In this work we show that random-access protocols, which are used in a range of networks (e.g. WiFi, power line communications and Internet of Things), may experience a high-throughput, extremely long (of the order of hours) transitory phase. This behaviour is not highlighted by common analysis techniques and experimental evaluations, which can lead to incorrect prediction of network performance....
With growing data demand and the current dearth of spectrum, mobile operators are looking for new frequency bands to satisfy data-hungry users. One promising avenue of expansion is TV white spaces, which are currently available to secondary users as long as they do not interfere with primary (i.e., incumbent) users. In this work, we explore the benefits of offloading cellular traffic onto TV white...
We study an offloading mechanism for cellular networks in which mobiles with good cellular links can act as hotspots and can assist other mobiles. We study throughput optimal offloading and also a fair offloading strategy which we call proportional increment offloading. We show that the former problem can be reduced to a capacitated facility location problem (CFLP) whereas the latter can be solved...
Internet service providers (ISPs) struggle to invest in upgrading their networks to catch up with growing mobile data demand, while users have to face significant data overage fees. Pooling ISPs' network infrastructures can potentially enable better user experience and lower prices. For example, Google recently launched a cross-carrier MVNO (mobile virtual network operator) data plan called Project...
Secure routing in the field of mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is one of the most flourishing areas of research. Devising a trustworthy security protocol for ad hoc routing is a challenging task due to the unique network characteristics such as lack of central authority, rapid node mobility, frequent topology changes, insecure operational environment, and confined availability of resources. Due to low...
Long Term Evolution (LTE) boasts several throughput enhancing techniques like optimized MAC layer protocols, better modulation schemes, spatial multiplexing, carrier aggregation, etc. Although these techniques allow LTE to offer data rates as high as 300 Mbps, LTE is expected to fall short of consumer expectations due to the exponentially increasing user data demands. In a bid to cope with the increasing...
A Mobile Adhoc Network (MANET) is featured by multi hop wireless connectivity with topology change due to highly mobile stations with autonomous configuration ability. Therefore, it is very challenging to develop vibrant and resourceful routing Protocol for MANET which also performs excellent routig with security feasibility. This paper presents a detailed study and analysis of various routing issues...
Design of energy efficient underwater wireless sensor networks (UWSNs) routing protocol to prolong network lifetime is a challenging task because of limited battery life of sensor nodes. In this paper, we propose mobile energy efficient square routing protocol (MEES) to balance energy consumption of nodes in the network. Two mobile sinks are deployed at the farthest distance from each other. In order...
As mobile devices and mobile applications largelygrow, mobile data traffic increases at an unprecedented rate. How to alleviate mobile traffic congestion becomes a widelydiscussed issue. Because that most mobile data is not necessarilyused immediately (e.x. update applications, download a largesize video, etc.), these data are allowed to complete transmissionbefore delay-tolerant deadline. In this...
An emerging usage is to rely on mobile devices (Smartphones or tablets) for large-scale events. They can be used for many applications like live voting or chatting, but also to access all the data related to an event. However, in such case, handling mobile devices trying to access data simultaneously is difficult. A Wi-Fi access point can only handle a limited amount of devices. Current solutions,...
The number of commuters and job-related travelers on public transport is constantly increasing. Often, these spend their time traveling working or consuming news. Consequently demands on mobile network access are rising. Cellular networks, in particular as experienced from within trains, often lack the desired performance. The underlying study exemplary analyses the cellular network quality on a popular...
Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) are continuously self-organizing, infrastructure-less consisting of collection of mobile nodes that communicate with each other without the use of centralized authority. MANETs are perfect for positions where a fixed structure is infeasible. Today's MANETs, suffer from network partitioning. This restriction makes MANETs in appropriate for applications such as crisis...
In recent years, as higher performance terminal equipments are spread, the amount of mobile data traffic is growing rapidly by using popularization of streaming services in wireless networks. To overcome this situation, it is considered that Access Points (APs) are deployed densely for capacity improvement. In such an environment, virtualization is a possible technique to use multiple APs efficiently...
Unfortunately, better throughputs are continuously requested mobile networks face spectral resource scarcity. Consequently, spectrum resource's use must be optimized for that operators have introduced frequency reuse mechanism. Unfortunately, this mechanism is limited by co-channel interference and adjacent channel interference. An Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) has been introduced...
The exponentially increasing demand for higher data rates has pushed the mobile network operators and researchers to scout for ways to improve the system bandwidth, most notably by using the unlicensed band which already hosts long-standing technologies like Wi-Fi. Of late, some effort has gone into exploring the performance of Licensed-Assisted Access (LAA) which can boost the bandwidth of LTE by...
Transportable nodes in a healthy and demanding network set-up of Mobile Adhoc Network (MANET) are self-governing with self-configurable potential due to high occurrence of topology alteration and changeable rescheduling of the network mechanism during data communication. Due to simplicity of set up, the energetic networking system in MANET is very victorious in conditions where it is complicated to...
In wireless ad hoc network the wireless sensor networks form a great part in the recent period. There are many challenging issues that have been faced in the wireless sensor networks. Data collection by improving the throughput performance forms a great issue. To increase the throughput performance over a dense area network with large number of sensor nodes energy consumption with pre-specified path...
The anticipated paper address the retard of congestion in WSN (wireless sensor network) by making use of a mobile sink to diminish congestion. In addition, in the used method data cruises a restricted amount of hops to land at the mobile sink (MS), that in turn helps in improving the energy utilization of the wireless nodes. Parameters for instance packet delay, packet loss as well as throughput are...
MANETs is collection of wireless network establishing a network in which nodes communicate with each other by network systems such as the Internet. MANETs routing protocols are characterized into two types, for example, table-driven and on-request or demand. In this network node performed as a function of routers which discovers and maintain the path to other node. In Adhoc network nodes are easily...
Mobile ad hoc Network (MANET) consists of autonomous mobile nodes without any centralized control. These mobile nodes move arbitrarily within the self-configurable MANET environment. Each of these mobile nodes can act as router while receiving and forwarding information. Secure routing is an important issue in MANET as mobile nodes are prone to attacks from malicious nodes and the overall performance...
