Mobility prediction method for vehicular network using Markov chain
This paper proposes mobility prediction technique via Markov Chains with an input of user’s mobile data traces to predict the user’s movement in wireless network. The main advantage of this method is prediction will give knowledge of user’s movement in advance even in fast moving vehicle. Furthermore, the information from prediction result will be use to assist handover procedure by reserve resource allocation in advance in vehicular network. This algorithm is simple and can be computed within short time, thus the implementation of this technique will give the significant impact especially on higher speed vehicle. Finally, an experiment is performed using real mobile user data traces as input for Markov chain to predict next user movement. To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed method, MATLAB simulations are carried out with several users under same location zone. The results show that the proposed method predicts have good performance which is 30 of mobile users achieved 100 of prediction accuracy
Conhecimento da mobilidade do consumidor em redes centradas em informação
Mobile data traffic is expanding significantly since the surge and evolution of wireless
communication technologies, leading to the design and implementation of
different types of mobile networks.
Information Centric Network paradigms have been pointed as an alternative to
bypass the restrictions imposed by the traditional IP Networks, such as the one
imposed by the mobility of its users. Despite their potential advantages regarding
mobile wireless environments, several significant research challenges remain to be
addressed, more specifically the communication damage due to handover, causing
loss of packets.
The scope of this dissertation is the development of NDN-based mechanisms with
support for Consumer mobility in two different communication approaches: single
content request and publish-subscribe. The proposed schemes address a remote
mobility predictor entity, whose purpose is to monitor and anticipate trajectories,
while compelling the infrastructure to adjust to the new paths, resulting in an
efficient way to manage the consumers’ mobility with the purpose of attaining a
better quality of service to users.
The implementation and evaluation of the proposed schemes were performed using
ndnSIM, through functional and non-functional scenarios. The latter uses
real traces of urban mobility and connectivity. The obtained results show that
the proposed solution far surpasses the native NDN workflow and the traditional
publish-subscribe solutions with respect to content delivery ratio and network overhead.O tráfego de dados móveis tem vindo a crescer significativamente, sobretudo devido
à evolução das tecnologias de comunicação sem fios, o que tem vindo a implicar o
desenho e implementação de novos e diferentes tipos de redes móveis.
Os paradigmas de redes centradas em informação têm sido apontados como uma
alternativa para contornar as restrições impostas pelas redes tradicionais IP, nomeadamente
a mobilidade dos seus utilizadores. Apesar das potenciais vantagens em
relação aos ambientes móveis sem fios, vários desafios de investigação ainda necessitam
de ser resolvidos, mais especificamente aqueles relacionados com o processo
de handover dos seus utilizadores móveis, levando por vezes à perda de informação.
Esta dissertação tem como objetivo o desenvolvimento de mecanismos de suporte à
mobilidade do Consumidor para redes ICN, utilizando duas abordagens distintas de
comunicação: solicitação única de conteúdo e o modelo publish − subscribe. Os
esquemas propostos exploram uma entidade remota de previsão de mobilidade, cujo
objetivo é monitorizar e antecipar eventuais trajetórias de posição dos utilizadores
móveis, obrigando a infraestrutura a ajustar-se aos novos caminhos do consumidor,
resultando numa forma eficiente de gestão de mobilidade dos utilizadores com o
objetivo de garantir uma melhor qualidade de serviço.
A implementação e avaliação dos esquemas propostos foi realizada utilizando o
ndnSIM, em cenários funcionais e não funcionais. Estes últimos utilizam registos
reais de mobilidade e conetividade urbana. Os resultados obtidos mostram
que a solução proposta ultrapassa significativamenta a versão nativa do NDN e as
soluções tradicionais de publish − subscribe, considerando a taxa de entrega de
conteúdos e sobrecarga da rede.Mestrado em Engenharia de Computadores e Telemátic
Integrated Sensing and Communications for IoT: Synergies with Key 6G Technology Enablers
The Internet of Things (IoT) and wireless generations have been evolving
simultaneously for the past few decades. Built upon wireless communication and
sensing technologies, IoT networks are usually evaluated based on metrics that
measure the device ability to sense information and effectively share it with
the network, which makes Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC) a pivotal
candidate for the sixth-generation (6G) IoT standards. This paper reveals
several innovative aspects of ISAC from an IoT perspective in 6G, empowering
various modern IoT use cases and key technology enablers. Moreover, we address
the challenges and future potential of ISAC-enabled IoT, including synergies
with Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RIS), Artificial Intelligence (AI),
and key updates of ISAC-IoT in 6G standardization. Furthermore, several
evolutionary concepts are introduced to open future research in 6G ISAC-IoT,
including the interplay with Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN) and Orthogonal
Time-Frequency Space (OTFS) modulation.Comment: 7 pages, 6 figure

Self-Evolving Integrated Vertical Heterogeneous Networks
6G and beyond networks tend towards fully intelligent and adaptive design in
order to provide better operational agility in maintaining universal wireless
access and supporting a wide range of services and use cases while dealing with
network complexity efficiently. Such enhanced network agility will require
developing a self-evolving capability in designing both the network
architecture and resource management to intelligently utilize resources, reduce
operational costs, and achieve the coveted quality of service (QoS). To enable
this capability, the necessity of considering an integrated vertical
heterogeneous network (VHetNet) architecture appears to be inevitable due to
its high inherent agility. Moreover, employing an intelligent framework is
another crucial requirement for self-evolving networks to deal with real-time
network optimization problems. Hence, in this work, to provide a better insight
on network architecture design in support of self-evolving networks, we
highlight the merits of integrated VHetNet architecture while proposing an
intelligent framework for self-evolving integrated vertical heterogeneous
networks (SEI-VHetNets). The impact of the challenges associated with
SEI-VHetNet architecture, on network management is also studied considering a
generalized network model. Furthermore, the current literature on network
management of integrated VHetNets along with the recent advancements in
artificial intelligence (AI)/machine learning (ML) solutions are discussed.
Accordingly, the core challenges of integrating AI/ML in SEI-VHetNets are
identified. Finally, the potential future research directions for advancing the
autonomous and self-evolving capabilities of SEI-VHetNets are discussed.Comment: 25 pages, 5 figures, 2 table
