▼ Before infants speak their first word, they already produce a large variety of sounds. Whilst the developmental process that leads to speech production is very well documented, little attention is given to how non-linguistic sounds function in the child’s everyday environment and whether they show acoustic consistencies similar to those found in the calls of non-human primates. This thesis investigated whether human infants between 11 and 18 months have “calls”. The first study observed 22 infants in their everyday nursery environment in Scotland and identified a number of contexts in which infants produced vocal behaviour. Vocalisations in five of these contexts, giving, declarative pointing, food requests, protests and action requests, were then subjected to an acoustic analysis. Results of the discriminant analysis suggest that four categories of vocal behaviour can be distinguished on the basis of their acoustic properties alone. To investigate whether these calls are part of a universal human repertoire, we conducted a cross-cultural comparison of the acoustic properties of vocal behaviour showed that, despite a slightly higher level of variation; four categories of calls could still be discriminated above chance level. This suggests that human infants possess calls with rather fixed acoustic properties as part of their vocal repertoire in addition to other, more flexible vocal behaviours. In order to assess whether listeners can gain information from these calls, we conducted a playback study with parents, experienced and inexperienced participants. Results show that all participants can categorise all vocalisations above chance level. Parents were the only participants that showed significantly better scores in correctly classifying vocalisations recorded in Scotland over those recorded in Uganda. Overall, the studies demonstrated that infants, as part of their vocal repertoire, produce some classes of calls that have constant acoustic properties across infants from different cultures, and contain information about the infant’s activities that can be picked up by a listener.

▼ In this paper I review the evidence for a pragmatic approach of the evolution of human language as an ostensive communication system(Tomasello et al., 2005; Tomasello, 2008; Sperber &Wilson, 2002; Sperber & Origgi, 2010; Scott-Phillips, 2010a,b). Such an account presupposes that human communication originated in the ability to attribute mental states to our conspecifics and that therefore Theory of Mind is an essential evolutionary precursor to human communication. However, according to Sperber & Wilson (2002) lower order intentionality is insufficient to initiate ostensive communication, at least five levels of mental meta-representations are necessary for human language to emerge. I discuss this account in terms of implicit and explicit mindreading, and report the results of an experiment that tested the ability of humans to process a chain of iterative mental attributions of up to the eighth level. Furthermore, we tested whether implicit and explicit mental reasoning show differences in performance when higher order intentionality is presented either implicitly, through acting, or explicitly in the form of a narrator. This task was modelled on the Imposing Memory Task developed by Kinderman et al. (1998), and we have modified it to account for our presentation, and also to address a number of shortcomings we observed. It was hoped that the implicit presentation would improve the processing of intentionality, compared to the explicit presentation. Whilst we were not able to find differences between the two forms of presentation, our results suggest that human mindreading abilities may reach up into eight order intentionality, and do not show a decline in mindreading ability at the fifth level of intentionality, as found in previous research (Lyons et al., 2010; Stiller & Dunbar, 2007; Kinderman et al., 1998) However, our study has a number of shortcomings, which I discuss in the context of implicit and explicit mindreading.

▼ An exigent assignment for network planners of modern mobile systems technologies like Long Term Evolution (LTE) is to predict the subscriberâ€™s satisfaction during the delivery of services over the wireless network and their satisfaction level during journeys such as freeway and train journeys. There is great need for a procedure and for a simulation software tool based on a methodology that would assist the mobile network planners in overcoming this arduous task. This thesis proposes and implements a new and novel solution to the aforementioned problem by proposing a method of calculating a Single Figure of Merit (SFOM), which assesses the userâ€™s Quality of Experience (QoE) based on the technical measure of the Quality of Service (QoS) reported by the network. The proposed SFOM reduces the number of metrics involved in calculation in comparison to the earlier QoE computation approaches. The resulting SFOM proves to be a good indicator of the userâ€™s QoE with the network for the complete duration of a journey along pre-defined and random paths. The SFOM calculation method has been implemented as an addition to an open-source Matlab-based LTE System Level Simulator. This thesis also proposes and implements two novel special event walking models, named as: â€œStarburst Walking Modelâ€ (e.g. people gathering or leaving a sports arena) and the â€œTrainload Walking Modelâ€ (e.g. trainload of people moving from one point to another) which are a novel addition to the mobility management aspects of the simulator. Network planners can benefit from this improved simulation tool to evaluate different arrangements and position mobile assets, with a view to optimizing the userâ€™s experience and minimizing capital costs. The work supplementing the open-source Matlab-based LTE System Level Simulatorâ€™s functionality was published at the following IEEE conference: M. W. Baig and P. J. Radcliffe, â€œPragmatic Network Layouts in 3GPP LTEâ€, 2010 2nd International Conference on Information and Multimedia Technology (ICIMT 2010) Making use of the improved functional ability of the simulator, a new and novel methodology which facilitates comparing alternative network topologies and assigns SFOM to random or predefined paths in a LTE environment was published at the following IEEE Conference: M.

