Despite the increasing usage of mobile communications, strengthened by growing penetration smartphones, end users seem to be concerned about potential health risks electromagnetic fields (EMF) induced such technologies, according latest statistics gathered Eurobarometer. The Low EMF Exposure Networks (LEXNET) project aims at designing techniques able reduce corresponding exposure, without jeopardizing quality experience perceived end-users. In order tackle that goal, a first step must...
The climate situation and the energy crisis have prompted a number of policies strategies that foster adoption renewable sources. To tackle intermittency fluctuations associated with operation these sustainable sources, hydrogen appears as an appealing solution to decarbonize different economic sectors. In this sense, design implementation hybrid energy-hydrogen system has led first electrically self-sufficient social housing in Spain, located town Novales (Cantabria). On other hand,...
A collection of slides from a conference presentation is given. In particular network dimensioning and cost estimation based on service parameters are considered.
In this paper we present the approach that is going to be fostered within framework of Low EMF Exposure Future Networks (LEXNET) project assess exposure electromagnetic fields in a city-scale area. The novelty lies on fact low-complexity dosimeters will massively deployed (exploiting possibilities brought about by an IoT platform) and their measurements afterwards processed corresponding exposure. LEXNET aims at filling gap between two different ways dealing with proposing new metric,...
The European Regulator Group (ERG) defines Bitstream Access Service as a wholesale service offered by broadband network operator with significant market power to an Internet Provider, and identifies it subject regulation. This paper develops cost model for the under xDSL technology, following recommendations of ERG, considering different user classes differentiated QoS requirements. For this purpose, three traffic engineering methods are analysed: separate virtual tunnels, over-engineering...
This paper presents Reward Based Routing Protocol (RBRP), a novel routing protocol for wireless mesh networks, that aims at reducing and fairly distributing the Electromagnetic Field (EMF) Exposure caused by transmissions. The basis of this is reward-based scheme in which intermediate nodes forward packets receive reward proportional to degree exposure they generate. By means simulation campaign over NS-3 framework, we assess RBRP clearly outperforms legacy approach terms exposure, while it...
LEXNET project, funded by the European Commission, is introducing new concepts for assessment of population EMF exposure. It also aims at evaluating capability future technologies to reduce this The platform presented in paper an original tool a continuous measurement multi-band downlink Electric Field strength scale city, relying on SmartSantander sensor network that was developed previous project. testbed integrates equipment capture E-field strength, i.e. connected dosimeters. work...
Peer-To-Peer (P2P) traffic represents almost 60 % of Internet traffic, and involves personal computers working during periods full-time operation (Always-ON). The rational use shared resources opens up the possibility reducing energy consumption associated with this type operation. This
Most network operators and Internet service providers are offering Triple Play products that integrate services with different QoS requirements. A correct tariff scheme for these should be correlated the cost of production. This paper proposes a model based on TELRIC to calculate distribute element according usage each user type makes it, demanded by user. The is required types three traffic engineering methods: over-engineering, separated virtual tunnels priority queuing, studies their...
During the last decade Internet of Things has become one key technologies in supporting digital transformation several ecosystems such urban or industry ones. The huge amount data generated contexts as well imperative requirements terms trustworthiness, authenticity and integrity make compulsory adoption proper solutions fitting those requirements. This paper presents design, implementation validation a distributed ledger technology architecture emphasizing services linked to valorization.
