	abstract = {Today, intrusion detection has become an active research area. Due to the rapidly increasing number of intrusion variants, intrusion detection system analyses and notifies the activities of users as normal (or) anomaly. In our paper, we built a model of intrusion detection system applied to the NSL-KDD data set using different supervised classifiers such as KNN and Na{\"\i}ve Bayes. We also proposed two algorithms for multi-classification based on the Random Forest (RF) which is an ensemble classifier and KNN. Then we used the K-folds method to evaluate and validate our model. To evaluate the performances, we realized experiments on NSL-KDD data set. The result shows that the second proposed algorithm is efficient with high accuracy and time optimization. {\textcopyright} 2022 ACM.},

	abstract = {Over-The-Top broadcasts a huge number of medias that mobile network operators have to manage efficiently before to deliver it to their subscribers. We propose an economic pricing approach to address caching resource management issues in the 5G wireless networks and to overcome limitations in terms of throughput, latency, and reliability. Moreover, we consider this approach based on an oligopolistic multi-market deducted from Cournot, Stackelberg, and Bertrand models. For simulation purpose, we consider the routing protocol (Ad-hoc On-Demand Distance Vector [AODV]) commonly used for the wireless network. We use the NS-2 package, and we analyze results in terms of End-to-End delay representing latency, throughput, packet delivery ratio, and normalized network load. {\textcopyright} 2020 John Wiley \& Sons, Ltd.},

In this paper, we analyze the UAV-IoT device associations that provide reliable connections with low communication power and load balance the traffic using analytical techniques from game theory. In particular, to maximize the IoT devices{\textquoteright} benefits, a novel framework is proposed to assign them the most suitable UAVs. We formulate the problem as a distributed algorithm that combines notions from matching theory and no-regret learning. First, we develop a many-to-one matching game where UAVs and IoT devices are the players. In this subgame, the players rank one another based on individual utility functions that capture their needs. Each IoT device aims to minimize its transmitting energy while meeting its signal-to-interference-plus-noise-ratio (SINR) requirements, and each UAV seeks to maximize the number of served IoT devices while respecting its energy constraints. Second, a non-cooperative game based on no-regret learning is used to determine each IoT device{\textquoteright}s regret. Then, UAVs open a window for transfers to the IoT devices. Simulation results show that the proposed approach provides a low average total transmit power, ensures fast data transmission and optimal utilization of the UAVs{\textquoteright} bandwidth. {\textcopyright} 2017 IEEE.},

	abstract = {Network slicing (NS) will have an essential role to enhance the isolation and the flexibility of the future generation of cellular networks (5G) with heterogeneous capabilities, notably in ultra-dense (UD) urban zones. Thus, it may be the principal component necessary to respond to 5G UD heterogeneous networks (UD-HetNets) technical requirements. The aim of this paper is to propose a new NS architecture to resolve user equipment (UE)-association problem in 5G UD-HetNets. Accordingly, we formulated the problem as a one-to-many matching game based on matching theory, while exploiting the isolation character of slicing to eliminate interferences between pico-cells and those among macro-cell and pico-cells. Next, we proposed the UE-slice association algorithm (U-S.AA) to find the stable matching among user equipments (UEs) and different network slices. Numerical simulation results validate our theoretical model, and prove the efficient of the proposed user-slice association solution to enhance the global network performance, respecting the UEs quality of service (QoS), as well as improving the energy efficiency (EE) of UEs. {\textcopyright} 2020 IEEE.},

	abstract = {Recently, academic and industrial research communities are paying more explicit attention to the 5G multiple radio access technology ultra-dense networks (5G multi-RAT UDNs) for boosting network capacity, especially in UD urban zones. To this aim, in this paper, we intend to tackle the user association problem in 5G multi-RAT UDNs. By considering the decoupled uplink/downlink access (DUDA), we divide our user association problem into two distinct subproblems representing, respectively, the uplink and the downlink channels. Next, we formulated each one as a nonlinear optimization problem with binary variables. Then, to solve them, we were restricted by the hard complexity, as well as the hard feasibility of centralized user association schemes. Thus, to resolve our user association problem in a reasonable time and distributed manner, we formulated each subproblem as a many-to-one matching game based on matching theory. Next, we provide two fully distributed association algorithms to compute the uplink and downlink stable matching among user equipments (UEs) and base stations (BSs).