▼ With the growing population, technology is growing without any bounds. With these advancements, we have reached a footing where we cannot imagine the world without communications. This dependability on communications strikes a need for highly reliable and cost effective communication technology from the perspective of the user as well as the service provider. Though the 3GPP’s Long Term Evolution (LTE) has been successful to mitigate most of the challenges, there arises a need to foresee the cellular network evolution considering various factors like increase in number of users in a particular area, urbanization etc., and accordingly use the features of LTE to overcome the effects of them before actually deploying the network in the real world. This thesis outlines the requirement for an effective 4G LTE simulator that can model the real world cellular network by considering the various effects on a wireless network like fading, pathloss, number of users and resource allocation. It can then explore various aspects of 4G LTE that contributes towards design and analysis of the network performance for various scenarios supporting deployment of the new network for futuristic operation or optimizing the existing network. In this study we closely look through a System level LTE Simulator developed by the Institute of Telecommunications of The Vienna University of Technology, Austria. Using this simulator we study different scheduling schemes to evaluate performance and demonstrate how important the role of scheduling scheme is to overcome network congestion. We study various features of LTE that help in increasing throughput for various traffic models over a network and demonstrate the role of small cells in increasing the overall throughput of the network by comparing with the existing macro cell network. Various parameters are varied and results are obtained for various scenarios using the Vienna LTE simulator. These results are then used to demonstrate how Quality of Service (QoS), capacity planning, and resource management are achieved through LTE technology. This study helps the service provider to offer reliable service at lower implementation cost and deploy a network that has ability to sustain the evolution.

Les systèmes autonomes sont récemment devenus une solution efficace pour des applications telles que l'exploration et la surveillance d'environnements. Dans ces situations, l'utilisation de plusieurs robots pourrait améliorer l'efficacité des solutions proposées, bien que cela nécessite des stratégies d'organisation qui soient à la fois robuste, flexible et adaptables à la taille de la flotte de robots. En robotique en essaim, ces qualités sont assurées par la décentralisation, la redondance (plusieurs/tous les robots effectuent la même tâche), des interactions locales et des règles simples. Les interactions et communications locales sont une composante clef de la robotique en essaim. Jusqu'ici, la communication n'a été utilisée que pour des tâches relativement simples, tels que signaler les préférences ou l'état d'un robot. Cependant, la communication peut être bien plus riche et similaire aux langages humains. Dans ces conditions, elle permettrait aux essaims de robots de gérer de nouvelles situations qui ne seraient pas prévues par leurs concepteurs. De riches communications sont donc nécessaires pour obtenir des essaims entièrement autonomes, en particulier dans des environnements inconnus. Dans cette thèse, nous proposons une approche pour faire émerger des communications riches dans des essaims de robots en utilisant les jeux de langages comme protocole de communication et l'agrégation probabiliste comme cas d'étude. L'agrégation probabiliste est un prérequis pour de nombreuses tâches en robotique en essaim mais elle est aussi extrêmement sensible aux conditions expérimentales. Elle requiert donc un réglage spécifique de ses paramètres pour chaque nouvelle condition, y compris les changements d'échelle ou de densité. Avec notre approche, nous avons observé que l'exécution simultanée du jeu de nommage et de l'agrégation mène, dans certaines conditions, à un nouveau comportement d'agglomération en plusieurs groupes, chacun avec son propre nom, qui est contrôlable via les paramètres de l'agrégation. En poussant ces interactions plus loin, nous démontrons que les dynamiques sociales du jeu de nommage peuvent sélectionner des paramètres d'agrégation efficaces. Cette sélection culturelle crée donc des contrôleurs résilients, qui évoluent en-ligne en fonction du contexte courant.

