In this paper, we therefore propose a new design of multi-rate multicast congestion control (MR-MCC) by revising our previous proposed MR-MCC protocol, namely explicit rate adjustment (ERA). In the new design, a multicast-supportive TCP-friendliness bandwidth allocation is used at intermediate nodes (routers) to motivate multicast deployment by giving more bandwidth to ERA without starving TCP. At the end node, an explicit reception rate adjustment algorithm is used. The receiver adjusts its reception rates according to the network conditions using packet-pair probe (PP). The implementation of our new ERA is done on the network simulator 2 (ns2). We demonstrate via simulations that the new ERA could provide responsiveness, fairness and the motivation for multicast deployment.","PeriodicalId":131548,"journal":{"name":"2007 15th IEEE International Conference on Networks","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133153147","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There are currently two variants of SpeckMAC: SpeckMAC-B uses wakeup frames as the mechanism for signalling, whereas SpeckMAC-D retransmits data packets. This paper presents a novel hybrid protocol, SpeckMAC-H, which adopts an adaptive approach to improving energy efficiency by selecting the wakeup signalling mechanism depending on the type of packet to be transmitted. The performance of such an approach is evaluated on the Qualnet simulator. The data for the simulation models were derived from experiments on the ProSpeckz hardware prototype. The simulation results for Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) and Ad-hoc On-Demand Vector Routing (AODV) routing algorithms has demonstrated that SpeckMAC-H does indeed achieve higher energy-efficiency than either SpeckMAC-B and SpeckMAC-D in a majority of the simulated scenarios.","PeriodicalId":131548,"journal":{"name":"2007 15th IEEE International Conference on Networks","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132067522","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since the emergence of generalized OOC s, they have been analyzed in optical fiber media, in which noise can be ignored with good approximation. But in an optical wireless system which inherently suffers from intense noise sources, generalized OOC behaves differently. The main issues of an optical wireless system are intense noise sources which degrades system performance and limited available bandwidth which is caused by multipath distortion in the channel. We believe that these analyses will help the designer of an optical wireless system, to select the best code family which satisfies the desired condition on bit error rate (BER) or required bandwidth.","PeriodicalId":131548,"journal":{"name":"2007 15th IEEE International Conference on Networks","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124195530","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This framework can be used to compute interference, capacity, delay and energy consumption. The novelty of our work is that we address, to the best of our knowledge for the first time, all major factors that collectively affect each performance metric. Consequently, our framework can be considered as accurate and reliable. Our approach provides valuable new insights into capabilities and limitations of multi-hop point-to-point networks; and helps to mitigate some misconceptions regrading the performance of these network types. For example, we demonstrate clearly that optimizing network topologies to reduce interference does not necessarily produce the best Carrier-to-interference ratio (C/I) or the highest capacity. Also, optimum C/I is no guarantee for maximum throughput. Further we show that low energy consumption and high capacity are not incompatible properties. Our framework can be used to design ad-hoc and sensor networks with a balanced combination of performance characteristics for different application types.","PeriodicalId":131548,"journal":{"name":"2007 15th IEEE International Conference on Networks","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115573506","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It employs a scheme of analyzing similarities in graphs to cluster processes and select processors. Based on a phase for pre-analyzing the underlying network topology, it takes the information on the underlying network topology into account to select processors during the process-partitioning procedure. During the refinement phase to add certain capabilities for jumping out of the local optima and satisfying the requirements for steady performance, we used a two-stage Kernighan-Lin (KL)-like approach in our current study without introducing any randomness. Experiments were done to assess the performance of this algorithm, and compare it to the popular KL-like algorithm with a sequential-mapping approach and a greedy-based approach to search for the initial solution. The new proposal is capable of finding better solutions than these other two approaches in most cases.","PeriodicalId":131548,"journal":{"name":"2007 15th IEEE International Conference on Networks","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125115145","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, the transmission capacity at the physical layer depends on multiple factors such as the network topology, the access policy, and the transmission configuration. When multiple input multiple output (MIMO) technology is used at the physical layer of each node, the nodes that are geographically in the same transmission range, can transmit simultaneously. The different transmissions can be separated spatially using one of the decoding MIMO methods. In this paper, we investigate the per-node capacity in a WMN using MIMO links. We introduce the problem of the transmission configuration in WMNs, defined as the number of transmit antennas used at each node, and its effect on the network capacity. The goal of this study is to provide ideas for network architects about how to dimension wireless mesh networks in order to have an optimal capacity with minimal equipment requirements.","PeriodicalId":131548,"journal":{"name":"2007 15th IEEE International Conference on Networks","volume":"67 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134233913","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The peering of Content Delivery Networks (CDN) would increase the efficiency of commercial CDNs. But still the high rental rates resulting from huge infrastructure cost make it inaccessible to medium and low profile clients . Academic models of peer-to-peer CDNs aim to reduce the financial cost of content distribution by forming volunteer group of servers around the globe. But their efficiency is at the mercy of the volunteer peers whose commitment is not ensured in their design. We propose a new architecture that will make use of the existing resources of common Internet users in terms of storage space, bandwidth and Internet connectivity to create a Distributed Content Delivery Network (DCDN). The profit pool generated by the infrastructure savings will be shared among the participating nodes (DCDN surrogates) which will function as an incentive for them to support DCDN. Since the system uses the limited computing resources of common internet users, we also propose a suitable load balancing (LB) algorithm so that DCDN surrogates are not burdened with heavy load and requests are fairly assigned to them. Simulations have been carried out and the results show that the proposed architecture (with LB) can offer same or even better performance as that of commercial CDN.","PeriodicalId":131548,"journal":{"name":"2007 15th IEEE International Conference on Networks","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132822708","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Different terrestrial and satellite access networks are needed to ensure ubiquitous internet connectivity across all possible locations of mobile terminals. To support uninterrupted communications for mobile terminals in a heterogeneous wireless access environment, the IEEE 802.21 Media Independent Handover framework has been defined. This framework, however, does not include support for satellite networks, one of the key technologies in providing wireless data connectivity where wireless access infrastructure is not available (e.g. sparsely populated remote areas, see and air travel). In this work, we define and propose a reference model that allows link layer information from satellite interfaces to be presented to upper layers much like link layer information from other terrestrial interfaces supported by IEEE 802.21. Our proposal facilitates efficient Media Independent Handovers in heterogeneous access environments involving satellite networks.
