This paper introduces a novel formalism to improve the performance of an off-body system by deploying multiple ultra wideband (UWB) antennas, positioned strategically on the body. A methodology is presented for determining the optimal positions of UWB antennas on the body, necessary to provide a reliable multiband orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (MB-OFDM) UWB diversity antenna system operating in…

On fairness in LTE downlink MAC scheduling algorithms
A downlink MAC scheduler aims to improve the radio resources utilization in the Long Term Evolution (LTE) network. The MAC scheduler is responsible for sharing the available radio Resource Blocks (RBs) among different User Equipment (UEs) in time and frequency domains. Several downlink MAC schedulers have been proposed and implemented; however, providing fairness in terms…
Blockage Robust and Efficient Scheduling for Directional mmWave WPANs
With the increase in emerging bandwidth-intensive applications, millimeter-wave (mmWave) communications in 60-GHz band have become a hot topic. There are two unique features that sharply distinguish mmWave wireless personal area networks (WPANs) from other networks using lower carrier frequencies. First, mmWave links use high-gain directional antennas to overcome the high propagation loss. Second, mmWave links are easily blocked by the human body and furniture.…
Investigation of Diagonal Antenna-Chassis Mode in Mobile Terminal LTE MIMO Antennas for Bandwidth Enhancement
A diagonal antenna-chassis mode is investigated in long-term evolution multiple-input-multiple-output (LTE MIMO) antennas. The MIMO bandwidth is defined in this paper as the overlap range of the low-envelope correlation coefficient, high total efficiency, and -6-dB impedance matching bandwidths. Utilizing the diagonal mode analysis, the MIMO bandwidth of the collocated MIMO antennas is improved efficiently at the…
Towards migrating security policies of virtual machines in Software Defined Networks
Virtual machine migration is an essential capability that supports cloud service elasticity. However, there is a big concern on what happens to the security policy associated with the migrated machine. Recently, Software Defined Networking (SDN) has gained momentum in both research and industry. It has shown great potential to be used in cloud data centers, particularly for inter-domains migration…
Realization of congestion in software defined networks
Software defined networking[1][9] has brought a rapid change in networking industry by providing programmability and abstraction. it also enables centralization of control in infrastructure. In this paper, we describe the results of our experiment to determine the performance of SDN by simulating Open vSwitch under conditions of congestion. We did experiments on MININET by creating four compute nodes and…
A Framework for Security Services Based on Software-Defined Networking
This paper proposes a framework for security services using Software-Defined Networking (SDN) and specifies requirements for such a framework. It describes two representative security services, such as (i) centralized firewall system and (ii) centralized DDoS-attack mitigation system. For each service, this paper discusses the limitations of legacy systems and presents a possible SDN-based system to protect network resources by controlling…
Geospatial ontology-based mission assignment in Wireless Sensor Networks
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have been a focus for research in recent years. They enable data gathering across a wide range of domains and areas of interest from health service to environment monitoring, security, etc. Sensors are becoming cheaper, and as a result are being deployed in high density, at the same time; users’ requirements…