Automatically-controlled artificial systems have recently been used in numerous settings including environmental monitoring and explorations, with great success. In such cases, the use of multiple robots could increase efficiency, although we should ensure that their communication and organisation strategies are robust, exible, and scalable. These qualities can be ensured through decentralisation, redundancy (many/all robots perform the same task), local interaction, and simplistic rules, as is the case in swarm robotics. One of the key components of swarm robotics is local interaction or communication. The later has, so far, only been used for relatively simple tasks such as signalling a robot's preference or state. However, communication…

▼ Wesentliche Merkmale von menschlicher Sprache sind ihre willentliche Steuerung durch den Produzenten und ihr referentieller Charakter. Dementsprechend ist es eines der Hauptanliegen der vergleichenden Forschung die Kommunikation von Menschenaffen hinsichtlich dieser Aspekte zu untersuchen, um Gemeinsamkeiten und Unterschiede mit menschlicher Kommunikation zu identifizieren. Bezüglich beider Merkmale gibt es eine Fülle an Forschungsarbeiten, jedoch sind viele Fragen noch nicht beantwortet. Im Rahmen der hier vorliegenden Arbeit wurden drei verschiedene Studien zu diesen Themen durchgeführt. Zwei von Ihnen widmen sich primär offenen Fragen bezüglich der Intentionalität, also der willentlichen Steuerung von Menschenaffenkommunikation und eine der Studien hat die referentielle Kommunikation, namentlich die Zeigegeste als Archetyp der präverbalen Referenz, zum Thema. Die im Rahmen dieser Dissertation durchgeführten Studien unterstreichen zwar die gängige Annahme, dass die Kommunikation von Menschenaffen als intentional bezeichnet werden kann, jedoch werfen sie die Frage danach auf, wie systematisch und strategisch Menschenaffen ihre kommunikativen Mittel einsetzten können. D.h. ist ihnen ausschliesslich ein situationsgebundener Abruf der kommunikativen Mittel möglich oder können sie auch unabhängig von einem konkreten Ziel über ihre Signale und deren Eigenschaften reflektieren? Hat ein kommunikatives Mittel also eine überdauernde Funktion? Diese Frage ist gerade im Vergleich mit dem Gebrauch von menschlicher Sprache, welche einen sehr systematischen Nutzen von kommunikativen Mitteln (Symbolen) voraussetzt, von grosser Bedeutung. Hinsichtlich der Nutzung von referentieller Kommunikation bei Menschenaffen lassen die Befunde der hier präsentierten Studien den Schluss zu, dass Menschenaffen prinzipielle Schwierigkeiten haben indexielle, diskrete Referenz zu verstehen und zu äussern. Damit fehlt Menschenaffen die Möglichkeit unmittelbar über diskrete Entitäten zu kommunizieren. Für die Entwicklung menschlicher Sprache ist die Fähigkeit zur indexiellen Referenz sowohl ontogenetisch als auch aller Wahrscheinlichkeit nach evolutiv eine notwendige Vorraussetzung. Die etwaigen Gründe für diesen essentiellen Unterschied von Menschen- und Menschenaffen-Kommunikation werden diskutiert.

▼ Specialized face learning, the ability to learn and remember faces better than other visual stimuli, occurs across a wide range of social animal taxa. However, the ontogeny of specialized face learning, specifically whether it develops due to innate, learned, or a combination of innate and learned factors, remains debated in the literature. Empirical data on face specialization has supported all three hypotheses, yet conflicting methodologies and data interpretations complicate our understanding of the ontogeny of face specialization. In this study, we use Polistes fuscatus (paper wasp), a system with intraspecific variation in developmental environment (innate) and experience (learned), to test the ontogeny of specialized face learning. Our results support the combination hypothesis for the development of specialized face learning, with both innate and learned factors needed to fully explain intraspecific variation in face specialization. Wasps with better early nutritional environment (gynes) learned to discriminate faces more accurately than wasps with poorer nutrition during early development (workers), perhaps due to innate variation in neural structures. Furthermore, older wasps (foundresses) learned faces faster than other stimuli, while younger wasps (gynes) showed no difference in rate of learning between stimuli. We posit that older wasps have greater specialization for learning faces than younger wasps due to higher levels of facial exposure throughout life. Controlled manipulations of early development and adult experience will be useful to provide a more detailed analysis of the ontogeny of specialized face learning. Our results, which suggest that the combined effects of learned and innate factors are necessary to explain the ontogeny of specialized face learning, may be generalizable to all social animals. In many signaling systems, intraspecific variation in recognition abilities is based on developmental stage, experience, or caste. However, the occurrence of intraspecific variation in recognition has not been thoroughly examined in species with individual recognition. For example, previous work has shown that individual recognition is an important aspect of the social life of Polistes fuscatus (paper wasp) nest founding queens, as individual recognition stabilizes dominance interactions and reduces aggression. Yet, to date the potential for individual recognition among P. fuscatus workers has been largely ignored. Here, we explore whether there is intraspecific variation in individual recognition by testing P. fuscatus worker recognition abilities in a series of staged contests. The results indicate that P. fuscatus workers are capable of individual recognition: focal workers paired with previously encountered partners experienced significantly less aggression and more nonaggressive bodily contact than focal workers paired with unknown social partners. Therefore, this study finds no evidence of intraspecific variation in individual recognition across castes of P. fuscatus.

