“…In the works of Musavian and Ni and Efazati and Azmi, resource allocation and energy efficiency based on effective capacity maximization are considered. The studies in the works of Rebecchi et al, Aijaz et al, and Elhami et al are surveys of data offloading techniques in cellular networks and extraction of basic requirements to complete offloading in modern networks. For implementing mobile offloading in access networks, current and future challenges in this area should be considered.…”

“…The relative issues to data offloading in most works include adding small‐scale base stations (BSs) and multicast broadcast data transmission in cells, uniting the cognitive radio mechanism, improving the spectrum efficiency, and proactive caching to avoid increase the traffic load and restricting the networks density. In the work of Elhami et al, data offloading in industrial, scientific, and medical band for device‐to‐device (D2D) communications and wireless local area network is studied. Furthermore, its challenges include medium‐access selection to radio, WiFi networks QoS stability, and WiFi access point (AP) relocation are presented.…”

In this paper, a new radio resource allocation approach for mobile data offloading, by means of a local access point (LAP) in the heterogeneous cellular networks is proposed. We consider the uplink path in a single‐carrier frequency‐division multiple access–based multiuser system in a 2‐tier cellular network with a macro base station (BS) and set of LAPs. We assume that there is no internetwork interference between macro BS and LAPs due to the use of 2 different sets of frequencies. Our aim is to allocate resources to determine the best strategy for providing the required quality of service with the criterion of minimum delay in terms of effective capacity maximization. The basis of this work is optimization for the strategy selection. In other words, the selection of the best station and power allocation for offloading in a single‐carrier frequency‐division multiple access multiuser system and solving the problems using the nonlinear optimization with the mesh adaptive direct algorithm solver and the dual decomposition method, respectively. The numerical results validate our analytical outcomes. For example, system delay decreases approximately 10 times if the traffic load of macro BS is decreased by 50%. In addition, we present a comparison of the impact of traffic reduction and consumed bandwidth due to offloading by means of LAPs on the cellular network, which confirms the efficiency of the proposed approach.

Vehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANETs) are special kind of Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs), where vehicles communicate with each other in ad hoc formation. VANETs consist of Vehicles and Road Side Units (RSUs) that assist in the network management. Vehicles communicate with each other and RSUs, with the aim to provide infotainment and safety services on road. Security is an important consideration in VANETs as safety of humans (passengers) is an important issue. Vehicular Public Key Infrastructure (VPKI) is an adapted form of PKI used to achieve the key management and security services in VANETs. Certificate generation and revocation is one of the primary functions of VPKI. Certificate revocation is used for revoking the malicious nodes and terminate its access rights to the network. In this paper we classify revocation schemes in a novel way into centralized and decentralized manners. This paper covers a survey of different certificate revocation schemes, and provides an overview of the research in the area of certificate revocation in VANETs.
