采用动态令牌的MANET多址接入协议

本文设计了一种采用动态令牌算法的MANET多址接入协议,解决了隐藏终端和入侵终端问题.利用这种算法,不再需要为令牌的传递预先建立虚拟的令牌逻辑环路,而是根据当前的网络拓扑结构自动地形成令牌的传递路由,使得令牌的传递能够适应网络拓扑结构动态的动态变化.同时,通过周期性地产生令牌并严格地限制每个令牌的生存时间,简化了令牌的维护过程,并为时延敏感的业务提供良好的QoS保障.另外,该协议采用一种互同步技术,具有成本低廉、运行可靠的特点,可完全独立于其它系统(如GPS等),且已应用于实际的MANET网络.

Design and implementation of an RSVP-based quality of servicearchitecture for an integrated services Internet

The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) is currently in the process of overhauling the architecture of the Internet to meet new challenges and support new applications. One of the most important components of that venture is the enhancement of the Internet service model from a classless best effort service architecture to an integrated services architecture supporting a multitude of classes and types of services. This paper presents the design, implementation, and experiences with a protocol architecture for the integrated services Internet. It is based on the emerging standards for resource reservation in the Internet, namely, the RSVP protocol and the associated service specifications defined by the IETF. Our architecture represents a major functional enhancement to the traditional TCP/IP protocol stack. It is scalable in terms of performance and number of network sessions, and supports a wide variety of network interfaces ranging from legacy LAN interfaces, such as Token Ring and Ethernet, to high-speed ATM interfaces. The paper also describes the implementation of this architecture on the IBM AIX platform and our experiences with the system. We then present a performance analysis of the system which quantifies the overheads imposed by all components of the QoS support, such as traffic policing, traffic shaping, and buffer management

I2TS 03 Dynamic Metric Choice Routing for Wireless Mesh Networks

The increasing demand of multimedia applications requires a new conduct of routing protocols for Wireless Mesh Networks (WMN). It is necessary to support the minimum requirements for Quality of Service (QoS). In this work we propose an extension to the proactive Optimized Link State Routing (OLSR) protocol that differentiates the data traffic and multimedia traffic, in order to provide quality of service and support to applications which use TCP as their transport protocol. The proposal performance, called OLSR Dynamic Choice (OLSR-DC), is evaluated using the Network Simulator     

A Cross-Layer Channel Access and Routing Protocol for Medical-Grade QoS Support in Wireless Sensor Networks

One of principal design issues of a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) for medical information systems is to classify received packets based on their priorities and guarantees so that they can be transmitted reliably, thus satisfying QoS requirements. In addition, when the target WSN requires multi-hop communications and the traffic load increases significantly, it is challenging to support both load balancing and suitable QoS at the same time. In this paper, we propose a new reliable protocol termed Cross-layer Channel Access and Routing (CCAR), which simultaneously supports both MAC and routing operations for medical-grade QoS provisions. CCAR initially determines the routing path with the lowest traffic load and low latency using newly defined channel quality factors. Concurrently, the source node allocates the predefined QoS Access Category to each packet and reserves the channel along the route. In addition, CCAR introduces an effective route maintenance scheme to avoid link failures in bottlenecked intermediate nodes, which prevents unnecessary packet drops and route rediscovery evocations. Finally, through both simulation studies and real test-bed experiments, we evaluate the performance of CCAR by comparing it with other conventional protocols, demonstrating that the proposed protocol can more efficiently support medical-grade QoS packets, especially when the network is heavily loaded.

QoS routing for wireless ad hoc networks: problems, algorithms, and protocols

QoS routing plays an important role for providing QoS in wireless ad hoc networks. The goals of QoS routing are in general twofold: selecting routes with satisfied QoS requirement(s), and achieving global efficiency in resource utilization. In this article we first discuss some key design considerations in providing QoS routing support, and present a review of previous work addressing the issue of route selection subject to QoS constraint(s). We then devise an on-demand delay-constrained unicast routing protocol. Various strategies are employed in the protocol to reduce the communication overhead in acquiring cost-effective delay-constrained routes. Simulation results are used to verify our expectation of the high performance of the devised protocol. Finally, we discuss some possible future directions for providing efficient QoS routing support in wireless ad hoc networks.