▼ [EN] Renewing software systems is one of the most cost-effective ways to protect software investment, which saves time, money and ensures uninterrupted access to technical support and product upgrades. There are several motivations to promote investment and scientific effort for specifying systems by means of conceptual models and supporting its evolution. In order to contribute to the requirements engineering field with automated software production methods, we design TraceME to cover the spectrum of activities from requirements to code focusing on organisational evolution. In this sense, the spectrum of activities involves various information system perspectives of analysis that need to be integrated. In this complex setting, traceability and conceptual models are key concepts. Mechanisms to trace software specifications from requirements to code are important to justify evolution processes; versions of information systems should be traced in order to get the connection between old and new specifications. Moreover, it is necessary to find mechanisms to facilitate change specifications, measurement, and interpretation. To design this thesis we follow Design Science by Roel Wieringa. Design Science gives us the hints on how to conduct the research, be rigorous, and put in practice scientific rules. Besides Design Science has been a key factor for structuring our research, we acknowledge the application of this framework since it has helps us to report clearly our findings. We build TraceME by making a method engineering effort, which shapes its fragmented nature in chunks. The architecture of TraceME opens a wide window of opportunities for its application in real world situations. To facilitate industrial adoption, we develop open source tools to support the implementation of the TraceME chunks. For example, one case study and one action-research protocols have been executed in two different organisations in Spain. The validation of TraceME has taken place in laboratory demonstrations, controlled experiments, action research and case study experiences in industry. Thanks to the validations various lessons learnt have been gathered and greatly influenced the maturity of the method. For example: the importance to consider end-users' perceptions for discovering needs to mitigate, and the significance to get knowledge from the application of TraceME in different contexts. The evidences from the validations demonstrate that TraceME is feasible to be applied to support evolution projects. In addition, future research is needed for promoting the implementation of TraceME. We envision short term and future-term work that motivate us to tackle the challenge to support evolution projects.; [ES] La evolución de sistemas software es una de las actividades mas importantes que permiten minimizar el tiempo de puesta en producción de actualizaciones y nuevos desarrollos, reducir los costos que implica desarrollar una aplicación desde cero, y además asegura el acceso ininterrumpido de servicios.

Pour comprendre comment la sélection naturelle modèle les traits sexuels, l’emploi d’une approche intégrative des processus sélectifs en jeu semble aujourd’hui indispensable. Durant ma thèse je me suis ainsi intéressé aux influences simultanées des sélections de viabilité et sexuelle sur l’origine, l’évolution et le maintien des traits sexuels de la petite teigne de la ruche (Achroia grisella). Chez cette pyrale les mâles se regroupent en leks, produisent un chant d’appel ultrasonique intense et les femelles choisissent un partenaire sexuel en se basant sur des caractéristiques acoustiques spécifiques de ce chant. Cependant les signaux sexuels ultrasoniques des mâles peuvent également attirer des prédateurs : les chauves-souris insectivores. Ainsi, au sein des leks, les sélections sexuelle et de viabilité jouent et peuvent modeler (1) l’évolution du choix des femelles, (2) le maintien et l’évolution du lek, (3) l’origine de la communication acoustique sexuelle. Les travaux conduits durant cette thèse soulignent l’intérêt de l’étude du jeu des sélections sexuelle et de viabilité pour comprendre comment la sélection naturelle peut modeler l’origine, l’évolution et le maintien des traits sexuels. Les résultats indiquent en particulier le rôle crucial de la pression de prédation dans ces processus sélectifs.

