In this paper, we analyze the sparsity ofsparse MIMO channel and the leakage effect with fixedFourier basis in the spatial/angular domain. In order toenhance the sparsity of the MIMO angular channels wepropose an optimized overcomplete Fourier basis dictio-nary, which is obtained by a sparsity criterion, to rep-resent the signals with the best basis. By convertingthe compressed sensing from multiple measurement vec-tors to a single measurement vector, the reconstruction ofthe MIMO channel is simplified and makes better use ofthe sparsity of the MIMO angular channels. Simulationsshow that with the optimized basis dictionary the leak-age effect is reduced and the orthogonal matching pursuitalgorithm can reconstruct the MIMO channel effectivelywith the optimized Fourier basis.

Energy aware data aggregation in WirelessSensor Networks

Informatics of Grenoble, France, 3Ex Hacienda Sta.

Catarina Martir, Mexico

This paper proposes a stream aggregation model that ex-ploits sensors’ resources, its implementation and exper-imental validation targeted to environment monitoring.Instead of sampling and then immediately transmittingthe latest samples towards the sink, a sensor temporarilystores samples in a history located in its RAM. Data

is then aggregated and transmitted in any of the fol-lowing cases: when the history is full, when the size ofstored data reaches the optimal packet size or the maxi-mum packet payload, or when a query is received. Sincethe transmitted packets can reach considerable sizes fora typical WSN, the model also provides an adaptivepacket-level FEC technique for maintaining the packeterror level below a certain threshold selected by the user.

Results show that the proposed technique consis-tently outperforms the standard sample-and-transmittechnique, incrementing the sensors’ lifetime of at least50% while at the same time providing a better perfor-mance in terms of network packet loss rate. Source dataaggregation can also be combined with other in-networkaggregation techniques in order to provide even betterresults.

An Optimal Energy Efficient CooperativeRetransmission MAC Schemein Wireless Networks

Xin He and Frank Y. LiDept. of Information and Communication Technology,

University of Agder (UiA), Norway

While the benefits of cooperative diversity have beenwell studied in the literature, cooperative MAC proto-col design has also attracted much attention recently. Inthe singlerelay Cooperative Automatic Repeat reQuest(C-ARQ) protocol, the best relay node is selected in adistributed manner by relays using different backoff timebefore packet retransmission. However, this relay selec-tion scheme does not work efficiently in a dense networkscenario, due to possible high collision probability amongdifferent contending relays. In this paper, we proposean optimized relay selection scheme to maximize systemenergy efficiency by reducing collision probability. Theenergy efficiency performance by the proposed optimalrelay selection scheme is verified by simulations.

Network power consumption reduction has recently be-come an active research topic. In this paper, we pro-pose a novel approach to save power consumption of athree-cell microcellular network. When the traffic load inthe middle cell is low, it can be switched-off and its usersare covered. This is enabled by increasing the transmis-sion power of one sector antenna in the two neighboringcells. Numerical results show that by increasing antennatransmission power of the two sectors, the overall net-work power consumption can be reduced.

National Institute, Cork, Ireland

In this paper, we discuss how cooperative transmission(CT) can provide better services and/or lower the initialcost compared to non-CT in wireless sensor networks.To see the performance of CT and non-CT in both bat-tery operated and energy harvesting networks, we lookat the duty cycle instead of the energy and convert theconventional non-CT and CT routing protocols to theirduty cycle versions. We calculate the duty cycle limit,which is used as a performance bound in our networksimulation, based on a building management application.Through the network simulation, we show that whenCT is used appropriately, it allows more sensor nodesto be supported by a single gateway node, thereby low-ering initial cost, and it can provide more frequent datagathering.

Towards a layer-less network architecture —A case from Wireless Sensor Networks

Ram Kumar and Frank ReichertUniversity of Agder, Norway

challenging domain for existing network protocols andparadigms to fit into. The traditional models conceivedfor wired networking and adapted for wireless and mobileenvironments provide an inefficient and ungraceful out-come when exercised against highly dynamic and highlymobile nature of ad hoc wireless sensor networks. Effortsare being made to tweak existing (and sometimes createfrom scratch) principles and models that can provide aconcrete framework for such newer paradigms.

The momentum of the traditional layered architecturecarried over from the wired networks to infrastructurebased wireless networks pushes the same approaches asthe de facto standard for the new ad hoc WSNs. Weargue that such an approach conflicts with the long termprospects of the new paradigms. Using a network ar-chitecture designed for static nodes, albeit with tweaks(such as cross-layering), to address a completely differ-ent model of communications with modalities beyond thescope of both wired and infrastructure based wirelessnetworks is not the right path to follow. We presenta new way of thinking about the network abstractions,away from the hierarchical layers, towards network func-tionality as layer-less services. Further, we propose theapproaches that can be utilized to standardize this ap-proach in the long term.

Green Communications and Positioningby Integration of Adaptiveand Distributed Beam-forming Technologiesin Cognitive Radio Systems

X. Lian, H. Nikookar and L.P. LigthartIRCTR, Delft University of Technology,

The Netherlands

Cognitive radio (CR) concepts were introduced byJ. Mitola in 1999/2000. It is an approach with highpotential to allow most-intensive usage of the preciousnatural source spectrum. CR is capable of sensing thecommunication environments and of adapting to its envi-ronment by adjusting the radio parameters. With beam-forming techniques, CR can direct its main beam to-wards CR users while creating nulls to licensed users(LU’s) in up-link in order to share the same spectrumwith LU’s without disturbing them. Adaptive beam-forming (AB) techniques are used for interference reduc-tion by null broadening (NB) of the beam patterns ofa CR base station in down-link operations. In this wayby steering those NB angular sectors towards selectedregions the LU’s will experience less interference. Dis-tributed Beam-forming (DB) is a new concept to formbeams by distributed wireless sensors in order to trans-mit signals over a long distance with less transmit power.At IRCTR of Delft University cognitive radio conceptsreceive broad attention in the Radio Advanced Technol-ogy and Systems (RATS) program. Several MSc’s andPhD’s participate in this program. In this invited paperthe latest IRCTR results on AB and DB are overviewed.Furthermore, our Intelligent-WiMAX (I-WiMAX) initia-tive is summarized with some focus on adaptive OFDMand on applications for green communications andpositioning.

Sophia Antipolis, France

Space-Time Codes are popular tools to enhance both ca-pacity and robustness of wireless communications, usingmultiple antennas. Continuous phase modulations on theother hand, ensure good power efficiency due to it’s con-stant envelope characteristics (at least for a large classof CPM).

In this work, we extend the orthogonality property ofOSTBCs to ensure full waveform orhogonality, leading tonovel orthogonal space-time codes for CPM. The mainadvantages of the new code are (1) it’s scalability (thecode is simple and easily extendable to any number ofantennas) (2) it’s full rate property for any number ofantennas and (3) it’s full diversity property.

The direct signals from satellites in global satellite nav-igation satellites systems (GNSS) as, GPS, GLONASSand GALILEO, constitute the primary source for po-sitioning, navigation and timing from space. But alsothe reflected GNSS signals contain an important infor-mation content of signal travel times and the charac-teristics of the reflecting surfaces and structure. Oceanreflected signals from GNSS satellite systems reveal themean height, the significant wave height and the rough-ness of the ocean. The estimated accuracy of the averagesurface height can be as low as 10 cm. For low eleva-tions, the signals reveal the incoherent scatter process atthe reflection zone. By using open-loop high-precisionGNSS receivers, it is possible to provide the in-phaseand quadrature components of the signal at high samplerates, which enables investigation of the spectral signa-tures of the observations. The retrieval method consistsof a radio occultation technique for the phase differencesbetween the direct and reflected signal combined with astatistical method. Results are derived through a sequen-tial Bayesian estimation method, where the retrieval al-gorithms are based on a particle filtering technique. Thehorizontal size of the probability density function, whichuniquely describes the ocean reflection zone using therecursive particle filter method, totals from 200 to 500meters for all data sets.

Dynamic Measurement Methodologies forEnergy Efficiency in Wireless Networks

Mini VasudevanEricsson

Energy Efficiency has gained high prominence in recenttimes as we search for solutions that fuel our economy,

decrease Green House Gas (GHG) emissions and reduceour dependence on fossil fuels. In the context of Wire-less Telecommunication Networks, the power consump-tion of the access network is the most dominating andcrucial component; the evaluation of which necessitatesdevelopment of harmonized methods. Initially, interestwas focused on static measurement methods, resultingin the use of simple formulae for energy efficiency thatcould be reduced to a ratio of the RF output power toDC input power. While the results based on “static”measurements provide power consumption figures understatic load and without any radio network features ac-tivated, these fail to capture the true energy saving po-tential under actual operating environments and thus donot enable rating and effective differentiation of accessnetwork products. This gap motivated dynamic mea-surement methods for energy efficiency studies in wire-less networks. “Dynamic” measurements provide powerconsumption figures with dynamic load and with variouspower saving radio network features activated. Thesetechniques strive to capture the true energy efficiency un-der actual operating conditions of traffic load and pathloss variations. The presentation walks through a stepby step approach of both static and dynamic measure-ment methods to evaluate the energy efficiency of a radionetwork. The reference models and detailed assessmentmethodologies are described and compared. Finally, thebehavior model focusing on traffic efficiency and actualnetwork conditions is highlighted.

Low Carbon ICT — Impact of ICT on otherIndustries in reducing the GHG

Basavaraj HooliMphasiS

According to the world’s top climate scientists, we needto reduce current carbon dioxide emissions by 70–80%in order to stabilise levels in the atmosphere and preventdangerous climate change. However, current trends showthat global energy demand will actually rise by 53%,leading to a 55% increase in carbon dioxide emissions by2030 (International Energy Agency, ‘The World EnergyOutlook’, 2006).

ICT though contribute to only 2% of GHG, when itcomes to carbon reduction and Green earth, ICT comesfirst in the mind. It is because of the influence it has onthe other Industries The trend is towards the IndustryConvergence with ICT becoming the enabler hence, com-puting professionals can make a significant contributionto tackling these worrying trends. To achieve substantialemission reductions we must consider energy consump-tion across all the Industries and how ICT would help inoptimizing the energy consumption and containing theGHG generation.

Given the fact that transportation in general and per-sonal mobility transportation in cities in specific are oneof the largest green house gas emitters, we compare andcontrast in specific the personal mobility methodologiesof today with our success of building high quality IPNetwork and hypothize an alternative model leveragingcore ICT technologies which in our view may not onlyimprove the average throughput, but also reduce the ef-fective emission.

We compare the IP Packet flow in a QoS enabled net-work and see that each vehicle may be treated as a datapacket needing different type of priorities in its strive toreach the destination. We then compare the diversityof classes of service needed for vehicular system and seethat Diffserv model of achieving QoS which allow onlyfewer classes of priorities may be extended to the trans-portation system.

We also note the fact that data packets are passiveentities which are carried through network by activeswitching/routing elements in contrast with vehicularnetwork where the vehicles are active and the nodes(intersections) are kind of passive. We then postulatethat if we have to utilize our learning from the successof QoS enabled IP Network in to the vehicular network,we need to bring this equivalence and then we propose afuture transportation systems where such equivalence ispossible to establish. Then we analyze the current QoSmethodologies and try to utilize the same in our pro-posed transportation network. We finally try to analyzehow our QoS model will provide the needed throughputas well as right user experience.

