Data analytics for mobile traffic in 5G networks using machine learning techniques
This thesis collects the research works I pursued as Ph.D. candidate at the Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya (UPC). Most of the work has been accomplished at the Mobile Network Department Centre Tecnologic de ...
Contribution to the traffc engineering in wireless mesh networks
Nowadays, we live in a modern society in which people and devices are interconnected anywhere and anytime. Under this premise, both the infrastructure and the services offered have evolved and diversified in a drastic way. ...
Contribution to the construction of fingerprinting and watermarking schemes to protect mobile agents and multimedia content
The main characteristic of fingerprinting codes is the need of high error-correction capacity due to the fact that they are designed to avoid collusion attacks which will damage many symbols from the codewords. Moreover, ...
Energy aware optimization for low power radio technologies
The explosive growth of IoT is pushing the market towards cheap, very low power devices with a strong focus on miniaturization, for applications such as in-body sensors, personal health monitoring and microrobots. Proposing ...
Proposal of an adaptive infotainment system depending on driving scenario complexity
The PhD research project is framed within the plan of industrial doctorates of the “Generalitat de Catalunya”. During the investigation, most of the work was carried out at the facilities of the vehicle manufacturer SEAT, ...
Resource allocation and management techniques for network slicing in WiFi networks
Network slicing has recently been proposed as one of the main enablers for 5G networks; it is bound to cope with the increasing and heterogeneous performance requirements of these systems. To "slice'' a network is to ...
Power aware resource allocation and virtualization algorithms for 5G core networks
Most of the algorithms that solved the resource allocation problem, used to apply greedy algorithms to select the physical nodes and shortest paths to select the physical edges, without sufficient coordination between ...
Optimizing IETF multimedia signaling protocols and architectures in 3GPP networks : an evolutionary approach
Signaling in Next Generation IP-based networks heavily relies in the family of multimedia signaling protocols defined by IETF. Two of these signaling protocols are RTSP and SIP, which are text-based, client-server, ...

Contributions towards softwarization and energy saving in passive optical networks
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 ...
Energy sustainability of next generation cellular networks through learning techniques
The trend for the next generation of cellular network, the Fifth Generation (5G), predicts a 1000x increase in the capacity demand with respect to 4G, which leads to new infrastructure deployments. To this respect, it is ...
Design and performance evaluation of smart dissemination of emergence messages in vehicular ad-hoc networks
The growing demand to improve road safety and optimize road traffic has generated great interest in vehicular ad-hoc network (VANETs). Serious traffic accidents can cause financial losses, physical disability, and even ...
Energy-aware routing techniques for software-defined networks
Achieving energy efficiency has recently become a key topic of networking research due to the ever-increasing power consumption and CO2 emissions generated by large data networks. This problem is becoming even more concerning ...
Analysis, modelling and protection of online private data
Online communications generate a consistent amount of data flowing between users, services and applications. This information results from the interactions among different parties, and once collected, it is used for a ...
Contributions to the evolution of next generation WLANs
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 ...
Contributions to optimal detection in OTDM and OCDMA optical receivers
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 ...
Contribution to the design of VANET routing protocols for realistic urban environments
One of the main concerns of the cities' administration is mobility management. In Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), pedestrians, vehicles and public transportation systems could share information and react to any ...
Secure identity management in structured peer-to-peer (P2P) networks
Structured Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networks were proposed to solve routing problems of big distributed infrastructures. But the research community has been questioning their security for years. Most prior work in security ...