	abstract = {The Wireless Body Sensor Network (WBSN) is a wireless network that is designed to allow communication among sensor nodes that are attached to a human body to monitor the body{\textquoteright}s vital parameters and environment. The design and development of such WBSN systems for health monitoring have received a large amount of attention recently, in research studies and in industry. This attention is mainly motivated by costly health care and by recent advances in the development of miniature health monitoring devices as well as emerging technologies, such as the Internet of Things (IoT), which contribute to the main challenges of 5G. The existence of an explicit approach to address the required software design and verification should be very beneficial for the construction and maintenance of such systems. This paper presents a preventive health care system that has a flexible design. The proposed system is based on an architecture that has heterogeneous nodes and provides both daily continuous monitoring as well as specific controls. We defined a model to describe the WBSN{\textquoteright}s global behavior. An important aspect of this work is that we propose a model-driven engineering (MDE) approach to address the derivation of each node{\textquoteright}s behavior in the WBSN from the WBSN global behavior. This approach allows developers to obtain a system design from the global specification of its requirement. To ensure the conformance of this design to its specification, the derived behaviors should be validated and verified before their deployment. In fact, formal methods are powerful tools for software engineers to verify the logical correctness of concurrent software at different levels of its life cycle. Model checking is one of the most powerful formal methods for verifying the logical correctness of such concurrent systems. In this work, we make use of a model checking approach that is based on a model transformation to validate the automatically derived behavior of a WBSN for health monitoring. This model-driven approach will check whether the derived system behaves correctly according to its global specification, while the objective is to increase the system{\textquoteright}s performance and QoS. This approach allows the developer to reason about a model of the global system rather than about the system itself. {\textcopyright} 2017 Elsevier B.V.},

	abstract = {It is expected that the incessant use of SBSs by indoor mobile users to achieve high data rate and high energy efficiency for their smart mobile devices will drive ultra dense deployment of SCNs within MCNs, specifically in future smart cities. However, SCN densification has a hard effect on the deterioration of the energy efficiency and QoS throughput of mobile users equipped with smart mobile devices like smartphones, laptops, PDAs, and tablets. This degradation is due to the severe cross-tier interferences occurring in ultra dense co-channel deployments of SCNs within MCNs. The present article intends to study the energy efficiency of mobile users for better battery life management of their smart mobile devices through minimal energy consumption during their uplink transmissions. The proposed solution, based on a fully decentralized algorithm for sharing time access executed by SBSs and multi-homing capabilities of macrocellular users, improves the energy efficiency of mobile users for better battery life, and keeps their QoS throughput requirements. Therefore, it leads to the eco-friendly smart mobile devices required in future smart cities. The results validate our proposed solution and show the improvement achieved compared to the conventional access control mechanisms. Furthermore, our scheme requires no coordination among SBSs and macro base stations, which reduces the huge signaling overhead when using cooperative schemes. {\textcopyright} 2017 IEEE.},

Multimedia data transmission over wireless networks often suffers from delay, jitter and packet loss. The main problem to implement a wireless network is the high and variable bit error rate in the radio link (fading, shadowing etc). Among the most important performance measures for real time applications are the packet loss probability. In order to improve the radio link, one often retransmits packets that have not been well received (using the Automatic Retransmission reQuest). This however may lead to queuing phenomena and increased delay due to retransmissions, and to losses of packets due to buffer overflow. In this paper, we allow that the number of retransmission is finite. We model the system state by a three-dimensional Markov chain which represents the evolution the radio link state, the number of packets in the buffer and the number of transmission of a packet in the service. We use an advanced approach based on the theory of singular perturbation in order to compute some performance of interest.},

	abstract = {In recent years, many approaches and techniques have been explored for the optimization of energy usage in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). It is well recognized that a proper energy consumption model is the foundation for developing and evaluating a power management scheme in WSN. In this paper, we propose a new complete information Markov Decision Process (MDP) model to characterize sensors energy levels. We also propose and compare several centralized power control policies to select the more efficient policy that optimizes throughput and energy consumption.},

	abstract = {Recent advances in localization technologies and algorithms for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) motivate the exploitation of location information in routing protocols. In this paper we consider the geographic forwarding of sporadically generated alarm messages. Our objective is to optimize sensor{\textquoteright}s energy consumption while respecting QoS constraints on transmission delay. For instance, we propose an optimal distributed relay selection policy for WSN with duty-cycling sensors based on a Markov Decision Process (MDP) with complete information. Also, we establish sufficient conditions for optimality of threshold policies. Then, end-to-end performances for a heuristic multi-hop relay selection strategy are established. Finally, we extend our model to account for queuing capabilities at sensor level.},
