Multiservice-based Network Slicing Orchestration with Impatient Tenants
Bin Han, Vincenzo Sciancalepore, Xavier Costa-Perez +2
The combination of recent emerging technologies such as network function virtualization (NFV) and network programmability (SDN) gave birth to the novel Network Slicing paradigm. 5G…
We Hear Your Activities through Wi-Fi Signals
Fang-Jing Wu, Gürkan Solmaz
In this paper we focus on the problem of human activity recognition without identification of the individuals in a scene. We consider using Wi-Fi signals to detect certain human mo…
Together or Alone: Detecting Group Mobility with Wireless Fingerprints
Gürkan Solmaz, Fang-Jing Wu
This paper proposes a novel approach for detecting groups of people that walk "together" (group mobility) as well as the people who walk "alone" (individual movements) using wirele…
Are You in the Line? RSSI-based Queue Detection in Crowds
Fang-Jing Wu, Gürkan Solmaz
Crowd behaviour analytics focuses on behavioural characteristics of groups of people instead of individuals' activities. This work considers human queuing behaviour which is a spec…
The Privacy Exposure Problem in Mobile Location-based Services
Fang-Jing Wu, Matthias R. Brust, Yan-Ann Chen +1
Mobile location-based services (LBSs) empowered by mobile crowdsourcing provide users with context-aware intelligent services based on user locations. As smartphones are capable of…
Resource Orchestration of 5G Transport Networks for Vertical Industries
K. Antevski, J. Martín-Pérez, Nuria Molner +12
The future 5G transport networks are envisioned to support a variety of vertical services through network slicing and efficient orchestration over multiple administrative domains.…
z-TORCH: An Automated NFV Orchestration and Monitoring Solution
Vincenzo Sciancalepore, Faqir Zarrar Yousaf, Xavier Costa-Perez
Autonomous management and orchestration (MANO) of virtualized resources and services, especially in large-scale Network Function Virtualization (NFV) environments, is a big challen…
NFV and SDN - Key Technology Enablers for 5G Networks
Faqir Zarrar Yousaf, Michael Bredel, Sibylle Schaller +1
Communication networks are undergoing their next evolutionary step towards 5G. The 5G networks are envisioned to provide a flexible, scalable, agile and programmable network platfo…
A Multi-traffic Inter-cell Interference Coordination Scheme in Dense Cellular Networks
Vincenzo Sciancalepore, Ilario Filippini, Vincenzo Mancuso +2
This paper proposes a novel semi-distributed and practical ICIC scheme based on the Almost Blank SubFrame (ABSF) approach specified by 3GPP. We define two mathematical programming…
On the Energy Efficiency of Rate and Transmission Power Control in 802.11
Iñaki Ucar, Carlos Donato, Pablo Serrano +3
Rate adaptation and transmission power control in 802.11 WLANs have received a lot of attention from the research community, with most of the proposals aiming at maximising through…
Fast Cell Discovery in mm-wave 5G Networks with Context Information
Ilario Filippini, Vincenzo Sciancalepore, Francesco Devoti +1
The exploitation of mm-wave bands is one of the key-enabler for 5G mobile radio networks. However, the introduction of mm-wave technologies in cellular networks is not straightforw…
