We concentrate on group mobility because road vehicles tend to form groups or fleets whose behavior depends on the behavior of the close-by vehicles. We propose four different group mobility models and present a mobility pattern generator, called grcmob that we designed to be used with the ns-2 simulator. We evaluate the performance of vehicular ad hoc networks under a wide number of scenarios using both TCP and UDP data traffic. We show that the number of groups is more important than the number of nodes and that the impact of area size is almost negligible. We also reveal that the mixture of inter- and intra-group communications has the strongest impact on performance. Finally, we show that the presence of groups forces the network topology to be more sparse and therefore the probability of network partitions and node disconnections grows, affecting performance especially as inter-group traffic increases","PeriodicalId":403213,"journal":{"name":"2007 2nd International Symposium on Wireless Pervasive Computing","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125516688","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 emerging cooperative routing (CR) methodology, however, can obtain distinct performance gain by selecting extra relay to forward data. This study presents a novel distributed weighted cooperative routing algorithm (DWCRA) which selects the \"best\" relay with the optimal weighted metric for cooperative transmission in a distributed manner. The weighted metric of relay selection strategy comprises of remaining energy of relays and channel state information (CSI) of each source-relay-sink pair. The simulation is implemented on NS-2 platform and results show that, compared to non-cooperative DSDV routing protocol, DWRCA achieves a delivery-lifetime tradeoff between maximal remaining energy algorithm (MREA) and optimal channel state algorithm (OCSA).

In addition to cross-correlation requirements, MC-CDMA systems have to deal with the issue of high peak to average power ratio (or crest factor). In this work, we map the crest factor requirement to the mean-square aperiodic auto-correlation measure of the spreading codes. Using the proposed trellis approach, we design spreading codes with desired aperiodic auto-correlation, while offering the best possible aperiodic cross-correlation properties. Additionally, we improve the diversity gain by improving the error weight distribution. We demonstrate that this is achieved by increasing the number of allowable phases in the spreading code.

We present a distributed adaptive localization method that we refer to as: map-based adaptive positioning (MAP). The main idea is to construct a relative local map at every node in the network, consisting of the node itself and its immediate neighbors, and merge the local maps together to form a global map. We consider two algorithms that can be used to estimate the relative local maps: multidimensional scaling (MDS) and semidefinite programming (SDP). The performance of these algorithms depend on two parameters: size of a local map, i.e., number of nodes, and the average connectivity of the node at the center of the local map and its 1-hop neighbors. We use machine learning to adaptively select the appropriate algorithm to estimate the relative local maps. Simulation results show that MAP outperforms both MDS and SDP, with better improvement for networks with less uniform node deployment.","PeriodicalId":403213,"journal":{"name":"2007 2nd International Symposium on Wireless Pervasive Computing","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134444188","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 progressive combining gain can be obtained by the number of retransmissions in HARQ schemes, as the target packet error rate can vary with each retransmission. In other words, higher bandwidth efficiency can be achieved by selecting a more aggressive modulation and coding rate set (MCS) at the expense of packet error rate of earlier transmissions, which can be compensated by the progressive retransmission gain in HARQ. Based on extensive simulation for predicting the combining gain in each retransmission, it has been demonstrated that bandwidth efficiency can be improved as much as 5.8dB and 3.3dB, compared with the conservative AMC design approach with truncated HARQ and aggressive AMC design approach with truncated ARQ, respectively","PeriodicalId":403213,"journal":{"name":"2007 2nd International Symposium on Wireless Pervasive Computing","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125225783","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 first area addressed in most information model examples is often QoS in order to partition the underlying link and physical layer capabilities among the requesting higher layer services. A deployed system must manage these partitions in real time and must adjust parameters in every layer in coordination with local, regional and even global management functions. This mandates a policy-based management approach which, in turn, dictates the construction of an information model that addresses all of these parameters. This paper defines several new areas of information model parameters beyond QoS that are not typically discussed in the current policy based network management (PBNM) information model literature. We then construct an integrated information model over the several policy decision point (PDP) domains and develop some example policies that illustrate the interaction of the policy domains in a representative mobile ad-hoc network. Finally we calculate the bottleneck bandwidth for coordinated and uncoordinated policy management and estimate the operations/management savings and utilization gains possible with an information model-based implementation","PeriodicalId":403213,"journal":{"name":"2007 2nd International Symposium on Wireless Pervasive Computing","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127397039","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 standard was primarily designed to support best-effort traffic. Moreover, due to the contention-based approach, the bandwidth utilization is inherently inefficient. Therefore, the number of voice over IP (VoIP) calls which can be supported is severely limited. For example, the G.711 speech codec supports only 8 calls in an 802.11b network. We present a new method to increase VoIP capacity in Wi-Fi networks. This methodology requires no change to the existing DCF. It relies on contention-free channel access to improve the efficiency of bandwidth utilization without requiring the support of standard-based point co-ordination function (PCF). The access point (AP) uses packet aggregation in the downlink and scheduling in the uplink to enhance the throughput. Through mathematical analysis, we find that the proposed mechanism results in about 300% improvement over the baseline model.
