Full textWe focus on low complexity maximum likelihood detection. The em algorithm is a broadly applicable approach to the iterative computation of ml estimates, useful in variety of incomplete-data problems, where algorithms such as the newton-raphson method may turn out to be more complicated. In the first part of the thesis, we use em algorithm to estimate the channel amplitudes blindly and compare the results with the cramer-rao bound (crb). The second part of the thesis concerns the detection problem in mimo systems. We are able to device an algorithm for approximate ml detection using a discrete geometric approach. The advantage of this algorithm is that its performance is polynomial irrespective of the snr and no heuristic is employed in our algorithm. An alternative way to ml problem is to devise low complexity algorithms whose performance is close to the exact ml. This can be done using semidefinite programming (sdp) approach. The computational complexity of the sdp approach is comparable to the average complexity of the sphere decoder but still it is quite complicated for large systems. We obtained low complexity (by reducing the number of the variables) approximate ml by second order cone programming (socp) approach. In the above discussion the channel state information is assumed to be known at the receiver. We further looked into the problem of detection with no channel knowledge at the receiver. The result was the joint channel-symbol estimation. We obtained the results of joint channel-symbol estimation using em algorithm and in order to reduce the complexity of the resulting em algorithm, we used mean field theory (mft) approach

Full textNowadays, it has become easy to edit images, such as blurring an area, or changing it to hide or add an object, a person, etc. Image editing is one of the basic tools of most image processing software. In the context of audio signals, it is often more natural to perform such an editing in a transformed domain, in particular the time-frequency domain. Again, this is a fairly common practice, but not necessarily based on sound theoretical arguments. Application cases include the restoration of regions of the time-frequency plane where information has been lost (e.g. phase information), the reconstruction of a degraded signal by an additive perturbation well localized in the time-frequency plane, or the separation of signals localized in different regions of the time-frequency plane. In this thesis, we propose and develop theoretical and algorithmic methods to solve this issue. We first formulate the problem as a missing data reconstruction problem in which the missing data are only the phases of the time-frequency coefficients. We formulate it mathematically, then we propose three methods to solve it. Secondly, we propose an approach that consists in attenuating a source of degradation with the assumption that it is localized in a specific region of the time-frequency plane. We consider the case where the signal of interest is perturbed by an additive signal and has an energy that is more widely spread in the time-frequency plane. We formulate it as an optimization problem designed to attenuate the perturbation with precise control of the level of attenuation. We obtain the exact solution of the problem which involves operators called Gabor multipliers

Full textThis thesis investigates the security of virtual network migration. Over the years, virtualization has been used to optimize physical resources and to support businesses’ infrastructure. Virtualization consists in exposing a fraction of a resource for a user to operate. Virtual Machines are used to host business services like web servers or a backup service. Network virtualization has not benefited from the same interest from researchers and the industry. The Software Defined Networking paradigm has introduced new possibilities to implement network virtualization and provide users with a flexible network, decoupled from the physical equipment. Virtual Networks are used to interconnect Virtual Machines and can be configured with specific routing policies or security protocols. In case of a failure of the resource, either accidental or intentional, the virtualization infrastructure will migrate the resource to maintain the service provided.The security of Virtual Machines and their migration is a well-researched topic that has been widely in the past, while the study of network virtualization and especially the migration process only are at an early stage. The attack surface of network virtualization is similar in nature to the virtualization of legacy resources, and presents an additional aspect because of the use of Software Defined Networking.The motivation of this research is to investigate the security of the virtual network migration process in the context of Software Defined Networking. In order to do so, we first define the scope of the study and focus on the networking aspect of the migration. Then, we outline the threat model of the migration process and devise a detection mechanism against attacks in the virtualization infrastructure. Finally, we optimize the previous mechanism by optimizing the deployment of network monitoring resources for an optimal coverage.In the first part of this thesis we propose a formal approach to describe the different aspects of the virtualization infrastructure. We use a first order formalism to model several security properties as a set of logical predicates. These predicates account for both physical and virtual elements of the virtualization infrastructure, and the data use by both end users and the infrastructure owner.An execution trace is generated during the migration of a virtual network, and will be used by a theorem prover to compute a formal proof to verify if a security violation occurred. The first order model is based on the assumption that the execution trace is generated using perfect monitoring. This implies that the proof is complete and that the networking monitoring is always done under optimal conditions.We alleviate this assumption by modeling a resource allocation problem to determine how the monitoring resources should be deployed and which network nodes provide the best coverage. We solve this problem using a Markov Decision Process, and determine a dynamic deployment of monitoring resources during the migration. We conclude our optimization with a proposition of a static deployment of the resources prior to the migration

