无线协作网络中一种高效的分布式安全中继选择方法

Cloud computing is always adopted to enhance the computing capability of mobile systems , especially when the mobile users prefer to use some computation intensive applications . Consequently, the distributed wireless relay infrastructure should be deployed to aid the traffic transmission. To further enhance the QoS provisioning goals of wireless cooperative network, this paper puts forward a multiobjective approach for distributed optimal relay selection, which takes Bit Error Rate (BER) and Secrecy Capacity (SC) into account simultaneously. Firstly, our proposal partitions the channel state into several levels according to the received signaltonoise ratio (SNR) and describes the timevarying Rayleigh fading channel characteristics by using first order finitestate Markov model. Secondly, we model the relay selection as Restless Multiarmed Bandit optimal solution problem with respect to the channel state and the state transition probability. Finally, simulation results demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed approach which outperforms the existing ones .

QoS Provisioning in Wireless IP Networks

This paper deals with quality of service (QoS) provision in wireless IP networks. QoS provision is particularly challenging in wireless networks, where network resources are generally limited, variable over time and shared. In the design of possible measures to assure QoS one should consider that standardization is well established for the network layer Internet Protocol and for many underlying technologies of frequent use (e.g. IEEE 802.11, BLUETOOTH or HIPERLAN II). Therefore, as far as research on QoS is concerned, there is little room in both the IP and the link-layers for improved IP over wireless interfaces. In this paper we illustrate a solution in which an intermediate Wireless Adaptation Layer (WAL) is transparently interposed between the IP layer and specific link-layer technologies as a solution to provide QoS. The WAL addresses two main issues: (i) compensation for channel impairments in different platforms in order to enhance wireless channel reliability and (ii) implementation of traffic control and packet scheduling mechanisms to satisfy bandwidth and delay requirements, as well as to enforce a general principle of fairness among the IP associations contending for network resources and achieve optimal exploitation of transmission capacity. The WAL consists of a set of modules, each one in charge of a specific task, which can be enabled or disabled depending on the specific network environment. The novelty of the WAL approach is its capability of adapting itself to different wireless interfaces selecting performance enhancing modules for specific networks. This requires to modify the standard TCP/IP protocol stack by introducing an intermediate layer between the IP layer and the Data Link layer, with performance enhancement purposes. This paper focuses on two modules in particular, namely a traffic control module, which is in charge of performing congestion control and channel state dependent scheduling (CSD) packet scheduling, and a forward error correction (FEC) module, which compensates for channel impairments. This paper presents the proposed architecture provided with these modules and reports some measurements and simulations highlighting benefits resulting from the use of such modules.     

Energy-Efficient Broadcast and Multicast Trees in Wireless Networks

The wireless networking environment presents formidable challenges to the study of broadcasting and multicasting problems. In this paper we focus on the problem of multicast tree construction, and we introduce and evaluate algorithms for tree construction in infrastructureless, all-wireless applications. The performance metric used to evaluate broadcast and multicast trees is energy-efficiency. We develop the Broadcast Incremental Power (BIP) algorithm, and adapt it to multicast operation by introducing the Multicast Incremental Power (MIP) algorithm. These algorithms exploit the broadcast nature of the wireless communication environment, and address the need for energy-efficient operation. We demonstrate that our algorithms provide better performance than algorithms that have been developed for the link-based, wired environment.

Energy-Efficient Cooperative Transmission in Heterogeneous Wireless Networks with QoS Constraint

Heterogeneous wireless network is an effective scheme to improve both the spectrum efficiency and energy efficiency of cellular system. However, interference limits the performance of such heterogeneous wireless network seriously. Hence cooperative decision making, i.e., cooperative transmission is necessary. In this paper, we develop an energy-efficient scheme for cooperative transmission in heterogeneous wireless networks with QoS constraint. Since too much signaling is needed for absolutely centralized cooperation, which is infeasible in practical system, partly cooperation is considered in this paper. We first formulate the problem as a two-stage Stackelberg game. In the first stage, an energy-efficient transmission scheme for macrocell users (MUE) is proposed based on the interference state of the MUEs. In the second stage, after obtaining the SINR and target SINR of the MUEs, the femtocell base stations update their beamformers and optimize the transmission power individually through a non-cooperative game, the existence and uniqueness of the Nash equilibrium is proved. Then an iterative algorithm is proposed to obtain the Stackelberg equilibrium. Simulation results show the performance gain of the proposed scheme.     

一种基于网络编码协作的高能效无线传感器网络机制

Energy-efficient communications is crucial for wireless sensor networks (WSN) where energy consumption is constrained. The transmission and reception energy can be saved by applying network coding to many wireless communications systems. In this paper, we present a coded cooperation scheme which employs network coding to WSN. In the scheme, the partner node forwards the combination of the source data and its own data instead of sending the source data alone. Afterward, both of the system block error rates (BLERs) and energy performance are evaluated. Experiment results show that the proposed scheme has higher energy efficiency. When Noise power spectral density is -171dBm/Hz, the energy consumption of the coded cooperation scheme is 81.1% lower than that of the single-path scheme, 43.9% lower than that of the cooperation scheme to reach the target average BLER of 10-2. When the channel condition is getting worse, the energy saving effect is more obvious.

无线传感器网络中簇首选择算法研究

传统的低功耗自适应集簇分层型协议（LEACH）算法在选择簇首时未能考虑到节点剩余能量对网络寿命的影响,使得簇首分布不够合理。为了克服该问题,在完全分布式成簇算法（HEED）协议的基础上,设计了一种根据节点剩余能量选择簇首的算法。在该算法中,剩余能量越大的节点越有可能成为簇首,进而承担更多数据传输责任,能量消耗更加平均,增强了算法的健壮性。仿真结果证实,提出的算法可以有效提高网络能量的使用效率,减少功耗,延长网络生存时间。     

QoS Provisioning in Wireless/Mobile Multimedia Networks Using an Adaptive Framework

Recently there is a growing interest in the adaptive multimedia networking where the bandwidth of an ongoing multimedia call can be dynamically adjusted. In the wireless/mobile multimedia networks using the adaptive framework, the existing QoS provisioning focused on the call blocking probability and the forced termination probability should be modified. We, therefore, redefine a QoS parameter – the cell overload probability – from the viewpoint of the adaptive multimedia networking. Then, we propose a distributed call admission control (CAC) algorithm that guarantees the upper bound of the cell overload probability. Also, a bandwidth adaptation algorithm which seeks to minimize the cell overload probability is also presented. Simulation experiments are carried out to verify the performance of the proposed CAC algorithm. Furthermore, the performance of the adaptive wireless/mobile network is compared to that of the existing non-adaptive wireless/mobile networks. As a further step in QoS provisioning, we propose another QoS parameter, the degradation period ratio, and discuss analytically how the CAC algorithm guarantees the upper bound of the degradation period ratio.
