With the development of the wireless communications technology and the multimedia technology, the wireless internet multimedia transport of real-time becomes an important applications field. We will meet a problem that the distinguish of the status of package loss is not very good which will affect the QoS when we transport multimedia data in wireless internet. Based on this problem the article comes...
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have attracted significant research interest in recent years because of their suitability to a wide range of real world applications. The envisioned Internet Protocol (IP) support for WSNs requires interoperability with existing management solutions, like Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), in order to provide remote management functionality and assure the correct...
This paper presents a new data transmission protocol in Delay Tolerant Mobile Wireless Sensor Networks, which divides the data transmission process into two phases: data reception phase and data forwarding phase, mainly fulfilling through analyzing the state of mobile nodes and using Hand up mechanism. Simulation result shows that, through the implementation of two phases, we can obtain a higher message...
In this paper, we investigate the training problem of wireless local area networks (WLANs) with downlink multi-user multiple input multiple output (DL MU MIMO) capability. We extend the 802.11 MAC protocol and propose a few training protocols at the MAC layer to support DL MU MIMO. We provide a capacity analysis based on measurement results from an 802.11n systems, evaluate the overhead of these training...
IEEE 802.11 Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) Physical Layer (PHY) offers multiple data rates. In multi-rate WLANs, 802.11 Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol, Distributed Coordination Function (DCF), essentially provides equal transmission opportunities to each sender host, causing the degradation of system throughput due to some hosts using low rates. In this paper we propose a cross-layer link...
The next generation wireless networks will comprise interworking heterogeneous wireless access network technologies. The interworking of these networks will enable access ubiquity, hence mobility, particularly vertical handover between the networks becomes topical. Thus, coordination within this diverse environment in terms of handover management is required to improve the handover performance. Furthermore,...
This paper addresses the fairness of Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols that are capable of handling interference on the physical layer to a varying extent. The variation addressed is thereby not based on different physical layer techniques applied, but on differing attribute levels of the same physical layer technique. This can e.g., be a varying number of antennas at each node in case of Multiple...
TCP's downlink performance during FMIPv6-enabled IEEE802.11g handoff is examined. The use of a user-initiated Handoff Notification, sent prior to handoff, is proposed. Therefore, the correspondent node is aware of the handoff-induced disruption, hence avoiding dropping the congestion window size and triggering Fast Retransmission mechanisms. During handoff, it continues to send data packets which...
The success and efficiency of managing an emergency situation (such as rescue operation, fire fighting etc.) depends on enabling a system that would ensure the timely availability of high-quality and latest information to the emergency Mobile Units (MU). The system must ensure the provisioning of relevant information in a secure manner irrespective of the location and/or mobility of the MU. The enabling...
In this paper, we evaluate the delay experienced by Poisson arriving packets for Cooperative truncated HARQ with opportunistic relaying in the presence of a noisy feedback channel. We derive the theoretical expressions of the expected waiting time and the packet's sojourn time in the queue of truncated opportunistic cooperativeARQ and Hybrid ARQ I, with and without Packet Combining (PC), and Hybrid...
P2P (peer-to-peer) streaming systems are getting more and more popular in recent years. P2P streaming architectures can be classified into tree-based and mesh-based. The tree-based architecture has low start-up delay, but is less resilient to node failures compared to the mesh-based architecture, and it would result in a low delivery ratio and unstable quality of received multimedia. In this paper,...
In this paper we propose a fast and energy efficient service provisioning approach. In our work, we focus towards the management of already discovered services. We assert that if the sensor nodes share the important service information among each other, then the service re-discovery can be reduced at greater extent. Hence a significant amount of Service Discover (SD) time and the network energy cost...
Mobile sink brings new challenges to densely deployed and large wireless sensor networks (WSNs). When the sink moves, frequent location updates from the sink can generate excessive power consumption of sensors. In this paper, we propose IAR, an Intelligent Agent-based Routing protocol that provides efficient data delivery to mobile sink. Proposed algorithm reduces signal overhead and improve degraded...
In many emerging wireless scenarios, consensus among nodes represents an important task that must be accomplished in a timely and dependable manner. However, the sharing of the radio medium and the typical communication failures of such environments may seriously hinder this operation. In the paper, we perform a practical evaluation of an existing randomized consensus protocol that is resilient to...
Multimedia communication networks, such as the Internet, are heterogeneous in their nature due to the usage of different methods for content distribution. The efficiency of multimedia distribution depends on the variety of communication protocols that are simultaneously running (composed) over different network hosts in order to resolve packet conflicts. A very natural question that arises in such...
SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) is standardized by Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) as a signaling and control functionality for multimedia services (video and audio). However, SIP is a text-based protocol with messages usually exceeding several hundred bytes in size, thus causing high call set-up latency over low bit-rate links. As a consequence, SIP suffers from undesirable delay which is...
After analyzing the merits and shortcomings of some current authentication protocols for roaming in wireless mesh networks (WMNs), we propose a new protocol for roaming based on multi-signature and three-party key agreement in this paper and prove the security of the protocol through formal analysis based on the strand space model. We also show the reliability and performance gain of the protocol...
The provision of service differentiation is an important aspect that has to be considered for the definition of next-generation networks due to the high heterogeneity of the traffic that will dominate networks in the near future. This is particularly important in the context of optical burst switching, which is emerging as one of the strong candidate technologies for the next-generation optical Internet...
Traditional congestion control algorithms exhibit low convergence speed to equilibrium in high BDP (Bandwidth Delay Product) networks. The Fast Max-Min Kelly Control (FMKC) is a new and promising protocol that performs well especially in fairness convergence speed. FMKC utilizes packet loss to switch temporarily into a fairing mode and thereby improve the fairness convergence speed. In this paper,...
High speed satellite communication networks are emerging as part of the future global wireless communication systems. However, existing transmission control protocols for satellite networks do not provide satisfactory performance over high speed satellite links due to their inefficient congestion avoidance algorithms. This paper identifies the reason for low throughput of a widely used protocol space...