Cyclostationary Analysis Method ofSpectrum Sensing for Cognitive Radio

V. Prithiviraj, B. Sarankumar, A. Kalaiyarasan,P. Praveen Chandru and N. Nandakumar SinghPondicherry Engineering College, India

The most challenging problem in Cognitive radio is thedetection of unused frequency bands and exploit themopportunistically for spectrum access. Cognitive radiosmust be able to efficiently detect the primary users evenin low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) condition and in fad-ing environments. These difficulties can be overcomeby exploiting the cyclostationary signatures exhibited bycommunications signal. Cyclostationary signatures areembedded in the physical properties of communicationssignal and they can be used to distinguish between theprimary user and secondary user. In this paper, we in-vestigate the problem of detecting vacant spectral bandsusing cyclostationary feature extraction method. Ap-proaches for the detection of cyclostationary signaturesare outlined and the simulation results are presented.

Internet of Things (IoT) concept enables the possibil-ity of information discovery about a tagged object ora tagged person by browsing an internet addresses ordatabase entry that corresponds to a particular activeRFID with sensing capability. It is a media for infor-mation retrieval from physical world to a digital world.With cooperative wireless communication, the wirelessnode entities can increase their effective quality of ser-vice (QoS) via cooperation. In developing countriesthe death rates due to lack of timely available medicaltreatments are quite high as compared to other devel-oped countries. The majority of these deaths are pre-ventable through quality care. This paper proposes a

cooperative IoT approach for the better health monitor-ing and control of rural and poor human being’s healthparameters like blood pressure (BP), hemoglobin (HB),blood sugar, abnormal cellular growth in any part of thebody, etc.

IoT is going to be an established part of life by extendingthe communication and networking anytime, anywhere.Security requirements for IoT will certainly underlinethe importance of properly formulated, implemented,and enforced security policies throughout their life-cycle.This paper gives a detailed survey and analysis of em-bedded security, especially in the area of IoT. Togetherwith the conventional security solutions, the paper high-lights the need to provide in-built security in the deviceitself to provide a flexible infrastructure for dynamic pre-vention, detection, diagnosis, isolation, and countermea-sures against successful breaches. Based on this surveyand analysis, the paper defines the security needs tak-ing into account computational time, energy consump-tion and memory requirements of the devices. Finally,this paper proposes an embedded security framework asa feature of software/hardware co-design methodology.

Self-Optimized Radio Resource ManagementTechniques for LTE-A Local AreaDeployments

Claudio Stocchi, Nicola Marchetti and Neeli RashmiPrasadCenter for TeleInFrastruktur, Aalborg University,

Denmark

One of the most promising solutions to improve theperformance of wireless networks is the extensive de-ployment of small size cells, such as femtocells. The ex-pected uncoordinated femtocells deployment makes theInter-Cell Interference (ICI) management a very criticalissue, since it is the most limiting factor in such a sce-nario, in particular for users in bad conditions. Thispaper presents a Flexible Spectrum Usage (FSU) algo-rithm for Local Area (LA) scenarios that aims at lim-iting the downlink ICI, so that to achieve high systemperformance while guaranteeing good performance alsoto users in worst conditions, thanks also to the use of apower control mechanism. This algorithm behaves in aself-optimized and self-configuring manner, allowing thebase stations to react autonomously to changes in thesurrounding environment and without the necessity of apreplanned spectrum assignment to the various cells.

A Fairness-Aware Resource Allocationfor MIMO-OFDM Based WirelessMulticast SystemsFarimah Mapar and Bahman AbolhassaniIran University of Science and Technology

The performance of MIMO-OFDMA systems is highlydependent on careful resource allocation such as subcar-rier assignment. Moreover, multicast service has emergedas the most important service type in the next genera-tion wireless networks. Considering diverse QoS require-ments in a multicast service, most traditional resourceallocation schemes have failed to achieve an acceptablelevel of fairness. To address this problem, in this paper,we propose a subcarrier assignment algorithm consider-ing both capacity maximization and QoS providing withfairness consideration. Simulation results show that theproposed algorithm significantly outperforms traditionalones in terms of system capacity and fairness. It shouldbe noted that the proposed algorithm poses preferablelow computational complexity in exchange for a subop-timal performance.

The virtualization of physical infrastructure by design-ing and embedding overlay networks is becoming stillmore relevant in order to overcome the challenges in oper-ators’ networks and in the internet as a whole by betterutilizing the available resources. In this paper we investi-gate how a framework for network properties can be usedfor the enhanced design of overlay networks. The frame-work includes identification, discovery, combination andexchange of network properties and we describe the im-portance of and our approach to the framework. We alsoinvestigate on three timescales the reactive planning, re-design and optimization of the networks and especiallythe overlays due to changes in the prerequisites givenfrom technology, the underlying network, services anduser behavior.

Performance of Super-OrthogonalSpace-Time Trellis Codes over NakagamiFading Channels

Ilesanmi B. Oluwafemi and Stanley H. MneneyUniversity of KwaZulu-Natal, Durban, South Africa

Super-orthogonal space-time trellis codes (SOSTTC)have recently been proposed as an efficient method toprovide both diversity and coding gain for wireless com-munications. In this paper, the performance of SOSTTCover Nakagami fading channel is investigated. Simula-tion results with various fading parameter shows that theSOSTTCs designed for Rayleigh fading channels basedon the rank, minimum determinant and trace criterion,are also suitable for Nakagami fading channels.

Nonlinear Suppression Scheme EmployingTransmit Power Control for MIMO-OFDMSystems

Takuto ARAI, Yunhan WANG, Naokuni KAMIYAand Fumiaki MAEHARAWaseda University, Tokyo, japan

This paper proposes a deterministic nonlinear distortionsuppression scheme employing transmit power control forMIMO-OFDM systems. The feature of the proposedscheme is to suppress the nonlinear distortion by adjust-ing the transmit power level of each transmit antennato be the maximum signal-tonoise- plus-distortion ratio(SNDR) and to perform MIMO signal detection usingthe appropriate transmit power levels notified to the re-ceiver. In the proposed scheme, since the transmit powertends to be lowered to satisfy the maximum theoreti-cal SNDR, the transmit power as well as the bit errorrate (BER) can be fortunately reduced in comparisonwith the traditional constant power transmission scheme,which consequently leads to alleviating the out-of-bandradiation. The effectiveness of the proposed schemeis demonstrated compared with the traditional schemewith constant transmit power by means of computersimulations.

Super-Quasi-Orthogonal Space-Time BPSKTrellis Coded OFDM System for FourTransmit Antennas

Ilesanmi B. Oluwafemi and Stanley H. MneneyUniversity of KwaZulu-Natal, Durban, South Africa

Super-quasi-orthogonal space-time trellis codes(SQOSTTC) is a powerful code that provide full rate,full diversity and high coding gain for four transmitantennas. These codes, designed for flat fading channelcombines set partitioning principle and a super set ofquasi-orthogonal space-time block codes in a systematicway to provide full diversity and improved coding gain.In this paper, the performance of super-quasiorthogonalspace-time trellis coded orthogonal frequency divisionmultiplexing system in frequency selective widebandwireless channel is investigated. A new 16 states BPSKcode is proposed to avoid parallel transition that re-stricts the error performance of the code in frequencyselective fading channel. Simulation results demon-strate the good performance of super-quasi-orthogonalspace-time trellis coded OFDM system in a widebandchannel.

the dark cousin of cryptography is the modern messiahto deliver secret communications against the stern men-ace from hackers. Hence, providing data security in in-formation systems using steganography has become animportant subject. In this article, an effective multi-user Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) based stegotechnique has been proposed to improve the securitylevel of the secret nexus. In this technique the fourparts of secret message to be hidden have been ob-tained from four different users and they are embed-ded in the four quadrants of stego cover in differentsequence which is decided by the chief of the secretgroup. In order to validate the efficiency of the proposedtechnique, Mean Square Error (MSE,) Peak Signal toNoise Ratio (PSNR) and Mean Structural SIMilarity In-dex (MSSIM) before and after embedding secret messagein stego cover have been estimated for various messagelengths.

Slow Start Backoff (SSB) Algorithm is a simple, efficient,distributed, and well performing medium access control(MAC) layer protocol designed for ad-hoc wireless net-works to share the medium. SSB is able to alleviate in-tensive collisions in high load environments, and SSB canalso minimize the average channel access delay in lightload environments. Compare with the traditional binaryexponential backoff (BEB) algorithm, SSB provides bet-ter performance over a wider range of network condition.In this paper, we introduce an analytical model to anal-ysis the saturation throughput of SSB algorithm, andthen we use this analytical model to find out an optimalvalue of threshold for SSB algorithm that maximizes thenetwork capacity based on the current channel status.Simulations are conducted to evaluate the performanceof SSB protocol. The results confirm that the perfor-mance of SSB can be greatly improved by proper choiceof the threshold according to the current channel status.Besides, the results also show the SSB algorithm out-performs the traditional BEB algorithm and its variantsin both high load and light load environments when itsthreshold is optimal.

The concept of “the Cloud” refers a host of machinesin large databases, the term “large” and “machines”raises questions about geography and jurisdiction. Theprospect of the Cloud operation concerns computingwith virtual representations without the geographi-cal/physical presence of both hardware and software.Thus, generally, web surfers are not able to acknowledgethat they are accessing a server in a far-off jurisdiction.Moreover, moreover since Cloud computing service pro-poses incredible capacities in using technology to connectdatabases and people in distances, it is important thatthe laws and regulations shall not place disproportionatecontrol or boundaries over the capacities. This researchwill access to the internet jurisdiction rules in the UScase laws and will conclude that a reliable identity veri-fication systems of internet protocol (IP) address is thesignificant matter to the certainty of internet jurisdictionrules.

With the widespread use of mobile devices, the users ofMobile Ad hoc network (MANET) become increasinglymore, which results the rapid development of the tech-nology. Due to MANET don’t need the infrastructure,it can deploy fast and conveniently in any environment.Because of its easy deployment features, in addition toused in personal area networks, home area networks andso on. Specially, MANET suit for military operationsand the emergent disasters rescue that need to overcometerrain and special purpose in urgent. However the dy-namical network topology of MANET, infrastructure-lessproperty and lack of certificate authority make the secu-rity problems of MANET need to pay more attention.The common routing protocols in current such as DSRAODV and so on almost take account in performance.They don’t have the related mechanism about detec-tion and response. Aiming at the possible attacks bymalicious nodes, based on the DSR protocol, this paperpresented a mechanism to detect malicious nodes launch-ing black/gray hole attacks and cooperative black hole

Delivery of eHealth and eInclusion services is a topic thathas already been addressed the last decades. The evolutionof Internet and technology in general, enable the deploy-ment of reliable infrastructures to even run life critical ser-vices, while inclusion of people who live in remote places isachieved through different channels available. Neverthe-less systems and services for elderly people with mild de-mentia, which is a population that is rapidly increasing, isnot tackled yet in a holistic way. There are services avail-able that can serve some of the user requirements, but thereis a clear lack of integrated solutions focusing on the el-derly. Obviously this is a technological and social challengeand has triggered the initiative of ISISEMD project, whichis described in this paper.

