Admission control plays an important role in providing Quality of Service (QoS) guarantees for wireless mesh networks (WMNs). Multipath routing can improve network performance in reliability and load balancing. However, when the multipath routing are adopted in 802.11-based WMNs, the transmission with bandwidth assurance is facing rigorous challenges. In this paper, a novel joint design of multipath...
Cognitive radio network (CRN) users are inherently expected to experience widely varied delays and jitters due to the uncertainty in channel availability. Supporting delay sensitive real-time services through CRNs thus remains a challenging task. This paper presents a novel technique to provision QoS guarantee in CRNs by modeling the resultant channel of multiple primary networks and finding the optimum...
Due to the license-exempt nature of the cognitive radio (CR), multiple CR networks may operate (coexist) on the same channel. In this paper, we first discuss some techniques for self-coexistence of CR local and personal area networks, where the self-coexistence means the coexistence of homogeneous CR networks using the same PHY/MAC protocol. Then, we propose a self-coexistence etiquette for the ECMA...
Cognitive Radio Networks (CRNs) operate on the principle of opportunistically exploiting unused capacity in the primary network via Dynamic Spectrum Sensing. In this paper we propose a novel suite of transmit opportunity detection methods that effectively exploit the white/gray space in high traffic packet networks. We present a radically different paradigm to exploit the excess Signal-to-Noise ratio...
The IEEE 802.11e and the IEEE 802.11n focus on quality of service (QoS) and enhancements for high throughput respectively. Modern wireless LAN (WLAN) products should integrate both features. This paper presents a design of a high throughput MAC with QoS guarantee which combines the hybrid coordination function (HCF) of the 802.11e with the frame aggregation technique in the 802.11n. The basic idea...
The need for multiple radio systems in overlapping regions of a factory floor introduces a coexistence problem. The current research challenge is to design and realize radio systems that should be able to achieve a desired quality of service (QoS) in harsh, time-varying, coexisting industrial environments. As a solution cognitive radio (CR) built on top of a reconfigurable platform like software defined...
For the currently popular WiFi networks, the problem of communication blind spots is more acute, since the access points (APs) are not placed according to a central plan. In this paper, we design an Cyber physical system (CPS) based on an automatic mobile vehicle (AMV) to guarantee the quality of service (QoS) of real-time applications in WiFi networks. When a user enters the blind spot regions, the...
Driven by their low cost and ease of deployment, as well as their operation in unlicensed spectrum bands, IEEE 802.11-based Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs), also termed Wi-Fi, have been established as the de facto access technology for local area wireless connectivity. Especially in densely-populated urban areas, WLAN presence is ubiquitous. Residential WLAN owners, municipalities and venue owners,...
In Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs), traditional Physical Carrier Sensing (PCS), which aims at eliminating hidden terminals completely, brings too many exposed terminals and degrades the throughput seriously. Some existing work has proven that an aggressive PCS, which turns up the PCS threshold to allow the existence of hidden terminals, can improve the throughput by balancing the tradeoff between...
802.11 WLANs in the enterprise and large campus environments must provide quality of service (QoS) to large user base. A potential solution is a (static) Tier-2 multi-hop wireless mesh to replace the current Ethernet backhaul distribution network, making WLAN deployment easier, cheaper, and more efficient. However, todaypsilas 802.11 technology does not readily scale in such multi-hop environments...
