Comparing ISPs on broadband speed is challenging, since measurements can vary due to subscriber attributes such as operation system and test conditions such as access capacity, server distance, TCP window size, time-of-day, and network…

As broadband Internet speeds continue to increase, the home wireless ("WiFi") network may more frequently become a performance bottleneck. Past research, now nearly a decade old, initially documented this phenomenon through indirect…

Separating mid-path Internet performance from edge effects remains a fundamental challenge in network measurement. This paper presents a methodology for detecting anomalous topology, routing policies, and congested interconnections using…

This paper addresses the use of smart-home sensor streams for continuous prediction of energy loads of individual households which participate as an agent in local markets. We introduces a new device level energy consumption dataset…

Extensive research has been done on studying the capacity of wireless multi-hop networks. These efforts have led to many sophisticated and customized analytical studies on the capacity of particular networks. While most of the analyses are…

Broadband connectivity is a key metric in today's economy. In an era of rapid expansion of the digital economy, it directly impacts GDP. Furthermore, with the COVID-19 guidelines of social distancing, internet connectivity became necessary…

Communication-enabled devices routinely carried by individuals have become pervasive, opening unprecedented opportunities for collecting digital metadata about the mobility of large populations. In this paper, we propose a novel methodology…

As the demand for mobile connectivity continues to grow, there is a strong need to evaluate the performance of Mobile Broadband (MBB) networks. In the last years, mobile "speed", quantified most commonly by data rate, gained popularity as…

Electrical energy consumption has been an ongoing research area since the coming of smart homes and Internet of Things devices. Consumption characteristics and usages profiles are directly influenced by building occupants and their…

With the large-scale penetration of the internet, for the first time, humanity has become linked by a single, open, communications platform. Harnessing this fact, we report insights arising from a unified internet activity and location…

Carrier Grade NAT (CGN) mechanisms enable ISPs to share a single IPv4 address across multiple customers, thus offering an immediate solution to the IPv4 address scarcity problem. In this paper, we perform a large scale active measurement…

The wide adoption of smart meters makes residential load data available and thus improves the understanding of the energy consumption behavior. Many existing studies have focused on smart-meter data analysis, but the drivers of energy…

One of the most far-reaching use cases of the internet of things is in smart grid and smart home operation. The smart home concept allows residents to control, monitor, and manage their energy consumption with minimum loss and…

The smart meter data analysis contributes to better planning and operations for the power system. This study aims to identify the drivers of residential energy consumption patterns from the socioeconomic perspective based on the consumption…

In this paper, we investigate whether "big-data" is more valuable than "precise" data for the problem of energy disaggregation: the process of breaking down aggregate energy usage on a per-appliance basis. Existing techniques for…

The seek for the best quality of service has led Cloud infrastructure clients to disseminate their services, contents and data over multiple cloud data-centers often involving several Cloud Service Providers (CSPs). The consequence of this…

In this paper, we empirically demonstrate the growing importance of reliability by measuring its effect on user behavior. We present an approach for broadband reliability characterization using data collected by many emerging national…

An end-to-end fiber-based network holds the potential to provide multi-gigabit fixed access to end-users. However, deploying fiber access, especially in areas where fiber is non-existent, can be time-consuming and costly, resulting in…

With the advancement of the Internet of Things (IoT) and communication platform, large scale sensor deployment can be easily implemented in an urban city to collect various information. To date, there are only a handful of research studies…

As the smart home IoT ecosystem flourishes, it is imperative to gain a better understanding of the unique challenges it poses in terms of management, security, and privacy. Prior studies are limited because they examine smart home IoT…
