Mobile cloud computing is applied in multiple industries to obtain cloud-based services by leveraging mobile technologies. With the development of the wireless networks, defending threats from wireless communications have been playing a remarkable role in the Web security domain. Intrusion detection system (IDS) is an efficient approach for protecting wireless communications in the Fifth Genera...

With the rapid growth of wireless industry and related infrastructure, the demand for bandwidth is increasing exponentially and the initial works for designing the next generation (5G) mobile communications which accommodates a higher capacity has started. On the other hand, Energy is becoming a scarce resource and the need to optimize energy consumption in all industries as well as wireless in...

The METIS project is laying the foundations of Fifth Generation (5G) mobile and wireless communication system putting together the point of view of vendors, operators, vertical players and academia. METIS envisions a 5G system concept that efficiently integrates new applications developed in the METIS horizontal topics and evolved versions of existing services and systems. This article provides...

This papers summarizes the current proposal of the METIS-II project on the use of serious game engineering approach for the evaluation and visualization of 5G technologies. Based on UNITY 3D, a realistic scenario has already been implemented, including a portion of a city with every level of detail. This article discusses the representation of results and interaction with a conventional simulat...

Millimeter-wave 5G mobile architectures need to consolidate disparate frequency bands into a single, multifunctional array. Existing arrays are either narrow-band, prohibitively expensive or cannot be scaled to these frequencies. In this paper, we present the first ultra-wideband millimeterwave array to operate across six 5G and ISM bands spanning 24–71 GHz. Importantly, the array is realized u...

We consider the following location problem. New 5G networks are deployed by two competitive operators (called resp. O1 and O2), which we refer to as a leader and a follower due to their sequential entering the market. They compete to serve clients by installing and configuring base stations (BS). We assume that the leader had already made a decision and operating a 5G network. Follower arrives ...

The new emerging applications in 5G network, in the context of the Internet of Everything (IoE), will introduce high mobility, high scalability, real-time, and low latency requirements that raise new challenges on the services being provided to the users. Fortunately, Fog Computing and Cloud Computing, with their service orchestration mechanisms offer virtually unlimited dynamic resources for c...

Network slicing is the key to providing flexible, scalable and on-demand solutions for the vast array of applications in 5G networks. Two key challenges of 5G networks are the network slicing and guaranteeing end-to-end delay for a slice. In this paper, we address the question of optimal allocation of a slice in 5G core networks. We adopt and extend the work by D. Dietrich et al. [1] to create ...

Progressive rod-cone degeneration (PRCD) is an autosomal recessive disease caused by c.5G>A mutation of the PRCD exon 2. This mutation has been identified in various breeds, including Labrador Retriever. The present study aimed to examine the allelic frequency of PRCD in Labrador Retrievers in Japan. A domestic and a guide dog population were genotyped for PRCD using polymerase chain reaction-r...
