Nevertheless, malicious APs may strategically alter their behavior for concealing malicious behavior and prompting their reputation. Therefore, it is important to evaluate APs' trustworthiness. In this paper, we propose a trusted model based on an autonomic load management algorithm (ALMA) that ensure the accommodation of more user traffic and an overall network capacity improvement, by evaluating and detecting the malicious APs. Initially each APs is assigned a trust level. Using these trust levels as a guide, the source AP can then select a neighbor AP that meets the security requirements. Simulations, using VoIP traffic, show that, the performance gain in term of call blocking rate is improved by using the trust-based approach.","PeriodicalId":247938,"journal":{"name":"2008 1st IFIP Wireless Days","volume":"98 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115805031","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 appliances shared with PLC modems in the same powerline network generate noises, among them the impulsive ones which are the main source of interference which causes signal distortions leading to bit errors while data transmission. Many models were proposed in the literature. They shared the same impulsive noise definition: \"unpredictable noises measured in the receiver side\". Authors are, consequently, confronted to model thousands of impulsive noises whose plurality would very likely come from the diversity of paths that the original impulsive noise took. In this paper, an innovative modelisation approach is applied to impulsive noises which are henceforth studied directly at their sources outputs. Noise at receiver would be simply the noise model at source filtered by powerline channel block.","PeriodicalId":247938,"journal":{"name":"2008 1st IFIP Wireless Days","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129142377","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}

By multirate we refer to those networks where wireless nodes are able to dynamically switch among several link rates. We show that, using periodic refreshment of ongoing QoS reservations, our scheme is adaptive to network topology changes due to node mobility.","PeriodicalId":247938,"journal":{"name":"2008 1st IFIP Wireless Days","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130179778","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 is interesting for us due to transmitting less required training bits than a training-based algorithm and hence lower redundancy. Therefore we will achieve more bandwidth efficiency with better performance. Training-based method needs 100 times more additional bits than semi-blind method whereas semi-blind method needs only 25% more computational time to convergence.","PeriodicalId":247938,"journal":{"name":"2008 1st IFIP Wireless Days","volume":"200 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123557915","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}

For the class of reactive protocols we introduce new message types for the dynamic MANET on demand routing (DYMO) protocol which discovers service and corresponding route in one message.

Such hybrid networks benefit the extension of infrastructure network coverage using Ad Hoc connectivity apart from offering the ad hoc nodes access to the resources of the Wired/Infrastructure networks. In most of the integration strategies Mobile IP is integrated with the Ad Hoc network routing protocol to provide Internet access. In few of the strategies the routing protocol has been enhanced to provide the connectivity without using Mobile IP. In this paper, an extended DSDV protocol, named as Efficient DSDV (Eff-DSDV) protocol has been used to provide full duplex connectivity between exclusive ad hoc hosts and the hosts on the wired network. The strategy does not take into account the visiting mobile nodes of the infrastructure network, to join the ad hoc network and access the wired network resources. The proposed framework uses one of the ad hoc hosts known as Mobile Gateway Node (MGN) to act as a bridge between ad hoc network and the wired network. The performance comparison is made between the proposed approach and the other existing strategies based on packet delivery ratio, end-end delay, control overhead. The experimental results indicate that the performance of the proposed strategy is better than the existing strategies.","PeriodicalId":247938,"journal":{"name":"2008 1st IFIP Wireless Days","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130412754","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}

As an extension of next generation networks, Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) have attracted significant attention amongst researchers. Nodes in a MANET have limited battery power. Hence, ad hoc routing protocols ought to be energy conservative to support real-time multimedia services. In this paper, we propose a proactive routing protocol which gives better performance and satisfies the basic power aware parameters like minimum energy consumption per packet, maximum network lifetime, and minimum variance in the node power levels. We use breadth first search to gather the network topology.. From this global information, a least cost path is generated using Dijkstra's shortest path algorithm. This least cost path has better battery resources and is refreshed after some fixed intervals of data packet delivery to keep the variance in residual battery power to minimum. Our simulation results show that the proposed protocol provides good service to different types of media while conserving energy.","PeriodicalId":247938,"journal":{"name":"2008 1st IFIP Wireless Days","volume":"328 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131581447","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}