Full textTo address the enhanced mobile broadband, massive and critical communications for the Internet of things, Fifth Generation (5G) of mobile communications is being deployed, nowadays, relying on multiple enablers, namely: Cloud Radio Access Network (C-RAN), Software-Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV).C-RAN decomposes the new generation Node-B into: i) Remote Radio Head (RRH), ii) Digital Unit (DU), and iii) Central Unit (CU), also known as Cloud or Collaborative Unit.DUs and CUs are the two blocks that implement the former 4G Baseband Unit (BBU) while leveraging eight options of functional splits of the front-haul for a fine-tuned performance. The RRH implements the radio frequency outdoor circuitry. SDN allows programming network's behavior by decoupling the control plane from the user plane and centralizing the flow management in a dedicated controller node. NFV, on the other hand, uses virtualization technology to run Virtualized Network Functions (VNFs) on commodity servers. SDN and NFV allow the partitioning of the C-RAN, transport and core networks as network slices defined as isolated and virtual end-to-end networks tailored to fulfill diverse requirements requested by a particular application. The main objective of this thesis is to develop resource-provisioning algorithms (Central Processing Unit (CPU), memory, energy, and spectrum) for 5G networks while guaranteeing optimal provisioning of VNFs for a cloud-based infrastructure. To achieve this ultimate goal, we address the optimization of both resources and infrastructure within three network domains: 5G Core Network (5GC), C-RAN and the SDN controllers. We, first formulate the 5GC offloading problem as a constrained-optimization to meet multiple objectives (virtualization cost, processing power and network load) by making optimal decisions with minimum latency. We optimize the usage of the network infrastructure in terms of computing capabilities, power consumption, and bitrate, while meeting the needs per slice (latency, reliability, efficiency, etc.). Knowing that the infrastructure is subject to frequent and massive events such as the arrival/departure of users/devices, continuous network evolution (reconfigurations, and inevitable failures), we propose a dynamic optimization using Branch, Cut and Price, while discussing objectives effects on multiple metrics.Our second contribution consists of optimizing the C-RAN by proposing a dynamic mapping of RRHs to BBUs (DUs and CUs). On first hand, we propose clustering the RRHs in an aim to optimize the downlink throughput. On second hand, we propose the prediction of the Power Headroom (PHR), to optimize the throughput on the uplink.We formulate our RRHs clustering problem as k-dimensional multiple Knapsacks and the prediction of PHR using different Machine Learning (ML) approaches to minimize the interference and maximize the throughput.Finally, we address the orchestration of 5G network slices through the software defined C-RAN controller using ML-based approaches, for all of: classification of performance requirements, forecasting of slicing ratios, admission controlling, scheduling and adaptive resource management.Based on extensive evaluations conducted in our 5G experimental prototype based on OpenAirInterface, and using an integrated performance management stack, we show that our proposals outperform the prominent related strategies in terms of optimization speed, computing cost, and achieved throughput

