In this paper we address this requirement in the context of large-scale wireless infrastructures using real measurement data from the University of North Carolina (UNC) wireless campus network. Our modeling effort focuses on capturing the demand variation in both the spatial and temporal domain in a way that scales well with the size of the wireless network. The network traffic dynamics are studied over two different week-long monitoring periods at various levels of spatial aggregation, from individual buildings to the whole network. We model traffic workload in terms of wireless sessions and network flows and find several modeling elements that are reusable in both temporal and spatial dimensions. The same set of parametric distributions for the session-and flow-related traffic variables capture the network traffic demand in both monitoring periods. Even more interestingly, these same distributions can characterize traffic dynamics at finer spatial scales, such as a single building or a group of buildings. We use our models to generate synthetic traffic and compare with trace data. The comparison clearly illustrates the trade-off between model scalability and reusability, on the one hand, and accuracy in capturing local-scale traffic dynamics on the other. Our main contribution is a novel behavioral approach for traffic demand modeling in large wireless networks that features high flexibility in the exploitation of the spatial and temporal resolution available in data traces.","PeriodicalId":347028,"journal":{"name":"2007 15th IEEE Workshop on Local & Metropolitan Area Networks","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129320234","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 consider the scenario where the cognitive radio network is formed by secondary users with low power personal/portable devices and when both systems are operating simultaneously. A power control problem is formulated for the cognitive radio network to maximize the energy efficiency of the secondary users and guarantee the QoS of both the primary users and the secondary users. The feasibility condition of the problem is derived and both centralized and distributed solutions are provided. Because the co-channel interference are from heterogeneous systems, a joint power control and admission control procedure is suggested such that the priority of the primary users is always ensured.

Here, the controlled object is a logical connection that carries the application-level data flows over the service provider's data transport infrastructure. The goal is to allocate just-enough bandwidth, in order to maximize the service-provider revenues. Accurate control of bandwidth allocations with a revenue-oriented goal is quite complex, due to the interactions among various data flows that dynamically share the network capacity in the system. So, we employ an on-line monitor-and-control scheme, aided by heuristics, that iteratively adjusts the bandwidth allocation based on the observed packet loss rate. The bandwidth allocation is increased when the observed packet loss rate exceeds a user-specified threshold, with the increase being proportional to the loss rate (i.e., multiplicative increase). The bandwidth is decreased additively when the loss rate falls below a safe limit. We describe this MIAD-based bandwidth allocation scheme, and study its dynamics. When the LAN-MAN environments provide bandwidth capacities in a stable manner, our MIAD scheme can achieve an optimal bandwidth allocation (in the sense of user-level QoS and service-provider revenues).","PeriodicalId":347028,"journal":{"name":"2007 15th IEEE Workshop on Local & Metropolitan Area Networks","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116599322","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 interference experienced by a link coexisting with other links in a shared wireless medium is responsive to the actions of the transmitter on the link. Consequently, the evolution of seemingly independent queues at autonomously acting transmitters is tightly entangled through the shared wireless channel. Thus, an exact analysis of the distributed power control problem which also incorporates queuing dynamics is intractable. To establish a performance benchmark, we first design the optimal centralized backlog aware power control algorithm (Oracle) in a dynamic programming (DP) framework. We then propose a heuristic backlog aware distributed power control algorithm (BDD). The implementation of BDD is based on randomized selection from lookup tables which are computed offline at each transmitter. The computational complexity and memory requirements for BDD are independent of the network size and topology, making it attractive from a practical perspective. Experimental results demonstrate that BDD closely matches Oracle in performance and enhances system throughput by 20-30% compared to benchmark backlog insensitive power control algorithms (e.g. Foschini-Miljanic).","PeriodicalId":347028,"journal":{"name":"2007 15th IEEE Workshop on Local & Metropolitan Area Networks","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128892635","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}
