The amount of signaling needed to maintain the CRNs topology has been estimated with regard to different radius of clusters size management scenarios. The node mobility for the recommended network model has been simulated according to a Random Waypoint mobility model (RWP). The simulation results show that only a portion of the network hosts simultaneously traverse their respective cluster boundaries...
In dynamic network, including both the mobile ad-hoc network as well as the wireless sensor network, the services need to be provided putting into consideration the challenges of resource mobility and availability. Devices with a short switched-on period together with mobility and ad-hoc connections make the network connection highly unreliable. Mobility change not only brings with it a corresponding...
Mobile ad hoc networks (MANET) are modeled as agents that form communities without infrastructure, for a random period of time and with usually cooperative behavior. The nodes of MANET often carry information to disseminate. The dynamics of information delivery, mostly referred as average consensus, is a common problem in these networks. The gossip protocols are designed to implement this task. The...
In a mobile ad-hoc network, network topology changes dynamically due to mobility of computers, battery consumption and failure of mobile computers. Until now, many ad- hoc routing protocol tolerating such changes of network topology have been proposed. Here, all data messages are forwarded by all mobile computers included in a message transmission route detected by an ad-hoc routing protocol. No intermediate...
This paper proposes a new token-based mutual exclusion algorithm for directed graph topology, with or without cycles. In one of our earlier works, we have introduced a token based algorithm assuming an inverted tree topology. Such a stable, hierarchical topology is quite unrealistic for mobile networks due to frequent link failures and node mobility. The proposed solution overcomes this. Besides maintaining...
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...
In this paper, we introduce and evaluate ScaleMesh, a scalable miniaturized dual-radio wireless mesh testbed based on IEEE 802.11b/g technology- ScaleMesh can emulate large-scale mesh networks within a miniaturized experimentation area by adaptively shrinking the transmission range of mesh nodes by means of variable signal attenuators. To this end, we derive a theoretical formula for approximating...
Most techniques for personal data synchronization only allow one-to-one or star network topologies. Enkel DS presented in this paper extends OMA SyncML DS, an open industry standard for optimistic data synchronization. Enkel DS allows many-to-many topologies including cycles enabling a human user to synchronize each personal device with another.
Average consensus algorithms are protocols to compute the average value of all sensor measurements via near neighbors communications. They offer a natural tradeoff between the number of messages exchanged among terminals and the accuracy in the computation. Most of the models adopted for the message exchange in the literature, however, neither include explicit rate constraints nor explore the rate...
We developed a quality of service (QoS) management system to support service level management (SLM) for global enterprise services. The QoS management system is integrated with one of our enterprise services in a preproduction system, an identical system as the production system but in a test environment. Lab experiments showed that our integrated solution helps global enterprise services to better...
A principal factor in sensor network design is energy efficiency. In this work, we propose to extend the lifetime of sensor networks using appropriate choice of sensor node distribution. The key idea of our scheme is to deploy more nodes in areas of extensive energy usage. Using this scheme of sensor node distribution, we use probabilistic angular routing to route data packets from the sensor nodes...
The next generation of wireless communication is a ubiquitous radio system concept, providing wireless access from short-range to wide-area, with one single reconfigurable and adaptive system for all envisaged radio environments. This paper presents the design approach of RCO (reconfigurable concurrent oscillator) that simultaneously generates two or more signals of different frequencies that eliminate...
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...
