The Internet of Things has affected all aspects of daily life, and the number of IoT devices is increasing day by day. According to forecasts, the number of Internet of Things devices will reach one trillion devices by 2035. The increase in…
Currently, there are over 14 billion IoT devices [7], and with many devices come many protocols, the main ones being MQTT and CoAP. We are interested in connecting the many diverse IoT devices to the cloud. To do so, we use the middleware…
Future wireless communications systems are expected to support multi-service operation, i.e. especially multi-rate as well as multi-level quality of service (QoS) requirements. This evolution is mainly driven by the success of the Internet…
During the initial years of its inception, the Internet was widely used for transferring data packets between users and respective data sources by using IP addresses. With the advancements in technology, the Internet has been used to share…
In the coming years, the interconnection of a large number of devices is expected, which will lead to a new form of interaction between the real and the virtual world. In this promising scenario, known as the Internet of Things, it is…
Automated negotiation has been used in a variety of distributed settings, such as privacy in the Internet of Things (IoT) devices and power distribution in Smart Grids. The most common protocol under which these agents negotiate is the…
TCP is the most widely used transport protocol in the internet. However, it offers suboptimal performance when operating over high bandwidth mmWave links. The main issues introduced by communications at such high frequencies are (i) the…
This paper surveys the message brokers that are in vogue today for distributed communication. Their primary goal is to facilitate the construction of decentralized topologies without single points of failure, enabling fault tolerance and…
Mobile inventory, mobile commerce, banking and/or commercial applications are some distinctive examples that increasingly use distributed transactions. It is inevitably harder to design efficient commit protocols, due to some intrinsic…
There is a growing trend for enterprise-level Internet of Things (IoT) applications requiring real-time horizontally scalable data processing platforms. Real-time processing platforms receiving data streams from sensor networks (e.g.,…
With the emergence of Internet-of-Things (IoT) and ever-increasing demand for the newly connected devices, there is a need for more effective storage and processing paradigms to cope with the data generated from these devices. In this…
Over the years, communication speed of networks has increased from a few Kbps to several Mbps, as also the bandwidth demand, Communication Protocols, however have not improved to that extent. With the advent of Wavelength Division…
Massive Machine Type Communication (mMTC) to serve billions of IoT devices is considered to open a potential new market for the next generation cellular network. Legacy cellular networks cannot meet the requirements of emerging mMTC…
In cellular massive Machine-Type Communications (MTC), a device can transmit directly to the base station (BS) or through an aggregator (intermediate node). While direct device-BS communication has recently been in the focus of 5G/3GPP…
The paper discusses M2M communications standards for smart metering. One of the our goals is to show the failures of ETSI standartization process for M2M communications. Our paper proposes some extesions to ETSI standards. At the first…
In this work, we propose a cross-layer framework for optimizing user association, packet offloading rates, and bandwidth allocation for Mission-Critical Internet-of-Things (MC-IoT) services with short packets in Mobile Edge Computing (MEC)…
The amount of textual data has reached a new scale and continues to grow at an unprecedented rate. IBM's SystemT software is a powerful text analytics system, which offers a query-based interface to reveal the valuable information that lies…
MIMO mobile systems, with a large number of antennas at the base-station side, enable the concurrent transmission of multiple, spatially separated information streams and, therefore, enable improved network throughput and connectivity both…
Quantum communication can enhance internet technology by enabling novel applications that are provably impossible classically. The successful execution of such applications relies on the generation of quantum entanglement between different…
While the evolution of the Internet was driven by the end-to-end model, it has been challenged by many flavors of middleboxes over the decades. Yet, the basic idea is still fundamental: reliability and security are usually realized…
