Over 90% of enterprises are investing in firewalls, anti-virus software and other protection mechanisms, yet over three-quarters of these same enterprises experience worm attacks, virus penetrations, root kit infections and the presence of spyware. Dealing with viruses, spyware and other malware reportedly costs businesses around the world billions of Euros per year in direct and indirect expenses. Our industry response thus far is a growing number of disparate security protocols and technologies which significantly increase the system maintenance costs while degrading performance.

Such networks are characterized by long and variable propagation delays, intermittent connectivity, limited bandwidth and low bit rates. Due to the wireless mode of communication between the sensor nodes, a medium access control (MAC) protocol is required to coordinate access to the shared channel and enable efficient data communication. However, conventional terrestrial wireless network protocols that are based on RF technologies cannot be used underwater. In this paper, we propose PLAN - a MAC Protocol for Long-latency Access Networks that is designed for use in half-duplex underwater acoustic sensor networks. We utilize CDMA as the underlying multiple access technique, due to its resilience to multi-path and Doppler's effects prevalent in underwater environments, coupled with an RTS-CTS handshaking procedure prior to the actual data transmission. Using simulations, we study the performance and efficiency of the proposed MAC protocol in underwater acoustic networks.","PeriodicalId":333233,"journal":{"name":"32nd IEEE Conference on Local Computer Networks (LCN 2007)","volume":"168 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126780508","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 proposed architecture uses two key techniques to lower table storage required drastically: (1) storing transformed prefix representations and (2) accommodating multiple prefixes per table entry via prefix aggregation. Given a set of chosen prefix lengths (called \"treads\"), all prefixes are rounded down to nearest treads before hashed to the table using their transformed representations so that prefix aggregation opportunities abound in hash entries. Significant table storage reduction makes it possible to fit a large routing table in on-chip SRAM, solving both the memory and bandwidth- intensive problems faced by IP routing. Simulation results on real routing tables show that the proposed architecture saves at least two folds of storage when compared with most known hash table- based design or trie-based design. In addition, our design enjoys fast lookups and incremental updates, with the worst-case lookup time upper-bounded theoretically by the number of treads (zeta) but found experimentally to be 4 memory accesses when zeta equals 8.","PeriodicalId":333233,"journal":{"name":"32nd IEEE Conference on Local Computer Networks (LCN 2007)","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116557339","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}

When a mobile node moves from an infrastructure connection and connects multihop to an Internet gateway, the performance will degrade and it may not be able to send all of its traffic via a single gateway. This highlights the need of load-balancing between Internet gateways, especially since the behavior of users today involves a multitude of parallel activities generating multiple flows. This paper proposes a solution that enables distribution of individual traffic flows via different Internet gateways instead of using one single gateway. The proposal includes extensions to mobile IP in order to handle flow mobility bindings. The performance of the solution is verified by simulation studies.","PeriodicalId":333233,"journal":{"name":"32nd IEEE Conference on Local Computer Networks (LCN 2007)","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123980729","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}

One of the key challenges under this paradigm is a management of transferring a huge amount of data. In this paper, we propose a model and protocol for session control exploiting controlled mobility in multi-robot sensor networks (MRSNs) to transfer the huge amount of data efficiently. Since a communication in MRSNs is mainly provided by a physical movement of the mobile node, the performance of the session heavily depends on this movement. However, if a node initiating the session can utilize sufficient amount of nodes, the performance of the session significantly depends on the wireless communication. In this paper, we propose a suitable method of session control which is determined the balance between movement and wireless communications based on local information such as the location, number, maximum-velocity and buffer-size of surrounding nodes. WISER/s also takes a system policy of either delay minimization or energy efficiency into consideration. In this paper, we describe a method of how to initiate, terminate and manage the session including dynamic selection of optimal nodes' formation. We evaluate the performance of WISER/s using mobile robots which are equipped with MICA2 mote and comparing with non-optimized method. The experimental results demonstrate that WISER/s achieves better performance than non-optimized method.","PeriodicalId":333233,"journal":{"name":"32nd IEEE Conference on Local Computer Networks (LCN 2007)","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127751769","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 continuing evolution of Ethernet has propelled it into the scope of metropolitan area networks. Even though Ethernet is fast and simple, the spanning tree in Ethernet is inefficient in terms of network utilization and load balancing. In this work, we compare the performance of spanning tree and link state algorithms in the context of layer 2 switching. In addition, we introduce a hybrid scheme that is customized for metro Ethernet networks. The results show that the hybrid scheme increases utilization and reduces the congestion ratio and delay. The performance gained as compared to RSTP, link state, and MSTP are 20.9%, 9.4%, and 11.4%, respectively. In addition, the hybrid scheme is more scalable than using pure link state.","PeriodicalId":333233,"journal":{"name":"32nd IEEE Conference on Local Computer Networks (LCN 2007)","volume":"93 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126223038","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}

However, transmitting packet over deep fading channel can render extra energy expenditure, due to the incorporation of more error protection or usage of lower modulation mode, which is unaffordable for energy-limited wireless sensor device. To avoid such inefficient energy usage, a simple approach is to temporally buffer the packet when the channel is in deep fading, until the channel quality recovers. Nevertheless, buffering packet can lead to communication performance degradations - communication latency and packet overflow, which should be taken into consideration in sensing applications with QoS requirements. In this paper, by using previously proposed discrete time queuing model, we analyze the effects of Rayleigh fading on the sensor communication system, and propose a cross-layer design on power aware communication of sensor device. Specifically, in such channel adaptive system, each sensor can judiciously accesses the medium according to the channel condition, traffic load, and buffer variation. Simulation and analytical results indicate that, such cross-layer design can lead to energy conservation by as much as 30-40 per cent.","PeriodicalId":333233,"journal":{"name":"32nd IEEE Conference on Local Computer Networks (LCN 2007)","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132673218","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 joint congestion and power control is formulated as an optimization problem which is then solved by distributed iterative algorithms for flow rate adaptation and power adaptation on every link. The transport layer controls the congestion using a hop-by-hop flow rate assignment. Power control algorithm allocates the right amount of power at the right nodes to alleviate the bandwidth bottlenecks by increasing capacity, while maintaining the signal to interference-and-noise ratio above a given threshold for every link.
