Public safety communication networks have evolved over the past decade from land mobile systems to broadband and beyond. However, the emphasis remains on infrastructure-based communication systems. There is a potential ...

In this chapter, we present a Cell Outage Detection (COD) framework for Heterogeneous Networks (HetNets) with split control and data planes. COD is a pre-requisite to trigger fully automated self-healing recovery actions ...

Nowadays connectivity in the vehicles is becoming the base to enable safety, traffic efficiency, and infotainment applications. These applications require to exchange information with specific geographical locations. After ...

This chapter investigates the collaboration between multiple mobile operators for optimizing energy efficiency in cellular networks. Most of the works in the literature optimize the performance of a given cellular network, ...

Smart grid is becoming a new global commercial venture widely seen as a means to upgrade electrical infrastructure to enhance power savings and optimize some green goals of consumers by reducing greenhouse gas emissions ...

Traditional efforts for saving energy in cellular networks focus on reducing the transmit powers of base stations (BSs) and mobile devices. However, when a BS is in its working mode, studies show that more than 50% of the ...

Wearable Wireless Sensor Networks (W-WSN) aim to provide attractive alternate for conventional medical care system. It is an effective way of monitoring patients within clinics, hospitals and remotely from home, offices ...

Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) is a novel computing paradigm that brings data storage and computing resources closer to the end-users (i.e., at the network edge). The proximity between end users and the edge servers enables ...

The existence of multiple wireless technologies and standards spurs the development of a wide range of cooperative applications for vehicular networking environments. Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communication systems enable ...

This paper presents a simulation and evaluation of a UDP (User Datagram Protocol) client-server model using the Cooja simulator and Contiki OS System. The goal is to establish communication between the router, client, and ...
