We evaluate the performance of the protocol for a stationary wireless sensor network. We use remote procedure calls to request a service once it is discovered, which allows for richer and parameterized interaction with the sensor.","PeriodicalId":410930,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE Globecom Workshops","volume":"81 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":"124075971","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, the connectivity properties of a linear vehicular ad hoc network (VANET) with high speed mobile nodes and dynamic node populations are investigated. The nodes are assumed to be arriving at the network following a Poisson distribution, and the speed of each node is modeled as a wide sense stationary ergodic random process. Based on these assumptions, a new mobility model is developed to represent the steady state node distributions in terms of random node locations and random node populations. The mobility model accurately captures the statistical properties of a mobile network with rapidly changing network topologies and network densities. Exact closed-form connectivity probability expressions are developed with the assistance of the volume of an n-dimensional hypercube intersected by an n-dimensional hyperplane. The impacts of key network parameters, such as node arrival rate, random node speed, and node transmission range, are incorporated in the analytical expressions. The results can be used to determine the transmission power that can ensure network connectivity while minimizing interference in a VANET.","PeriodicalId":410930,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE Globecom Workshops","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":"131118647","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}

Although user's behavior is very complex, only analyzing a large amount of operational network data enables us to effectively detect the users satisfaction from the network. One important parameter to detect user's behavior is user's interruption of the TCP connections in case of bad performance. In this paper we take passive network traffic measurements at the TCP flow level to monitor the effect of packet loss on Web traffic characteristics, such as TCP connection duration, size, and inter-arrival time of connections. From these traffic characteristics correlation with end user behavior (interruptions) is analyzed. Different trends are identified in the duration and size of connections with increasing loss rates. We explain and confirm the reasons for the different trends with different parameters. We discuss whether the end user behavior, such as interrupting connections, be identified from these traffic characteristics. We also want to know whether it provides us reasons for a connection being small or large, both in duration and size, due to user's behavior. A precise way of estimating packet losses for passive measurements is devised, giving a lower bound on the total packet losses in a TCP connection.","PeriodicalId":410930,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE Globecom Workshops","volume":"30 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":"115905162","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}

Despite the fact that communication on a wireless medium is inherently of broadcast nature, there exist situations, where data broadcasting is non-trivial. In particular, reservation-based medium access control (MAC) schemes such as employed in the optional mesh mode of the IEEE 802.16 standard are optimized with respect to maximizing the number of concurrent unicast transmissions. While broadcast control messages are supported in the standard, no mechanisms are specified to efficiently and reliably schedule broadcast data messages. We present an extension to the IEEE 802.16 standard, which enables a reliable, reservation-based broadcast method for usage within the mesh mode. We thoroughly analyze the performance of our mechanism vs. broadcast as unicast - currently the only feasible method to deliver broadcast data according to the standard. Our results indicate the superior performance of our scheme, i.e. a significant gain in broadcast efficiency as well as in broadcast reliability.","PeriodicalId":410930,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE Globecom Workshops","volume":"19 12 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":"115932484","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 challenges in satellite networks is the routing operation between two end nodes, because, these networks have dynamic changing satellite movements. During these movements, a satellite can give its coverage area service order to one of its neighboring satellites. Also some calls can be blocked when the call densities exceed the communication link's capacities or the signals interfere with each other. All of these situations make the routing operation quite complicated. In this study, we design a new routing algorithm for low-earth orbit (LEO) satellite systems. We use dynamic satellite topologies containing different number of nodes. We apply the genetic algorithms during the optimization steps. We introduce a new objective function including the delay and the aging factor as the characteristic properties of the paths. Finally, we compare the paths with each other and select the optimal path having the best fitness value.","PeriodicalId":410930,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE Globecom Workshops","volume":"41 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":"127329546","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}
