Avionics Full DupleX (AFDX) Switched Ethernet technology provides a deterministic network to avionics context. Guarantees on worst-case end-to-end (ETE) communication delays are required for certification purposes. This paper identifies the worst-case ETE analysis as an optimization problem and proposes a mathematical programming approach to calculate an exact worst-case delay and the corresponding...
In recent years, BitTorrent traffic accounts for a substantial percentage of Internet traffic in the world. However, the current BitTorrent protocols disregards traffic cost at the underlying network and generate a large amount of inter-AS traffic. As a result, BitTorrent peers may suffer from slow download of files due to long delays. Moreover, ISPs may limit BitTorrent traffic to reduce inter-AS...
In this paper, we proposed an efficient FSN (first station number) assignment scheme to mitigate urgent message transmission delay in multi-hop MIL-STD-188-220D w/Change 1 networks. In the standard, the FSN is incremented constantly and designates the index of a station that is to have the first network access opportunity at the next network access period. When a station transmits its message to stations...
Providing integrated network functionality in VHF tactical networks has been problematic for many years. Modern MANET routing techniques can swamp the limited bandwidth of ground-based tactical networks while legacy techniques are inefficient. In this paper, we expand on our previous work using a cross-layered approach and propose a new technique for Multicast Enhanced Opportunistic Routing (MEOR)...
In wireless sensor networks (WSNs), sensors usually form a tree topology and the sensed data are transmitted to a sink using multihop communication fashion. The tree topology works effectively in handling the traffics towards the sink. However, this tree topology aggravates the waste of network resources. In particular, sensors close to the sink will overuse the energy for transmitting other sensed...
Due to the US Government's cancellation of the Transformational Satellite Communications (TSAT) program, Internet Protocol (IP) networking using Military Satellite Communications (MILSATCOM) is not currently planned. In order to support military IP based communications over MILSATCOM systems; affordable, effective and efficient solutions must be developed. An alternate near-term MILSATCOM networking...
In this paper, we present design and implementation aspects of a network resource provisioning module proposed for the Polish Initiative of Future Internet called System IIP (being currently one of major European projects aimed at designing the Internet of the Future). In particular, we introduce novel LP optimization models of network resource provisioning designed to minimize the resource consumption,...
This paper addresses the NP-hard problem of switching off bundled links whilst retaining the QoS provided to existing applications. We propose a fast heuristic, called Multiple Paths by Shortest Path First (MSPF), and evaluated its performance against two state-of-the-art techniques: GreenTE, and FGH. MSPF improves the energy saving on average by 5% as compared to GreenTE with only 1% CPU time. While...
This paper investigates the consensus problem of multi-agent networks with aperiodic sampled communication and nonuniform time-delays under switching topology. A distributed impulsive algorithm is introduced to achieve consensus, where only position measurements are utilized. It is shown that under certain assumptions upon the sampling intervals, the diagonal elements of Laplace matrix and the control...
We present LVRI, a hybrid link-state routing protocol based on exchange of link states in a region of interest. The region of interest (ROI) is defined as a connected component of the network that includes the source, destination nodes and the nodes that act as relays for the data. An ROI is established on-demand and exists as long as there are data to be sent. Each node in the region of interest...
Design and planning Military networks requires complex cost-performance trades involving several functions ranging from subnet creation, topology generation, routing hierarchy design & protocol choice, waveform and frequency planning and MAC choices. In this paper we focus on a subset of the design problems pertaining to routing architecture design with unit task organization (UTO) requirements...
In the view of the large scale and increasing kinds of service of space information networks, a service- oriented topology control algorithm is proposed. According to demands of existing service, the topology of network is divided into several logical sub-topologies, on which construct the corresponding topology. Taking the communication pattern as an example, the augmentation-based approach is adopted...
A MANET (Mobile Ad Hoc Network) can support large as well as small scale network topology. Based upon our specific small scale MANET requirement, we have taken the combination of horizontal and vertical topology with less number of nodes to check how the various MANET protocols like pro-active (DSDV) and re-active (AODV and DSR) performs in this manner. In this research study, we have observed these...
We present experimental results for performance of the 2D hypermesh NoC topology, realized with the Altera Family of FPGAs. Hypermeshes are based on the concept of hypergraphs, which consist of a set of nodes and a set of hyper-edges, where the hyper-edges represent low-latency distributed switches. In a 2D hypermesh, the nodes in each row or column are members of a hyperedge, where packets can traverse...
The message deliveries based on the store-carry-forward routing schemes, such as Epidemic Routing(ER), are one of useful methods for communication under challenged environments. However, these methods commonly have their own limitations in reach ability of messages to destinations and scalability. For example, as the distance to the destination increases, the delivery delay of a message between source...
Networks-on-Chip (NoC) with low-radix switches forming a simple and planar topology is typically accepted as the right interconnection infrastructure for current Chip Multi Processor and high-end Multi Processor System-on-Chip. This is mainly due to its simplicity in the physical mapping on the chip. However, as the network diameter increases, latency and power consumption are increased due to the...
Experimentation is typically the last step before launching a network application in the wild. However, it is often difficult to gather enough hardware resources for experimenting with a reasonably sized overlay application inside a controlled environment. Virtualization is thus a handy technique for creating such an experimentation testbed. We propose a tool called NEmu designed to create virtual...
Wireless sensor networks, WSNs, are an efficient way to deal with low-rate communications in confined environments such as mines or nuclear power plants because of their simplicity of deployment and low cost. In these application domains, WSNs are used to gather data from sensor nodes towards a sink in a multi-hop convergecast structure. In this paper, we focus on a traffic-aware time slot assignment...
This paper first introduces existing congestion control algorithms and analyses their weakness. And after discusses the features and requirements of network topology simulation system, a congestion control scheme based on improved RED algorithm named DFCC was presented. DFCC reduces the package loss by adjusting link delay dynamically when congestion happens. And by means of twice optimization of...
As the number of processing elements which can be placed on a single chip doubles about every two years, both System-on-Chip (SoC) and the microprocessor market call for high-performance, flexible, scalable, and design-friendly interconnection network architectures [1]. Network-on-Chip (NoC) has been proposed as a solution to multi-core communication problems. The advantages of NoC include high bandwidth,...
