Secure data transmission is a critical issue for wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Clustering is an effective and practical way to enhance the system performance of WSNs. In this paper, we study a secure data transmission ...

Consolidating virtual machines (VMs) on as few physical machines (PMs) as possible so as to turn into sleep as many PMs as possible can make significant energy savings in cloud centers. Although traditional online bin ...

We propose a resource management framework that reduces energy consumption in cloud data centers. The proposed framework predicts the number of virtual machine requests along with their amounts of CPU and memory resources, ...

This paper studies the outage probability minimization problem for a multiple relay network with energy harvesting constraints. The relays are hybrid nodes used for simultaneous wireless information and power transfer from ...

This paper proposes an efficient spectrum and power allocation solution for a large scale dynamic spectrum access (DSA) systems. Unlike conventional methods relying on optimization techniques which need huge computational ...

Diabetic therapy or insulin treatment enables patients to control the blood glucose level. Today, instead of physically utilizing syringes for infusing insulin, a patient can utilize a gadget, for example, a Wireless Insulin ...

Implantable medical devices are being increasingly used to treat or monitor different medical conditions. For such purposes, wireless is the most desired communication scheme to be implemented in these devices. On the other ...

Implantable medical devices (IMDs) are electronic devices implanted within human body for diagnostic, monitoring, and therapeutic purposes. It is imperative to guarantee that IMDs are completely secured since the patient's ...

Secure data aggregation has been widely studied in the area of smart grid. Many existing schemes have studied protecting user’s privacy in data aggregation by using advanced cryptographic tools. However, they usually ...

With the rapid development of smart cities, various types of sensors can rapidly collect a large amount of data, and it becomes increasingly important to discover effective knowledge and process information from massive ...
