We present a distributed verification algorithm to check the existence of multiple disjoint paths between all nodes in a wireless network. In contrast to the expensive algorithms computing full disjoint paths between nodes, our proposed algorithm distributes the computation across the network and makes statements regarding the interconnectedness of the entire network. Specifically, it allows each...
Dissemination latency is critical to the applications of {\em cognitive radio networks}, which have become an important component of current communication infrastructure. This paper investigates the distribution of dissemination latency in a cognitive radio network where licensed users (primary users) are static and cognitive radio users (secondary users) are moving under general mobility, which provides...
In wireless networks a packet can be lost due to numerous reasons, such as congestion, medium related errors, routing and mobility. In these scenarios, the real congestion status of the network is crucial to develop accurate and efficient congestion control protocols. Some of the most known and recent protocols developed to provide faster and lighter congestion control are the eXplicit Control Protocol...
Multi-Packet Reception (MPR) enables simultaneous receptions from different transmitters to a single receiver, which has been demonstrated to bring capacity improvement in wireless network. However, MPR does not improve the transmission capability of intermediate relay nodes in a multi-hop routing and thus these nodes may become the bottlenecks for increasing throughput despite of great reception...
In this paper we study the connection availability of wireless networks from the perspective of end users with individual mobility, in contrast to existing studies mainly focusing on network-centric connectivity. Specifically, we evaluate the user connectivity by two metrics: neighbor connection time and neighbor isolation time. The former is the time for a node being connected with at least one neighbor;...
In this paper, we develop a cross-layer algorithm to minimize energy consumption in multi-hop wireless networks with finite buffers. Our algorithm guarantees a flow-based minimum data rate and a deterministic buffer size upper-bound for individual flows at network nodes. The algorithm jointly integrates congestion control, power allocation, routing and link rate scheduling. In addition, the algorithm...
Network-coded cooperative communications (NC-CC) refers to the use of network coding (NC) in cooperative communications (CC). Prior studies have shown that NC has the potential to improve the performance of CC when there are multiple sessions in the wireless network. These studies were done for the case when multiple sessions are sharing a single relay node. However, how NC-CC behaves when multiple...
Scalable video applications have been gaining popularity during last years. Providing high quality video over wireless networks towards heterogeneous receivers is a challenging task due to erratic and time-varying nature of a wireless channel. Compressed video bit-streams, such as Scalable Video Coding (SVC), are very vulnerable to channel disturbances when transmitted over error-prone wireless channels...
Optimizing information flow in a dense wireless network using discrete methods can be computationally prohibitive. Instead of treating the nodes as discrete entities, these networks can be modeled as continuum of nodes providing a medium for information transport. To model information routes in continuous space, information flow vector field is defined over the geographical domain of the network....
Applying statistical physics, we study the degree distribution of a wireless ad hoc network node sustaining inter-system interference from heterogeneous wireless ad hoc networks. The relationship between the average number of neighbors of a wireless network node and the number of retransmissions of its message is clarified under different broadcasting schemes. The degree distribution is then generalized...
Heterogeneous conditions can occur in multi-hop wireless networks due to a variety of factors such as variations in transmission power and signal propagation environments. Directed links can occur when the environment and/or the nodes are heterogeneous. In this paper, we examine the network connectivity for heterogeneous multi-hop wireless networks and propose an algorithm to identify the connectivity...
Connectivity k(G) of a network G is traditionally considered to be the primary metric for evaluation of its fault tolerance capability. However, connectivity as a metric has several limitations - e.g., it has no mechanism to distinguish between localized and random faults. Also it does not provide any information about the network state, if number of failures exceed k(G). The network state information...
In this paper, the effect of time difference of arrival (TDoA) is investigated for distributed nodes in OFDMA-based wireless mesh networks (WMNs). In order to minimize the interferences caused by TDoA in WMNs, the optimal starting point of the FFT window at the receiver side of a node is derived by maximizing the effective SINR for each subcarrier. Also, a signal detection technique, called two dimensional...
We consider the greedy scheduling based on the physical model in wireless networks with successive interference cancellation (SIC). There are two major stages in a scheduling scheme, link selection (to decide which link is scheduled next) and time slot selection (to deciding which slot is allocated to a given link). Most available schemes take a first-fit policy in the latter and strive to achieve...
The traditional studies on fault-tolerance in networks assume that the faults are random in nature, i.e., the probability of a node failing is independent of its location in the deployment area. However, this assumption is no longer valid if the faults are spatially correlated. In this paper we focus on the study of the impact of region-based faults on wireless networks. Most of the studies on connectivity...
This paper addresses the problem of inter-session network coding to maximize throughput for multiple communication sessions in wireless networks. We introduce virtual multicast connections which can extract packets from original sessions and code them together. Random linear network codes can be used for these virtual multicasts. The problem can be stated as a flow-based convex optimization problem...
In this paper, we propose a cross-layer optimization approach for replication of video streaming over multihop wireless network by jointly taking into account application, network, MAC, and physical layers. Specifically, we design a middleware replication strategy layer with a stack profile, in which parameters across the hops and all considered layers are exchanged for optimal video replication....
We study the capacity of ad hoc network with heterogenous traffic patterns, specifically on the fields of multicast and unicast traffic. We apply hierarchical cooperation scheme, MIMO technology and multihop transmission mechanisms in both traffic patterns. The major contribution of this paper is a new capacity analysis method and procedure for the network with heterogenous traffic patterns. Based...
