We study how much energy can be saved by reshaping audio streaming traffic before receiving at the mobile devices. The rationale is the following: Mobile network interfaces (WLAN and 3G) are in active mode when they transmit or receive data, otherwise they are in idle/sleep mode. To save energy, minimum possible time should be spent in active mode and maximum in idle/sleep mode. It is well known that...
Networked devices are often equipped with multiple interfaces. Legacy routing and transport protocols only support the transport of data over a single interface resp. paths. This tutorial discusses extensions for IP and TCP in order to support multiple interfaces. Multihoming and mobility management allow the simultaneous usage of interfaces by independent application data flows, while multipath transport...
Radio frequency identification (RFID) uses wireless local area network technology, which limits its scope of application. And the data security isn't well protected because of the limited hardware resource of cheap electronic tag. In this paper, we realize the combination of TCP/IP and RFID technology by the Ethernet interface of SAMSysMP9320 reader/writer. This is accomplished by assigning IP address...
802.11-based WLAN deployments have become a commodity to provide today's wireless Internet access. In this paper, we conduct a practical study on the performance of FTP file transfers over real WLAN equipment. To this end, we propose a new analytic model that translates the highly complex dynamics of the FTP/TCP/IP/MAC-stack, and their interactions, into a single parameter, which will be called the...
TCP has been a congestion control method in the Internet. However, since TCP is not able to directly measure the network status from the end nodes, the TCP window control gradually increases the congestion window size until congestion occurs. This control gets network bandwidth aggressively and affects communication of all stations (STAs) which belong to the same access point of IEEE 802.11 standards...
Wireless LANs have been widely deployed as edge access networks in home/office/commercial buildings, providing connection to the Internet. Therefore, performance of end-to-end connections to/from such WLANs is of great importance to network applications and end-users. The advent of Dynamic Spectrum Access (DSA) technology is expected to play a major role in improving wireless communication. With DSA...
Current Internet protocols like TCP have been designed to work well on channels with low channel error rates. Wireless channels on the other hand exhibit high loss rates when compared to wired channels. Current TCP implementations usually attribute packet losses caused by channel errors as being actually caused by congestion. The result is an unnecessary reduction of the sending rate which leads to...
This paper discusses the implementation of IPv6 address generation/assignment mechanism proposed in Dibbler DHCPv6. In the mechanism, each user is assigned with random address which uniquely allocated for his/her exclusive use. It is shown that it can be incorporated into existing Dibbler software and tested under various network topologies. The proposed mechanism will enhance user privacy by dynamic...
We focus on the energy spent in radio communication by the stations (STAs) in an IEEE 802.11 infrastructure WLAN. All the STAs are engaged in web browsing, which is characterized by a short file downloads over TCP, with short duration of inactivity or think time in between two file downloads. Under this traffic, Static PSM (SPSM) performs better than CAM, since the STAs in SPSM can switch to low power...
Providing Internet services over wireless links has grown rapidly in recent years. TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) has been performing well over the traditional wired networks where packet losses occur mostly because of congestion, it cannot react efficiently in wireless networks, which suffer from significant non-congestion-related losses due to reasons such as bit errors and handoffs. The paper...
Multimedia streaming is increasing in popularity and has become one of the dominating services on the Internet today. Even though user devices are often equipped with multiple network interfaces and in reach of several access networks at the same time, media streams are normally communicated over only one of the available Internet connections. In this paper, we explore the challenges and potential...
We present a centralized integrated approach, ADWISER, for (i) managing an Internet access link bandwidth, and (ii) for enhancing the performance of an IEEE 802.11 WLAN. Our single-box approach is an extension to our previous work, where we focused on meeting TCP performance objectives over WLANs. In this work, we present a novel cascaded packet scheduling algorithm to address the issue of unfair...
The number of wireless Internet service users that use wireless LAN or satellite links has increased. The broadband satellite Internet services have especially attracted attention because of its characteristics such as global coverage and robustness. TCP (transmission control protocol) is used by many typical applications over satellite Internet. However, a typical TCP (such as TCP-NewReno) which...
An instance of measuring node of service life measuring and control system of household appliances using FPGA and nRF2401 is present. FPGA is the core of the system which is embedded with E-MAC IP core to realize the remote monitor system replying on the TCP/IP communication protocol, and nRF2401 is wireless periphery that realizes the wireless data acquisition. How to design and implement the hardware...
The Internet protocol stack provides a set of transport layer protocols. There are two dominant types of transport layer protocol used in the Internet: UDP (user datagram protocol) and TCP (transmission control protocol). The transport layer provides end-to-end information transfer across a network with the quality of service needed by the application. In this paper, we provide a performance comparison...
With the development of Mobile IPv6 and multicast technology, mobile multicast becomes a research hotspot. Based on two basic mobile multicast methods, the Bi-directional Tunnel (BT) method and the Remote Subscription (RS) method, some mobile multicast schemes have been proposed. However, most of them evaluate the performance by means of analysis and simulation, but lack of testing the performance...
Due to the rapid evolution of mobile processors and wireless networks, many personal mobile devices are able to support wide spectrum of Internet applications. In such systems, it is highly desirable to provide high-speed wireless communication while restraining the CPU from wasting its resources. Previous study has revealed that the bottlenecks of the communication on wireless devices are the data...
Hotspot wireless service attracts more and more attention all over the world. The demands for convenient, low-power, cost-effective, reliable hotspot access service urges the new technology emerging. The existing wireless access service system could not fulfill all of the above requirements for quickly growing users. Wireless AP (access point) and router system provide only networks access service,...
In wireless LAN connected with Internet, the anomaly of wireless channel and the greedy nature of closed loop control in TCP lead to the congestion problem and significant unfair bandwidth distribution between TCP flows. In this paper, an ECN-based access point congestion control algorithm called APCC (AP congestion control) is proposed. The main properties of APCC are: (1) Using both wireless channel...
Wireless mesh networks are emerging as a promising access network architecture. In this work, we report on an extensive measurement campaign performed over an experimental WiFi-based mesh network, deployed in an office building environment. The measurements are focused on the performance of HTTP traffic. Results demonstrate the existence of an unfairness issue, whereby longer sessions achieve better...
