Vehicular ad-hoc networks will soon support a wide variety of inter-vehicle and vehicle-to-roadside applications. In many cases these networks will also co-exist with battery operated networks such as those deployed for sensor and mesh networked applications. In these latter types of networks, mesh node energy efficiency is often of paramount importance. This paper proposes improvements in mesh network...
Delay tolerant networks (DTNs) are a class of emerging networks that experience frequent and long-duration partitions. Multicast supports the distribution of data to a group of users, a service needed for many potential DTN applications, due to the unique characteristic of frequent partitioning in DTNs, multicasting in DTNs is a considerably different and challenging problem. In this paper, The mathematics...
In order to provide communication service in the Intermittently Connected Mobile Networks (ICMN) where there is only intermittent connectivity between mobile nodes, a variety of epidemic-style routing algorithms have been proposed to achieve high message delivery probability. However, current works do not address the realistic environment that a message is split into multi frames to be transmitted...
Smart grid is an emerging technology which is able to control the power load via price signaling. The communication between the power supplier and power customers is a key issue in smart grid. Performance degradation like delay or outage may cause significant impact on the stability of the pricing based control and thus the reward of smart grid. Therefore, a QoS mechanism is proposed for the communication...
With the development of network, users'services put forward diverse demands on the network QoS (Quality of Service), the QoS routing is the optimization problem under the satisfaction of multiple QoS constraints. This paper firstly sets up a multi-constrained QoS routing model and constructs the fitness value function by transforming the QoS constraints with a penalty function. Secondly, we merge...
In this paper we devise efficient optimization techniques to find optimal routing and scheduling policies for wireless ad hoc networks in the presence of multi-user interference and cooperative transmissions. Our focus is to assess the impact of interference among distinct data flows on optimal routing paths and related transmission schedules. In our reference scenario, all nodes have a single antenna...
Aiming at constructing a delay and delay variation bounded Steiner tree in the real-time streaming media communication, we discuss in this paper a multicast routing algorithm based on searching a directed graph (MRASDH).In the construction of the multicast tree, there always exist some nodes and links in the network topology that do not affect the outcome of the tree constructed. Therefore, based...
A hierarchical routing concept with key enabling mechanisms: hierarchical neighbor and route discovery, network optimization and service discovery, are provided and evaluated in this paper. The hierarchical routing concept is novel in the sense that both physical neighbors and logical neighbors are discovered to optimize the route and service discovery process as well as enable optimization of the...
Recent developments in the field of transmission line monitoring system have led to a renewed interest in wireless sensor networks, which is characterized by the strong real time, high reliability, adaptability, load balancing and so on. However, the bottleneck problem of network transmission which is likely to occur around the sink node must be taken into account. This paper proposes a new cross-layer...
In this paper, we present a fully distributed cross-layer algorithm with delay constraint in order to support real-time multimedia services in cooperative networks. The Network Utility Maximization problem is decomposed into congestion-contention control subproblem in the link layer and routing subproblem in the network layer. We design an End-to-end delay framework for modeling delay constraint in...
Multicast routing consists in sending information in computer networks to a selective number of destinations. QoS and Traffic Engineering requirements can also be considered in such kind of routing, leading to the need of optimizing a set of objectives subject to constraints. We investigated algorithms to perform the calculus of multicast routes while minimizing four objectives - maximum link utilization,...
In sparse mobile sensor networks, nodes have a small number of neighbors with intermittent connectivity. This paper presents a new networking protocol for this type of network, aimed at maximizing system performance in terms of both delay and reliability. The system is motivated by the observation that many applications on this type of network have two kinds of co-existing data packets: those with...
Due to technology or policy constraints, communications across network domains usually require the intervention of gateways, and their proper deployment is crucial to the overall performance. In this paper, we study the problem of placing static gateways in mobile DTNs consisting of multiple domains. Given a limited gateway budget, the problem is to select deployment locations to optimize certain...
QoS multicast routing problem is a nonlinear combination optimization problem, which has been proved to be a NP complete problem. a hybrid algorithm with ant colony optimization algorithm(ACO) and particle a warm optimization algorithm(PSO) is presented. The ACO-GA algorithm absorbs the merits of ACO and GA respectively. In hybrid algorithm, the position update of PSO is used to regulate the solution...
New architectures have recently been proposed and deployed to support end-to-end advance reservation of network resources. These architectures rely on the use a centralized scheduler, which may be unpractical in large or administratively heterogeneous networks. In this work, we explore and demonstrate the feasibility of implementing distributed solutions for advance reservation. We introduce a new...
The multi-constrained QoS multicast routing problem has been shown to be NP-complete. Many researchers used some single-objective optimization algorithms to solve the problem. However, the constraint-handling approaches in these methods have some drawbacks. In this paper, we converted the constraints sing-objective problem into a multi-objective problem, and gave a Multi-Objective Evolutionary Algorithm...
This paper considers network control for wireless networks with finite buffers. We investigate the performance of joint flow control, routing, and scheduling algorithms which achieve high network utility and deterministically bounded backlogs inside the network. Our algorithms guarantee that buffers inside the network never overflow. We study the tradeoff between buffer size and network utility and...
Intelligent analysis and designing of network routing provides an edge in this increasingly fast era. In this work, we present a variation of Genetic Algorithm (GA) for finding the Optimized shortest path of the network. The algorithm finds the optimal path by using an objective function consisting of the bandwidth and delay metrics of the network. We also introduce the concept of ??2-point over 1-point...
A heuristic optimization framework is proposed for routing virtually-concatenated 100Gb/s Ethernet over optical transport networks with distributed differential delay compensation. Under short computing times, reduced buffer sizes and limited link capacity requirements are obtained.
Providing quality of service (QoS) guarantees in networks gives rise to several challenging issues. One of them is how to determine a feasible path that satisfies a set of constraints while maintaining high utilization of network resources. Multi-constrained QoS routing algorithm finds a feasible route in network that satisfies multiple independent constraints. In general, multi-constrained path selection...