Full textIn this thesis, we designed and implemented a tool which performs optimizations that reduce the number of migrations necessary for a delivery task. We present our work on virtualization in the context of replication of video content servers. The work covers the design of a virtualization architecture for which there are also several algorithms that can reduce overall costs and improve system performance. The thesis is divided into several parts: optimal solutions, greedy (heuristic) solutions for reasons of scalability, orchestration of services, multi-objective optimization, service planning in complex active networks, and integration of algorithms in real platform. This thesis is supported by models, implementations and simulations which provide results that showcase our work, quantify the importance of evaluating optimization techniques and analyze the trade-off between reducing operator cost and enhancing end user satisfaction index
Younus, Muhammad Usman. "Contribution to energy optimization in WSN : routing based on RL and SDN oriented routing." Thesis, Toulouse 3, 2020. http://www.theses.fr/2020TOU30052.
Full textWireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have achieved great significance as these networks allow real-world observations because of their technical deployment into many global applications and low-power usage of computing devices. These networks consist of several on-chip sensors that are low-power and low-cost. The multi-hop communication at low data rates is made by a small range of communication of sensor nodes, but with limited bandwidth. Therefore, individual devices transmit their data to a central device (e.g., sink) by detecting the surrounding environment through the multiple-hops. WSNs applications mainly include healthcare monitoring, environmental monitoring, industrial monitoring, target tracking, and many other commercial areas. Such types of WSNs applications are low-powered nodes that remain active after their initial deployment for long-term without any external control. A node will discharge its battery in a couple of days when no energy-efficient approach is used for communication. It leads the researchers to develop routing protocols that should be able to minimize energy consumption. WSNs energy consumption can be reduced by managing network resources. For this purpose, some networking architectures (i.e., Software Defined Networking (SDN)) and learning techniques (i.e., Reinforcement Learning (RL)) can be used for network management (routing) that lead to reduce the energy consumption of sensor nodes. One of the solutions being proposed is the RL technique to overcome the routing problem. RL is a class of machine learning (ML) which provides a framework to learn the system from its previous interactions with environment to select future action efficiently. In RL, the learner is known as an agent that interacts with its environment to select the next action that would be applied to the environment. Also, it gets the feedback in terms of reward that can be positive or negative according to performed action. For example, to make the routing decision, the router interacts with neighboring nodes to select the next forwarder for the data packet transmission up to the destination (i.e., Base Station (BS) or sink node). In such case the router is an agent, the neighboring nodes behave as an environment for that agent, and actions select the next neighboring nodes to send the data packets. RL can be a good choice to optimize a routing path where network energy consumption is reduced to enhance the lifetime. Another proposed solution is the concept of SDN to overcome the routing problem. It can be defined as an emergent architecture of networks to carry out the decoupling of network control that is precisely programmable. This novel paradigm is dramatically promising to enable evolution and network management. The basic idea behind this concept is the same as computing resources and storage. In this thesis, we propose energy-efficient mechanisms in WSNs for the routing purposes to extend the network’s lifetime. The proposed work is performed by using two different techniques, namely as RL and SDN. The first part of this thesis provides a comprehensive detail of existing energy-efficient mechanisms; while, the second part contains the proposed techniques

In this part we provide a linear programming formulation of the problem based on virtual network function chain routing problem in a carrier network.

Full textSoftware-Defined Networking (SDN) has emerged as a new intelligent architecture for network programmability. The primary idea behind SDN is to move the control-plane outside the switches and enable external control of data-plane through a logical software entity called controller. Such approach benefits mobile network management by brining complete intelligence to the logically centralized controller. Network Function Virtualization (NFV) is the process of relocating or migrating network functions from dedicated hardware to generic servers. SDN and NFV are two closely related technologies that are often used together. The traditional mobile network architecture due to its strongest coupling between control and data planes along with limitations in scalability and flexibility requires the usage of cloud computing along with the recent revolutionary approaches in networking such as SDN and NFV to have an architecture that deploys on demand "Network-as-a-Service" for users. The global research focus of this thesis falls in to two main use cases of next generation mobile networks such as Telco and Vertical. In the telco use cases, we exploit the advantages of SDN to have flexible control framework for both Self-Organizing Networks (SON) and dynamic user processing split. In vertical use case, we apply various advantages of SDN and OpenFlow protocol to efficiently utilize the scare radio resources of wireless backhaul network in the train-to-ground communication system. Our SDN framework in general can be an efficient and alternative solution for RAN management i.e. Radio Optimization, Network Optimization, Mobility Management and Load Balancing can be achieved with such framework. Through analysis and experimentation of SDN frameworks for RAN, we shows that the proposed solutions can bring set of advantages to wireless networks such as flexibility, programmability, unified management, and enables new services

Full textEnterprises typically have their data spread over many software systems, such as custom made applications, CRM systems like SalesForce, CMS systems, or ERP systems like SAP. In these setting, it is often desired to integrate information from many data sources to accomplish some business goal in an application. Data may be stored locally or in the cloud in a wide variety of ways, demanding for explicit transformation processes to be defined, reason why it is hard for developers to integrate it. Moreover, the amount of external data can be large and the difference of efficiency between a smart and a naive way of retrieving and filtering data from different locations can be great. Hence, it is clear that developers would benefit greatly from language abstractions to help them build queries over heterogeneous data sources and from an optimization process that avoids large and unnecessary data transfers during the execution of queries. This project was developed at OutSystems and aims at extending a real product, which makes it even more challenging. We followed a generic approach that can be implemented in any framework, not only focused on the product of OutSystems.