In order to achieve a better understanding of how natural selection shapes sexual traits it is essential to consider the interplay of the various selective processes at work. For my thesis I investigated the simultaneous influences of viability and sexual selections on the origin, the evolution and the maintenance of sexual traits in the lesser waxmoth Achroia grisella. Females of this pyralid moth choose their mate based on acoustic characters of the ultrasonic calling song broadcasted by males while competing at lek. However male ultrasonic displays are very conspicuous and may attract specific predators: insectivorous bats. Therefore at leks sexual and viability selection pressures act simultaneously and can shape (1) the evolution of female mate choice, (2) the maintenance and evolution of lekking, (3) the origin of sexual acoustic communication. Taken as a whole this work emphasises the relevance of the study of selective interplays between viability and sexual selections in order to improve our understanding of how natural selection may shape the origin, evolution and maintenance of sexual traits. In particular results indicate the crucial role played by predation pressure within these evolutionary processes.

Etiniai bendravimo aspektai tarp gydytojo ir paciento visuomet buvo ir išlieka viena svarbesnių visuomenės aukšto išsivystymo ir sąmoningumo moralinių aspektų. Faktoriai apibūdinantys paciento požiūrį į gydytoją lemia lygiavertį bendravimą tarp paciento ir gydytojo, o gydytojo sąmoningumo, žmogiškųjų sąvybių ir darbo kokybės gerinimas yra vienas iš prioritetinių sveikatos sistemos priežiūros uždavinių. Šiuolaikinės sveikatos priežiūros paslaugų teikimas turi būti atliekamas tokiame lygmenyje, kad nebūtų pacientų nusiskundimų gydytojais, o pastarieji nevengtų „rizikingų“ pacientų. Šiame darbe analizuojami faktoriai, turintys arba galintys turėti įtakos gydytojo ir paciento tarpusavio santykiams, pateikiamos rekomendacijos būtinių veiksnių ar faktorių kuriuos būtina įgyvendinti siekiant abipusiai naudingo gydytojo ir paciento bendravimo. Darbo tikslas - Įvertinti gydytojų nuomonę apie bendravimo su pacientais ypatumus ir etinius šio bendravimo aspektus gydytojo santykiuose su pacientu. Tyrimo metodai. 2011 metais „Gydytojų sąjungos“ organizuotose specializuotuose mokymose Druskininkų ligoninėje buvo įvykdyta anoniminė anketinė gydytojų apklausa, kurios metu buvo apklausta 2440 įvairių specialybių gydytojų.

Ethical aspects of doctor-patient communication have always been and remain some of the major moral issues of high public development and awareness. The factors characterizing the patient's attitude to the doctor determine the equivalent communication between the patient and the physician, and physician’s awareness, human qualities and quality improvement is one of the priority health care challenges. Delivery of modern health care services must be performed at a level that would not be patient complaints about doctors, but they do not avoid "risky" patients. This paper analyzes the factors which have or may have an impact on doctor-patient relationships, presents recommendations on necessary factors or actions that need to be implemented in order to establish a mutually beneficial doctor-patient communication. Aim of the work: to evaluate doctors opinion regarding the doctors-patients communication peculiarity and ethical aspects of such communication in doctors relationships with patient. Methods of the research: the anonymous questionnaire survey of physicians was organised in Druskininkai hospital at 2011, on the specialized trainings organised by “Medical Association”. 2440 doctors of various specialties participated in the survey. The questionnaire data were processed and analyzed using the statistical data analysis package SPSS 17.0.

