Mobility in 6LoWPAN (IPv6 over Low Power Personal Area Networks) is being utilized realizing many applications where sensor nodes, while moving, sense and transmit the gathered data to a monitoring server. By employing IEEE802.15.4 as baseline for link layer technology, implies low rate power consumption with periodic sleep wakeups without requiring them incorporate complex hardware. Also enabling nodes IPv6 ensures that can be accessed anytime anywhere from world. Several existing...

LTE Network Function Virtualization (LTE-NFV) scales user services in a low cost fashion by transforming the centralized legacy Core architecture to distributed architecture. This makes multiple instances of Functions (NFs) and virtualizes them on commodity data-center network. The functionality LTE-NFV breaks however, since NF connected via unreliable IP links delay execution critical events. failure time-critical events results users' quality service degradation temporary unavailability....

Anti-malware engines are the first line of defense against malicious software. While widely used, feature engineering-based anti-malware vulnerable to unseen (zero-day) attacks. Recently, deep learning-based static detectors have achieved success in identifying attacks without requiring engineering and dynamic analysis. However, these susceptible malware variants with slight perturbations, known as adversarial examples. Generating effective examples is useful reveal vulnerabilities such...

Public cloud offers economy of scale to adapt workload changes in an autonomic manner, maximizing the use resources. Through network function virtualization (NFV), operators can move LTE core cloud; hence removing their dependency on carrier-grade functions.

Network Function Virtualization (NFV) migrates the carrier-grade LTE Evolved Packet Core (EPC) that runs on commodity boxes to public cloud. In new virtualized environment, EPC must offer high availability its mobile users upon failures. Achieving service is challenging because failover procedure keep latency-sensitive control-plane procedures intact during Through our empirical study, we show existing recovery mechanisms cloud and standardized solutions are coarse-grained, thus unable...

Network functions virtualization (NFV) allows service providers to deliver new services their customers more quickly by adopting software-centric network implementation over commercial, off-the-shelf hardwares. This NFV-based approach cannot use dedicated mechanisms implemented custom built boxes reduce latencies and tolerate faults. We present a case study of IP multimedia subsystem (IMS), which is the most complex NFV instance, requires extremely low end-to-end latency (40 msec), demands...

Target tracking is one of the key applications Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) that forms basis for numerous other applications. The overall procedures target involve detection, localization, and tracking. Because WSNs' resource constraints (especially energy), it highly desired should be done by involving as less number sensor nodes possible. Due to uncertain behavior resulting mobility patterns, this goal becomes harder achieve without predicting future locations target. presence a...
