In this paper, we propose Floating Band D2D, an adaptive framework to exploit the full potential of Device-to-Device (D2D) transmission modes.

Recently, the University of Leon with the support of the Spanish National Institute of Cybersecurity has established the Research Institute of Applied Sciences in Cybersecurity (RIASC). This new institute has three main missions: research, education and transfer technology in cybersecurity. In this framework, RIASC has launched (jointly with other national and international institutions) the research Project MITHRA – “Multi-distributed Intelligence Towards Higher Resilience Assets”. 

 A highly interesting trend in mobile network optimization is to exploit knowledge of future network capacity to allow mobile terminals to prefetch data when signal quality is high and to refrain from communication when signal quality is low. While this approach offers remarkable benefits, it relies on the availability of a reliable forecast of system conditions.

On April 22nd, 2015, IMDEA Networks and Telefonica, in collaboration with the SEPI Foundation, launch a new edition of the Talentum Startups program.

Many data collection protocols have been proposed to cater for the energy-efficient flow of sensor data from distributed sources to a sink node. However, the transmission of control commands from the sink to one or only a small set of nodes in the network is generally unsupported by these protocols.

In the last years, the increasing social awareness about the need for containing energy consumption within sustainable rates has caught the interest of both the industrial and academic communities.

In this talk, I will discuss an architecture called Energy Aware Disaster Recovery Network using WiFi Tethering (E-DARWIN). The underlying idea is to seamlessly integrate mobile devices carried by the people in a disaster area into the emergency response network by exploiting the WiFi tethering capability that is ubiquitously available in nearly all smartphones already.

While some see in Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) a routing ambrosia to be enshrined, others perceive a basis of serious Internet connectivity limitations. Because the interdomain routing protocol realizes contracts between Autonomous Systems (ASes), this paper argues that contractual and routing issues need to be tackled jointly to overcome the connectivity limitations. We propose Route Bazaar, a backward-compatible system for flexible Internet connectivity. Inspired by the decentralized construction of trust in cryptocurrencies, Route Bazaar uses a decentralized public ledger and cryptography to provide ASes with automatic means to form, establish, and verify end-to-end connectivity agreements.

Today the Internet, as we know it, stands as an increasingly important element in every societal domain. Never before have people (and machines) had such an amount of potential content at their fingertips (or interfaces), and different ways to share it.

Mobile data traffic is increasing rapidly and wire- less spectrum is becoming a more and more scarce resource.
