3-D structure of the Rio Grande Rift from 1-D constrained joint inversion of receiver functions and surface wave dispersion
(Elsevier, 2014-01-01) Romero, Rodrigo
The Southern terminus of the Rio Grande Rift region has been poorly defined in the geologic record, with few seismic studies that provide information on the deeper Rift structure. In consequence, important questions related to tectonic and lithospheric activity of the Rio Grande Rift remain unresolved. To address some of these geological questions, we collect and analyze seismic data from 147 EarthScope Transportable Array (USArray) and other seismic stations in the region, to develop a 3-D crust and upper mantle velocity model. We apply a constrained optimization approach for joint inversion of surface wave and receiver functions using seismic S wave velocities as a model parameter. In particular, we compute receiver functions stacks based on ray parameter, and invert them jointly with collected surface wave group velocity dispersion observations. The inversions estimate 1-D seismic S-wave velocity profiles to 300 km depth, which are then interpolated to a 3-D velocity model using a Bayesian kriging scheme. Our 3-D models show a thin lower velocity crust anomaly along the southeastern Rio Grande Rift, a persistent low velocity anomaly underneath the Colorado Plateau and Basin and Range province, and another one at depth beneath the Jemez lineament, and the southern RGR.
A 3D Game Tool for Mobile Networks Planning
(IEEE, 2010-02-10) Madriñán, Patricia
In this work, we show the concept of serious game applied to a 3D game for mobile planning. We combine the use of a traditional planning tool with a 3D game engine, representing propagation models as "avatars". The tool allows to execute an initial planning and also to "play" a game according to "missions" like perform a planning with a coverage objective.
A Comparison of Taxonomies for Model Transformation Languages
(Universidad de los Andes, 2010-01-01) Tamura Morimitsu, Gabriel
Since the introduction of the MDE/MDA/MDD ideas for software systems development several years ago, a number of different (meta)modeling and model transformation languages have been proposed. Although the OMG's QVT standard specification has somewhat stabilized the number of new model transformation languages, it is likely that new ones will continue to appear, following different paradigms and approaches. However, the evolution towards the consolidation of models as a unifying, foundational and consistent concept for software-intensive system development, requires the realization of a set of ideal characteristics for the specification of model transformation languages. Several works have been proposed for defining characterization and classification schemes, and the set of these ideal characteristics.
A flexible mid-term frequency domain scheduler for resource allocation in Hetnets based on the SINR requested by users
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2014-11-05) Navarro Cadavid, Andrés
This article solves the resource allocation problem for the downlink of a multi-cell, multiservice Wireless Mobile Communications System (WMCS) with heterogeneous architecture deployed into an urban environment using Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) in its physical level. The optimization model aims to equitably satisfy services to users by making an efficient use of the available resources using the Signal to Interference-plus-Noise Ratio (SINR). It is a Mixed Integer Nonlinear Programming (MINLP) model whose solution is complex to obtain directly. The proposed solution algorithm decouples the solution space of the problem and uses an iterative and distributed approach to implement a frequency-domain scheduler in the medium term that uses a global vision of the system to allocate resources trying to obtain the SINR required for all users (the proposed goal). Since it is not always possible to achieve the proposed goal, we take advantage of the elasticity of some of the services offered and incorporating the slack variable ΔPref to solve it. The approach allows selecting the frequency allocation strategy, the exploration focus of the search space and the system administrator's vision.
A flexible mid-term frequency domain scheduler for resource allocation in HetNets based on the SINR requested by users
(Elsevier, 2015-03-01) Pachón de la Cruz, Alvaro
This article treats the resource allocation problem for the downlink of a multi-cell, multiservice Wireless Mobile Communications System (WMCS) with heterogeneous architecture deployed into an urban environment using Long Term Evolution (LTE) and Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) in its physical level. The optimization model aims to satisfy services to users by making an efficient use of the available resources, and a fair frequency block allocation, using the Signal to Interference-plus-Noise Ratio (SINR). It is a Mixed Integer Nonlinear Programming (MINLP) model whose solution is complex to obtain directly. The proposed solution algorithm decouples the solution space of the problem and uses an iterative and semi-distributed approach to implement a frequency-domain scheduler in the medium term that uses a global vision of the system to allocate resources trying to obtain the SINR required for all users (the proposed goal). Since it is not always possible to achieve it, we take advantage of the elasticity of some of the services offered and incorporate a slack variable to solve it. The approach allows selecting the frequency allocation strategy, the exploration focus of the search space and the system administrator's vision. The results obtained show that the implementation that uses a coordinated frequency allocation obtains better results in the amount of users with full satisfaction and in the use of power when compared to implementations using other frequency allocation strategies. In scenarios with heterogeneous architecture, the combined effect of picocells and coordinated frequency allocation improves the value for the defined performance metrics.

