In this paper, we investigate a disaster management system using D2D cooperative communications. Specifically, we consider two D2D cells, one is in healthy area and the other is in disaster area, where a user equipment (UE) in healthy area aims to assist a UE in the disaster area to recover wireless information transfer (WIT) via an energy harvesting (EH) relay. In the healthy area, a cellular base station (BS) shares the spectrum with the UE even though they may belong to different service providers. In return, this UE will have to provide some incentives to the BS by paying prices for causing interference and for trading energy. We formulate these processes as two Stackelberg games, interference pricing and energy trading, where their Stackelberg equilibriums are derived in closed-form solutions. Finally, numerical results are provided to validate our proposed schemes. It is shown that the energy trading scheme outperforms the interference pricing scheme in terms of assistance efficiency for the disaster area.

Efficient and Reliable Multicast of Data in APCO P25 Systems
Cigirkan, Gulay; Girici, Tolga; Yüksel Turgut, Ayşe Melda (2015-01-01)
In this paper, we investigate an efficient scheme for data multicasting in narrowband public safety radio systems. The proposed scheme uses fountain encoding, in order to avoid feedback messages for each individual packet. We first propose a multistage estimation scheme that is based on slotted random access and that does not require any prior knowledge of number of users. The rest of the proposed scheme consists of iterative transmission and feedback/estimation phases. In feedback phases, the base station ...
Particle filter based Conjoint Individual-Group Tracker (CIGT)
YİĞİT, Ahmet; Temizel, Alptekin (2015-08-28)
In this paper, we present a method for joint tracking of individuals and groups in surveillance scenarios. Groups are dynamic entities and they may grow or shrink with merge-split events. This dynamic nature makes it difficult to track groups using conventional trackers. In this paper, we propose a new tracking method named Conjoint Individual and Group Tracker (CIGT) based on particle filter with multi-observation model and particle advection. The proposed multi-observation model uses in-group and out-grou...
3D Path Planning for Multiple UAVs for Maximum Information Collection
Ergezer, Halit; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2014-01-01)
This paper addresses the problem of path planning for multiple UAVs. The paths are planned to maximize collected amount of information from Desired Regions (DR) while avoiding Forbidden Regions (FR) violation and reaching the destination. The approach extends prior study for multiple UAVs by considering 3D environment constraints. The path planning problem is studied as an optimization problem. The problem has been solved by a Genetic Algorithm (GA) with the proposal of novel evolutionary operators. The ini...

Hybrid Approach for Mobile Couriers Election in Smart-cities
Al-Turjman, Fadi (2016-11-10)
In this paper we propose a hybrid heuristic approach for public data delivery under ultra-large-scale smart-city settings. In this approach, public transportation vehicles are going into election process to be utilized as Mobile Couriers (MCs) that read public Access Points (APs) data loads and relay it back to a central processing base-station. We also introduce a cost-based fitness function for the MCs election in the smart-city project which forms a real implementation for the Internet of Things (IoT) pa...
