Energy Efficient IoT Data Collection in Smart Cities Exploiting D2D Communications

Fifth Generation (5G) wireless systems are expected to connect an avalanche of "smart" objects disseminated from the largest "Smart City" to the smallest "Smart Home". In this vision, Long Term Evolution-Advanced (LTE-A) is deemed to play a fundamental role in the Internet of Things (IoT) arena providing a large coherent infrastructure and a wide wireless connectivity to the devices. However, s...

Artificial intelligence and networking in integrated building management systems

In recent years the emphasis has moved towards integrating all a building’s systems via centralised building management systems (BMS). To provide a more intelligent approach to the facility management, safety and energy control in building management systems (IBMS), this paper proposes a methodology for integrating the data within a BMS via a single multi-media networking technology and providi...

Energy-Efficient D2D Communications Underlaying NOMA-Based Networks with Energy Harvesting

This letter investigates the resource allocation problem in device-to-device (D2D) communications underlaying a non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA)-based cellular network, where both cellular users and D2D users harvest energy from the hybrid access point in the downlink and transmit information in the uplink. We propose a low-complexity iterative algorithm to maximize the energy efficiency o...

Cloud networking and communications

Cloud computing is having an important impact on communication networks, both fixed and mobile, stimulating intensive research and standardization of new network architectures, protocols and resource management mechanisms. In the literature, significant attention has been devoted to system aspects of Cloud computing. More recently, however, the focus is shifting towards Cloud networking and com...
