Upon the occurrence of a phenomenon of interest in a wireless sensor network, multiple sensors may be activated, leading to data implosion and redundancy. Data aggregation and/or fusion techniques exploit spatio-temporal correlation among sensory data to reduce traffic load and mitigate congestion. However, this is often at the expense of loss in Information Quality (IQ) of data that is collected...
In cooperative wireless networks, the source node transmits the packets to its destination with the help from the cooperative nodes. However, existing routing metrics in the literature do not take into account the cooperative gain in choosing the next hop in a multi-hop network. In this paper, we propose a new routing metric that accounts for the potential cooperative gain a candidate next hop may...
We envisage extending the coverage of existing terrestrial wireless broadband wireless networks to the sea so that cost-efficient wireless access is available to the ships near the shore. The coverage extension is achieved through a multi-hop WiMAX wireless mesh networks where ships, maritime beacons and buoys are the nodes. In such a multi-hop network, routing protocol plays an important role in...
We envisage extending radio coverage of the existing terrestrial wireless broadband networks to the sea to provide ships with high speed connection to the Internet. This is achieved by forming a WiMAX-based maritime wireless mesh network where ships are network nodes connected to the land station across multiple hops. In such a wireless mesh network, routing protocol plays an important role in providing...
Existing communications from ships via satellites are expensive. We are motivated to extend the cheaper terrestrial communication coverage to sea via multi-hop networking. Maritime environment presents new challenges because sea surface moves randomly resulting in wave occlusion that breaks communication links. This paper models the maritime communication link after considering the wave occlusion...
This paper details a novel approach of developing a low-cost and high speed maritime ship-to-ship/shore mesh network to complement or replace satellite communications in narrow water channels or traffic lanes close to shorelines. To design the system, we gathered requirements from typical users of the system. We then carried out preliminary studies such as radio channel propagation over sea water,...
We envisage coverage extension of the high bit rate terrestrial communication networks to the ships to reduce the cost in maritime communications. The coverage extension is achieved by forming a mobile wireless mesh network amongst neighboring ships, marine beacons and buoys. The wireless mesh network will be connected to the terrestrial networks across multiple hops via land stations at shore. In...
We are interested in extending the coverage of a terrestrial wireless communication network to the sea so that cost effective communications can be provided to the ships. The coverage extension can be achieved by using ships as relay nodes for other ships that are further away. This paper studies the feasibility of doing so at the Singapore east coast. The feasibility is based on having 90% of the...
A cross layer approach is important for designing multi-hop wireless network routing protocols. In this paper, we maximize the path reliability by proper scheduling of transmissions at link layer over different paths. In our scheme, each node involved in the routing maintains two paths towards the destination. When forwarding a packet, the transmissions at link layer are optimally scheduled by considering...
We propose a packet-level model to investigate the impact of channel error on the transmission control protocol (TCP) performance over IEEE-802.11-based multihop wireless networks. A Markov renewal approach is used to analyze the behavior of TCP Reno and TCP Impatient NewReno. Compared to previous work, our main contributions are listed as follows: 1) modeling multiple lossy links, 2) investigating...
In a 802.11 based mobile ad hoc network (MANET), the routing protocol may wrongly assume that a route is broken due to temporal packet loss in connectivity arising from multiple packet collisions, which we term as a false route breakage. In this paper, we investigate the impact of false route breakages in MANETs. It is found that false route breakage is dependent on the size of packets transmitted...
