During the past few years, many routing protocols have been proposed for this particular network environment. While in wired and optical networks, multi-protocol label switching (MPLS) has clearly shown its advantages in routing and switching such as flexibility, high efficiency, scalability, and low cost. But MPLS is complex and does not consider the mobility issue for wireless networks, especially for ad hoc networks. This paper migrates the label concept into the ad hoc network and provide a framework for the efficient label routing protocol (LRP) in such a network. The MAC layer is also optimized with LRP for shorter delay, power saving, and higher efficiency. With this cross-layer routing protocol, network performance such as throughput, delay, and QoS assignment can be improved significantly","PeriodicalId":268267,"journal":{"name":"IEEE International Conference on Mobile Adhoc and Sensor Systems Conference, 2005.","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128139302","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}

Wireless LANs plays critical role in providing anywhere and anytime connectivity for many sensor enabled emergency applications. This paper addresses the issue of provisioning QoS over the wireless channel between the sensor enabled emergency application and the wireless access points (e.g., wireless hotspots in various locations). Unlike traditional QoS provisioning which supports voice and data applications, resulted by the extremely rare events which lack the predictability, it is not trivial to provide adequate QoS support for the emergency data traffic with strong erratic nature. In this paper, we first investigated several potential alternative schemes to support QoS in emergency applications. An express dual channel (EDC) based QoS provisioning approach is then proposed. The proposed mechanism is not only simple and efficient, but also results in the minimum delay for the erratic emergency data traffic. Simulation results show the proposed EDC based solution provides satisfactory QoS for emergency applications","PeriodicalId":268267,"journal":{"name":"IEEE International Conference on Mobile Adhoc and Sensor Systems Conference, 2005.","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123756719","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}

In this paper we introduce reliability requirement for distributed target-monitoring protocols and prove that previously considered protocols are reliable. A new deterministic energy-efficient protocol for sensor networks (DEEPS) aimed at prolonging lifetime is proposed.

Thus, resource-efficient data dissemination between source sensors and a sink becomes a challenging task, particularly if the sink is moving in a wireless sensor field. This paper proposes an energy-aware protocol, called weighted entropy data dissemination (WEDAS) for disseminating data to the mobile sink in WSNs using an information theoretic approach. The proposed protocol attempts to quantify the uncertainty of position of a mobile sink and the remaining energy uncertainty of static sensors in order to select the most appropriate ones that will act as data disseminators between static sources and the mobile sink. The WEDAS protocol favors sensor nodes whose weighted entropy with respect to their location and remaining energy is the minimum to participate in building dissemination paths between sources and the mobile sink. Specifically, we introduce the concepts of relative mobility zone of a sink, which includes its most probable future positions, and coordinator node set, which restricts the search space of candidate data disseminators, to conduct the selection process. The analytic results show that the selection of sensors with minimum weighted entropy as data disseminators depends on not only their remaining energy but also their relative positions with respect to the mobile sink, which meets our goals of extending the lifetime of WSNs by minimizing and balancing energy utilization of sensor nodes","PeriodicalId":268267,"journal":{"name":"IEEE International Conference on Mobile Adhoc and Sensor Systems Conference, 2005.","volume":"97 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133773466","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}

Our ray-sector model constructs signal maps by adding signal bias with sectors defined by rings and randomized rays, using a traditional log-linear decay model as a baseline. We show our model generates distortions similar to measured radio maps by quantitatively comparing the behavior of micro-benchmarks using maps from two buildings and those generated by our model.

Simulation results show that WCBQ protects flows with low throughput. All flows receive a bandwidth proportionally to their weights. WCBQ tends to minimize the variations of the average bandwidth granted to a flow as well as the end-to-end delay.

The intra-node packet scheduling is a multiple queuing architecture with packet classification and weighted arbitration. We also introduce the power conservation MACAW (PC-MACAW) - a power-aware scheduling mechanism that, together with the loosely prioritized random access (LPRA) algorithm, govern the inter-node scheduling. Performance evaluation are conducted between Q-MAC and S-MAC with respect to two performance metrics: energy consumption and average latency. Simulation results indicate that the performance of the Q-MAC is comparable to that of the S-MAC in non-prioritized traffic scenarios; when packets with different priorities are present, Q-MAC supiors in average latency differentiation between the classes of service, while maintaining the same energy level as that of S-MAC","PeriodicalId":268267,"journal":{"name":"IEEE International Conference on Mobile Adhoc and Sensor Systems Conference, 2005.","volume":"135 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124736443","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}