India is one of the fast developing nations in the World.Healthcare is one of the factor which is considered forany developing nation. TeleHealth can partially fulfillthis area of healthcare. TeleHealth and Telemedicine arebroadly refer to healthcare services that provide medicalinformation or healthcare across distances, providing pa-tients with access to locally unavailable medical services

or even substituting entirely for face-to-face contact withphysicians in emergencies. Many writers prefer theterm “TeleHealth” for broad applications such as ed-ucation and dissemination of health information, andtelemedicine for provision of medical services to patients.There are many healthcare technologies which have beenimplemented around the globe. Amongst these tech-nologies, very few are used for an emergency case. Inthis paper we are going to introduce TeleHealth Emer-gency (THE) System which is not yet implemented any-where which is based on Locate-Diagnose-Move tech-nique. THE system is the collaboration of GSM/GPRS,GPS, sensors (wearable device) and P2P technology.This system is initially proposed for the emergency move-ment and diagnoses the roaming heart (Cardiac) pa-tients as well as accidental victim. The main aim ofTHE system is to provide urgent provisional medicationand movement of patient to the hospital which can savelives of many before the contact of expert doctors. Thissystem can be implemented in urban areas of India im-mediately because of the availability of hospitals, healthclinics, ambulances and specialist too.

Currently, Peer to peer (P2P) technology has dramati-cally transformed the landscape of the Internet traffic,which attracts researchers to do more research on thedeployment of P2P in heterogeneous networks. Cur-rent GSM/GPRS system cannot support real P2P, be-cause it does not allow mobile terminal to get a fixedIP address, but in 3G it is possible. On the other handIP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) is a key technology of3G; it uses SIP to control sessions of higher layer ser-vices and has ability of multiple access network combi-nation. We are currently working on SARACEN, oneof the FP7 project in Europe which is based on mul-timedia communication. The main goal of the SARA-CEN project is to research and develop a platform, overwhich distribution of multimedia streams can be sup-ported through innovative techniques, both as regardsmedia encoding, but also as regards media distributionusing P2P[1]. In media distribution, we found few chal-lenges with P2P like piracy, security, content deliverytime, bandwidth management etc. In this paper we aregoing to propose a new environment with collaboration ofP4P (Provider Portal for P2P) and IMS. This proposedarchitecture consists of P2PSIP, DRM, AAA, iTracker,SIP AS, Gateway and other components. This archi-tecture is not only for our project but also for generalpurpose to resolve the p2p challenges in heterogeneousenvironment.

IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) is an architecturalframework for delivering Internet Protocol (IP) multi-media services. The main beautiful feature of the IMSis convergence of fixed and wireless networks to providevoice, data and variety of multimedia services. It pro-vides the an opportunity to build open IP based serviceplatform that will enable an easy and efficient deploy-ment of new multimedia communication services mixingvoice and data services. IMS is the best solution forany telecom operators who are providing both wired andwireless service for providing the convergence service butproper co-ordination among the different access networkis must for the heterogeneity of the service. So, it is veryimportant to know the performance of IMS in the dif-ferent access networks (Wired and Wireless networks).In this paper, we analyze the signaling performance invarious access networks. Basically, in this paper we com-pare the session setup time and release time between twoend user equipments (UEs) having same access networkswith same access technology and having different accessnetworks with different access technologies through IMSnetwork.

Label-free detection of BiomolecularInteraction - DNA - Antimicrobial peptidebinding

Peter Fojan, K. R. Jensen and L. Gurevich

Interest to biosensors employing surface or localized pla-mons is rapidly growing both in research and clinical ap-plication. Plasmon-based sensors offer extremely highsensitivity, only second to the optical detection tech-niques involving fluorescent labeling, but without thenecessity to label the molecule. In particular, surfaceplasmon resonance (SPR) sensors have been already

demonstrated suitable for food-safety control, label-freescreening for various disease markers in bodily fluids,as well as for real-time continuous monitoring of druglevels in intensive care environment. We envisage suchsensors to be integrated into wireless communication in-frastructure for e-health and environmental monitoringapplications. One of the important threats in hospitalenvironment is multi-resistant organisms that are notaffected by common antibiotics. The growth of multi-resistant infections spurred an interest in Antimicrobialpeptides that are active against broad range of infectionsincluding bacteria, fungi and viruses and were shownto be capable of treating multi-resistant infection eitheralone or in combination with the conventional antibiotics.In this paper, we demonstrate an application of plasmonbased biosensors to the study of the interaction of An-timicrobial peptide IL4 and DNA. Our results indicatehigh affinity binding between IL4 and DNA thereby pre-venting DNA replication and eventually killing the af-fected cell. We speculate that this is common for a largeclass of Antimicrobial peptides and can be a key pointexplaining their broad range of activity against variouspathogens.

Green radio

Raja Kumar and Jagadeesh GarugubilliIndian Institute of Technology, India

Reducing Carbon emissions in general in ICT from thepresent 9% and in particular in Mobile communicationshas been of great concern. In the next generation cellulartechnologies like LTE, base stations are very energy hun-gry nodes, as they need to provide high spectral efficiencyand wide coverage. Also the energy bill is a substantialpart of the operating cost of systems making it expen-sive. Given that there is no cooling required for modernsystems, the transmit power in a typical link is the mostimportant constituent in a base station is mainly due toits power amplifiers (PA) by the side of the energy loss inthe power supply. LTE uses OFDM in the downlink andSC-FDMA in the uplink. These multiple access schemesrequire huge complex computations which increases thecomplexity and the power consumption of the transceiverhardware.

mobile terminals, including the antenna effects is crucialin order to ensure end-user quality of service. MIMOOver-the-Air (OTA) testing provides the possibility tomeasure the true mobile terminal performance withoutusing artificial cabling in the test setup. All testing isdone over the air without touching the mobile termi-nal components. MIMO OTA testing is the only way totruly evaluate the end-user experience of the final prod-uct, e.g., in terms of data throughput, against realisticradio channel conditions.

Recently, methodologies for MIMO OTA terminal test-ing have been discussed in European Co-operation inthe field of Scientific and Technical Research action 2100(COST 2100), in CTIA-The Wireless Association, andin 3GPP. In 3GPP, different candidate methodologiesfor MIMO OTA have been proposed. They can bebroadly classified into three categories, namely reverber-ation chamber based methodologies, anechoic chamberbased methodologies, and two-stage methods. This pre-sentation introduces different MIMO OTA methodolo-gies and reviews the recent MIMO OTA standardizationactivities. Furthermore, it describes an anechoic cham-ber and fading emulator based method more in detail. Inthat method, multi-path propagation around the deviceunder test is created in a controlled manner with multipleantennas and a radio channel emulator. This presenta-tion covers also simulation and measurement results fromthe anechoic chamber based method. The results provethat the method is able to provide the desired propaga-tion characteristics.

Enhancement of Cell-based DecentralizedKey Management in VehicularCommunication Networks

Min-Ho Park, Gi-Poong Gwon and Seung-WooSeo

Seoul National University, Korea

Cell-based Decentralized Key Management (CDKM) wasproposed to manage a group key for secure multicast inmobile cellular networks efficiently. It achieves betterperformance with less management overhead than othercurrently available schemes by dividing a group into thecell-based multiple subgroups and delegating key man-agement functions to each base station governing eachsubgroup. However, room for improvement still remainsin the subgroup size affecting the rekeying overhead di-rectly. This paper proposes the enhanced CDKM whichimproves the rekeying performance through the reduc-tion of the size of the subgroup, and adopts this schemeto group key management in vehicular communicationnetworks. The proposed scheme further splits the cell-based subgroups into several segments, which is simplebut very efficient way to reduce the rekeying overhead.We prove mathematically that the additional split en-hances the performance, and show the proposed schemecan improve the rekeying performance by up to 15% overthe original CDKM and by at least 80% over the existingschemes.

Analysis of Secure Fast Roaming techniqueswith coexistence of 802.1x

S. Laxmaiah1, T. Madhu2 and K. Lal Kishore11JNTUH, India, 2GVIT, India

802.11i defines the Robust Security Network Association(RSNA) establishment procedure to provide strong mu-tual authentications and generate fresh Transient keys(TKs) for the data confidentiality protocols. 802.11iRSNA establishment procedure consists of 802.1X, whichprovides high security by using dynamic Authenticationand Key Management. It introduces latency due to theaddition of extra messages thereby increasing the roamtime. Long delays during roaming will affect the appli-cations like Voice over IP over Wireless Local Area Net-work (VoWLAN) and streaming video and further willhave serious impact on seamless handovers in wirelessLANs. To overcome this issue, key caching techniquessuch as Cisco’s Centralized Key Management (CCKM)and Opportunistic Key Caching (OKC) are introduced.Further with these techniques, roam time taken by thewireless clients can also be reduced.

Increasing performance of ODMRP by usinglearning automata

Alireza Shams Shafigh and Kamran AbdollahiIslamic Azad University, Iran

A Mobile ad hoc network is a collection of wirelesscommunication nodes that dynamically form a networkwithout any fixed infrastructure. One of the most im-portant topics in these networks is multicast routing.Although multicast algorithms are desirable in manysituations, their forwarding mechanism and network

55


resource consumption makes them significantly lessefficient than unicast routing algorithms. The most sig-nificant type of multicast protocols are mesh-based al-gorithms which, use periodic flooding mechanism toconstruct paths. Flooding rate in the multicast rout-ing protocols depends on node mobility and input traffic.Thus, this rate should adaptively adjust to restrict over-heads, while there are continuously a complete mesh be-tween receivers and senders in network. In this paper, anovel prediction model is proposed to compute the bestrate of flooding mechanism. Our results show substan-tial improvement in overhead while has no reduction inthe performance of the multicast routing protocol.

Technologies, Texas, USA

As user requests arrive randomly in a wireless network,a good serving discipline scheme optimizes the trade-off between resource utilization and quality of serviceby effectively predicting future demands. In this paper,we analyze research outputs on serving discipline algo-rithms for cellular networks. The contribution of thispaper is two-fold: first we review different serving disci-pline schemes and we choose the one which we believe isa good scheme. Then we propose an improvement on itand we validate our argument through simulation usingthe Network Simulator (NS-2).

Effiicient and Secure Technique for ImageTransmission over Wireless Channel

Kishore V. Krishnan and A. BagubaliVellore Institute of Technology, India

A secure and robust approach for partial image encryp-tion is proposed, which utilize sub-band selection fromdiscrete wavelet transform in order to meet the require-ments of the robust image transmission. The transforma-tion is computed via a lifting based approach and usingCDF (Cohen — Daubechies - Feauveau) 9/7 wavelet ona gray scale image. The techniques involved include theArnold Cat Map and Lorenzs chaotic system which arebased on ideas from linear algebra and dynamical sys-tems. The Arnold Cat Map will rearrange the order ofthe pixel values so that each one will be shuffled around,and the Lorenzs chaotic map will change the grayscalevalues of the pixels. Further, the proposed scheme isrobustified by channel coding to deal with burst errorincluded in wireless. The experimental results showsthat the proposed scheme provides an efficient and secureway for real-time image encryption and transmission overwireless networks.

