There is an increasing demand by an ever-growing number of mobile customers for transfer of rich media content. This requires very high bandwidth which either cannot be provided by the current cellular systems or puts pressure on the wireless networks, affecting customer service quality. This study introduces COARSE – a novel cluster-based quality-oriented adaptive radio resource allocation scheme, which dynamically and adaptively manages the radio resources in a cluster-based two-hop multi-cellular network, having a frequency reuse of one. COARSE is a cross-layer approach across physical layer, link layer and the application layer. COARSE gathers data delivery-related information from both physical and link layers and uses it to adjust bandwidth resources among the video streaming end-users. Extensive analysis and simulations show that COARSE enables a controlled trade-off between the physical layer data rate per user and the number of users communicating using a given resource. Significantly, COARSE provides 25–75% improvement in the computed user-perceived video quality compared with that obtained from an equivalent single-hop network.
Experiences with a telecare platform integration of ZigBee sensors into a middleware platform
(2012)
In the field of smart metering it can be observed that standardized protocol, like Wireless M-Bus or ZigBee, enjoy a rapidly increasing popularity. For the protocol implementations, however, up to now, mostly legacy engineering processes and technologies are used, and modern approaches such as model driven design processes or open software platform are disregarded. Therefore, within the WiMBex project, it shall be demonstrated that it is possible to develop a commercial class Wireless M-Bus implementation following state-of-the art design process and using TinyOS as an open source platform. This contribution describes the overall approach of the project, as well as the state and the first experiences of the current work in progress.
The provisioning of security for highly dynamic wireless networks, as for Car2X applications is still a major topic, as very specific requirements have to be solved. Those include a perfect privacy level and advanced real-time behavior, and the necessity to work with a public infrastructure (PKI) to support secure authentication.
This contribution analyzes these requirements, discusses the existing approaches, performs a gap analysis and elaborates on proposals to fill these gaps. It describes work in progress within the KoFAS-initiative for the development of a cooperative pedestrian protection system (CPPS).
Die immer weitreichenderen Anwendungen des Smart Metering und des Smart Grid stellen immer höhere Anforderungen an Kommunikationstechnologien, die die Zielkonflikte aus Echtzeitfähige, Stabilität, Kosten und Energieeffizienz möglichst anwendungsoptimiert und auf einem immer höheren Niveau lösen. Insbesondere im Bereich der so genannten Primärkommunikation zwischen einem Sensor- oder Aktorknoten und einem Datensammler mit Gatewayfunktionalität konnten in den vergangenen Jahren wesentliche Fortschritte erzielt werden. Zu nennen sind hierbei insbesondere die Aktivitäten der ZigBee Alliance rund um den offenen Spezifikationsprozess des ZigBee Smart Energy Profiles (SEP) und der OMS-Gruppe beim ZVEI, die auf dem Wireless M-Bus nach EN13757-4 aufbauen, der sich seinerseits lebhaft und zielgerichtet weiter entwickelt. Der Beitrag diskutiert die vorhandenen Einschränkungen und die verfügbaren Lösungsansätze. Er illustriert diese anhand einiger öffentlich geförderter Projekte, an denen das Team des Autors beteiligt ist.
