The 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) has introduced the evolved Multimedia Broadcast/Multicast Service (e-MBMS) feature for cellular systems as an evolution to the existing MBMS service. To support e-MBMS in Long Term Evolution (LTE) systems, 3GPP recommends the use of Point-to-Multipoint (PTM) transmissions and MBMS over a Single Frequency Network (MBSFN). MBSFN is a new feature where a time-synchronized common waveform is transmitted from multiple cells. In this paper we investigate the provision of MBMS service over a combination of MBSFN and PTM transmission methods. A cost analysis of the MBMS service is presented based on the transmission cost over all the interfaces and nodes of the LTE architecture. We evaluate the performance of this transmission scheme from telecommunication cost perspective and we compare it with other transmission schemes. The performance evaluation has been performed with the aid of a new simulation tool that estimates the cost for the MBMS provision under different network topologies, MBSFN deployments and user distributions.
With the development of mobile code frameworks for embedded systems, an application can be structured as a set of cooperating components (agents) that are placed on the nodes of the system in a flexible way. Reducing ...

Modern industries are constantly aiming to maximize utilization and performance of their machine equipment and minimize costly and unscheduled downtime. In the recent years, this was made possible with the advancement of technology and the coming of the fourth industrial revolution, also known as Industry 4.0, which introduced the Internet of Things and Artificial Intelligence systems in industrial applications. This allowed the employment of predictive maintenance methods able to assess the health of the equipment and diagnose possible future failures. In this work, an experimental assembly was constructed comprised by an electrical motor, a reduction gear, an axle, a coupler, a bearing and a vibration sensor attached to the latter. Three types of experiments were conducted for the purpose of producing a labeled dataset based on vibration measurements. Specifically, measurements were made during the bearing's working in normal operating state, one with lack and one with excess amount of grease. A preliminary statistical analysis was performed while a Multilayer Perceptron model was employed to automatically predict the status of the bearing. The dataset is freely available at the Zenodo data repository.

Aiming at low power dissipation during testing, in this paper we present a methodology for deriving a novel BIST scheme for modified Booth multipliers. Reduction of the power dissipation is achieved by: (a) introducing a suitable test pattern generator (TPG) built of a 4-bit binary and a 4-bit Gray counter, (b) properly assigning the TPG outputs to the multiplier inputs and (c) significantly reducing the test set length. The achieved reduction of the total power dissipation is from 44.1% to 54.9%, the average reduction per test vector is from 21.4% to 36.5% while the reduction of the peaks is from 15.8% to 34.3%, depending on the implementation of the basic cells and the size of the MBM. The test application time is also reduced by 28.9% while the introduced BIST scheme implementation overhead is very small.

We consider routing and wavelength assignment (RWA) in a WDM network consisting of optical cross-connect (OXC) nodes that have color and direction constraints. These restricted node architectures have a smaller cost than the more flexible (and best performing) ones usually assumed in the RWA problem. This introduces an interesting tradeoff between the network performance achieved, in terms of network blocking and number of manual interventions required, and the cost of the node architecture used. In the process of comparing the node architectures, we propose an adaptation of an RWA algorithm that accounts for the lack of node flexibility, aiming to achieve using the constrained node architectures, performance similar to that obtained with the fully flexible node architectures. Additionally, we consider different transponder assignment policies and determine their effect on performance.
The fronthaul network architecture is the key to dealing with the massive traffic effectively and providing high-quality service, and the multiple base stations (BSs) deployed by it face the gigantic data transmission...

Designing in an environment of Virtual Reality is a field that gains ground. Although more and more applications are constantly released, the majority of designers have not yet been introduced into Virtual Reality. A widely used tool for designing is Rhino which has been released by McNeel and Rhino Developer encourages the users to create plug-ins for custom use of the software. In parallel, Meta's developing tools offer their users the chance to customize their own applications. Towards the direction of Virtual Reality integration, both have already released new products for their users. RhinoVR is an open source plug-in for Rhino, while at the same time Meta provides Oculus hardware and platform solutions for users to turn their concept into reality. What is yet to be developed is a model that encourages the customization of a VR design platform, focusing mainly on developing a personalized toolbox for designing.

A keyphrase (a multi-word unit) in a document denotes one or multiple keywords capturing a main topic of the underlying document. Finding good keyphrases of a document can quickly summarize knowledge for efficient decision making and benefit domains involving intensive text information. To date, existing keyphrase extraction methods cannot be customized to each specific document, mainly because their patterns used to form paraphrases are too restrictive and may not capture flexible keyword relationships inside the text. In this paper, we propose a sequential pattern mining based document-specific keyphrase extraction method. Our key innovation is to use wildcards (or gap constraints) to help extract sequential patterns, so the flexible wildcard constraints within a pattern can capture semantic relationships between words, and the system will have full flexibility to discover different types of sequential patterns as candidates for keyphrase extraction. To achieve the goal, we regard each single document as a sequential dataset, and propose an efficient algorithm to mine sequential patterns with wildcard and one-off conditions that allows important keyphrases to be captured during the mining process. For each extracted keyphrase candidate, we use some statistical pattern features to characterize it, and further collect all keyphrases from the document to form a training set. A supervised learning classifier is trained to identify keyphrases from a test document. Because our pattern mining and pattern characterization processes are customized to each single document, keyphases extracted from our method are highly specific for each document. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed sequential pattern mining method outperforms existing pattern mining methods in both runtime performance and completeness. Comparisons on keyphrase benchmark datasets also confirm that the proposed document-specific keyphrase extraction method is effective in improving the quality

A crucial point on the successful deployment of multicast services is the enhanced reliability by means of advanced error control schemes. To this direction Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) has standardized exclusively for Multimedia Broadcast/Multicast Services (MBMS) the use of a Forward Error Correction (FEC) mechanism on the application layer based on Raptor codes. Since the standardized systematic, fountain Raptor code is now considered obsolete, the emergence of a new variant of Raptor codes, named RaptorQ, provides enhanced capabilities for mobile multicast services. In this paper, we provide a performance comparison of the standardized Raptor Application Layer FEC (AL-FEC) scheme with the very promising RaptorQ FEC code. We examine the enhancements that RaptorQ introduces on the AL-FEC protection robustness, providing a thorough performance analysis in comparison with the current Raptor FEC scheme. Furthermore, in order to verify the improved performance of RaptorQ, we provide several simulation results utilizing the ns-3 environment, considering the application of both the examined AL-FEC schemes over multicast services for next generation mobile networks.
