MoWNet Keynote 1: IoT for utilities: finally convergence of IT and OT

Keynote speaker: Régis Hourdouillie, Ericsson, France

Room: 2E07

Chair: Thomas Kunz (Carleton University, Canada)

Abstract

The presentation will explore, using real case studies, how the emergence of IoT changes the end to end solutions used by utilities for smart metering, smart grid and even smart cities. The first change is for Smart Metering. This change is happening in the communications layer with the Low Power Wide Area Networks solutions, as well as at the enablement and application platform levels. It also impacts the delivery model with more services in the cloud. Beyond smart metering, utilities are moving to IoT also for asset management and grid control. The use of some transverse solution for the IoT platform allows utilities to explore synergies between silos. The management of LV grid and microgrids is one example. Smart cities solution providing street lighting, traffic management and energy management is another example.

MoWNet Keynote 2: On Modeling and Performance Evaluations of Multi-hop Wireless Networks

Keynote speaker: Yi Qian (University of Nebraska-Lincoln)

Room: 2E07

Chair: Abderrahim Benslimane (University of Avignon & LIA/CERI, France)

Abstract

There has been a great deal of work on multi-hop mobile wireless networks and protocol issues, and research is ongoing to expand the scope and quality of service of these networks. The performance of multi-hop mobile wireless networks is normally evaluated via simulation over a fixed time horizon using a steady-state type of statistical analysis procedure. However, due to the dynamic nature of the network topology such an approach may be inappropriate in many cases as the network may spend most of the time in a transient or nonstationary state. The credibility of simulation studies of multi-hop wireless networks have to be evaluated. On the other hand, with the increasing of the number of the mobile nodes, the computational cost of a discrete event simulation will be increasing tremendously. When incorporating a newly developed wireless network protocol into such a discrete event simulation, it usually can only evaluate a network scenario with a small number of nodes. Scalability is another of the most important issues on simulations of multi-hop mobile wireless networks. In this talk, we discuss the fundamental problems on credibility and scalability of simulations of multi-hop mobile wireless networks, by looking at the specific issues related to the traditional approaches on simulation modeling of multi-hop wireless networks. For improving the credibility and scalability of multi-hop wireless network performance evaluations, we further present a new performance modeling framework and detailed techniques for analyzing the time varying performance of mobile wireless networks. We demonstrate the performance modeling framework for dynamic behavior of mobile wireless networks, and show the possible extensions to the basic model, include incorporating energy consumption, interference and propagation effects into the hybrid modeling framework to improve its fidelity.