Steg-OFDM blend for highly Securemulti-user Communication

PadmaPriya Praveen Kumar,Rengarajan Amirtharajan, K. Thenmozhi and JohnBosco Balaguru RayappanSASTRA University, India

Gone are the days when machines were the world’s“prime movers”. Today, the “prime mover” of the worldis information, particularly, secret information. It is alsoa commodity whose value perishes with time. Thisdual-quality of power and perish-ability makes informa-tion to be the wealth, most difficult to protect on theearth. Nevertheless, in order to protect the secret in-formation, technology has given us methods which pro-vide security, though not a fool-proof one. Steganog-raphy is one such method which incorporates securityby hiding the very existence of the secret by camou-flaging it inside an image. In addition to the enormoussecurity provided by the steganographic algorithms, ifwe implement some security in the very methodology oftransmission and reception of an image, it would prove tobe an useful venture. Such an useful venture is proposedin this paper, where four different users can transmit se-cret messages through a single stego image by takingadvantage of the OFDM-QPSK(Orthogonal FrequencyDivision Multiplexing-Quadrature Phase Shift Keying)duo, thereby imparting multiple-access and improving se-curity in an otherwise normal stego image. Comparisonof BER in AWGN and Random Noise channel has alsobeen done in order to quantify the effectiveness of theproposed technique.

An Affine Projection Algorithm BasedTransceiver Filter For MIMO Two-WayRelaying SchemeArun Joy and Vijaykumar ChakkaDAIICT, India

This paper presents a MIMO two-way relaying schemewhere the transceiver filter at the Relay Station (RS)processes the data using a variant of the Affine Projec-tion Algorithm (APA), known as Partial Rank Algorithm(PRA). The relaying technique used is Amplify and For-ward scheme (AF). The modulation technique used atthe nodes S1 and S2 is Quadrature Phase Shift Keying(QPSK). The performance of PRA algorithm is verifiedby comparing its Mean-Square error performance (MSE)and Bit Error Rate (BER) with that of a transceiver filterbased on Normalized Least Mean Square (NLMS) algo-rithm. The computational complexity of the algorithmis also tabulated.

Performance Improvement of Free SpaceOptical MC-CDMA Communication Systemwith Receiver Spatial Diversity Attenuatedby Strong Atmospheric Turbulence andTiming JitterMd. Zoheb Hassan, Tanveer Ahmed Bhuiyan, S.M.Shahrear Tanzil and S.P. MajumderBangladesh University of Engineering & Technology

This paper demonstrates an analytical model of a freespace multi-carrier optical CDMA communication sys-tem with photo detector spatial diversity and maximalratio combining (MRC) in presence of strong atmo-spheric turbulence, timing jitter and multiple-accessinterference (MAI). This novel approach to the develop-ment of probability density function (pdf) of the signalto interference and noise ratio (SINR) at the output ofMRC receiver represents the joint effect of turbulence in-duced fading, jitter and photo detector spatial diversity.The system performance is evaluated in terms of averagebit error rate (BER) of the MRC receiver by integratingconditional BER over the proposed probability densityfunction (pdf). Here BPSK, sub-carrier intensity mod-ulation (SIM) based technique is used for modulationscheme and system performance also analytically eval-uated for different higher order M-ary PSK modulationschemes. Simulation result indicates receiver spatial di-versity to improve BER performance several times thanSISO system and to increase system spectral efficiency.

Ratnadeep Debnath, Bama Charan Kundu,Moumita Pradhan and Dinesh PradhanDr. B. C. Roy Engineering College, India

In this paper, we propose an algorithm for lossless trans-mission of data in a Bluetooth scatternet taking intoconsideration the mobility of the devices. For thiswe use the scatternet formation and route maintenancealgorithms proposed in “Location aware route mainte-nance protocols for mobile Ad Hoc networks”, whichreconstructs optimal routes in a mobile Ad Hoc Blue-tooth network. Our algorithm named Enhanced MobilityAware Routing (EMOLAR) deals with secure data trans-mission during route reconstruction proposed in Locationaware route maintenance protocols for mobile Ad Hocnetworks.

An Adaptive Neural Network GuidedRandom Block Length BasedCryptosystem for Online WirelessCommunication (ANNRBLC)

J.K. Mandal and Arindam SarkarUniversity of Kalyani, India

In this paper an Adaptive Neural Network guidedRandom Block Length based Cryptosystem (ANNR-BLC) has been proposed for online transmission ofdata/information through wireless communication. Bothcommunicating networks receive an identical input vec-tor, generate an output bit, networks are trained basedon the bit, and as a result of this dynamics through adap-tive weight vectors the networks synchronize to an iden-tical time dependent weight vectors. This phenomenon isused to form a secured secret-key through a public chan-nel. Three sub keys are generated during the process toencrypt string of random length (multiple of 64 blocks).Length of sub key 1, sub key 2, sub key 3 is 128 bit, 192bit, and 256 bit respectively. Identical weight vectorsare used to generate first sub key of 128 bit length. Sub-sequent sub keys are generated as intermediate steps ofthe technique using neural cryptosystem. A session keybased transmission has also been proposed using 161bitkey format of 14 different segments [7,8]. Parametrictests are done and results are compared in terms of Chi-Square test, response time in transmission with someexisting classical techniques, which shows comparable re-sults for the proposed system.

Discrete Fourier Transform basedMultimedia Colour Image Authentication forWireless Communication (DFTMCIAWC)

Nabin Ghoshal and J.K. MandalUniversity of Kalyani, India

This paper presents a novel steganographic schemesbased on Discrete Fourier Transformation (DFT) anddemonstrates the multimedia colour image authentica-tion process in frequency domain for wireless communi-cation (DFTMCIAWC). Authentication is done throughembedding secrete message/image into the transformedfrequency components of the source image at messageoriginating node. The DFT is applied on sub-image blockcalled mask of size 2 × 2 in row major order where au-thenticating message/image bit is fabricated within thereal frequency component of each source image byte ex-cept the first frequency component of each mask. Inorder to retain the quantum value positive and non frac-tional in spatial domain, a delicate readjustment phase isused in the first frequency component of each mask as apost embedding handler. Robustness is achieved throughembedding secrete message/image into both positive andnegatives frequency component of source image and in-visibility is satisfied in spatial domain using delicate re-adjust phase. Inverse DFT (IDFT) is performed afterembedding to transform embedded image from frequencydomain to spatial domain and the embedded image istransmitted across the network. At the destination nodeauthentication is done through extraction process of em-bedded image. Experimental results demonstrate thatthe proposed algorithm performs better than discrete co-sine transformation and quaternion Fourier transforma-tion based schemes, and provide security and originalityof data in wireless domain.

Implementation of RSA Security Protocolfor Sensor Network Security: Design andNetwork Lifetime Analysis

Avijit Sahana1 and Iti Saha Misra21Cognizant Technology Solution, India, 2Jadavpur

University, India

Application of Wireless sensor network (WSN) is increas-ing in a rapid speed. As sensor networks may interactwith sensitive data and operate in hostile unattendedenvironments, it is imperative that security concern beaddressed from the beginning of the system. But sen-sor networks also introduce severe resource constraintsdue to their lack of data storage and power. Both ofthese represent major obstacles to the implementationof traditional computer security techniques in a wire-less sensor network. There has to be some compromisebetween the security and the energy. Asymmetric pro-tocol like RSA has not been implemented due to highpower constrain and for memory issue. In this paper,we have shown that RSA can be implemented for sensor

in an efficient manner by using optimized computation.We have simulated the protocol in NS2.34 platform.The energy requirement gives an optimistic result quitesimilar to symmetric protocol energy requirement forsensor.

A Novel Security Scheme for WirelessAdhoc NetworkAbhijit Das1, Soumya Sankar Basu2 and AtalChaudhuri31RCCIIT, India, 2IBM India Pvt. Ltd, India,3Jadavpur University, India

Wireless adhoc network is autonomous, infrastructureless and may be mobile depending on its type of applica-tion. Secure transmission of information in wireless ad-hoc environment is an important concern. In this paperwe propose to use shared cryptography to secure messagecommunication in adhoc network. In this approach wedivide any information into multiple shares and transmitthe different shares via multiple disjoint paths betweenany pair of communicating nodes and if possible at dif-ferent point of time. At the receiving end the originalinformation is reconstructed by combining the shares re-ceived via different paths at different point of time. Wehave also proposed to keep redundancy in the numberof shares to withstand loss of some shares due to loss intransmission or security attacks.

In the last years Game Theory (GT) has been widelyused in wireless technologies to model medium access,power control or resource exchange. In order to have awider vision of the problem and describe the evolution

58


of such networks, Evolutionary Game Theory (EGT) iscurrently considered as an important tool. This theoryhas been applied in biology since the seventies to describeanimals’ behaviour. We applied the theory to a new fieldof research and we describe how it could provide very in-teresting results. Cardiac diseases represent one of thebiggest death causes in modern society. Despite theirimportance, current therapies do not give an efficientsolution to the problem. However, stem cells researchcould represent a future hope for a more efficient solution.In particular, there is currently a great interest in my-ocardial tissue generation from stem cells cultures in 3Dbio-active scaffolds. Those polymeric structures intendto mimic the environment inside the heart where car-diac cells, cardiomyocytes, are generated. Well designedscaffolds along with chemical substances contribute tothe differentiation process of the stem cell. How thishappens, and how a stem cells population becomes a my-ocardial tissue? We studied a solution using Evolution-ary Game Theory (EGT). We set a very simple modelto describe the basic concepts of EGT and present someearly results.

Today, Information and Communication Technology(ICT) can be considered mature and, therefore, readyto be applied in other areas where its technological,modeling and architectural results can be effective. Qual-ity of Life (QoL) related research fields can take greatadvantage from the maturity of ICT. The Center for Tele-InFrastruktur (CTIF) and, in particular, its Italian node,is addressing deep efforts in the use of ICT for improvingthe QoL, through an interdisciplinary research. In thispaper we present the application of ICT on Biotechnol-ogy field; in particular the CTIF-Italy, Italian node ofCTIF, is working, along with other international part-ners, on a stem cells research for the development ofcardiac tissue, defining models to characterise cells in-teractions and networking related issues.

