We propose a new energy efficient network structure for maintaining synchronization in access methods based on Synchronous Preamble Sampling. Our scheme limits the number of synchronization messages and increases network capacity through the use of multiple non-interfering virtual channels. It consists in constructing independent clusters based on the Weakly Connected Dominating Set (WCDS) so that...
We propose an efficient way of constructing the wireless mesh structure associated with molecular MAC, a multichannel access method designed for efficient packet forwarding. We base our role assignment on a restricted weakly connected dominating set structure. After presenting a formal definition of the role assignment problem, we prove its NP-completeness. Then, we propose a centralized 2-approximation...
We propose a novel view on efficient packet forwarding in wireless mesh networks based on a molecular analogy in which mesh routers are either nuclei or electrons in an atom that corresponds to a 802.11 cell. In this view, a mesh network appears as a collection of spatially distributed 802.11 cells operating on different channels. We define molecular MAC that uses dynamic channel switching at neighbor...
A multi-channel MAC is a promising approach for improving network throughput by multiplexing transmissions over orthogonal channels. Molecular MAC has recently adopted this approach by proposing to modify the standard IEEE 802.11 DCF. It requires role and channel assignment to nodes: some of them use a static channel while others dynamically switch to neighbor channels on-demand. To assign roles and...
A multichannel MAC improves throughput in wireless mesh networks by multiplexing transmissions over orthogonal channels. In this paper, we propose an efficient way for constructing the wireless mesh structure associated with Molecular MAC, a multichannel MAC layer designed for efficient packet forwarding. Molecular MAC outperforms other classical approaches, but requires a specific structure for efficient...
We present a novel geographical routing scheme for spontaneous wireless mesh networks. Greedy geographical routing has many advantages, but suffers from packet losses occurring at the border of voids. In this paper, we propose a flexible greedy routing scheme that can be adapted to any variant of geographical routing and works for any connectivity graph, not necessarily Unit Disk Graphs. The idea...
Wireless mesh networks can increase wireless connectivity by routing packets through multiple wireless hops. However, a very efficient wireless interconnection is necessary to make these networks operative in practice. In this paper we describe a technique to increase the throughput of wireless mesh networks, based on cooperative communications. In the proposed setup, multiple nodes cooperate at the...
Mobility models allow to mimic the behavior of mobile nodes when MANET performances are evaluated via simulations. Nevertheless, simulations results are strongly correlated with the mobility model. In this work, we introduce new metrics in order to characterize any mobility model. These metrics reflect the nodes distribution, the local topology changes, the repetitive behavior of a model, etc. They...
