This paper concerns the smart exploitation of multimodal communication capabilities of underwater nodes to enable reliable and swift underwater networking. To contrast adverse and highly varying channel conditions we define a smart framework enabling nodes to acquire knowledge on the quality of the communication to neighboring nodes over time. Following a model-based reinforcement learning approach,...
In this paper, deterministic space-time block codes (STBCs) are used o design orthogonal channels to transmit the information independently in a cooperative communication-based sensor network. Two topologies of two-dimensional (2D) opportunistic networks, the ditributed grid strip and the colocated groups, having same node density are considered. Orthogonal STBCs designed for deterministic number...
Dynamic routing is considered an attractive solution for many network applications such as monitoring and tracking. In dynamic routing the path between the source and the destination can change dynamically following the network conditions. Next node selection criteria can have a great impact on the selection of each path and as a consequence on the network performance. Moreover, each network application...
A new standard, defining protocols has been evolving since 1997, called IEC61850. This standard enables several industrial benefits when using an Ethernet network, such as high speed device-to-device communications (i.e. peer-to-peer communications both digital and analog values) within cycles and between different vendors, high-speed processing of analog signals and a common database naming format...
We propose a multihop cooperative routing (MCR) algorithm that extends the lengths of the x axis projections of the hop distances and finds the multihop route that minimizes the number of hops in spectrum sharing networks. The cognitive relay and the cognitive receiver of each hop except the last one are selected by the following procedures. First, the cognitive node that is nearest away from the...
In this work, we establish a general framework for investigating statistical QoS provisioning in mobile ad hoc networks. Though the throughput and average delay in wireless ad hoc works have been has been intensively studied in the literature, statistical delay guarantee provisioning in large scale ad hoc networks has not received enough attention. A realtime application, e.g., interactive game and...
In this paper, we exploit the geographic opportunistic routing (GOR) for QoS provisioning with both end-to-end reliability and delay constraints in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Recent work exploits multipath routing to guarantee both reliability and delay QoS constraints in WSNs. However, the multipath routing approach suffers from a significant energy cost. We also find that existing GOR protocol...
With the growing demand for real time services in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), quality of service (QoS) based routing has emerged as an interesting research topic. But offering some QoS guarantee in sensor networks raises significant challenges. The network needs to cope with battery constraints, while providing QoS (end-to-end delay and reliability) guarantees. Designing such QoS routing protocols...
Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks are a promising technology that provides several interesting new functionalities to drivers and passengers. These services are spread through a wide variety of applications, each with specific requirements in terms of latency, jitter and bandwidth, among other metrics. For this reason, it is crucial to provide mechanisms that can be used to offer different levels of communication...
We consider data-streaming from an access point to multiple receivers, which is modeled as packet erasure channel. A simple network coding is shown to achieve larger rate region than without network coding, using minimal control information. The performance is characterized exactly using state transition graph. The scheme is then mapped to an information theoretic formulation for broadcast channel...
This paper proposes a fast forward medium access control protocol (FFMAC) for quality-of-service (QoS) guarantee in multihop IEEE 802.11s wireless mesh networks with multiple channels. To the best of our knowledge, the proposed protocol is the first one which considers the multihop and multichannel issues simultaneously. It provides higher priority for real-time applications, while remaining the distributed...
