Abstract

Millimeter wave (mmwave) communications will likely be an enabler for 5G due to its multi-gigabit per second throughput capabilities. Furthermore,mmWave communications will have to be integrated in a new redesigned network required by 5G to fulfill its ambitious targets. In this paper, we present the design and implementation of a management agent for wireless devices deployed in a heterogeneous SDN wireless multi-hop research platform featuring mmwave communications for crosshauling (backhaul and fronthaul) purposes. The performance of the deployed mmwave network, based on the IEEE 802.11ad standard, is measured employing this agent. We measure the downtime in the presence of link up/down events, with obtained response times in the order of 10s-to-100s of milliseconds depending on the case. Furthermore, the TCP performance over the multi-hop 802.11ad mmwave network is also experimentally evaluated. In fact, TCP throughput up to around 800Mbps are obtained for single and multi-hop scenarios despite neighboring links using the same channel. Finally, one can also observe the impact of MTU size on TCP throughput, which may hinder the full exploitation of the mmWave link capacity when combined with other transport technologies, since the advantages of big MTUs (much bigger than the typical 1500 bytes) offered by mmwave devices may not be reaped.
SDN毫米波多跳网络无线接口代理:设计与实验评估
毫米波(mmwave)通信由于其每秒千兆比特的吞吐量能力,可能会成为5G的推动者。此外,毫米波通信必须集成到5G所需的重新设计的网络中,以实现其雄心勃勃的目标。在本文中,我们提出了一个管理代理的设计和实现,用于部署在异构SDN无线多跳研究平台上的无线设备,该平台具有毫米波通信交叉路由(回程和前传)目的。采用该代理对基于IEEE 802.11ad标准部署的毫米波网络的性能进行了测量。我们测量存在链接up/down事件的停机时间,根据具体情况,获得的响应时间在10到100毫秒之间。此外,还对多跳802.11ad毫米波网络下的TCP性能进行了实验评估。事实上,在单跳和多跳场景下,尽管相邻链路使用相同的通道,TCP吞吐量仍可达到800Mbps左右。最后,人们还可以观察到MTU大小对TCP吞吐量的影响,当与其他传输技术结合使用时,这可能会阻碍毫米波链路容量的充分利用,因为毫米波设备提供的大MTU(比典型的1500字节大得多)的优势可能无法获得。
