Wireless sensor networks can be used to deploy various applications to reflect the circumstance of environment. Video sensors used in wireless multimedia sensor networks (WMSNs) enhance such applications with multimedia data, but with specific characteristics requirement for the network. The aim of this work is to provide reliable data transport with multipath routing and load balancing congestion...
In this paper, a practical routing protocol that maximizes the guaranteed node traffic loads in reliable networks is designed and analyzed. The derived node traffic loads can be routed for every traffic pattern, and regardless of the possible single node or link failures. First, it is described how load balanced shortest path routing (LB-SPR) can be optimized to maximize the value of the guaranteed...
Network failures often cause service interruptions as well as packet losses. To mitigate the impact of failures, many IP fast local recovery schemes have been proposed to reroute traffic in the event of failure in past literatures. However, the rerouted traffic may cause congestion or overload on pre-computed backup routes if the link capacity on those backup routes is not considered in recovery schemes...
Reliable transmission is one of the key objectives of research on wireless network optimization. The backpressure-based Max-Weight Scheduling (MWS) policy is theoretically proven to be the optimal solution for achieving the highest available throughput. On the other hand, proactive routing protocols, such as Optimized Link State Protocol (OLSR), are able to compute reliable paths, which, in turn,...
The choice of a routing protocol in a wireless sensor network (WSN) depends on the nature of the application and on its primary mission. Lot of works addressed the problem of routing mechanisms with more or less effectiveness, some of which pointed out the use of the link quality indicator (LQI) as a route selection criterion (metric). In a previous work, following an experimental study, we have shown...
We consider the online data gathering problem in wireless sensor networks and examine the key issues of load balancing the nodes to achieve longer network lifetime, and that of load balancing the network links to achieve greater reliability in the network. We model the given network as a shortest-path DAG D, which defines a set of parent nodes for each node that determine the minimum-hops paths from...
Today's Internet is facing many problems which did not take into account in its initial design, such as routing scalability, mobility and security. No matter evolutional or revolutionary solutions that are proposed in recent years, a recognized promising direction is to separate customer network from core network and separate identification from location. In this paper, we sketch out an architecture...
In this paper, we consider hybrid circuit/packet networks. A hybrid circuit/packet network consists of a circuit network co-existing with a packet network; generally the packet network is embedded on top of the circuit network. However, in certain cases such as the DOE energy sciences network (ESnet), the circuit network and the packet network are deployed side-by-side (e.g. they have common end-node...
The routing based on load balancing and shortest path routing (LB-SPR) was recently introduced, and it was shown to have advantages over the standard shortest path routing (SPR) algorithms: it can support higher guaranteed traffic loads, and it simplifies the resource reservation processes. In this paper, the cost of setting up the reliable network which is resilient to node or link failures is analyzed...
We analyze the performance of six export policies for a multi-domain routing protocol in WDM networks. We show that providing many AS-disjoint paths for survivability and load-balancing does not necessarily guarantee the lowest connection blocking.
After decades of wired communication, the wireless communication has replaced them in the recent past. Due to the large bandwidth of wireless communication, it is used for multimedia applications. The wireless multimedia network has gained tremendous importance in recent years due to its wide applications. It is unreliable because of network parameter constraints such as bandwidth, buffer, delay,...
Two multi-layer network backup capacity recovery mechanisms, which are static and dynamic mechanisms, have been proposed to realize survivability strategy in IP over WDM multi-layer network. Compared with the static one, the dynamic backup capacity mechanism is adopted as its flexibility which is more suitable for the development in the current network. To achieve better performance of resource utilization,...
Implementing the dynamic couple of searching paths and resource allocation becomes increasingly important in the research of Quality of Service (QoS) routing. In this paper, we formulate the problem of dynamic QoS routing with resource allocation based on Worst-case Fair Weighted Fair Queuing (WF2Q) packet scheduling style. We propose an algorithm using the proved results - the optimal path resource...
The paper describes an optimization model which aims at minimizing the maximum link utilization of IP telecommunication networks under the joint use of the traditional IGP protocols and the more sophisticated MPLS-TE technology. The survivability of the network is taken into account in the optimization process implementing the path restoration scheme. This scheme benefits of the Fast Re-Route (FRR)...
In framework for integrating Internet and MANET, because the equipments in the networks are fixed, there is no need to consider the problem of energy. In MANET (mobile ad hoc network), the energy of the mobile nodes will affect the life time and the performance of the network, so it must consider the load and energy of a node. This paper proposes a new routing method called Load balancing and asymmetrical...
In wireless sensor networks, it is an important task to periodically collect data from an area of interest for time-sensitive applications. The sensed data must be gathered and transmitted to a base station for further processing to meet the end-user queries. Since the network consists of low-cost nodes with limited battery power, it is a challenging task to design an efficient routing scheme that...
Providing network QoS involves, among other things, ensuring network survivability in spite of network faults. Fault recovery mechanisms should reduce recovery time, especially for real-time and mission-critical applications while guaranteeing QoS requirements, in terms of bandwidth and delay constraints and maximizing network resources utilization. In this paper, we propose a scalable recovery mechanism...
Because sensor nodes operate on power limited batteries, sensor functionalities have to be designed carefully. In particular, designing energy-efficient packet forwarding is important to maximize the lifetime of the network and to minimize the power usage at each node. This paper presents a geographic energy-aware multipath stream-based (GEAMS) routing protocol for WMSNs. GEAMS routing decisions are...
Nodes in ad hoc networks can be unfairly burdened to support many packet-relaying functions, resulting in excessive loads on these hot spots. This load on nodes appears in two major aspects: traffic and power consumption. Unbalanced traffic may lead to more delay, packet dropping, and decreasing packet delivery ratio (PDR). Unbalanced energy consumption leads to node failure, network partitioning...
In routing protocols for wireless sensor networks energy efficiency is of paramount importance. Reliability-oriented protocols discard lossy links to avoid the significant energy cost of packet loss. The downside is that nodes with a particularly favorable channel tend to be overused: their lifespan is curtailed and the total amount of data delivered by the network may be significantly reduced. This...