Functional Composite Scaffolds forConnective Tissue RegenerationVincenzo Guarino, Antonio Gloria, Maria GraziaRaucci, Alfredo Ronca, Roberto De Santis andLuigi AmbrosioInstitute of Composite and Biomedical Materials,

National Research Council, Italy

In most tissue engineering applications, an ideal scaffoldsshould be biocompatible and biodegradable in medium-long term; it should initially maintain its structural be-haviors, allow cellular in-growth and diffusion of nutrient,and used as carrier of growth factors and drugs. Scaf-folds endowed with molecular cues together to a con-trolled degradation profile should allow cell proliferationand differentiation, controlled vascularization, new tis-sue in-growth and then permit the remodeling of thistissue through a gradual transmission of biochemicalsand biophysical signals as performed by the extracellu-lar matrix (ECM). In order to mimic the ECM, scaf-fold must also present high porosity degree, high surfaceto volume ratio, high pore interconnection appropriatepore size and geometry control. For connective tissue re-generation (bone, ligaments, meniscus) composite scaf-folds are obtained by a combination of phase inversion,salt leaching, filament winding technology and RP tech-nique to modulate mechanical properties and cell inter-actions. These techniques enable obtaining porous scaf-fold with controlled micro and macro porosity. In thiswork, 3-D scaffolds for bone regeneration were preparedby using poly(e- caprolactone) reinforced with CalciumPhosphates and PLA fibers. Meanwhile, PLA fibre rein-forced and fibreless Hyaluronan esters were implementedto develop scaffolds for ligament and meniscus regenera-tion, respectively.

Governing Stem Cell Fate through InertMaterialsPaolo Di Nardo and Marilena MinieriUniversity of Rome Tor Vergata, Italy

A decade of intensive research has not produced consis-tent results able to allow a safe and cost-effective use ofstem cells in the clinical setting. Among the differentcauses, the vision that the stem cell rejuvenating poten-tial could overwhelm all the other biological cues hasdemonstrated to be very weak. Instead, it is now clearthat stem cell fate is governed by a complex array ofmulti-parametric signals whose symmetry is fundamentalto confine stem sells in a determined state. The modula-tion of the level of symmetry along the time-scale drives

stem cells towards a specific phenotype. Attempts atreproducing in vitro this mechanism has demonstratedthat scaffolds made of inert materials but endowed withappropriate topology and physical characteristics can re-lease signals sensed as biologically relevant by stem cells.Exploiting this concept could allow to reproduce in vitrothe physiological conditions usually governing cell fatein order to achieve a more complete control of stem celldifferentiation for clinical applications.

Low Profile Ku/Ka Band VSAT antennasystems for mobile applications

Rudy Loforti

Space Engineeringo SPA, Italy

At the time being because of today’s highly dynamic lifestyle, the need of a Internet broadband connectivity isbecoming more and more in demand whether you are athome, at office or even you are travelling. The need of be-ing always ”on-line” has given rice to a large demand formobile broadband communication services. The present

considerable development of mobile satellite communica-tions has made this demand quite viable. Low profile an-tenna systems have been developed to allow broad-bandsatellite services within passenger aircrafts, small ships,high speed trains, trucks, etc. These antenna systems fitthe most stringent envelopes constraints by solving thevertical and horizontal scanning needs either having fullymechanical scan capabilities, even with the mechanicalpolarization adjustment, or by mixing mechanical andelectronic steering agilities, thus making these antennasystems very attractive. As far as the frequency band isconcerned, the use of Ku-band satellites allows us to havea quite good wide-band worldwide coverage. Moreoverthe recent Ka-band satellites launched recently into or-bit, even though with limited coverage capabilities, willallow a dramatic satellite link cost reduction, thus help-ing a large spreading of such broad-band satellite con-nections. A short, but quite up-to-date, survey of whathas been proposed for this particular niche market willbe presented in this paper, together with some informa-tion on the running satellite Internet services on-boardsome European high speed trains.

Wireless and Mobile communication; theImpact to Africa

Stanley Henry Mneney

University of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa

In 2010 Africa, the largest continent on earth, had a pro-jected population of about 1 billion people which is 14.8%of the world’s population. From this population only 3%had access to fixed line telephone services, 10.9% had ac-cess to the internet, 0.2% are subscribers to broadbandservices and 27% had access to the mobile telephone ser-vice. The wireless and mobile services were introduced inthe mid 90’s and it took only 5 years before the numbersof subscribers for this services overtook those subscrib-ing to the fixed-line services. This is evidence that thewireless and mobile networks are the more efficient andcost effective means of providing communication servicesto a continent that has a sparse and scattered rural pop-ulation and a dense ever growing urban environment.

The mobile and wireless network penetration in Africais growing at a faster rate compared to any other region inthe world. To support this growth the cost of the mobileand the cost of the services have become more and moreaffordable. Creative concepts of pay as you go, roamingacross national boarders with same operator, texting andcompetition between operators have contributed to thisaffordability.

Today services have expanded to include services likemoney transfers to families in remote locations, bankingservices, tele-health services, shopping and many otherservices that can be categorized as emergency services.This paper will look at how the wireless and mobile ser-vices have changed the lives of several African Communi-ties, increased their incomes through expanded produc-tivity and access to markets, improved access to healthcare and education.

IP based network- centric architectures enable the fusionof digital video, broadband Internet and mobile technolo-gies. The Next Generation Network (NGN) architectureallows service related functions to be independent of theunderlying transport technologies and enables general-ized mobility and quality of service (QoS) provisioning.Satellite and terrestrial segments contribute to the use ofhybrid/integrated network architectures to provide ubiq-uitous and broadband IP-based services to the end usersexperiencing mobility in a seamless fashion. This paperdeals with the hybrid/integrated satellite and terrestrialsystems like Complimentary Ground Component (CGC)or Ancillary Terrestrial Component (ATC) that allows anefficient interworking. In this paper we propose a cross-layer design approach focusing on physical layer interac-tion with the application layer using an OPNET simu-lation environment. This paper studies the effect of fad-ing on dynamic resource allocation, QoS parameters i.e.delay and jitter on multimedia applications e.g. VOIP,video conferencing, FTP and HTTP. The system archi-tecture used for these simulation experiments consists ofDigital Video Broadcasting - (DVB-S2) for the forwardlink and DVB-RCS for the return link of satellite networksegment. We also propose using WiFi and WiMAX wire-less networks for the terrestrial segment. The simulationresults demonstrate the advantages of the cross layer de-signs in terms of throughput and delay performance. Weconclude the paper with a discussion on the emergingservices and future trends of hybrid networks using LongTerm Evolution (LTE) and cognitive Radio technologieswith SATCOM.

Foster Creative Engineers by PBL: a CaseStudy of Student Satellite Project(AAUSAT3) at Aalborg Universityin Denmark

C. Zhou, J.D. Nielsen and A. KolmosAalborg University, Denmark

In recent years, Problem and Project Based Learn-ing (PBL) has been employed by a growing number ofeducational institutions to foster creative engineers. Thispaper aims to explore how PBL can develop creativity inengineering education. Accordingly, a qualitative casestudy was carried out with a student satellite project(AAUSAT3) in the department of electronic systems atAalborg University in Denmark. Multiple methods in-cluding interviews and observation were employed. Theanalysis of the empirical data leads to the findings anddiscussions that PBL can foster creative engineers by pro-viding conditions of problem analysis and solving, theshift from teaching to learning and team based projects.This research therefore contributes to both theory andpractice in the PBL setting of engineering education.

The PBL-course for engineering students at Aalborg Uni-versity provides support for student-groups’ project-workand collaborative learning when planning and conductingscientific problem-based project with societal relevance.The results of a survey among some of the groups indi-cate that the limited experience with the Aalborg PBLModel clearly affects groups’ perception of importanceof using different PBL-tools. Development of process-competencies depends upon facilitation of reflection andexperimentation.

Peer Evaluation and Peer Review toSupport PBL Teamwork

E. de Graaff and Gillian Saunders-Smits

In a Problem-Based Learning (PBL) curriculum in en-gineering, students work together as a project team.By doing that they have the opportunity to exerciseteamwork competencies, like project management andcommunication skills while studying various engineeringtopics. In this process feedback is essential in order tostimulate the students. However, the lecturers do notwitness all the interactions in the group and also it takes

a lot of time to give extensive feedback. Peer reviewand Peer evaluation method enable teachers to assessteamwork competencies more completely and more timeefficient. An extra benefit is that the students learn totake responsibility for assessing the value of contribu-tions to the team efforts. Based on a research project atTU Delft in the Netherlands, this paper will present avariety of Peer evaluation and Peer review instrumentsand discuss their potential in supporting the PBL groupprocess.

While cellular and WLAN (Wireless Local Area Net-works) at low frequencies (1–5 GHz) constantly strugglewith the quasi-saturation of spectrum, the EHF band(30-300 GHz) has huge swathes of band available atno cost. The recently allocated 71-76 GHz and 81–86GHz bands could represent an opportunity to realiseLine Of Sight (LOS) links for directional point-to-point

“last mile” ones. This work focuses on the design andBER (Bit Error Rate) performance evaluation of an IR-UWB architecture based on an 85 GHz up-conversionstage of train of ns Gaussian pulses in terms of phasenoise, due to oscillators and mixers, Low Noise Ampli-fier (LNA), High Power Amplifier (HPA) and Antennadistortions. Simulation results show that BER perfor-mance, in presence of these RF non-linearities, for anIR-UWB transceiver architecture operating at 85 GHz(with same data rate and bandwidth) are better than a2-FSK scheme working in a similar scenario.

Design of LC-VCO for Low PowerNarrowband Electronic Applications

Dhrub Solanki, Rajeevan Chandel, Tafseer Alamand Atul NishadN I T Hamirpur

A low power, low phase-noise Inductance Capacitancevoltage controlled oscillator (LC-VCO) is demonstratedon 180 nm CMOS Technology node. By using externalcurrent biasing it is not feasible to obtain low power andnoise characteristic simultaneously. Therefore, low powerand low phase noise characteristics are achieved by us-ing the current mirror is being used. Also to reduce thepower modifications is being done in the traditional LC-VCO structure. The VCO designed is operating at 12.5GHz with tuning range of 7.75% which will useful forwireless narrowband applications.

Performance Degradation Due to LowResolution ADC in IR-UWB Systems

Sandeep Mukherjee, Ernestina Cianca and MauroDe SanctisUniversity of Rome, Italy

This paper addresses the issue of performance degrada-tion of IR-UWB systems in presence of low resolutionADC. This is a part of a UWB Transceiver working atW-band in Line-of-Sight, so effects of multipath can beignored. First of all, the paper derives the analyticalexpression of the BER of an IRUWB system as a func-tion of the number of quantization bits of the ADC. Thismodel has been used to compare the performance of theIR-UWB system with a BPSK system in presence of lowresolutions ADC. The comparison has shown that even ifBPSK is less sensitive to the ADC resolution, IR-UWBneeds a lower number of bits to get performance close tothe ideal ones.

Simple Series from Formula of BERPerformance for M-ary QAM/OFDMSignals with MRC Diversity Receptionover Nonlinear Fading Channels

Akihiro Yamakita, Akira Kamiyama, Yuichiro Gotoand Fumiaki MaeharaWaseda University, Japan

This paper proposes the theoretical derivation method ofthe bit error rate (BER) for M-ary QAM/OFDM signalsusing maximal ratio combining (MRC) reception undernonlinear fading channels. Since the BER performanceespecially in the presence of nonlinear fading channelsis mostly obtained by time-consuming computer simula-tions, we provide the simple analytical tool in order toprevent its computational cost. The feature of the pro-posed formula is to be represented by the simple seriesform formula without any integral calculation and to beapplicable to arbitrary modulation schemes. The validityof the proposed approach is confirmed by the agreementwith the computer simulation results under various kindsof system parameters such as the input back-off (IBO)and the number of branches.

