Wireless Convergence Architecture: A Case Study Using GSM and Wireless LAN

The evolution of wireless networks has motivated the expansion of the static business environment to a mobile and wireless one. However, current and forthcoming wireless technologies are characterized by different attributes, regarding coverage area, offered bandwidth and delay. The transparent conjunction of various wireless technologies into a single mobile terminal can further boost the wireless explosion. This paper presents the Wireless Convergence Architecture (WCA) that incorporates different wireless interfaces under the same mobile terminal. Depending on the location and the availability of the underlying wireless network, automatic and seamless switching is performed to the most appropriate wireless network interface. Special care is taken to maintain continuous connectivity at the transport layer (TCP). WCA introduces software components both at the terminal and network side. A specific implementation is presented, based on two complementary wireless technologies – in terms of coverage area – an IEEE 802.11-compliant in the short local and a GSM in the wide area. To demonstrate the operational correctness of the architecture, experiments were performed using standard and proprietary networking applications.

Advocating a Remote Socket Architecture for Internet Access Using Wireless LANs

One challenge in the development of telecommunication networks is the seamless integration of wireless devices into the global Internet. Although it is well known that the Internet protocols were designed for heterogeneous networks an end-system with the usual Internet protocol stack will suffer an inefficient communication while connected via a wireless link. The protocol mechanisms of the transport layer can lead to poor performance in case of TCP and a high loss rate in case of UDP. In this paper we advocate a Remote Socket Architecture (ReSoA) which is a kind of proxy-oriented architecture for wireless Internet access in Wireless LAN environment. This approach allows the use of a thin protocol stack on the wireless end-system to save scarce resources and a tailored protocol for the wireless link without breaking the original TCP semantics. We show the suitability of ReSoA by comparing its performance with that of pure TCP and Berkeley Snoop through actual measurements in a test environment.

Performance of an OFDM Based Downlink Multiple Access System for Indoor Wireless Communications

We have analyzed the downlink performance of a multiuser Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing based multiple access system for indoor wireless communications. The optimization problem for minimizing the total transmit power from a base station while satisfying the bit-rate and bit-error rate criterion of the various portable users in the system has been outlined. The analytical solution obtained cannot be realized in a simple manner and we present a realizable method for the combined allocation of subcarriers, modulation mode, and power to the signals transmitted to the different users. Simulation results are used to compare the performance of the analytical solution with that using the new method under various channel conditions. Performance comparisons between the new method and an OFDM-TDMA system clearly indicate the advantages of the new algorithm under most conditions. The correlation of the frequency-domain channel strengths among the various users is shown to have an influence on the performance of the new algorithm.

A High Capacity Multihop Packet CDMA Wireless Network

Wireless multihop networks overlaid with cellular structure have the potential to support high data rate Internet traffic. In this paper, we consider techniques by which the system capacity of such networks can be increased. First, methods for increasing link capacity in single-user systems are explored. Subsequently, we consider a different set of techniques suitable for multiuser systems. We also investigate the effect of traffic dynamics on system capacity and ways to achieve the maximum throughput. Finally, we present capacity bounds which illustrate how these techniques help in trading off the conserved power for capacity advantage.

Using group mobility and multihomed mobile gateways to connect mobile ad hoc networks to the global IP Internet

Connecting multihop mobile ad hoc wireless networks (MANETs) to the Internet would enable MANET nodes to share wireless Internet access with mobile hosts that are one‐hop away from their foreign networks. The integration of MANETs and the global Internet, however, faces an obstacle due to their network architectural mismatches regarding their infrastructure, topology, and mobility management mechanisms. Solutions to the integration problem should introduce an intermediate facility with hybrid mechanism, enabling it to connect to both networks. The quality of the multihop wireless Internet access service provided to MANET nodes depends on the design quality of this facility in order for MANET nodes to enjoy their Internet connectivity anywhere and anytime without much disconnections. In this paper, we propose hierarchical architecture that uses group mobility and multihomed mobile gateways, and present and analyse different simulations results. A multihomed mobile gateway can simultaneously connect to multiple Mobile IP foreign agents, provided it is located within their overlapping coverage area. It runs updated versions of the destination‐sequenced distance vector (DSDV) and Mobile IP protocols, and is responsible for providing MANET nodes with wireless Internet access though they are multiple wireless hops away from the edge of the Internet. The rationale behind using multihoming is to increase reliability of the Internet access service and enhance performance of the integrated network. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Voice/Data Integrated Wireless Channel Access in Third Generation Digital Cellular Networks: The Performance of Bursty Data Generated by Interactive Applications

Mobile wireless communications, which includecellular telephones, land mobile radio, and personalcommunications systems, have experienced enormous growthover the last decade. Data services represent a critical component of future wirelesscommunications, but have received little attention sofar. While some attention has been given to specializedmobile data networks, less has been directed at the ongoing design of data services in evolvingthird generation digital cellular wireless networks. Inthis work we present the results of a simulation studythat explores the performance of a Reservation Random Access (RRA) scheme for transmittingdata packets over a common radio broadcast channel in acellular radio environment. In addition to voicetraffic, we consider data packet traffic generated by interactive applications. It is expected thatsuch applications will be very important in thirdgeneration wireless access mobile communication systems.Through an extensive simulation study of the data message delay distribution, we show that theproposed RRA scheme, originally designed under thePoisson data message arrival process assumption, canalso efficiently operate and be optimized under theextremely bursty data message arrival processcharacterized by independent, identically distributed,Pareto message interarrival times.

Erlang Capacity of a Voice/Data Cellular CDMA Uplink System Using Prioritized Admission Control and Adaptive Power Control

A CDMA uplink system that carries both voice and data traffic is investigated. The reservation-based admission control scheme is used to prioritize voice mobiles, and the truncated channel inversion power control scheme is used by data mobiles to improve system capacity. The performance of the system is measured by the Erlang capacity. Two methods of determining the Erlang capacity are presented. The first method decouples the analysis of blocking and outage performance, thus simplifying numerical search. The second method takes into account the impact of mobile traffic fluctuations on interference statistics, and thus yields more accurate results. Numerical results are provided that show significant differences between the two methods. Finally, the Erlang capacities of the system are compared for different power control schemes.
