held September 08-10, 2015 in the fascinating city of Casablanca, Morocco.
The main purpose of this symposium is to serve as a forum that brings
together researchers and practitioners from academia and industry to discuss
recent developments in pervasive systems and ubiquitous networks. This
conference will provide a forum to exchange ideas, discuss solutions, debate
on identified challenges and share experiences among researchers and
professionals. UNet'15 aims also to promote new methodologies and to
provide the participants with advanced and innovative tools able to catch the
fundamental dynamics of the underlying complex interactions (e.g., game
theory, Mechanism Design theory, Learning theory, SDR platforms, etc.).
Accepted papers describe original research on both theoretical and practical
aspects of pervasive computing and future mobile computing.
This year, we received 94 submissions from 12 different countries
around the globe: Algeria, Brazil, Canada, Finland, France, Ireland, Mali,
Mexico, Morocco, Tunisia, Ukraine and United Arab Emirates. Of the
submitted papers, we selected 39 full papers and 6 short papers for
publication in the proceedings and presentation in the conference.
We are grateful to our Technical Program and Executive Committees for
their support. Without their help, expertise and experience we would not
have been able to select such an outstanding technical program. The
conference also included three technical talks from very prestigious
scientists: Marwan Krunz from University of Arizona, Mounir Ghogho from
University of Leeds, and Tarik Taleb from University of Aalto. We would like
to express our gratitude to them for accepting to give a talk at UNet'15; their
presence was a privilege for us all. Our warm thanks go to Mohammed
Essaaidi for his support. We finally thank our sponsors and patrons for their
effort and good work at making the conference a great success.

7 Abstract : Until recently, the ability to achieve simultaneous wireless
transmission and reception over the same channel was deemed impossible,
due to high self-interference on the receive chain. As a result, bidirectional
communications using half-duplex (HD) devices is typically achieved by
separating the forward and reverse links in time or frequency. This common
practice was recently challenged by several studies, which for the first time
demonstrated true full-duplex (FD) operation over the same channel. By
employing a variety of conventional and new self-interference suppression
(SIS) techniques, a reduction of up to 110 dB in self-interference was
demonstrated on single-antenna devices, just enough to enable FD operation
on WiFi systems. The impact of these successes on wireless network design
and protocols is enormous, as evident by the intensive research activity in
this domain.
In this talk, we will discuss a specific application of FD and SIS, in the
context of opportunistic dynamic spectrum access (DSA) systems. In such
systems, secondary users (SUs) are allowed to access the licensed spectrum
opportunistically, provided that they do not cause harmful interference to
primary users (PUs). This is often done through a “listen-before-talk” (LBT)
strategy, whereby an SU must periodically interrupt its transmission to sense
the channel for any PU activity before resuming. During channel sensing, the
SU cannot transmit data, which degrades its throughput significantly. If the
SU generates real-time or media-streaming traffic, periodic interruption of
its transmission results in unacceptable audiovisual artifacts and connection
loss. To remedy these issues, our group has been exploring using SIS
techniques in one of two possible ways: simultaneous transmission-andreception (STAR) and simultaneous transmission-and-sensing (STAS). The
ability to operate in either mode gives rise to a spectrum
awareness/efficiency tradeoff. More specifically, an SU may improve the
spectrum utilization by operating in the STAR mode, which will dramatically
increase the link throughput. On the other hand, the SU may exploit its SIS
capabilities in the STAS mode, enabling it to monitor the PU activity while
transmitting and to quickly vacate the channel if such activity is detected. In
practice, SIS is imperfect, and residual self-interference may degrade the
sensing accuracy of the STAS mode, compared to a classical (HD) sensing 8 only mode. Our discussion encompasses all these modes of operation, along
with a possible channel-switching (CS) mode. We will also address the
implications of FD operation on multi-link scenarios (e.g., ad hoc networks),
and particularly the potential degradation in network throughput as a result
of the additional interference that FD devices inject onto the network. A
preliminary channel access protocol that allows nodes to adapt their HD/FD
operation, along with its transmission power and rate, will be introduced.
Abstract : A fluid/elastic network architecture which supports “user centric”
services will be a central feature for 5G wireless networks. Such a fluid
architecture leverages the fact that for ultra-dense networks, the control and
the user-planes can be decoupled. Consequently, the network can be treated
as a soft entity which can support a variety of user demands by dynamic
reconfiguration of the user plane. Furthermore, activities across
heterogeneous control planes can be coordinated through the network state
awareness and resource virtualization. It is difficult if not impossible to
realize such an architecture without the real time network and the user state
data. With around 6.2 billion internet-connected devices by the end of 2020,
the generated data has enormous volume, high velocity and huge variety. In
this talk, the main objective is to highlight how networks can be configured
by leveraging big data empowered self-organization. The design framework
for the big data empowered self-organized networks under split-plane
architecture presents various opportunities and challenges. Such an
architecture is an ideal candidate to unify evolving technologies into a unified
framework. The key architectural ingredients which will be explored briefly in
this talk are:
a) Proactive vs. Reactive Networks ;
b) Big Social Data ;
c) Information Centric Network Design ;
d) Self Organization for 5G Networks ;
e) Cloud RAN and HetNets ;
f] Energy Efficiency and Harvesting.
9 Abstract : The telecom industry keeps reinventing itself. Soon, the world will
be experiencing the 5th generation mobile networks (5G), also referred to as
beyond 2020 mobile communication systems. Major obstacles to overcome
in 5G systems are principally the highly centralized architecture of mobile
networks along with the static provisioning and configuration of network
nodes built on dedicated hardware components. This has resulted in lack of
elasticity and flexibility in deployment of mobile networks; rendering their
run-time management costly, cumbersome and time-consuming. Software
Defined Networking, Network Function Virtualization, and Cloud Computing,
along with the principles of the latter in terms of service elasticity, ondemand features, and pay-per-use, could be important enablers for various
mobile network enhancements, to specifically virtualize and decentralize
mobile networks using general-purpose COTS (commercial of the shelf)
hardware. For this purpose, different requirements have to be met and
numerous associated challenges have to be subsequently tackled. This talk
will touch upon the recent trends the mobile telecommunications market is
experiencing and discuss the challenges these trends are representing to
mobile network operators. To cope with these trends, the talk will then
showcase the feasibility of on-demand creation of cloud-based elastic
mobile networks, along with their lifecycle management. The talk will
introduce a set of technologies and key architectural elements to realize such
vision, turning end-to-end mobile networking into software engineering.