Towards a Mobile Solution for PredictingIllness in Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus,Development of a Prediction Model forDetecting Risk of Illness in Type 1 DiabetesPrior to Symptom Onset

Jonas N. Lauritzen1, Eirik Arsand2, Klaske VanVuurden2, Johan Gustav Bellika1,2, Ole K.Hejlesen3 and Gunnar Hartvigsen1,21University of Tromsø, Norway, 2University Hospital of

North Norway, Norway, 3Aalborg University, Denmark

Illness in Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) patientsmakes it complicated to perform sufficient self-care, re-sulting in prolonged episodes of hyperglycemia and fluc-tuating blood glucose (BG) concentrations. Prolongedepisodes of hyperglycemia elevate the risk of the patientdeveloping diabetic complications, which makes infec-tions such as common cold, influenza and influenza like

63


illness more harmful for T1DM patients than the nor-mal population. TTL, NST and AAU are researchinga method of predicting illness in T1DM patients, usingpatient observable parameters. Daily BG measurementsare identified as a relevant patient observable parameter,due to early rise when infected and elevated HbA1C dur-ing illness. A Smartphone based system is developed thatallows patients to monitor BG concentrations and reportsymptoms of illness and illness. Data gathered by pa-tients through use of this device, will be used to test thehypothesis that changes in daily BG measurements canbe used to predict illness in T1DM patients, before symp-toms onset. A successful prediction model will enablepatients to get early indication of upcoming illness, be-fore they are bedridden. Patients can thus actively takeprecautions to avoid or shorten illness episodes or makethese less severe and/or have healthy BG concentrationsduring illness. This project is breaking new grounds bydetecting illness before the onset of symptoms and illness,and an illness prediction model using patient observableparameters will be an important advance in the field ofdisease surveillance and prediction.

The purpose of this paper is to describe the qualita-tive perspectives of telerehabilitation as concerns theinteraction between COPD patients and healthcare pro-fessionals. The case study approach is chosen as the over-all research strategy for this study. A randomised study(n = 111) has also been conducted. The paper concludethat telerehabilitation process becomes a learning pro-cess which is more than an individual cognitive process,since learning takes place in interaction with healthcareprofessionals, the family and network of the COPD pa-tients.

Special Session 10 — RadioSpectrum Allocations

Wednesday, March 2 — 16:00-18:00Session Organizers and Chairs:Reza Tadayoni and Knud Erik SkoubySession DescriptionNew technological developments, including digitalizationof broadcasting and the extensive demand for new mo-bile services calls for rethinking of allocation, allotment

and assignment of spectrum. Emergence of new technolo-gies/standards, the convergence process, refarming of thecurrent spectrum bands, and re-allocation of digital div-idend spectrum for other uses are some important ele-ments in this discussion. There is an intensive competi-tion going on in getting access to the spectrum resources.The digital dividend discussion, e.g., represents an ob-vious conflict of interest between on the one hand thetraditional broadcasters and market players from othermobile communication sectors and on the other hand be-tween the stake holders within the mobile communicationsector, i.e., commercial mobile operators and the stakeholders representing specific uses like Public Safety andEmergency (PSE), Intelligent Traffic System (ITS), etc.The presentations in this session will deal with these dis-cussions and include country/regional case studies andresearch papers dealing with different aspects, includingtechnological, regulatory and economic aspects. We willfurther invite presentations from relevant industry andpublic administration.

Papers and presentations in this special session willdeal with topics like:

• Demand for spectrum

• Digital dividend

• Refarming

• New applications

• New technologies and standards

• Regulatory aspects

• Market analysis

Spectrum Trading: A hypothetical ideal?

Rajen AkaluDelft University of Technology, The Netherlands

Proponents of the full-fledged spectrum market assertthat once rights are defined as signal outputs and usersleft free to combine transmission inputs at will, opti-mal degrees of interference will result. The definition ofsuch output rights is of course theoretically conceivable.But their operational relevance cannot be assumed out ofhand nor demonstrated by a priori deductive theorizingalone. Explicit empirical documentation of a sort not yetforthcoming is absolutely essential before one can expectpublic administrators to trade off the certainty of an on-going system however imperfect for the paper promisesof a hypothetical ideal.

Mutual Information of Block-Faded MIMOMultiple Access Channels with ChannelEstimation Error

Emiliano Dall’Anese1 and Silvano Pupolin21University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, U.S.A.,2University of Padova, Padova, Italy

In this paper, the effect of a training-based linearminimum mean squared error (LMMSE) channel esti-mator on the sum mutual information of the multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) multiple access channel(MAC) is investigated. Adhering to the classical chan-nel estimation philosophy, the overarching contributionof the present work consists in bridging pure information-theoretic bounds on the sum mutual information withpractical system parameters that are inherent to theLMMSE channel estimator. The unboundness of themutual information and conservation of the multiplexinggain is shown and, interestingly, the increase of the mu-tual information loss with respect of the perfect channelknowledge case with the increasing of the signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR) is revealed, with a close-form expressionfor the value bounding the loss for asymptotically highSNRs.

Microstrip-to-Substrate IntegratedWaveguide Aperture Couplers

Vladimir A. Labay1 and T. Rama Rao21Gonzaga University, Spokane, WA 99258, USA,2SRM University Kattankulattur, Chennai, TN, India

Multi-aperture couplers between microstrip circuitry andsubstrate-integrated waveguides are presented. The de-sign procedure is described, and couplers formed bysingle-aperture and dual-aperture configurations are pre-sented. It is demonstrated that the coupling can be astight as 1 dB but that weaker coupling leads to morebroadband and flatter coupler performance. Designs arecarried out in an HFSS environment; comparison withCST validate the design procedure. Dimensions and pa-rameters of all couplers are presented as guidelines forgeneral design purpose.

Performance Analysis of Switched Diversityover Correlated Ricean Fading channels

Milica Pejanovic-Djurisic and MajaIlic-Delibasic, University of MontenegroIn this paper the performance of dual branch switchand stay (SSC) diversity receivers over correlated andnonidentical Ricean fading channels is analyzed. For thatpurpose, a new model, based on linear transformationof correlated Ricean random variables into uncorrelatedones, is proposed. In that manner, it is enabled to applystandard procedure for performance analysis of uncor-related signals. Probability density function (PDF), cu-mulative density function (CDF) and moment generatingfunction (MGF) of the signal at the output of diversitycombiner are derived. Furthermore, outage probabilityand bit error rate, assuming BPSK (Binary Phase ShiftKeying) mapping of the input data, of the considereddual diversity system are determined.

Seshadri Mohan and Nitin AgarwalUniversity of Arkansas

Advanced socio-technical systems especially handheldand mobile devices are no longer esoteric; rather theyare a part of daily life for billions of people worldwide en-dowing a sense of every time connectedness. With largerbandwidths, powerful processing capabilities, better dis-plays, user friendly and haptic interfaces, mobile plat-forms holds a promising future for social applications.However, advances in web technologies have led to thedevelopment of complex set of applications that demandsa nimble and robust architecture that is adaptive to thenetwork constraints. This has resulted in a favorableplayground for mobile-aware social applications offeringpractitioners and researchers key architectural challengeswith numerous fledgling opportunities. In this article, weelaborate upon the challenges and provide a frameworkfor incorporating cross-layer interaction between socialapplications and wireless network capabilities. Specifi-cally, we address the problem of delivering social networkcontent to mobile devices with the required QoS. Wepropose a generic framework that addresses this issue.We also discuss some suitable wireless network proto-cols that could be utilized to provide QoS for the de-livery of content generated by social applications andfor reliable interactions between mobile users and so-cial applications followed by possible future researchdirections.

In this paper, we present Infoshare: a flexible and scal-able information authoring and sharing architecture formultimedia digital signage systems. Proposed archi-tecture internally analyze and classify content, design

and system infrastructure into three different layers us-ing metadata extracted by user input and creates ahighly scalable and easy to share digital signage envi-ronment. Furthermore, this architecture enables decen-tralized management by defining different user roles tohandle each above mentioned layers. We believe thatInfoshare architecture can make an efficient Creation,Distribution and Installation (CDI) cycle for multimediadigital signage content while allowing smooth scalabil-ity and management of the system. We applied this ar-chitecture to a prototype digital signage system. Paperdescribes the system implementation, key features andfuture development directions.

Personal Virtual Multimedia Library(PVML) in a Converged Network

Karthikeyan Balaji Dhanapal, Arun AgraharaSomasundara and Sanjoy PaulSoftware Engineering & Technology Labs (SETLabs),

There is lot of personal multimedia content (audio, im-age, video) being generated due to the ease of gener-ating such content with the everyday devices, such as,mobile phones and also due to the plummeting cost ofmedia-generating devices, such as, digital cameras whichhave made them ubiquitously available. Almost every-one wants to share his/her personal content with familyand friends. In addition to this sharing, there needs tobe proper mechanism of accessing this content by tech-nically non-savvy people. This is more so a requirementfor the masses in an emerging economy like India wherebroadband access is almost non-existent, and for the el-derly people everywhere, who use TV as their main de-vice for accessing media. We present a system, which sitsin the Internet cloud, simplifies content upload and or-ganization, and allows seamless sharing and access of themultimedia content across networks and devices. Mostimportantly, the content can be accessed from any oneof the 3 types of screens: web/PC, mobile, TV. The sys-tem hides all the complexity of the storage, formatting,and organization of the media content from the users.Performance evaluation of the system shows that it isrobust against variations of bandwidth, delay and jitterin a mobile wireless network and is reasonably scalablewith the increase in the number of users.

With the increasing interest in deploying 4G/LTE net-works, IMS has a potential to be deployed in a wide scalein order to support mobile Internet and value-added ser-vices over next-generation networks. Moreover, the effortto create an operator-controlled signaling infrastructureusing IP-based protocols has resulted in a large num-ber of functional components and interactions betweencore networks elements. Thus, the carriers are tryingto explore alternative ways to deploy IMS that will al-low them to manage their network in a cost effectivemanner while offering rich communications services. Oneof such approaches is self-organization of IMS (SOIMS).The self-organizing IMS can enable the IMS functionalcomponents to adapt dynamically based on the featureslike network load, number of users, node failures andavailable system resources. This paper proposes differ-ent mechanisms to handle self-organizing IMS with usageof load balancing paradigm. The proposed solution en-ables topology hiding, IMS nodes failure recovery, sessioncontinuity support, and IMS scalability.

An Analysis of Routing Disruption Attackon Dynamic Source Routing Protocol

Jaydip SenInnovation Lab, Tata Consultancy Services Ltd., India

Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) is a well known sourcerouting protocol for ad hoc networks. The algorithmdepends on the cooperative participation of the nodesthat enables route discovery from a source node to adestination node. However, if a group of nodes do notcooperate, the performance of the DSR protocol may beseverely degraded. This paper presents a probabilisticattack model on the DSR protocol and analyses its effecton the routing performance. Simulations results of themodel show that the effect of the attack is catastrophiconly if a large number of nodes are compromised andthere is no detection mechanism. As an interesting ob-servation, the analysis also shows that the attack modelcan also be used to improve the performance of the DSRprotocol.

