In public safety and disaster recovery (PSDR) scenarios, reliable communication is an imperative. Unfortunately, communication infrastructure is often destroyed or overwhelmed by whatever precipitated the scenario (e.g., a hurricane or terrorist attack). Thus, the PSDR workers must often deploy their own communications infrastructure on-site. Wireless mesh networks (WMN) have been identified as being...
A home network gateway has been developed, which supports both wire and wireless communication functions. ZigBee and PLC modules are taken as communication hardware and a conversion protocol is implemented to be able to smoothly exchange the information between the two hardware modules. The developed gateway shows good performance and can supports various home network service configurations.
The development of mobile ad hoc systems have considerably emphasized the need for a better understanding of the factors that influence the systemspsila performance, i.e., mobility patterns, radio propagation, traffic characteristics and their interrelations. Depending on the context where the system is being used-whether at work, at home, or in some means of transportation-there will be various applications...
Low-cost wireless routers are changing the way people connect to the Internet. They are also very cheap, albeit quite limited, Linux boxes. These attributes make them ideal candidates for wireless mesh routers. This paper presents a minimally invasive mechanism for redundant multipath routing in kernel-space to achieve high reliability with high throughput in a mesh network. This service is essential...
Wireless mesh network (WMN) has become a popular access network architecture. But because of its multi-hop nature, co-channel interference and contention, the attainable capacity of a wireless node in a WMN is significantly less than the radio capacity. We propose a overlay architecture for a WMN, where a wireless-ring (WRing) is deployed over the regular mesh for carrying wireless mesh traffic only...
Adaptive ARQ is applied to a wireless network, altering retransmission policy according to content importance. By a video deadline-aware buffer discard policy, repeated transmission of expired packets and buffer overflow are mitigated, helping to maintain video quality. Multiple deadlines are applied according to picture type. The combined policy is demonstrated for a bluetooth piconet achieving fast...
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...
