Overlay Protection Against Link Failures Using Network Coding
This paper introduces a network coding-based protection scheme against single
and multiple link failures. The proposed strategy ensures that in a connection,
each node receives two copies of the same data unit: one copy on the working
circuit, and a second copy that can be extracted from linear combinations of
data units transmitted on a shared protection path. This guarantees
instantaneous recovery of data units upon the failure of a working circuit. The
strategy can be implemented at an overlay layer, which makes its deployment
simple and scalable. While the proposed strategy is similar in spirit to the
work of Kamal '07 & '10, there are significant differences. In particular, it
provides protection against multiple link failures. The new scheme is simpler,
less expensive, and does not require the synchronization required by the
original scheme. The sharing of the protection circuit by a number of
connections is the key to the reduction of the cost of protection. The paper
also conducts a comparison of the cost of the proposed scheme to the 1+1 and
shared backup path protection (SBPP) strategies, and establishes the benefits
of our strategy.Comment: 14 pages, 10 figures, accepted by IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networkin
Network Coding-based Protection Strategies Against a Single Link Failure in Optical Networks
In this paper we develop network protection strategies against a single link
failure in optical networks. The motivation behind this work is the fact that
of all available links in an optical network suffers from a single link
failure. In the proposed protection strategies, denoted NPS-I and NPS-II, we
deploy network coding and reduced capacity on the working paths to provide a
backup protection path that will carry encoded data from all sources. In
addition, we provide implementation aspects and how to deploy the proposed
strategies in case of an optical network with disjoint working paths.Comment: 6 pages, 3 figures, ICCES '0
Scalable and Cost Efficient Algorithms for Virtual CDN Migration
Virtual Content Delivery Network (vCDN) migration is necessary to optimize
the use of resources and improve the performance of the overall SDN/NFV-based
CDN function in terms of network operator cost reduction and high streaming
quality. It requires intelligent and enticed joint SDN/NFV migration algorithms
due to the evident huge amount of traffic to be delivered to end customers of
the network. In this paper, two approaches for finding the optimal and near
optimal path placement(s) and vCDN migration(s) are proposed (OPAC and HPAC).
Moreover, several scenarios are considered to quantify the OPAC and HPAC
behaviors and to compare their efficiency in terms of migration cost, migration
time, vCDN replication number, and other cost factors. Then, they are
implemented and evaluated under different network scales. Finally, the proposed
algorithms are integrated in an SDN/NFV framework. Index Terms: vCDN; SDN/NFV
Optimization; Migration Algorithms; Scalability Algorithms.Comment: 9 pages, 11 figures, 4 tableaux, conference Local Computer Networks

Blockage Prediction for Mobile UE in RIS-assisted Wireless Networks: A Deep Learning Approach
Due to significant blockage conditions in wireless networks, transmitted
signals may considerably degrade before reaching the receiver. The reliability
of the transmitted signals, therefore, may be critically problematic due to
blockages between the communicating nodes. Thanks to the ability of
Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RISs) to reflect the incident signals with
different reflection angles, this may counter the blockage effect by optimally
reflecting the transmit signals to receiving nodes, hence, improving the
wireless network's performance. With this motivation, this paper formulates a
RIS-aided wireless communication problem from a base station (BS) to a mobile
user equipment (UE). The BS is equipped with an RGB camera. We use the RGB
camera at the BS and the RIS panel to improve the system's performance while
considering signal propagating through multiple paths and the Doppler spread
for the mobile UE. First, the RGB camera is used to detect the presence of the
UE with no blockage. When unsuccessful, the RIS-assisted gain takes over and is
then used to detect if the UE is either "present but blocked" or "absent". The
problem is determined as a ternary classification problem with the goal of
maximizing the probability of UE communication blockage detection. We find the
optimal solution for the probability of predicting the blockage status for a
given RGB image and RIS-assisted data rate using a deep neural learning model.
We employ the residual network 18-layer neural network model to find this
optimal probability of blockage prediction. Extensive simulation results reveal
that our proposed RIS panel-assisted model enhances the accuracy of
maximization of the blockage prediction probability problem by over 38\%
compared to the baseline scheme
