In all my teaching activity I gain more than the 95% of positive judgments from the students. RESEARCH ACTIVITY VLC: an experimental test bed The growing interest in Visible Light Communication (VLC), lets researchers look for networking platforms based on commercial off-the-shelf components. To this aim, we adopted an open-source platform developed by IMDEA Networks (Spain, named OpenVLC. Built around a credit-card-sized embedded Linux platform with a simple opto-electronic transceiver front-end, OpenVLC offers a basic physical layer, a set of essential medium access primitives, as well as interoperability with Internet protocols. This platform allowed us to evaluate the performance of a LED-to-LED communication link in terms of throughput and covered distance. Then, we proposed a modified version of the HW and SW platform to provide also LED-to-photodiode communication. Finally, due to some limitation of the OpenVLC platform in terms of data rate and coverage range, we are experimenting new SW and HW implementations based on both Rasperry Pi and Arduino. We expect that the new solution will allow us to increase both the data rate and the coverage range. Vehicular visible light networks (VVLNs) The paradigm of connected vehicles is moving from research to implementation, thus enabling new applications that range from safety improvement to the so called Internet of vehicles (IoV). The candidate enabling technologies in the radio frequency (RF) bands are cellular and dedicated short range communications (DSRC). However, the limited bandwidth shared among several applications pushes researchers to look at new technological solutions. To this end, an option is provided by visible light communication (VLC): based on the use of the light emission diodes (LEDs) that are already available on the majority of vehicles, VLC would enable short range communication in large, unlicensed, and uncongested bands with limited costs. The aim is to evaluate the performance of vehicular visible light networks (VVLNs) in terms of delivery rate toward one or more road side units (RSUs). Numerical results can be provided by analysis and by simulations in a realistic urban scenario. Due to some limitations of pure VVLNs (such as the fact that the transmisster and the receiver must be in visibility, the coverage range could be not to long, etc.), the research i salso devoted to the joint management of VLC with RF access technologies. As a first step, I am investigating the joint use of VLC and DSRC in crowd sensing vehicular networks, to improve the ratio of delivered packets with respect to a conventional vehicular network based on a sole technology.

Vehicular Networks to Offload the Infrastructure The use of vehicles as sensors is a new paradigm to enable an efficient environment monitoring and an improved traffic management. In most cases, the sensed information must be collected at a remote control center and one of the most challenging aspects is the uplink acquisition of data from vehicles, which is presently performed through cellular networks. With the objective to offload the

cellular networks, the research is devoted to propose and discuss the adoption of the WAVE/IEEE 802.11p protocols for vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-roadside (V2R) communications. Specifically, the impact of the percentage of equipped vehicles, of the number of deployed road side units, and of the adopted routing protocol is evaluated. Results are obtained through an integrated simulation platform taking both realistic vehicular environments and wireless network communication aspects into account. Preliminary results show that the deployment of few road side units in suitable locations and the use of low complexity routing protocols allow a significant reduction of cellular resource occupation, even approaching 100% with a high density of equipped vehicles.

Multiple Access Techniques in VANETs Vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) based on IEEE 802.11p are moving new safety and traffic applications beyond the present limitations given by infrastructures. However, due to the high variability in time and position of nodes, the medium access control layer of IEEE 802.11p, which is based on carrier sensing multiple access with collision avoidance (CSMA/CA), could lead to severe performance degradation in terms of delivery delay and delivery ratio as the node density increases. Because of its higher efficiency, the research focuses on the use of orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) as access technique in VANETs, discussing and evaluating i) its feasibility, ii) the challenges posed by the distributed allocation of resources, and iii) its performance in terms of resource allocation efficiency (specifically, delivery rate and delivery delay) when compared to CSMA/CA. Wireless Communications Enabling Smart Navigation Services Wireless communications are nowadays considered as enablers of innovation in the field of smart mobility in smart cities. The research focus on the smart navigation service, which is aimed at providing drivers with the best route to destination taking into account real time traffic conditions. Smart navigation is increasingly used today and expected to reduce traffic congestions, but the real impact on travel time and the cost in terms of wireless network resources are still open issues. The study pays attention to what extent real time information can reduce the travel duration and how frequently traffic information must be updated to be effective; then, the impact on wireless networks of both the uplink collection of traffic information and the downlink transmission to vehicles is evaluated, focusing on the UMTS cellular technology. Through simulations performed in a dense urban scenario, it is actually shown that 30% to 50% travel time can be saved, that the needed information exchange might reduce the cellular network capacity available for other services of 20% or more, and that the deployment of few road side units and multi-hop transmissions can be effectively used to offload cellular networks.

Energy Harvesting When energy is harnessed by wireless nodes from renewable sources, its availability becomes uncertain and its use for communications must be carefully designed. While the optimal power allocation has been derived in the literature (under different constrains) when energy availability is fully (a priori) known, practical (online) algorithms are needed when only causal and statistical information is available. The research studies through mathematical framework, the optimal transmission policy when only the time statistics of the energy arrival process are known. Specifically, it is assumed that transmitting nodes have a causal knowledge of the stored energy and a statistical description of the energy arrival time instants, but no information (not even statistical) about the amount of energy available in the subsequent time instants. Under such assumptions, instead of addressing globally optimal transmit-power profiles, the focus is on locally optimal policies whose decision on the power allocation is taken after an energy arrival and is driven by the amount of available energy and the statistic of energy arrival instants. The mathematical framework allows to find the transmit power profile among the class of step-wise functions and then for

arbitrary shapes.