Full textThe project is focused on the development of a predictive model that enables prediction of the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus supported by SAP Predictive Analytics. Its main purpose is the definition of a predictive model that allows institutions that offer health coverage (both public and private) to optimize their diagnostic process and also enables the use of the prediction result in order to determine which actions could be taken, based on medical recommendations, on behalf of the patients benefit. To achieve the purpose of the project, an investigation has been done where there was an alignment between the 4 main chronic diseases based on their economic impact and the 10 global goals set by the World Health Organization, identifying diabetes as the chronic disease of the biggest impact for Peru due to the growing incidence factor in the country, caused mainly because of serious deficiencies in daily nutritional habits and a lack of workout culture, along with being a disease that has the most incidence in developing countries such as Peru since it is not mitigated accordingly because of lack of prevention, knowledge or economic motives. There has also been a benchmarking of Predictive Analytics tools in order to see which one complies the best with the requirements of both the chronic disease and the Peruvian context.

Full textRecent advances in networks, such as Software Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV), are changing the way network operators deploy and manage Internet services. On one hand, SDN introduces a logically centralized controller with a global view of the network state. On the other hand, NFV enables the complete decoupling of network functions from proprietary appliances and runs them as software applications on general–purpose servers. In such a way, network operators can dynamically deploy Virtual Network Functions (VNFs). SDN and NFV benefit network operators by providing new opportunities for reducing costs, enhancing network flexibility and scalability, and shortening the time-to-market of new applications and services. Moreover, the centralized routing model of SDN jointly with the possibility of instantiating VNFs on–demand, may open the way for an even more efficient operation and resource management of networks. For instance, an SDN/NFV-enabled network may simplify the Service Function Chain (SFC) deployment and provisioning by making the process easier and cheaper. In this study, we aim at investigating how to leverage both SDN and NFV in order to exploit their potential benefits. We took steps to address the new opportunities offered in terms of network design, network resilience, and energy savings, and the new problems that arise in this new context, such as the optimal network function placement in the network. We show that a symbiosis between SDN and NFV can improve network performance and significantly reduce the network's Capital Expenditure (CapEx) and Operational Expenditure (OpEx)

Full textIn the last decades, there has been a constant increase in the awareness of company management about the importance of formal techniques in industrial settings to address problems related to monitoring and reliability, fault diagnosis, and optimal use of resources, during the management of plants. Of particular relevance in this setting are the so-called Automated Manufacturing Systems (AMSs), which are characterized by complex technological cycles that must adapt to changing demands. Modern AMSs are interconnected subsystems such as numerically controlled machines, assembly stations, automated guided vehicles, robots, conveyors and computer control systems. Manufacturers are using automated machines and controls to produce quality products faster and more efficiently. Meanwhile, these automated systems can provide critical information to help managers make good business decisions. However, due to the high flexibility of AMSs, failures such as a wrong assembly or a part put in a wrong buffer may happen during the operation of the system. Such failures may decrease the productivity of the system which has an economical consequence and can cause a series of disturbing issues. As a result, the performance optimization in AMSs are imperative. This thesis focuses on the performance evaluation and performance optimization of automated manufacturing systems using timed Petri nets models

