Unlike other approaches, the proposed model accounts for the contention-based nature of 802.11's MAC layer operation and considers the case where stations can have different weights corresponding to different throughput classes. Our test-bed evaluation considers both the long-term throughput achieved by wireless stations and the short-term fairness. When all stations have the same transmission rate, optimality is achieved when a station's throughput is proportional to its weight factor, and the optimal minimum contention windows also maximize the aggregate throughput. When stations have different transmission rates, the optimal minimum contention window for high rate stations is smaller than for low rate stations. Furthermore, we compare proportional fairness with time-based fairness, which can be achieved by adjusting packet sizes so that low and high rate stations have equal successful transmission times, or by adjusting the transmission opportunity (TXOP)limit so that high rate stations transmit multiple back-to-back packets and thus occupy the channel for the same time as low rate stations that transmit a single packet. The test-bed experiments show that when stations have different transmission rates and the same weight, proportional fairness achieves higher performance than the time-based fairness approaches, in terms of both aggregate utility and throughput.","PeriodicalId":439944,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 1st international workshop on Wireless network testbeds, experimental evaluation & characterization","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121300113","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}

A testbed for cognitive radio needs to deal with these components to verify low-level configuration protocols and functions on cognitive-radio devices, and to evaluate high-level network protocols and throughputs including new MACs designed for cognitive radio using various applications running on large numbers of nodes. We propose a testbed for an adaptive wireless network under which terminals communicate using both real cognitive-radio devices and those virtually configured. All the stacks from the MAC to the application layer are programmable conforming to the common interface for the MIRAI Cognitive Radio Execution Framework (MIRAI-CREF). The configuration for the physical layer is selected from either a real device or a software-defined pseudo device, which together provide real physical-layer phenomena dependent on device implementations and scalability in the number of nodes. The testbed works with the two physical-layer configurations mixed at the same time. The testbed is flexible enough to configure cognitive-radio device functions and protocols. It is also intended to be used not only by local users but also remote users via the Internet to evaluate protocols and various cognitive features.","PeriodicalId":439944,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 1st international workshop on Wireless network testbeds, experimental evaluation & characterization","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130414815","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}

As part of this work, BBN has developed and refined an integrated approach to the development of Space-based Radio Protocols. This approach consists of high level quasi-analytic modeling using Mathematica, the use of \"Active\" Mathematica-based protocol specifications that document and simulate protocols, and the use of Software Defined Radio techniques for software proto-typing, Radio Frequency link emulation and testbed implementation.

While one-hop access points were a suitable solution in the beginning, they suffered from problems such as low coverage area and over-load. One promising solution is the use of wireless mesh networks (WMNs). This allows wireless access points to be placed in a very flexible fashion, so that they can extend wireless coverage into places that do not have easily accessible wired infrastructure. There are existing projects that examine some methods for deploying mesh access networks. For example, the MIT Roofnet project [1] has created a system that can easily add new access points at random, and incorporate them into a large scale mesh. However, we are more interested in a planned mesh network. In such a network, concepts like quality of service will be important, so a robust admission control scheme is necessary. This poster will present a foundational centralized routemanagement system for WMNs. Our scheme is based on the Wireless Distribution System (WDS). Our work has been an extension of the existing implementation of WDS in the MADWiFi driver for Atheros wireless LAN chipsets. We are interested in provisioning quality of service guarantees for planned WMNs being used as access networks, as well as providing fault tolerance. Very few admission control schemes have been proposed so far for WMNs, and most apply to the case of unplanned WMNs, using routing protocols developed for ad hoc networks. Planned WMNs are witnessing an increasing number of deployments across enterprises, universities and cities.
