In order to access the Internet ubiquitously, most of the devices are equipped with multiple radio interfaces. In this way, the multi-homed node can attach to multiple access networks through multiple communication paths simultaneously. Flow based path selection is typically needed for the user to be always best connected. Meanwhile, autonomic feature can be introduced into the path selection system...
IEEE 802.11 proposed a number of standards and each one had a specific goal. They can be configured in infrastructure mode or ad hoc mode. In the study of infrastructure mode, the focus was on 802.11 b/g co-existence along with other single mode operations to analyze the throughput and traffic drop through simulation. In the study of ad hoc mode, the focus was to analyze the behavior of ad hoc networks...
With the increase of multimedia traffic over the past few years and traffic differentiation introduced by IEEE 802.11e, nodes with delay-sensitive multimedia traffic tend to be busy for long periods, thus exacerbating the congestion problem in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). Although most of the existing routing protocols are based on the shortest path algorithm, some other metrics like load and...
In this work, we present a cooperative QoS-aware routing algorithm based on the multi-rate service of IEEE 802.11, which is implemented to minimize the total sum of consumed timeslots while providing the required timeslots at nodes over routes and their contention neighbors over mobile ad hoc networks. The proposed algorithm shows better performance when traffic load is relatively heavy.
IEEE P1900.4 is an emerging standard for optimized radio resource utilization where cognitive radio technologies are used for efficient spectrum utilization. In this paper, we design and implement a cognitive wireless network system based on open documents of IEEE P1900.4, and evaluate its performance using UDP streaming and HTTP download. Our experiments show interesting results that total network...
In this paper, we introduce and evaluate ScaleMesh, a scalable miniaturized dual-radio wireless mesh testbed based on IEEE 802.11b/g technology- ScaleMesh can emulate large-scale mesh networks within a miniaturized experimentation area by adaptively shrinking the transmission range of mesh nodes by means of variable signal attenuators. To this end, we derive a theoretical formula for approximating...
This paper presents an integrated routing and MAC scheduling protocol (IRMA) for multihop wireless mesh networks. The IRMA approach is motivated by the fact that the overall performance achieved by conventional layered approaches (802.11 MAC combined with independent ad hoc routing protocols) is significantly lower than the underlying network capacity. We propose to integrate the routing and MAC into...
Following the huge commercial success of WLAN, multihop wireless networks are expected to lead in the next wave of deployment. Fundamental methods for traffic engineering must be developed to support diverse application requirements in these networks. This paper studies the problem of how to support weighted bandwidth allocation among all end-to-end flows in a multihop wireless network. Our goal is...
In this paper, we propose an adaptive pacing scheme at the link layer for IEEE 802.11 based multihop wireless networks. Our objective is to improve the performance of higher layer protocols without any modifications to them. Our adaptive pacing scheme estimates the four-hop transmission delay in the network path without incurring any additional overheads, and accordingly paces the packets to reduce...
