We present a novel topology control algorithm for very dense wireless sensor networks that is constrained by a small maximum nodal degree k. Particularly, we limit k = 4 which makes it challenging to formulate a connected network that possesses favorable properties such as a small diameter, short average path length and low energy consumption. Towards this goal, we introduce a graph theoretic approach...
This paper investigates the benefits of enabling services with differentiated energy-saving (DiffEnS) in WDM optical networks with traffic grooming capabilities. DiffEnS can reduce the operating cost (OPEX) as more customers gradually join green programs and subscribe to the energy efficient traffic services referred to as the Green. Based on a modular node design with grooming capabilities, two heuristic...
Compared to energy-awareness research in wireless and copper networks, less attention has been given to energy awareness in optical counterparts. In this paper, we introduce energy-aware traffic grooming problems for optical networks. We show that by looking further into the modular physical architecture of a node during request allocations, we can significantly reduce the number of active components...
We address multi-radio networks, i.e., wireless networks where the nodes are equipped with multiple air interfaces. We analyze, both analytically and via simulation, various gains that the multi-radio environment can provide. First we investigate the gain in network connectivity by modeling the topology of a multi-radio network by a multigraph. The gain is captured by introducing the novel graph theoretic...
In this paper a Rayleigh fading model based reliability-centric routing algorithm is proposed for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). The proposed scheme is optimized with respect to minimal power consumption to improve longevity as well as to ensure reliable packet transmission to the Base Station (BS). Reliability is guaranteed by selecting path over which the probability of correct packet reception...
Due to its fast, dynamic, and distributed growth process, it is hard to obtain an accurate map of the Internet. In many cases, such a map-representing the structure of the Internet as a graph with nodes and links-is a prerequisite when investigating properties of the Internet. A common way to obtain such maps is to make certain local measurements at a small subset of the nodes, and then to combine...