A Model to Guide Dynamic Adaptation Planning in Self-Adaptive Systems
(Elsevier, 2016-03-14) Arboleda Jiménez, Hugo Fernando
Self-adaptive enterprise applications have the ability to continuously reconfigure themselves according to changes in their execution contexts or user requirements. The infrastructure managing such systems is based on IBM's MAPE-K reference model: a Monitor and an Analyzer to sense and interpret context data, a Planner and an Executor to create and apply structural adaptation plans, and a Knowledge manager to share relevant information. In this paper we present a formal model, built on the principles of constraint satisfaction, to address dynamic adaptation planning for self-adaptive enterprise applications. We formalize, modify and extend the approach presented in [H. Arboleda, J. F. Díaz, V. Vargas, and J.-C. Royer, "Automated reasoning for derivation of modeldriven spls," in SPLC'10 MAPLE'10, 2010, pp. 181-188] for working with self-adaptation infrastructures in order to provide automated reasoning on the dynamic creation of structural adaptation plans. We use a running example to demonstrate the applicability of such model, even in situations where complex interactions arise between context elements and the target self-adaptive enterprise application.
A multihop-authenticated proxy mobile IP scheme for asymmetric VANETs
(IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology, 2013-01-01) Cespedes Umaña, Sandra Lorena
Vehicular communications networks are envisioned for the access to drive-thru Internet and IP-based infotainment applications. These services are supported by roadside access routers (ARs) that connect vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) to external IP networks. However, VANETs suffer from asymmetric links due to variable transmission ranges caused by mobility, obstacles, and dissimilar transmission power, which make it difficult to maintain the bidirectional connections and to provide the IP mobility required by most IP applications. Moreover, vehicular mobility results in short-lived connections to the AR, affecting the availability of IP services in VANETs. In this paper, we study the secure and timely handover of IP services in an asymmetric VANET and propose a multihop-authenticated Proxy Mobile IP (MA-PMIP) scheme. MA-PMIP provides an enhanced IP mobility scheme over infrastructure-to-vehicle-to-vehicle (I2V2V) communications that uses location and road traffic information. The MA-PMIP also reacts, depending on the bidirectionality of links, to improve availability of IP services. Moreover, our scheme ensures that the handover signaling is authenticated when V2V paths are employed to reach the infrastructure so that possible attacks are mitigated without affecting the performance of the ongoing sessions. Both analysis and extensive simulations in OMNeT++ are conducted, and the results demonstrate that the MA-PMIP improves service availability and provides secure seamless access to IP applications in asymmetric VANETs. © 2013 IEEE.
A novel correlation adaptive receiver structure for high speed transmissions in ultra wide band systems with realistic channel estimation
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2009-10-01) Navarro Cadavid, Andrés
Impulse radio ultra wide band (UWB) communications require robust receivers; typically Rake receivers are required to capture a large number of resolvable paths, (even hundred of paths), so large number of correlators are needed; otherwise, adaptive receivers use complex filters and channel estimation algorithms. Therefore, traditional Impulse Radio receivers demand non-practical implementation structures. In this paper we propose a novel correlation-adaptive receiver structure with low complexity for indoor high speed ultra wide band systems. This novel structure combines correlation characteristics from rake receivers with recursive filters from adaptive receivers. The receiver includes a low complexity recursive channel estimation filter capable of estimating hundreds of channel impulse responses, and a single filter-correlation filter used for coherent bit demodulation. Furthermore, we derive by simulations the bit error rate for high density multipath environments for several Impulse Radio modulations like TH-PPM, DS-BPSK and TH-BPSK and we compare the performance of the proposed structure with typical Rake receivers. © 2009 IEEE.
