A multichannel scheduling based on an extension of modified largest weighted delay first (M-LWDF) scheduling is proposed for heterogeneous traffic. We consider the downlink of an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system where the wireless channel and queue state information are taken into account to schedule delay-sensitive and ratesensitive traffic. We propose a logarithmic notion...
A wireless body area sensor network (WBASN) is a wireless networking technology that interconnects tiny nodes with sensing capabilities in, on or around a human body. The vital-sign information collected by these sensors can then be used by care-givers to assess the health of a patient. Therefore, it is necessary to provide reliable communication services to prioritized WBASN data streams with quality...
A cognitive scenario similar to BSS (basic service set) in CogMesh network is considered. Traditional MR (mesh router) is reconstructed into multi-transceiver structure, which called CMR (cognitive mesh router). CMR can allocate vacant spectrum bands for SMCs (secondary mesh client), which access the CMR with one hop. Besides, ESA algorithm is proposed according to the spectrum scenario based on the...
Wireless distributed computing has several unique problems compared with currently well investigated wireless sensor networks. These problems include the impact of channel variation on power allocation, different traffic pattern with higher utilization, and more restricted delay constraints. This paper investigates the impact of communication channel condition on the average execution time of the...
IEEE 802.15.4 standard provides a Guaranteed Time Slot (GTS) mechanism for time sensitive wireless networks in the beacon-enabled mode. However, the bandwidth underutilization problem may become worse when the traffic flow with various arrival rates leads to variance between the arrival rate and the guaranteed bandwidth which is allocated to satisfy the case of the maximal arrival rate. To overcome...
Dimensioning wireless sensor networks requires formal methods to guarantee network performance and cost in any conditions. Based on network calculus, this paper presents a deterministic analysis method for evaluating the worst-case performance and buffer cost of sensor networks. To this end, we introduce three general traffic flow operators and derive their delay and buffer bounds. These operators...
Aiming at the periodical data gathering application of wireless sensor network, the transmission delay and the network traffic loads are analyzed for the route-based data aggregation algorithm. It is then investigated how to minimize the network traffic within the data delay bound. An optimization problem is deduced based on the traffic aggregation model. Inspired by the hill-climbing algorithm, a...
In this paper, an energy efficient adaptive modulation scheme is proposed for a wireless cognitive radio ad hoc network, where each node is equipped with cognitive radio and the network is an OFDMA system operating on time slots. In each slot, the users with new traffic demand will sense the spectrum and locate the available subcarrier set. Then they choose subcarriers with favorable channel condition...
In this paper, we address the issue of transmission power control (TPC) in wireless ad hoc networks. Power control plays an important role in energy saving and network performance enhancement. However, the existing TPC schemes either face the problem of hidden and exposed terminal or have additional hardware requirements. We propose a novel distributed power control protocol, called Receiver Initiated...
