Wireless Body Sensor Networks (WBSNs) have recently gained a lot of research interests due to emerging new applications in health-care, sports and entertainment. As the design of effective network architectures is a key issue to achieve energy-efficient and low-latency communications between the on-body sensors, the 1-hop star and the 2-hop extended star architectures have recently been promoted by...
Our proposed information-diffusion-based routing (IDBR) is implemented on Tsinghua University's large-scale ASON test-bed. The procedure of IDBR is validated together with RSVP-TE signaling in the experiment. Results show that the IDBR is fast converged and has low bandwidth consumption.
In large multi-domain networks, topology aggregation - besides assuring scalability - has a side-effect as it introduces undesired inaccuracies in the routing information. Such inaccuracy affects the efficiency of routing. In this paper, with the application of a threshold-based aggregation model, the relation between scalability and routing efficiency has been examined by evaluating two different...
Self-organizing multi-radio mesh networks can be used to establish metropolitan ad hoc telephony networks in disaster recovery situations and public safety settings such as after a flood or a terrorist attack. These networks can be employed to enable forces to extend the remaining circuit- switched communication infrastructure. This paper introduces a system architecture, a self-organized topology...
In the current Internet architecture, functions such as addressing, routing, and forwarding are entangled. Among other consequences, this makes it difficult to modify one without affecting the others, and obscures the role of policy at various places in the architecture. This paper considers a network layer designed as a set of separable component mechanisms that work together to provide a best-effort...
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...
Most network operators have considered reducing Label Switched Routers (LSR) label spaces (i.e. the number of labels that can be used) as a means of simplifying management of underlaying Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) and, hence, reducing operational expenditure (OPEX). This letter discusses the problem of reducing the label spaces in Multiprotocol Label Switched (MPLS) networks using label merging...
This paper describes a new path computation model in Multi-protocol Label Switching (MPLS) and Generalized MPLS (GMPLS) networks. It introduces a path computation element (PCE), which is functionally separate from label switching routers (LSRs). The Path Computation Element (PCE) is an entity that is capable of computing a network path or route based on a network graph, and applying computational...
