The ageing of the world's population combined with unhealthy lifestyles are contributing to a major prevalence of chronic diseases. This scenario poses the challenge of providing good healthcare services to that people ...
(English) The main objective of this thesis is contributing to IPv6 support over Low Rate Low Power Wireless Networks (LRLPWNs). One family of LRLPWNs is Low Power Wide Area Networks (LPWANs), which includes technologies ...
Recent developments in optical communication systems have increased the performance of optical networks. Low attenuation fiber optics, high spectral purity lasers and optical amplifiers, among others, are systems that have ...
Next-Generation Networks (NGNs) will converge the existing fixed and wireless networks. These networks rely on the IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem), introduced by the 3GPP. The presence service came into being in instant ...
Ad hoc networks have attracted much attention from the research community over the last years and important technical advances have risen as a consequence. These networks are foreseen as an important kind of next generation ...
The Wi-Fi technology has been in the recent years fostering the proliferation of attractive mobile computing devices with broadband capabilities. Current Wi-Fi radios though severely impact the battery duration of these ...
A recommender system is an automatic system that, given a customer model and a set of available documents, is able to select and offer those documents that are more interesting to the customer. From the point of view of ...
Virtualization is defined as the process consisting of building a virtual resource on top of one or several physical resources, depending on the selected paradigm: aggregation or partitioning. From the net- working ...
(English) Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) technologies have gained significant momentum as wireless solutions for implementing Internet of Things (IoT) applications and services. The unique set of LPWAN features, such ...
The explosive growth in usage of IEEE 802.11 based WLAN networks has resulted in dense deployments in diverse environments and has made the concept of anytime - anywhere data connectivity a realm of commercial reality. The ...
Nowadays, video streaming applications are the most bandwidth-hungry applications and this tendency is envisaged to grow exponentially. With the proliferation of multimedia capable devices, multimedia services have to ...
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have become increasingly important. These networks comprise sensor and actuator nodes that enable intelligent monitoring and control applications in a wide spectrum of environments including ...
The IEEE 802.11 standard was not initially designed to provide multi-hop capabilities. Therefore, providing a proper traffic performance in Multi-Hop IEEE 802.11 Wireless Networks (MIWNs) becomes a significant challenge. ...
The increasing emergence of wireless applications along with the static spectrum allocation followed by regulatory bodies has led to a high inefficiency in spectrum usage, and the lack of spectrum for new services. In this ...
Location techniques that satisfy the requirements of advanced Location-Based Services (LBS) in environments where GPS fails are needed, therefore accurate indoor positioning is becoming increasingly important. This PhD ...
The evolution of information and communication technologies (e.g. cloud computing, the Internet of Things (IoT) and 5G, among others) has enabled a large market of applications and network services for a massive number of ...
Ths thesis is a result of contributions to optimize and improve the network management systme and power consumption in Passive Optical Network (PON). Passive Optical Network elements such as Optical Line Terminal (OLT) and ...
Las comunicaciones multipunto ofrecen, tanto a usuarios como a proveedores, mayor eficiencia, permitiendo desarrollar e implantar nuevos servicios. Para poder desplegarlos adecuadamente sobre la redes de comunicaciones, ...
The SDN (Software-Defined Networks) architecture separates the data and the control planes of the networks. It logically centralizes the control of a network in a central point that is an SDN controller, which acts as a ...
(Enlish) In the past years, battery electric vehicles have been gaining market share. These vehicles are progressively seen as a viable option by customers of all kind. However, although manufacturers and research institutions ...
