In mobile P2P systems over 3G cellular networks, traditional peer selection algorithms with the idea of traffic localization are not suitable due to the architecture and characteristics of 3G cellular networks. In this paper we propose a novel peer selection algorithm named CFPL for mobile P2P systems over 3G cellular networks. By taking not only the available uplink bandwidth of peers but also the...
Sensor nodes in Cognitive Sensor Networks (CSNs) can work on different frequency bands (or channels) according to dynamically available wireless resources. This paper proposes a spectrum-aware routing scheme for CSNs, which jointly considers traffic balance, route configuration and power control for reliable end-to-end communications. Bayesian learning method is used to estimate the number of neighboring...
This paper proposes a multi-channel MAC scheme for Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs), which dynamically adjusts the intervals of Control Channel (CCH) and Service Channels (SCHs). Markov modeling is conducted to optimize the intervals based on the traffic condition. The scheme also introduces a multi-channel coordination mechanism to provide the contention-free access in SCHs. Theoretical analysis...
As a newly rising topic in network multicast Held, application layer multicast is widely concerned. Analyze and compare technical proposal of application layer multicast protocols Narada, NICE and HMTP, etc. used by typical wide P2P streaming media service model, make an outlook on study prospect of P2P streaming media and summarize study status and its existing problems of P2P streaming media, which...
This paper studies how to design distributed resource allocation in multi-radio multi-channel wireless mesh networks with the objective of maximizing the network utility. We address the problem via a cross-layer approach with a joint consideration of multi-path routing, congestion control, scheduling, radio allocation and channel assignment. The problem is formulated as a mixed-integer non-linear...
Topology control with per-node transmission power adjustment is an effective way to extend network lifetime. However, due to the commonly used assumption of homogeneous wireless networks with uniform maximal transmission power, most topology control algorithms suffer from performance degradations in practical applications where physical characteristics of each node may be different. Hence, it is valuable...
Wireless mesh networks (WMNs) is an emerging communication paradigm to enable resilient, cost-efficient and reliable services for the future-generation wireless networks. We study the minimum-latency communication primitive of gossiping (all-to-all communication) in multi-hop ad-hoc WMNs. Each mesh node in the WMN is initially given a message and the objective is to design a minimum-latency schedule...
In this paper, we study the joint optimization problem on channel coding, power allocation, and route planning in wireless sensor networks (WSN) using dynamic programming (DP). Each sensor node has multiple antennas and applies orthogonal space time block codes (OSTBC) in order to improve the transmission reliability. A decode-and-forward protocol is adopted to relay the signals. The objective function...
In this paper, we propose the optimal resource allocation strategies for energy constrained coded cooperative networks. By combining power control and multi-relays selection with LOC adjustment, our schemes aim at providing higher QoS and extending network lifetime. We consider the TDMA based scenario where one node acts as the source and the other nodes can be selected as relay nodes in a time slot...
Group mobility is prevalent in many MANET applications, such as disaster recovery, military actions, etc., and group partitions are unavoidable under such dynamic network. Group partitioning may result in frequent link disconnections, which hence affects the inter-group communication. In this paper, we introduce a framework for predicting potential group partitions in MANETs such that remedial actions...
In a cognitive radio wireless network, each node can sense and opportunistically access the under-utilized spectrums in the primary system. Since the unoccupied spectrum is location-dependent and time-dependent, the available spectrums in each node are different. With this spectrum heterogeneity and different Quality-of-Service (QoS) requirement, different nodes may have different preferences in using...
Topology control via per-node transmission power adjustment has been shown effective in extending network lifetime. However, most of existing algorithms construct static topologies which fail to consider the residual energy of network nodes, thus in fact they can not balance energy consumption efficiently. To address this problem, a lightweight distributed topology control algorithm EDTC (Energy-aware...
Channel capacity and node energy represent resources and constraints in designing efficient routing schemes for Wireless Sensor Networks(WSNs). To delivery more data, a higher rate is desirable, which however consumes more energy and may demand more bandwidth. Hence, data transmission in WSNs should take into account both limited capacity and constrained energy. In this paper, we propose an utility-based...
In a cognitive wireless mesh network (CogMesh), each cognitive radio (CR) enabled mesh node can sense and opportunistically access the under-utilized spectrums in the primary system. Since the unoccupied spectrum is location- dependent and time-dependent, the available spectrums in each mesh node are different. With this spectrum heterogeneity, each node shall have the knowledge of spectrum, scheduling,...