A low complexity statistical method is presented for fastre-acquisition of Global Position System signals in LowEarth Orbit. Based on off-line estimates of the mean andvariance of the Doppler shift drift, the two sided con-fidence intervals of the phase and frequency, accordingto an initial search bin and time, is derived. A squareregion of confidence is derived from the confidence in-tervals which reduces the search space and, hence, alsothe re-acquisition time. Given a 99% confidence inter-val the derived prediction method can reduce the searchspace size for the considered case for up to approximately330 seconds without any misses. For shorter time spansthe method is able to reduce the search space size signifi-cantly and in the considered case two order of magnitudereduction in search space size is achieved at a predictiontime of 20 seconds.

On the use of Aerospace Technologies todesign a Solar Thermodynamic System forHydrogen ProductionC. Stallo, M. De Sanctis and M. RuggieriCenter for TeleInFrastruktur (CTIF)-Italy, University

of Rome Tor Vergata

There are a lot of advantages offered by the use of renew-able energy in terms of minimal environmental impactcompared to fossil fuels, lower costs and its great role forensuring the sustainability of human life on planet Earth.Among all sources of renewable energy, solar energy is byfar most abundant. One of the most interesting applica-tions of this renewable source could be represented byits use for favoring the thermal dissociation of water andhence the production of hydrogen. Finally, this couldbe employed for example as green fuel for cars in placeof fossil ones. The work focuses on possible technolo-gies able to exploit solar energy for the dissociation of

water and the production of hydrogen. The basic ideais to combine a support structure capable of achievingvery high temperatures when heated by concentrated so-lar radiation to carry out the water decomposition via atwo-step process using metal oxide redox systems. Thewhole process (water splitting and regeneration of themetal oxide) could be carried out in a single energy solarconverter. In this scenario, the use of technologies wellestablished and already applied to antenna subsystemsdesign for aerospace missions would be useful in order todevelop a system which is able to reach very high tem-peratures exploiting the solar source.

High Altitude Platform System (HAPS)and Co-existence with Fixed SatelliteService(FSS) in Frequency Range 5850–7075MHz

Masoud Mohebbi Nia and Tharek A. RahmanUniversity Technology Malaysia

HAPS has cropped up as a neoteric technology inthe wireless communications field in recent years. Thestraightforwardness with which HAPS gets along with atelephone network service provider or the Internet, hasmade it to a unique feature of future wireless networks.Most HAPS’ criteria have been well circumscribed by theInternational Telecommunication Union (ITU) or sub-scribed to in World Radiocommunication Conferences(WRCs). This procedure will prolong to function the var-ious frequency ranges in future, most notably in WRC-12. To curb and clarify assessment probe, it should beexplicated that FSS links are sited in C-Band frequencyrange to condense overwhelming conceivable propagationattenuation attributable to disproportionate rain amountin tropical and subtropical regions. Consequently, FSSuplink is ranged between 5925 and 6725 MHz. Whereas, HAPS gateway links’ frequency range is delineatedbetween 5850 and 7075 MHz. Hence, FSS uplink inter-venes with HAPS frequency range partially. Accordingly,HAPS spectrum sharing with FSS uplink in the Fre-quency range 5850–7075 MHz is appraised at this junc-ture. HAPS spectrum implementing in alluded frequencyrange instigates interference renowned as Co-Channel In-terference (CCI). CCI reckoning is based upon SpectrumEmission Masks (SEM), Antennas’ Radiation Patternand Clutter Loss. The co-channel frequency deploymentprospects are delved at this article.

This paper applies a divide-and-conquer approach toachieve confidentiality control in Cloud Computing. Wesketch how a Redundant Array of Independent Net-storages (RAIN) for Cloud Computing can be designedusing techniques originally intended for other purposes.The RAIN approach splits data into segments and dis-tributes segments onto multiple providers. By keepingthe relationships between the distributed segments pri-vate, the original data cannot be re-assembled. Further,with each segment small enough, each segment disclosesno meaningful information to others. Hence RAIN is ableto ensure the confidentiality of data stored on clouds.

Towards Role Mining with RestrictedUser-Role Assignment

Manisha Hingankar and Shamik SuralIndian Institute of Technology

RBAC (Role-Based Access Control) is a widely adoptedaccess control model. However, migrating to RBAC re-quires identification of a complete and correct set of roles.Many bottom-up algorithms have been proposed for min-ing such roles. These algorithms attempt to find a min-imal set of roles that is consistent with a given inputconfiguration. But none of these consider any form ofconstraint on the maximum number of users that canbe assigned to each role. This is a common requirementoften termed as ’cardinality constraint’ which has beenwidely referred in early RBAC literature. In this paper,we propose three algorithms which identify roles that sat-isfy such type of constraint. The algorithms vary in theirdegree of complexity and accuracy. Comparative perfor-mance analysis has been done using benchmark datasets.

Securing Critical Infrastructure:A Semantically Enhanced Sensor BasedApproach

Mohammad M.R. Chowdhury1 and Josef Noll21UNIK-University Graduate Center, Norway,2University of Oslo, Norway

Being center of both public and hazardous materialtransport system, railway is one of the most importantcritical infrastructures. This research is aiming to sup-port secure access to information, dependable and reli-able operation, efficient management and maintenance

of the railway infrastructure. In this regard, thispaper proposes a framework where sensors retrieve thecontextual data from the infrastructure and a middle-ware processes these data and the semantics of data toderive decisions. These decisions allow monitoring ofinformation and generate alarms for faults. The deci-sions may recommend actions to deal with the faults andprovide secure access to information only to authorizedpersonnel. The semantic technologies such as ontologylanguage, rule language and reasoning process are usedto design the middleware. The paper includes detaileddescription of the middleware and an overview of its im-plementation steps.

Norway, 3Nanjing University of Posts &

Telecommunications, China

Wireless sensor network (WSN) is an emerging impor-tant research area. Because WSNs in general and in na-ture are unattended and physically reachable from theoutside world, they could be vulnerable to physical at-tacks in the form of node capture or node destruction.These forms of attacks are hard to protect against andrequire intelligent prevention methods. It is necessaryfor WSNs to have security measures in place as to pre-vent an intruder from inserting compromised nodes inorder to decimate or disturb the network performance.In this paper we present an intrusion detection algorithmfor wireless sensor networks which does not require priorknowledge of network behavior or a learning period inorder to establish this knowledge. We have taken a morepractical approach and constructed this algorithm withsmall to middle-size networks in mind, like home or of-fice networks. The proposed algorithm is also dynamic innature as to cope with new and unknown attack types.This algorithm is intended to protect the network andensure reliable and accurate aggregated sensor readings.Theoretical simulation results indicate that compromised

nodes can be detected with high accuracy and low falsealarm probability.

Ranjan Mishra21Amity University, India, 2Nokia Siemens Networks

With the demand for mobile communication services atan all-time high, multimedia services in particular haveattracted the interest of the users. The unicast nature ofcurrent cellular networks puts severe strain on the limitedspectrum when faced with demands for data intensivemultimedia services. Powerful and efficient communica-tion systems are needed, which provide high capacities,especially at the downlink. Furthermore, interactivityis essential for supporting the user needs and to extendthe service offering. As one possible solution to meetthe mentioned requirements, we consider the hybrid net-works formed as a combination of the cellular networks(GSM, UMTS, etc.) and the mobile broadcast networks(DVB, MBMS, etc.).

Indian Operators are facing challengesof maintaining the profitability in a highly competitivevoice market which is the largest revenue stream today.With price alone being no more a differentiating factorfor the operators to be in the business today and withrollout or plans to rollout new networks (3G and wirelessbroadband), different options are being thought of by theoperators.

Internet browsing, Games, Video — streaming andreal-time- and Mobile Commerce are some of the keyapplications that would be driving the market. Togetherwith that, with the proliferation of smart phones, cus-tomers are driving the market. It is the changing lifestyle of having the flexibility at both work and homeenvironment to do what is required and is of priority,thus creating the blended life style, is making the devicevendors to come up with devices that give the required

flexibility. New devices (iPhone, Palm Pre, Win Mo-bile) are giving the choice to the customers to drive themarket. iPhone, for example, is a disruptive technologywhich created its own eco system allowing the users tobuild applications. This is bringing us to a world of datadriven market instead of voice. Thus there is a need toprovide device independent Value Added Services (VAS)to the devices residing on multiple type of networks andalso meeting the content requirement of all types of sub-scribers. Fulfillment of the need for data services bringsthe challenge where the mobile operator could become amere bit-pipe provider for companies providing servicesfrom the Internet.

To drive this VAS or data market the operatorsare looking for strategic partnership with VAS solutionproviders. Such strategic partnership is just one means tosolve the problem. Operators must look at other businessmodels for new sources of revenue and for long-term sur-vival. Global Standardisation Forum for India (GISFI)<http://gisfi.org/> is also developing business mod-els to fulfill Indian operator requirements that will re-sult into architectures/standards tuned to fulfill businessrequirements.

Feasibility Study of Filtering Algorithms forLow Cost Wireless Physiological MonitoringSystem

Utpal T. Pandya and Uday B. DesaiGujarat Council on Science and Technology, India

An increasing number of patients, high cost, lack of mo-bility, isolation from professional environment, amongothers issues demand a technology in which a patientshould be monitored from home instead of hospital. Thiswill force the development of more cost-effective and ad-vanced wireless telemedicine solutions. The parameterslike types of input (i.e. ECG, blood pressure, body tem-perature, etc.), sampling rate, distance between wirelessmodules, number of sensors connected in wireless net-work, adaptability of algorithms for signal processing,size of the device and power consumption can affect theperformance and cost of the systems. This paper illus-trates hardware for wireless ECG system and the per-formance of various algorithms applied to ECG receivedwirelessly in the standing and sitting position of patient;and with different sampling frequencies to meet the re-quirements of system low cost and easily adaptability. To

74


demonstrate the work, a prototype of ECG front end isdeveloped, tested and interfaced with Bluetooth modulewhich digitizes the analog ECG signal and transmits thesignal wirelessly to Bluetooth enabled devices. The al-gorithms like piecewise moving average, moving average,and S-Golay algorithm are implemented on the capturedECG with different sampling frequencies and with differ-ent positions of patient; and are compared. A templatefor moving average and piecewise algorithms is writtenin Microsoft (MS) Excel and tested for real time dataupdate. The proposed system has successfully used theBluetooth technology to transmit and receive physicalsignals along with testing of operational features of trans-mitting device through the air. The results show thata novel algorithm is required which can efficiently re-move high frequency noise in any physical condition ofpatient and can be easily implemented in existing Mo-bile/PDA/Laptop, etc. to meet the system requirementof low cost and adaptability.

