Mobile Ad hoc NETworks (MANETs) are becoming more essential to wireless communications due to growing popularity of mobile devices. However, MANETs do not seem to effectively support multimedia applications and especially video transmission. In this work, we propose a cross-layer design that aims to improve the performance of video transmission using TCP Friendly Rate Control (TFRC). Our design provides priority to video packets and exploits information from the MAC layer in order to improve TFRC's performance. The proposed cross-layer mechanism utilizes Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) measurements along the routing path, in order to make the route reconstruction procedure more efficient. Simulation results show that both the use of traffic categorization and the SNR utilization lead to important improvements of video transmission over the mobile Ad hoc network. More specifically, simulations indicate increased average Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR) for the received video, increased throughput and packet delivery ration, as well as reduced average end-to-end delay.

Commuters in India face a lot of vehicular problems which usually go unreported and thus, unattended. This is because making a location aware complaint is an inconvenient affair. This paper presents the architecture of a Voice Enabled Global Positioning System (GPS) based approach for reporting vehicular complaints on an Android platform. The complaint is registered via the Short Message Service (SMS) over the Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM). GPS tracking enhances the accuracy and competence of the complaint system by mapping the location where the complaint was issued. This will aid the authorities to identify the spot and have the problems resolved responsively. Since the proposed system is voice enabled and Android based on the complainant side, it will serve as a facilitative platform for Indian road commuters to send complaints to the relevant authorities, in addition to the existing channels, so that these issues could be addressed in a timely manner.

Past research has proposed the usage of assisting cells with Multimedia Broadcast/Multicast Service (MBMS) over a Single Frequency Network (MBSFN) to increase the the Spectral Efficiency (SE) of LTE. In this paper we propose and investigate a method for optimizing the power consumption of the network while retaining an acceptable SE for most users. We design an algorithm that makes use of genetic optimization and analytical estimation of the SE. The algorithm is implemented in a novel simulation tool that allows experimentation over various user distributions and LTE deployments similar to the real-world ones. This simulation tool estimates the SE of each user and is able to optimize the network deployment by adjusting the individual transmission power levels for each cell.

The use of femtocells has been an attractive solution since it achieves better coverage and capacity and low cost for deployment and maintenance. However, their performance can be compromised by the cross-tier interference with existing macrocell infrastructure or between adjacent femtocells, especially in the case of co-channel deployment. One way to address this, is adjusting the transmit power of every femto base station with respect for overall performance. To this direction, we have implemented a framework that simulates femtocell overlays over LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) macrocellular systems. The framework allows power management over user-defined femtocell deployment, deciding their power levels according to three different power schemes. The resulting throughput is presented for every point of the macrocell in a user-friendly GUI. In this paper, we present the design of this framework and discuss the results.
