Barrier coverage of wireless sensor networks has been studied intensively in recent years under the assumption that sensors are deployed uniformly at random a large area (Poisson point process model). However, when along line (e.g., dropped from an aircraft given path), they would be distributed with offsets due to wind and other environmental factors. It is important study barrier such line- based deployment strategy as it represents more realistic placement model than Poisson model. This...

In a virtualized infrastructure where physical resources are shared, single server failure will terminate several virtual servers and crippling the infrastructures which contained those servers. worst case, more failures may cascade from overloading remaining To guarantee some level of reliability, each infrastructure, at instantiation, should be augmented with backup nodes links that have sufficient capacities. This ensures that, when occur, computing available network topology is...

Nowadays, large-scale video distribution feeds a significant fraction of the global Internet traffic. However, existing content delivery networks may not be cost efficient enough to distribute adaptive streaming, mainly due lack orchestration on storage, computing, and bandwidth resources. In this paper, we leverage Media Cloud deliver on-demand streaming services, where those resources can dynamically scheduled in an fashion. Our objective is minimize total operational by optimally...

Information centric networks (ICNs) allow content objects to be cached within the network, so as provide efficient data delivery. Existing works on in-network caches mainly focus minimizing redundancy of improve cache hit ratio, which may not lead significant bandwidth saving. On other hand, it could result in too frequent caching operations, i.e., placement and replacement, causing more power consumption at nodes, shall avoided energy-limited delivery environments, e.g., wireless networks....

User behavior in the Internet has changed over recent years towards being driven by exchanging and accessing information. Many advances networking technologies have utilized this change focusing on content of an exchange rather than endpoints content, particular to better support mobility. Network coding information-centric are two examples these trends, each developed largely independently thus far. This paper brings areas together at internetworking layer. We outline opportunities for...

This paper describes the opportunistic routing in dynamic ad hoc networks, OPRAH protocols, which uses air interface to find a more optimal path for each packet network. In static environment connectivity is perturbed only by fading between two fixed points, performance of these protocols depends on how steady route is. Thus have following advantages: ability interoperate with wired ensure that network can communicate legacy infrastructure, it works low mobility environment, and should be...

Online social networks (OSNs) play an increasingly important role today in informing users about content. At the same time, mobile devices provide ubiquitous access to this content through cellular infrastructure. In paper, we exploit fact that interest spreads over OSNs, which makes it, a certain extent, predictable. We propose Proactive Seeding-a technique for minimizing peak load of networks, by proactively pushing ("seeding") selected before they actually request it. develop family...

Transcoding is widely adopted for content adaptation; however, it may incur excessive resource consumption and processing delays. Taking advantage of cloud infrastructure, cloud-based transcoding can elastically allocate resources under time-varying workloads perform multiple transcodings in parallel to reduce To provide as a service, systems require some intelligent mechanisms provision schedule tasks satisfy user requirements while maximizing financial profit. this end, we propose...

The increasing demand for media-rich content has driven many efforts to redesign the Internet architecture. As one of major candidates, information-centric network (ICN) attracted significant attention, where in-network cache is a key component in different ICN architectures. In this paper, we propose novel framework optimal management ICNs which jointly considers caching strategy and routing. Specifically, based on software-defined networking (SDN) controller responsible determining routing...

In the current Internet architecture, a packet is minimal or fundamental unit upon which different actions such as classification, forwarding, discarding are performed by network nodes. When faced with constrained poor conditions, subjected to undesirable drops and re-transmissions, resulting in unpredictable delays subsequent traffic overheads network. Alternately, we introduce qualitative communication services allow partial, yet timely, delivery of instead dropping it entirely. These...

Extensive research has demonstrated the potential improvement in physical layer performance when multiple radios transmit concurrently same radio channel. We consider how such cooperation affects requirements for full connectivity and percolation large wireless ad hoc networks. Both noncoherent coherent cooperative transmission are considered.
