On going demands to connect massive amounts of the heterogeneous mobile devices and data traffics make the mobile operators in desperate need to find energy-efficient solutions for coverage and real-time services. Accordingly, mobile femtocells are found to be a promising solution in the coming few decades. This paper presents energy-based analysis for mobile femtocells in Ultra-Large Scale (ULS) applications such as the smart-grid. The potential reduction of the consumed energy and service interruption due to mobility and multihop communication effects are considered as well as various performance metrics such as throughput, availability, and delay. In that sense the smart-grid is modeled as a green wireless communication system for traffic offloading while considering mobility of the femtocell base-station (FBS) as well as the FBS cut-offs for energy-saving aspects. A typical scenario, called e-Mobility, is considered as a case study where a set of mobile femtocells are utilized inside a single macrocell in order to achieve optimized utilities' usage. Numerical results achieved from the proposed smart-grid model have been verified and validated via extensive simulation results while considering typical operational conditions/parameters.

SWARM-based data delivery in Social Internet of Things
Hasan, Mohammed Zaki; Al-Turjman, Fadi (Elsevier BV, 2019-03-01)
Social Internet of Things (SIoTs) refers to the rapidly growing network of connected objects and people that are able to collect and exchange data using embedded sensors. To guarantee the connectivity among these objects and people, fault tolerance routing has to be significantly considered. In this paper, we propose a bio-inspired particle multi-swarm optimization (PMSO) routing algorithm to construct, recover and select k-disjoint paths that tolerates the failure while satisfying quality of service (QoS) ...

In recent years, with the rapid increase in the number of mobile connected devices and data traffic, mobile operators have been trying to find solutions to provide better coverage and capacity for mobile users. In this respect, deployment of femtocells is a promising solution. This paper presents performability analysis of femtocells. Unlike the existing studies, the potential reduction of the service capacity due to failures are considered as well as various performance metrics such as throughput, mean que...
A Wireless Vehicle-based mobile network infrastructure designed for smarter cities
Quer, Giorgio; Aktas, Tugcan; Librino, Federico; Javidi, Tara; Rao, Ramesh R. (Elsevier BV, 2019-03-15)
The evolution of smart city services and applications requires a more efficient wireless infrastructure to provide the needed data rate to users in a high-density environment with high mobility, satisfying at the same time the request for high-connectivity and low-energy consumption. To address the challenges in this new network scenario, we propose to opportunistically rely on the increasing number of connected vehicles in densely populated urban areas. The idea is to support the macro base station (BS) wi...

In this paper, we propose a framework for data delivery in large-scale networks for disaster management, where numerous wireless sensors are distributed over city traffic-infrastructures, shopping-malls' parking areas, airports' facilities, etc. In general, our framework caters for energy-efficient applications in the Internet of Things (IoT) where data is propagated via relays from diverse sensor-nodes towards a gateway connected to a large-scale network such as the Internet. We consider the entire network...
Cognitive-Node Architecture and a Deployment Strategy for the Future WSNs
Al-Turjman, Fadi (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019-10-01)
The advent of sensing and communication technologies represents the next step in the evolution of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) and future applications. Future WSNs systems demand that connected devices could be able to work autonomously, while surfing on-line generated data and process them for self-decision making. Accordingly, we propose a cognitive Information-Centric Sensor Network (ICSN) framework. The fundamentals of cognition in ICSN can be recognized as a promising direction in addressing opportu...