A Survey of Attack Mechanisms on Infrastructure-Mode 802.11 Wireless Networks and Their Detection
(IGI Global, 2015-01-01) Madrid Molina, Juan Manuel
The 802.11 wireless network revolution has not come without trouble. Since their creation, wireless networks have been plagued with security problems, derived from poor initial design of 802.11 security mechanisms, accelerated deployment and adoption of the technology, and lack of user education. The goal of this article is to present the reader with a survey of the currently documented detectable attacks to infrastructure-mode 802.11 wireless networks, and a proposal of mechanisms and metrics that can be used to detect such attacks. The attacks and their detection methods are divided in seven categories: Denial-of service, traffic analysis attacks, passive eavesdropping, attacks against WEP, attacks against WPA and WPA2 in pre-shared key (PSK) and Enterprise modes, and man-in-the-middle attacks.

Adaptive planning of 3G/4G systems using Q-analysis or polyhedral dynamics
(IEEE International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications, PIMRC, 2004-01-01) Cardona, Narcis
In this paper we present a method for use Q-analysis in the initial planning process and later dynamic adaptation for 3G/4G cellular systems that intends to balance load in order to maximize capacity and reduce lost and dropped calls independently of the type of service. We support our proposal on dynamic simulations made with an own developed tool for dynamic simulations of CDMA systems, and show initial results that partially probe our proposed method.
Agrupamiento mediante Q-análisis
(Universidad Icesi, 2010-11-25T22:17:31Z) Múnera Salazar, Luis Eduardo
This article presents a novel clustering algorithm, based upon topology concepts and Q-analysis. The algorithm allows to create a structural clustering, which does not depend on the knowledge of similarity measures, distances, etc. The clustering is directed in a natural fashion by the internal topology of the network/ graph. Such topology becomes evident by applying Q-analysis, by means of the structure vector, which shows the network’s internal Q-connectivity.
Ajuste estadístico de modelos de propagación de señal usando medidas de la ciudad de Cali
(Universidad de Santiago de Cali,, 2012-03-20) Ardila, Carlos Andredy
La dificultad de estimar con exactitud la influencia de los obstáculos, los edificios y el terreno en la pérdida de trayectoria de la señal hace que los modelos de propagación, generalmente utilizados para la planificación de redes inalámbricas externas, en entornos urbanos incluyan algunos elementos empíricos. Por lo tanto, la ecuación final generalmente contiene constantes y coeficientes para los diferentes términos, que se obtienen principalmente a partir del análisis estadístico de mediciones recolectadas durante actividades de drive test en grandes áreas de la ciudad. Desafortunadamente, estos resultados son realmente válidos únicamente para las áreas de la ciudad en las que se obtuvieron y, en el mejor de los casos, para áreas o ciudades similares. Sin embargo, si el nivel de similitud no es suficiente, es necesario realizar ajustes, un proceso que resulta en la formulación de nuevas constantes y nuevos coeficientes. El propósito de este artículo es discutir algunos de los hallazgos obtenidos durante el proceso de ajuste estadístico al escenario de la ciudad de Cali, de los modelos Okumura-Hata, Stanford University Interim (SUI) y Walfisch-Bertoni, usando mediciones.

Análisis basado en parámetros QoS para el servicio VoIP sobre wireless en un campus universitario
(Universidad de Manizales, 2014-07-31) Olave, Alexander
VoIP is one of the services that has been developing over under this type of wireless platforms and today has begun to implement as an alternative to the PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network). The interest in VoIP is its cost-benefit ratio, and that organizations can use the same platform for their data network to transmit voice. Therefore it is important that the organization is clear that to ensure the smooth operation of the VoIP service, ie provide QoS, you must perform the measurement of parameters that affect the quality of service such as: delay, jitter, bandwidth, packet loss. In this paper we analyze and validate the QoS parameters needed to ensure the smooth operation of VoIP over wireless network on the Icesi University campus. We performed a series of tests in different scenarios to show that not only factors such as delay and jitter influencing the quality of service, but also the client signal strength received from of the AP (Access Point). Keywords : Voice over IP, Quality of service, Packet Loss, Delay, Delay variation, signal intensity.