Full textIn this dissertation, we deal with the design of algorithms to tackle the α-fair resource allocation problem in real-time and distributed Software-Defined Networks (SDN). First, we define three major requirements that picture the challenges of real-time algorithms implementable in modern distributed SDN controllers. Those challenges are the ability to provide feasible resource allocations at all times, good transient solutions in terms of optimality gap that converge in an acceptable number of inter-controller communication rounds, and their ability of being massively parallelized independently of the network architecture. We use the Alternating Directions Method of Multipliers to design an algorithm that simultaneously, and unprecedentedly, tackles the three challenges. Motivated by a first study of the structural properties of the α-fair model, where we derive a lower bound on the optimal solution, we tune the penalty parameter of the augmented Lagrangian of the problem in order to optimize the algorithm’s performance. We show that the algorithm can function in real-time when the traffic requirements can vary more or less abruptly. The variation of the traffic requirements are modeled by real-time varying coefficients of the optimization model that is solved on-the-fly and may represent various prioritization policies of the traffic (payment, traffic type, number of connections within a tunnel, etc). Then, we describe how to extend the algorithm to real world use cases with limited modifications to cope with multi-path load balancing and online adjustments. Furthermore, we address the problem of α-fairness when the environment is uncertain and the available amount of resources over the network links is known only through general density functions. The main focus there is, instead of feasibility, the notion of safety. We design a heuristic that polishes an outer relaxation of the problem, based on the sensitivity analysis of the static problem. In general, we are able to provide a safe and acceptably efficient solution by solving several static problems

The SONET/SDH Ring Assignment Problem (PALAS) treats to group localities in form of some rings, being respected the traffic's limitations of the equipment. Each ring uses a DXC (Digital Cross Connect) to make the communication with the others, being the DXC the equipment most expensive of the net, minimizing the number total of rings, will minimize the total net cost, problem's objective . This topology in rings provides a bigger capacity of regeneration. The PALAS is a problem in Combinatorial Optimization of NP-hard Class. It can be solved through Heuristics and Metaheuristics. In this text, we use Taboo Search while we keep a set of elite solutions to be used in the formation of a part of the collection of vocabulary's parts that in turn will be used in the Vocabulary Building. The Vocabulary Building will be started case Taboo Search does not reach the best solution for the instance. Three approaches had been implemented: one that only uses vocabulary's parts deriving of Taboo Search, one that it only uses vocabulary's parts randomly generated and a last one that it uses half come of the elite and half randomly generated

Full textParticle Swarm Optimisation (PSO) is based on a metaphor of social interaction such as birds flocking or fish schooling to search a space by adjusting the trajectories of individual vectors, called "particles" conceptualized as moving points in a multidimensional space. This thesis presents several algorithms/techniques to improve the PSO's global search ability. Simulation and analytical results confirm the efficiency of the proposed algorithms/techniques when compared to the other state of the art algorithms.

Full textThis PhD thesis investigates how to optimize Network Slice Placement in distributed large-scale infrastructures focusing on online heuristic and Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) based approaches. First, we rely on Integer Linear Programming (ILP) to propose a data model for enabling on-Edge and on-Network Slice Placement. In contrary to most studies related to placement in the NFV context, the proposed ILP model considers complex Network Slice topologies and pays special attention to the geographic location of Network Slice Users and its impact on the End-to-End (E2E) latency. Extensive numerical experiments show the relevance of taking into account the user location constraints. Then, we rely on an approach called the “Power of Two Choices"(P2C) to propose an online heuristic algorithm for the problem which is adapted to support placement on large-scale distributed infrastructures while integrating Edge-specific constraints. The evaluation results show the good performance of the heuristic that solves the problem in few seconds under a large-scale scenario. The heuristic also improves the acceptance ratio of Network Slice Placement Requests when compared against a deterministic online ILP-based solution. Finally, we investigate the use of ML methods, more specifically DRL, for increasing scalability and automation of Network Slice Placement considering a multi-objective optimization approach to the problem. We first propose a DRL algorithm for Network Slice Placement which relies on the Advantage Actor Critic algorithm for fast learning, and Graph Convolutional Networks for feature extraction automation. Then, we propose an approach we call Heuristically Assisted Deep Reinforcement Learning (HA-DRL), which uses heuristics to control the learning and execution of the DRL agent. We evaluate this solution trough simulations under stationary, cycle-stationary and non-stationary network load conditions. The evaluation results show that heuristic control is an efficient way of speeding up the learning process of DRL, achieving a substantial gain in resource utilization, reducing performance degradation, and is more reliable under unpredictable changes in network load than non-controlled DRL algorithms