A l’heure actuelle, la communication des machines est devenue une technologie incontournable, en pleine expansion vue le nombre de services qu'elle est capable de proposer. La technologie M2M (Machineto-Machine) se définit comme le mariage des technologies de l’information et de la communication avec des objets intelligents. Les réseaux cellulaires, tel que les technologies Long Term Evolution (LTE) et LTEAdvanced (LTE-A), sont de plus en plus utilisés afin d'assurer la communication des modules M2M. Cependant, adapter les réseaux LTE et LTE-A afin de satisfaire aux caractéristiques et exigences des modules M2M, en termes de qualité de service (QoS) et consommation énergétique, est crucial. L'objectif de cette thèse est de proposer des solutions de réduction de la consommation énergétique pour les modules M2M utilisant les technologies LTE et LTE-A. Pour ce faire deux approches ont été proposées. La première approche consiste à stocker les paquets de données dans une mémoire tampon jusqu'à atteindre un seuil donné du nombre de paquets stockés et du délai maximal autorisé. Ceci permet d'augmenter le temps passé en mode basse consommation et de réduire le passage du mode veille au mode connecté, tout en tenant en compte des contraintes de délai. La deuxième approche consiste à proposer deux techniques d'allocation de ressources radio en voie montante qui permettent de réduire la consommation énergétique dans les modules M2M tout en satisfaisant la QoS requise en termes de délai de transmission.

Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication, which refers to the interaction between intelligent devices without human intervention, is gaining more prominence in mobile cellular networks. Long Term Evolution (LTE) and LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) networks are considered excellent candidates to support M2M communication. However, M2M communication over LTE/LTE-A networks faces some challenges. The main challenge is how to reduce energy consumption for M2M devices, as the majority of them are battery driven. The aim of this thesis is to propose solutions to reduce energy consumption in M2M devices over LTE/LTE-A technologies. We proposed two approaches; the first one consists of increasing time spent in low power mode by buffering data until reaching given thresholds of number of buffered data and maximum delay authorized. This approach allows to reduce signaling from idle state to connected state. Besides, it considers quality of service (QoS) requirements. The second approach consists of proposing two uplink schedulers which take into account the coexistence of M2M and Human-to-Human (H2H) devices. Both of them consider channel quality while allocating resource blocks, which have a consequence reducing energy consumption in M2M devices. Our second algorithm consider, also, delay constraint.

▼ Providing service via theWeb differs from other service provision environments in that it is possible for the unexpected arrival of a massive number of service requests in a small time-frame, a situation commonly referred to as a flash crowd. Events of this nature are beyond the control of the service provider, and have the potential to severely degrade service quality and, in the worst case, to deny service to all clients completely. The occurrence, severity and sought Web content of a flash crowd is beyond the control of service provision software. How this software reacts to such a flash crowd, however, is not. Given the short-lived nature of flash crowds, it is unreasonable to expect such systems to increase the system resources they can apply to a particular flash crowd event. It is also difficult to predict the particular nature of any flash crowd, and subsequently which system resources will bottleneck. The driving hypothesis of this research is that, if we are to reasonably expect to have software react effectively to flash crowd events, we need to alter that software at runtime to remove system bottlenecks, whilst a flash crowd event is in progress. This is a special case of what is usually known as "unanticipated software evolution". This thesis reports on an investigation into how unanticipated software evolution can be applied to running Web service provision software to remove system bottlenecks. It does so by introducing automated dynamic Web content degradation to running software currently subject to simulated flash crowd events. The thesis describes and validates appropriate runtime extensions to allow generative object communication architectures (a promising class of architecture for unanticipated software evolution) to be converted initially into a Web application server, and then later accept further runtime behaviour changes. Such changes could alter system bottlenecks by replacing the key programming logic causing system bottlenecks at runtime.

Subjects/Keywords: unanticipated software evolution; generative object communication; Web scalability; flash crowds; dynamic Web content degradation; user-perceived quality of service