Cooperative networks Relaying and diversity methods improve wireless communications by jointly exploiting the benefits of node cooperation, multiple-channel reception, and distributed processing. The research is twofold. On one side it is devoted to the development of a mathematical framework accounting for: 1) node positions; 2) link characterization; 3) diversity methods; 4) distributed coding and constellation signalling; and 5) power allocation. The framework is built on a simple model for assessing the frame error probability (FEP) as a function of radio-link characteristics, and it enables a clear understanding of how the aforementioned aspects affect the performance. A novel FEP-optimal power allocation is developed and compared with other allocation techniques such as uniform, destination-balanced (D-balanced), and relay-balanced (R-balanced) power allocations. Results show the effectiveness of the novel power allocation technique for various distributed codings and provide insights into the operation of relay-assisted diversity systems. On the other side the research investigates the impact of different routing strategies on the overall amount of interference generated in a distributed ad hoc network with power control. Also in this case, an analytical model for the evaluation of the performance in terms of mean value and variance of the interference when signal level power control is adopted and different routing strategies, based on long-hop and short-hop relay selections schemes, are considered. This model allows to quantify the performance of the overall network in terms of interference, average number of hops and path efficiency.

PHY Layer and Multiple Access Multi-carrier code division multiple access (MC- CDMA) is capable of supporting high data rates in next generation multiuser wireless communication systems. The research is devoted to:

- Propose a new equalization technique, named partial equalization (PE): it is a low complexity technique to combine the signals of subcarriers for improving the achievable performance in terms of their bit error probability (BEP) and bit error outage (BEO) in comparison to maximal ratio combining, orthogonality restoring combining and equal gain combining techniques.

- Analyse the performance of multiuser MC-CDMA downlink and derive the optimal PE parameter expression, which minimizes the BEP.

- Realistic imperfect channel estimation and frequency-domain (FD) block fading channels are considered. More explicitly, the analytical expression of the optimum PE parameter is derived as a function of number of subcarriers, number of active users (i.e., the system load), mean signal-to-noise ratio, variance of the channel estimation errors for the above-mentioned FD block fading channel.

Coexistence between Bluetooth and IEEE 802.11b/g The research investigates the impact of IEEE 802.11b and IEEE 802.11g interference on the performance of Bluetooth (BT) packet transmission with or without diversity reception in wireless channels with fast fading and shadowing. In case of diversity reception, selection diversity (SD) and maximal ratio combining (MRC) techniques are considered and the impact of their adoption on the coverage extension is evaluated. Firstly it is derived a tight parametric exponential approximation for the instantaneous bit error probability (BEP) in additive white Gaussian noise; then, from this expression, it is derived the mean block error probability (BLEP) in fading channel by adopting SD or MRC. The analysis is then extended to the evaluation of the mean packet error probability (PEP) and the coverage probability.

EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH ACTIVITIES Multi-hops communications based on IEEE 802.11p A test bed on IEEE 802.11p single hop and multi hop communications has been implemented in a urban scenario. Throughput, packet error rate and routing algorithms have been tested. Low cost hardware and open source software are adopted. Focusing on the hardware, each node is composed by a PC connected to an Alix3d3 board produced by PC engine with a compact flash memory and a Mikrotik RouterBOARD R52- 350 (which was provided with an Atheros AR5414 chipset). A GPS device is connected to the Alix3d3 board via USB. An antenna connected to the RouterBOARD completes the hardware. The overall cost for each node is in the order of 300 euro, which is significantly lower than most of the alternative solutions on the market. The linux based OpenWrt operating system, which includes the Ath5k drivers, is loaded on the Alix3d3 board. To enable the use of IEEE 802.11p, the software provided by the grand cooperative driving challenge (GCDC), that includes modifications to the drivers and a tool written in Java, are used. All the software is open source.

Virtual Traffic Light (VTL) A virtual traffic light (VTL) is a mechanism that allows vehicles to automatically solve priorities at road junctions in the absence of fixed infrastructures (i.e., conventional traffic lights). To develop an effective VTL system, communication between vehicles is a crucial factor and can be handled either using cellular infrastructure or adopting a vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication paradigm. The implementation and the field trial of the VTL exploits V2V communications based on IEEE 802.11p. Specifically, a decentralized algorithm, that adopts both broadcast signaling and unicast messages, to assign priorities to the vehicles approaching intersections is tested, thus preventing accidents and reducing traffic congestions.

Implementation of multi carrier transmitter and receiver on DSP boards through Matlab-Simulink An OFDM based system has been designed in Matlab-Simulink and then implemented on DSP C6713 DSK. The real time transmission of images has been tested with success. PROJECTS