Design of a Wireless Adapter for MultimediaProjectors

Avinash Pura and C. V. RaghuNational Institute of Technology, Calicut, Kerala, India

Wireless projection technology has made a quantum leapforward in terms of portability, ease of use, performanceand functionality. Today, slide projectors have becomea part of the wireless LAN, and the user planning toproject his/her desktop is just one click away from pro-jector. This makes the projector easily accessible sim-ilar to other wireless equipments like printer, scanneretc. available on WLAN. These current generation wire-less projectors have made real-time interaction betweena room-full of business executives or students a reality.An adapter to convert a wired projector to wireless pro-jector will help the community who might have alreadyinvested money on high end wired projectors. With this,owners of the wired projectors enjoy almost all the bene-fits of wireless projectors with minimal investment. Thisproject involves design of such an adapter for wired pro-jectors with the necessary softwares for the user PC orLaptop. The adapter is designed around Beagle Boardwhich is a 3” × 3” single board computer from TexasInstruments.

K.Anusudha and J.V. DesaiSchool of Electronics Engineering, VIT University

The recent growth in Telemedicine has provided the trendof transferring patient’s information in the form of dig-ital data’s. Telemedicine generally refers to the use of

communication and information technology for the trans-fer of clinical data. Due to this fast development in digitaldata transfer, Hospitals are using the new technology forsharing Electronics patient’s record between specialists lo-cated in different geographical locations. This new tech-nology raises the issue on the authenticity and integrity ofthe patients data transferred. Digital watermarking tech-nique plays a major role in providing security to digitaldata and the use of this technology in health care as beenthe current area of research among the researchers. Thispaper discusses the various watermarking techniques al-ready used in medical images and proposes a new method-ology in spatial and frequency domain.

Pilot Project for Bridging Digital Divide inRural Area

Thongchai Yooyativong and RoungsanChaisricharoen

The kingdom of Thailand is a developing country locatedin the Indo-China region and most of her people inhabitin remote rural area. They usually are agriculturists liv-ing below poverty line and have very low probability tofollow current digital lifestyle. Therefore, the presenceof digital divide is obvious and its effects are invaluable.The worst is it effectively unbalances education abilitiesbetween the children that have lived digital lifestyle andthe children that have not. In the past, several attemptsare tried and virtually failed due to insufficient under-standing of the concealed issues. Funded by the NationalTelecommunication Commission (NCT) of Thailand incooperation with the Mae Fah Luang University (MFU),the pilot project to enhance learning environment in ruralarea via the information and communication technology(ICT) are conducted in partial university-centric conceptwhich is divided into incubating and sustaining phases.The incubating phase composed of the distribution ofup to date ICT infrastructures, human resource (HR)development, and monitored content and knowledge de-velopment. The first two sections are mostly conductedby the NCT and MFU but the last section of developingand evaluating knowledge and content is jointly admin-istrated by local governments, communities, and schoolsfor practicing them to monitor and support for furthergrowth in the sustaining phase. At present, the firstphase is nearly finished and a great number of ICT-readyteachers, students, and locals are fed to communities. Inaddition, students in the voluntary schools score better innational test compared to the prior state before enteringthis project. Teacher, students and trained locals con-tinuously develop interesting digital contents regardingculture, history, tradition, and local knowledge. Manygood signs indicating a glimpse of success are clearlysense which was never be seen in any previous govern-ment funded projects.

Rajesh Kannan Megalingam, R. Vineeth, K.S.Akhil, Denny, C. Jacob and Krishnan M.U. DeepakAmrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, India

Real-time monitoring of the physical condition of thepatients is one of the major challenges faced by hospi-tal authorities nowadays. All the hospitals today haveone Patient Monitoring System (PMS) per patient. Alsohuman intervention is needed frequently for critical pa-tients. In this paper we propose a network based WirelessSingle PMS (NWSPMS), which can monitor multiple pa-tients to measure various physical parameters. This mustbe precise, fast and effective for transmission of informa-tion about their health condition to the concerned. Alsothere lies a need to transmit more parameters and moredata for the convenience and fast response by the staffsin the hospital. Since we need an immediate response,we make use of the voice-call facility apart from the SMSmechanism via an GSM modem. The system proposedhere monitors blood pressure, heart beat rate, body tem-perature and ECG of the elderly patient thus giving anoverall condition of the patient.

TV White Space Standardizationand Regulation in Europe

Markus Mueck1 and Dominique Noguet21Infineon Technologies AG, Germany, 2Minatec

CEA-LETI, France

Regulators around the world are currently setting rulesand requirements that will allow for mass-market accessto TV White Spaces. It is expected that the openingof those frequency bands to the consumer market willlead to a dramatic increase of spectrum exploitation effi-ciency in highly appealing frequency bands: In Europe,the frequency bands between 470 MHz and 790 MHzare considered and the inherent signal propagation prop-erties are largely superior to those in standard cellularbands, for example, in 900 MHz and 2 GHz. This pa-per will present related use cases for the exploitation ofTV White Space as they are currently discussed in the

ETSI Reconfigurable Radio Systems Technical Commit-tee. Then, the availability of TV White Spaces in Europeis investigated, followed by an overview of recent regu-latory activities on the European Commission level. Inparticular, expectations related to a new revision of theEuropean R & TTE Directive are presented which rep-resents the basic regulatory framework in Europe.

We discuss the scope and nature of opportunities forwhite space devices to operate in the UHF band in Aus-tralia after the digital dividend. We identify opportuni-ties for white space usage in the reduced UHF band tobe used for television services as well as in nearby guardbands. We extend the discussion to the longer-term byexamining scenarios in which broadcasting services coulduse the synergistic effects of white space devices to eithervoluntarily migrate out of the UHF band or secure theiroccupation of this important spectrum beachhead.

Regulatory regimes for opportunistic usage is being dis-cussed in many countries for the so called TV WhiteSpace channels. The key objective of the regulators isto ensure that opportunistic systems can coexist with in-cumbent systems without causing harmful interference.However, they do not specify how these opportunisticsystems must be designed to guarantee these require-ments and to exploit White Spaces in an optimal way.This paper gathers key regulatory rules for opportunis-tic usage in the TV bands, and illustrates how these rulesare turned into technical requirements within the frame-work of the European FP7 QoSMOS project.

Security Threats against Spectrum Sensingin Cognitive Radio NetworksPramod Varshney

L. C. Smith College of Engineering & Computer

Science, Syracuse University

Cognitive radios (CR) have emerged as a solution tothe problem of spectrum scarcity as they exploit thetransmission opportunities in the under-utilized spec-trum bands of primary users (PU) within an acceptableinterference temperature. Therefore, the task of spec-trum sensing plays a significant role in the design ofa CR. In the case of a CR network, the nodes coop-erate with each other to improve the overall detectionperformance of the network. This talk focuses mainlyon the different security threats faced by a CR networkin the task of spectrum sensing, namely, Byzantine at-tacks, Eavesdropping attacks, Jamming attacks and PUEmulation Attacks (a type of jamming attack). In par-ticular, some of my research group’s accomplishments on

securing CR networks against Byzantine attacks are pre-sented.

Synchronizing Digital Receivers

fred harris

San Diego State University, USA

Digital Signal Processing has become the standardmethod of signal conditioning and signal processing inmodulators and demodulators of modern communicationsystems. These systems require acquisition and trackingof a carrier and of a timing clock from the received signalwhen neither carrier nor clock are present. The synchro-nization information must be extracted from implicit sideinformation embedded in the modulated signal or fromexplicit side information accompanying the modulatedsignal in pilot signals. Many techniques were developedprior to the heavy reliance on DSP in receivers. As thetransition to DSP occurred, analog based sub-optimalsynchronization schemes often survived the transforma-tion and are employed directly as analog techniques oras their digitized versions.

An important lesson to be learned in DSP based solu-tions is that a return to first principles may offer perfor-mance benefits. We do that in this presentation startingwith a review of receiver structures, parameters to be es-timated, eye diagrams, and constellation diagrams. Wethen review phase lock loops and their digital counter-parts as well as simple performance measures. We thenexamine timing recovery schemes operating with andwithout the benefit of data decisions. Finally we discusscarrier recovery schemes operating with and without thebenefit of data decisions. The synchronization processesfor a number of modern communication systems will bediscussed and used to illustrate the material discussed inthe presentation.

An Analysis, Design and PrecautionaryMeasure for Mobile Phone AccidentsWhile Driving and Cost-EffectiveFatalitiesH. Abdul Shabeer and R.S.D. Wahida BanuAnna University, Coimbatore

Usage of cell phone is increasing worldwide in recentyears, with more than 652 million Subscribers in Indiaone step behind China as of July 2010 [17]. At the sametime if we consider the risk associated with usage of mo-bile phone while driving, India is way ahead of china.According to World Health Organization (WHO) in itsfirst ever Global Status Report on Road Safety says, In-dia has recorded maximum number of road accidents inthe planet [16]. According to Indian National CrimeRecords Bureau at least 14 people dies every hour in roadaccidents. Various Statistics also reveal that a large por-tion of road accidents in India is caused due to mobilephone usage while driving. Although various measuresand rules placed on mobile phone usage, still it is highlyimpractical to prevent this type of events. In order toovercome this serious issue, we developed an applicationwhich helps in reducing the number of mobile accidentconsiderably and we further extend our research, by com-paring the obtained results after installing this applica-tion with recent study of US National Safety Council,conducted on 2010 and we also shown how far this ap-plication helps in reducing economic losses in India.

M. Malleswaran1, Angel Deborah S1, and V.Vaidehi21Anna University of Technology, Tirunelveli, India,2Anna university, Chennai, India

INS and GPS are commonly integrated using a Kalmanfilter (KF) to provide a robust navigation solution,

overcoming situations of GPS satellite signals block-age. This work presents an alternative method of bridg-ing GPS requiring no prior knowledge of the INS andGPS sensor characteristics, called the Intelligent Net-works. This method uses various Intelligent Networkslike Back Propagation Neural Networks (BPN), ForwardOnly Counter Propagation Neural Network (FCPN), FullCounter Propagation Neural Networks (Full CPN), andAdaptive Resonance Theory-Counter Propagation Neu-ral Networks (ART-CPN) to predict the INS positionerror during GPS outages, resulting in different perfor-mance. The performance of the different intelligent net-works are analyzed using real time data in terms of RootMean Square Error (RMSE), Performance Index (PI),number of hidden neuron, number of epochs and learningrate . ART-CPN is found to have better clustering abil-ity when compared to FCPN and Full CPN. ART-CPNalso has better learning ability and network constructingability when compared to BPN, FCPN and Full CPN.It has better learning speed due to its one step learningprocess.

Peter Fojan

My research at AAU is focused around the self organization of biological basednano materials. Small peptides have come into the focus of attention recently andtherefore I have started the investigation of antimicrobial peptides and peptide sur-factants, with biophysical methods and atomic force microscopy. The peptides usedfor this kind of research are being chemically synthesized in house and this providesus with the opportunity to fast design novel peptides and investigate them. There-fore the theoretical part of the peptide research is centered around the antimicrobialpeptide activity, specificity and mode of action. Another line of research is the useof metallic nano particles in the generation of surface plasmon based biosensors andsensor concepts. The structural investigation of proteins and peptides with bio-physical methods, such as spectroscopic methods (CD, fluorescence spectroscopy),differential scanning calorimetry, and the investigation of their self organization atsurfaces with atomic force microscopy are the main themes of my research. Thevarious projects are centered around this line of research.