▼ The rapid growth in global mobile phone users has resulted in an ever-increasing demand for bandwidth and enhanced quality-of-service (QoS). Several consortia comprising major international mobile operators, infrastructure manufacturers, and academic institutions are working to develop the next generation wireless communication systems fifth generation (5G) - to support high data rates and increased QoS. 5G systems are also expected to represent a greener alternative for communication systems, which is important because power consumption from the information and communication technology (ICT) sector is forecast to increase significantly by 2030. The deployment of ultra-dense heterogeneous small cell networks (SCNs) is expected to play a major role in meeting the explosive growth of user traffic demand in 5G wireless communication systems. However, while the concept of small cells in heterogeneous networks (HetNets) largely addresses the bandwidth scarcity problem, unless otherwise carefully managed, a large number of uncoordinated and lightly loaded SCNs will significantly increase the access network power consumption, contrary to the green communication target of 5G systems. In addition, to cater for the huge volumes of traffic, the backhaul network power consumption will also increase. This thesis addresses the research challenges facing 5G systems in regard to energy efficiency and QoS. The thesis examines ways to reduce power consumption in access networks, how to design green backhauling solutions, how to develop synergy between wired and wireless backhauling options, and how to increase energy efficiency in a weather-dependent backhaul network without hindering network QoS. Different system models and solution techniques are investigated in order to successfully minimize overall power consumption in 5G HetNets while maintaining network QoS. The thesis contributes as follows: first, an energy-efficient resource management system is introduced to minimize access network power consumption; second, two green backhauling solutions, one for wired optical backhaul and the other for wireless millimeter wave (mmWave) backhaul, are presented; third, a synergy is developed between two energy-efficient backhauling solutions to reduce power consumption; fourth, the impacts of SCN topology and mmWave spectrum are presented; and finally, a hybrid free-space optics (FSO)/mmWave channel model is introduced to minimize power consumption for weather-dependent channels. Each phase of the research listed above also investigates the network QoS, i.e., average delay and jitter for 5G HetNets. The research presented in this thesis therefore contributes new knowledge in energy efficiency and QoS for next generation wireless communication networks and makes important contributions to this field by investigating different system models and proposing solutions to significant issues.

▼ La quinta generación de redes móviles (5G) se encuentra a la vuelta de la esquina. Se espera provea de beneficios extraordinarios a la población y que resuelva la mayoría de los problemas de las redes 4G actuales. El éxito de 5G, cuya primera fase de estandarización ha sido completada, depende de tres pilares: comunicaciones tipo-máquina masivas, banda ancha móvil mejorada y comunicaciones ultra fiables y de baja latencia (mMTC, eMBB y URLLC, respectivamente). En esta tesis nos enfocamos en el primer pilar de 5G, mMTC, pero también proveemos una solución para lograr eMBB en escenarios de distribución masiva de contenidos. Específicamente, las principales contribuciones son en las áreas de: 1) soporte eficiente de mMTC en redes celulares; 2) acceso aleatorio para el reporte de eventos en redes inalámbricas de sensores (WSNs); y 3) cooperación para la distribución masiva de contenidos en redes celulares. En el apartado de mMTC en redes celulares, esta tesis provee un análisis profundo del desempeño del procedimiento de acceso aleatorio, que es la forma mediante la cual los dispositivos móviles acceden a la red. Estos análisis fueron inicialmente llevados a cabo por simulaciones y, posteriormente, por medio de un modelo analítico. Ambos modelos fueron desarrollados específicamente para este propósito e incluyen uno de los esquemas de control de acceso más prometedores: access class barring (ACB). Nuestro modelo es uno de los más precisos que se pueden encontrar en la literatura y el único que incorpora el esquema de ACB. Los resultados obtenidos por medio de este modelo y por simulación son claros: los accesos altamente sincronizados que ocurren en aplicaciones de mMTC pueden causar congestión severa en el canal de acceso. Por otro lado, también son claros en que esta congestión se puede prevenir con una adecuada configuración del ACB. Sin embargo, los parámetros de configuración del ACB deben ser continuamente adaptados a la intensidad de accesos para poder obtener un desempeño óptimo. En la tesis se propone una solución práctica a este problema en la forma de un esquema de configuración automática para el ACB; lo llamamos ACBC. Los resultados muestran que nuestro esquema puede lograr un desempeño muy cercano al óptimo sin importar la intensidad de los accesos. Asimismo, puede ser directamente implementado en redes celulares para soportar el tráfico mMTC, ya que ha sido diseñado teniendo en cuenta los estándares del 3GPP. Además de los análisis descritos anteriormente para redes celulares, se realiza un análisis general para aplicaciones de contadores inteligentes. Es decir, estudiamos un escenario de mMTC desde la perspectiva de las WSNs. Específicamente, desarrollamos un modelo híbrido para el análisis de desempeño y la optimización de protocolos de WSNs de acceso aleatorio y basados en cluster. Los resultados muestran la utilidad de escuchar el medio inalámbrico para minimizar el número de transmisiones y también de modificar las probabilidades de transmisión después de una colisión. En lo que respecta a eMBB,… Advisors/Committee Members: Martínez Bauset, Jorge (advisor), Pla Boscà, Vicent (advisor).
