Wireless backhaul has received much attention as an enabler of future broadband mobile communication systems because it can reduce deployment cost of pico-cells, an essential part of high capacity system. A high throughput with a minimum delay network is highly appreciated to sustain the increasing proliferation in multimedia transmissions. In this research, we propose a backhaul network using the...
This paper describes an approach to detect Quality of Service degradation due to packet congestion within wireless networks. The proposed approach can assist management systems to detect a degradation based on easy determinable packet metrics. Metrics like interface queue length, round trip times and retry ratio are evaluated regarding thresholds and detection performance. With a combination of metrics,...
In recent years the research on Vehicular Ad Hoc Network (VANET) has been paid much attention due to the development of wireless network becoming mature, people think highly of traffic safety issue, the popularity of Global Positioning System (GPS), promising applications of VANET being exploited. However, VANET has the essential property of rapid change of large scale network topology. Besides, the...
Position messages will be the foundation for many emerging traffic safety applications based on wireless communications. These messages contain information about the vehicle's position, speed, direction, etc. and are broadcasted periodically by each vehicle. The upcoming IEEE 802.11p standard, intended for vehicle ad hoc networks (VANETs) has flaws caused by the unpredictable behavior of its medium...
It is critical to understand the effect of wireless interference so that we can better utilize the spectrum through dynamic allocation methods. This paper presents the results of an experimental study done to characterize UDP performance in wireless networks in the presence of interference. We have carried out experiments in a Shielded Room facility using three different interference sources. A controlled...
Despite the many routing protocols to choose from in the existing wireless network literature, routing has remained a challenging problem in the actual deployment of wireless mesh and ad hoc networks. To address some of the issues involved with routing in wireless mesh networks, in this paper we attempt to make routing more sensitive to the dynamics of the network such as interference, traffic load...
The multi-access scheme of 802.11 wireless networks imposes difficulties in achieving predictable service quality in multi-hop networks. In such networks, the residual capacity of wireless links should be estimated for resource allocation services such as flow admission control. In this paper, we propose an accurate and non-intrusive method to estimate the residual bandwidth of an 802.11 link. Inputs...
In this work, we focus on a WLANs mesh, i.e., an ad hoc, IEEE 802.11-based network whose nodes are either user devices or access points providing access to the mesh network or to the Internet. By relying on some work about IEEE 802.11 MAC analysis, we consider mesh-DQDC protocol and present an analytical model of the MAC scheme, through which we show that the protocol achieves high throughput both...
In this paper, we propose a cross-layer optimization approach that exploits retransmission diversity in wireless CDMA communications. Conventionally, data packets that are not correctly detected are usually dropped. These dropped packets can be used to help data packet detection. By exploiting all the retransmitted packets, data packets can be correctly detected with higher probability. The proposed...
In this paper, we address the issue of transmission power control (TPC) in wireless ad hoc networks. Power control plays an important role in energy saving and network performance enhancement. However, the existing TPC schemes either face the problem of hidden and exposed terminal or have additional hardware requirements. We propose a novel distributed power control protocol, called Receiver Initiated...
Adaptive ARQ is applied to a wireless network, altering retransmission policy according to content importance. By a video deadline-aware buffer discard policy, repeated transmission of expired packets and buffer overflow are mitigated, helping to maintain video quality. Multiple deadlines are applied according to picture type. The combined policy is demonstrated for a bluetooth piconet achieving fast...
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...
