The evolution of mobile technologies had a major impact over the mobile services. The requests for multimedia services on portable devices are increasing continuously and they are becoming one of the main engines for the telecommunications industry. The heterogeneous wireless access technologies available on the mobile devices are an opportunity for the Mobile Network Operators to improve the quality...
Intermittent connectivity is common in certain wireless access networks. Existing network protocols are not resilient to disruption of communication links and communication often fails when faced with sporadic connectivity. Thus in recent years there is a growing interest in Intermittently Connected Mobile Networks (also know as Mobile Opportunistic Networks) and many routing protocols have been proposed...
This paper presents delay and throughput performance results for a "cache-and-forward" (CNF) network architecture for mobile content delivery services. The CNF network uses hop-by-hop transport and in-network storage to deliver large media files to mobile users. The CNF protocol is designed to deal with fluctuating wireless link quality and occasional periods of disconnection, and is therefore...
This paper presents modification of span for wireless mobile ad hoc networks. Span is an energy efficient coordination algorithm for topology maintenance in wireless ad hoc networks. Each node in span does the local decision on whether to announce for or withdraw from coordinator. We modify coordinator withdrawal procedure of span by adding average speed of node as one of the condition for withdrawing...
Access to networked data and information services has taken on an ever increasing importance to users for business, entertainment, and social networking applications. Users want high-speed, high-reliability, and high-quality access to these information services to be ubiquitous and available when they are fully mobile. Having these services available in a mobile environment also provides additional...
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...
