Mobile users' correlated mobility and data consumption patterns often lead to severe cellular network congestion in peak hours and hot spots. This paper presents an optimal design of time and location aware mobile data pricing, which…
Existing memory reclamation policies on mobile devices may be no longer valid because they have negative effects on the response time of running applications. In this paper, we propose SWAM, a new integrated memory management technique that…
One of the key issues in mobile communication is to find the current location of mobile terminal (MT) to deliver the services, which is called as location management (LM). Increasing users and diverse services demand for a high-quality…
Advanced industrial applications for human-machine interaction such as augmented reality support for maintenance works or mobile control panels for operating production facility set high demands on underlying wireless connectivity solution.…
We propose application-layer coding schemes to recover lost data in delay-sensitive uplink (sensor-to-gateway) communications in the Internet of Things. Built on an approach that combines retransmissions and forward erasure correction, the…
The development of mobile cloud computing has brought many benefits to mobile users as well as cloud service providers. However, mobile cloud computing is facing some challenges, especially security-related problems due to the growing…
Recent trends show that there are swift developments and fast convergence of wireless and mobile communication networks with internet services to provide the quality of ubiquitous access to network users. Most of the wireless networks and…
A new type of logs, the command log, is being employed to replace the traditional data log (e.g., ARIES log) in the in-memory databases. Instead of recording how the tuples are updated, a command log only tracks the transactions being…
Mobile embedded devices of the Internet of Things (IoT) face tight resource constraints and uncertain environments, including energy scarcity and unstable connectivity. This aggravates debugging, optimization, monitoring, etc.; for which…
A theoretical method is empirically illustrated in finding the best time to forsake a loan such that the overall credit loss is minimised. This is predicated by forecasting the future cash flows of a loan portfolio up to the contractual…
The power management techniques to extend battery lifespan is becoming increasingly important due to longer user applications' running time in mobile devices. Even when users do not use any applications, battery lifespan decreases…
Machine learning (ML) models are increasingly integrated into modern mobile apps to enable personalized and intelligent services. These models typically rely on rich input features derived from historical user behaviors to capture user…
Software logs are of great value in both industrial and open-source projects. Mobile analytics logging enables developers to collect logs remotely from their apps running on end user devices at the cost of recording and transmitting logs…
Communication technology is a major contributor to our lifestyles. Improving the performance of communication system brings with various benefits to human beings. This report covers two typical such systems: wireless sensor networks and…
New hardware platforms, e.g. cloud, multi-core, etc., have led to a reconsideration of database system architecture. Our Deuteronomy project separates transactional functionality from data management functionality, enabling a flexible…
Improved mobile device battery lifetime and latency mini-mization are critical requirements for enhancing the mobile broadband services and user experience. Long-term evolution (LTE) networks have adopted discontinuous reception (DRX) as…
In 802.11 wireless infrastructure networks, as the mobile node moves from one access point to another, the active connections will not be badly dropped if the handoff is smooth and if there are sufficient resources reserved in the target…
We recently presented a methodology for quantitatively reducing the risk and cost of executing electronic transactions in a bursty network environment such as the Internet. In the language of portfolio theory, time to complete a transaction…
Fog computing is a promising computing paradigm for time-sensitive Internet of Things (IoT) applications. It helps to process data close to the users, in order to deliver faster processing outcomes than the Cloud; it also helps to reduce…
Mobile health applications that track activities, such as exercise, sleep, and diet, are becoming widely used. While these activity tracking applications have the potential to improve our health, user engagement and retention are critical…
