The dissemination of video information contents migth enhance the performances of safety-related applications in vehicular ah-hoc networks (VANETs). A major problem concerns the high sensitivity of the compressed video streams to the severe channel ...

Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs) are considered as a special case of Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) and are recently gaining a great attention from the research community. Routing in VANETs has to adapt to special characteristics such as high speed ...

Vehicular Clouds introduces a new paradigm that addresses and potentially enhances underutilization of on-board computing resources through aggregation to solve several computational tasks in Intelligent Transportation System. The most challenging issue ...

Roadside units (RSUs) are a key component of future Intelligent Transportation Systems. Because of the limited capacity of RSUs, and the short lifespan of the connections initiated by passing-by vehicles, the communication resource should be used with ...

In this paper we provide a performance analysis framework for wireless industrial networks by deriving a service curve and a bound on the delay violation probability. For this purpose we use the $(\min, \times)$~stochastic network calculus as well as a ...

For most wireless sensor networks applications it is necessary to know the locations of all sensor nodes. Since sensor nodes are usually cheap, it is impossible to equip them all with GPS devices, hence the localization process depends on few static or ...

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) can be used to monitor otherwise difficult-to-reach environments due to the physical characteristics of the nodes and their ability to transmit data from a distance. However, they also bear the disadvantages of small life ...

Performance analysis of newly designed solutions is essential for efficient Internet of Things and Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) deployments. Simulation and experimental evaluation practices are vital steps for the development process of protocols and ...

This paper presents the OpenVisualizer Rover testbed, a simple, easy-to-deploy and cheap testbed for the Internet of Things (IoT). The OpenWSN project provides a free and pen-source implementation of a standards-compliant protocol stack for the IoT, as ...

This paper concerns the problem of testing wireless networks in a way that guarantees repeatability and reproducibility of experiments. To contribute to this research objective, we have developed WalT, a reproducible platform for running reproducible ...

Reliable and efficient broadcast functions are essential in large, dense, multi-hop low power wireless systems managed by a gateway. Previous approaches addressing this issue rely on centralized and/or solutions requiring complex implementations. This ...

The Internet of Things (IoT) is rapidly evolving from a vision to reality. Practical realisations of IoT systems will require experimentation and trials on real testbeds to ensure proper functioning and scalability under realistic conditions and ...

The need for authentic and effective portrayal of the spatio-temporally changing quality of wireless links has gained wide attention especially over the last decade. Software-based link quality estimators (LQE) classify links with help of packet ...
