自组网中一种基于跨层负载感知的按需负载均衡路由

本文提出了一种新的基于跨层负载感知的自组网负载均衡路由协议（CLLOR）。CLLOR在路由发现阶段和路由维护阶段将整个路径中各节点MAC层的总平均估计时延和路径总业务流负载结合起来共同作为路由选择和路由调整的重要依据,以实现网络业务流的均衡分布和均衡传输。协议通过禁止中间节点对路由请求进行应答和阻止不必要的路由请求分组经由重负载的中间节点转发,以保证路由发现时能够利用最新的负载信息,并避免了节点在重负载情况下成为新建路由的中间节点,使得协议具有一定的拥塞控制功能,以间接的方式实现了请求接纳控制。通过上述措施,可以很好地避免网络中出现拥塞节点,减少了网络瓶颈对网络性能的影响。仿真表明,CLLOR在分组丢失率、平均端到端时延和路由附加开销等方面具有良好的性能,其优良的分布式控制特征能适应自组网的动态环境。

Enhanced AODV routing protocol for Bluetooth scatternet

Bluetooth is one of the most widespread technologies for personal area networks that allow portable devices to form multi-hop Bluetooth ad hoc networks, so called scatternets. Routing is one of the challenges in scatternets because of its impact on the performance of the network. It should focus on reducing the power consumption in the network because most of the nodes are battery-operated portable devices. In this paper, we propose a routing protocol for Bluetooth scatternets that customizes the Ad hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (AODV) routing protocol by making it power-aware and suitable for scatternets. It enhances the AODV flooding mechanism by excluding all non-bridge slaves from taking apart in the AODV route discovery process. In addition, it improves the AODV route discovery phase by considering the hop count, the predicated node’s power, and the average traffic intensity for each node as metrics for best route selection. By removing HELLO packets, our protocol reduces the control packets overhead and the power consumption in network devices. Simulation results show that the proposed protocol achieved considerable improvements over other enhanced AODV protocols by increasing the data delivery ratio by 10.78%, reducing the average end-to-end delay by 8.11%, and reducing the average energy consumption by 7.92%.     

Using particle swam optimization for QoS in ad-hoc multicast

A mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is a collection of self-organized mobile nodes that are capable of communicating with each other without the aid of any established infrastructure or centralized administration. Multicasting plays a very important role in the application of ad hoc networks. As the number of participants increases, scalability of the multicast protocol becomes an important issue. When considering the increasing demand of Quality-of-Service (QoS) requirements in many applications, the existing multicast routing protocols used for ad-hoc network should be adapted appropriately to effectively meet the stringent QoS requirements of specific multimedia traffic. We thus propose a multicast routing protocol which tries its best to meet the variation of behavior of network topology and satisfy QoS requirements of specific multimedia traffic using particle swam optimization (PSO) in the volatile environments of a MANET. Meanwhile, a priority scheduler with PSO is also proposed to make scheduling decisions so that the packet loss rate can be further reduced. The results of a series of simulations exhibit the practicability and feasibility of our protocol.     

一种适用于稀疏无线网的定向Geocast路由协议

Geocast协议是一种向特定区域内所有节点传送数据的多播协议.由于传统Geocast协议不适应Geocast组内节点稀疏的环境,本文提出一种适用于稀疏无线网络的定向Geocast路由算法.算法根据节点所处位置,将控制包的洪泛分为两部分：受限洪泛将在距源节点较近的Geocast区内节点与源节点间建立路由;定向洪泛可在远离其它Geocast区内节点的 Geocast节点与源节点间建立路由.实验结果表明,在节点稀疏的环境下,该算法比现有Geocast协议具有更好的性能.

基于有线的Ad Hoc路由协议的性能评估方法

Ad hoc路由协议可以使用软件仿真、现场试验分析、理论分析等方法对其进行性能分析和评估。由于现场试验分析开销高及实验环境部署复杂等原因,目前,软件仿真是对ad hoc路由协议进行性能评估的主要方法,但这种方法对于一些需要通过实际应用场景对ad hoc网络进行研究的情况并不具有说服力。本文综合各种方法的优缺点,提出一种基于有线网络的ad hoc路由协议性能评估新方法：通过在应用层、网络层、链路层添加各种数据采集探针来采集性能数据。此外,设计并实现了可视化的数据采集分析平台,可以对采集的性能数据进行图形化的展示及分析评估。这种方法不仅弥补了在软件仿真过程中,未考虑操作系统、系统硬件、系统设计、通信环境等敏感因素带来的影响,使得测试结果更逼近真实,而且解决了现场试验分析中性能数据不易获取、开销巨大、场景搭建复杂等问题。最后,通过本文所提出的性能数据采集评估方法对3种典型的ad hoc路由协议进行性能对比分析。

The role of congestion in probabilistic broadcasting for ubiquitous wireless multi-hop networks through mediation analysis

Broadcast schemes play an important role in the performance of mobile ad hoc networks, which are a clear example of ubiquitous wireless multi-hop networks where nodes collaborate in a distributed way. They are widely used as a dissemination mechanism and as a part of the discovery phase of routing protocols. The simple flooding algorithm is the usual mechanism employed in mobile ad hoc networks, but its inefficiency has been demonstrated in congested scenarios due to the high number of collisions and contentions. However, these problems can be partially alleviated by using a probabilistic broadcast approach in which every node forwards the incoming packets according to a certain forwarding probability. In this paper, we use a simple probabilistic broadcast protocol to evaluate the effects of congestion on the performance of broadcasting in ad hoc networks through a mediation analysis. We hypothesize that the congestion mediates in the relationship between the forwarding probability (independent variable) and the output metric (dependent variable). We consider several output metrics according to the application of the broadcasting protocol such as reachability, broadcasting delay, packet delivery fraction and end to end delay. The simulation results show the existence of the mediating effects and how such effects may be counterbalanced depending on the target use of the probabilistic broadcast scheme.     

REFRAHN: A Resilience Evaluation Framework for Ad Hoc Routing Protocols

Routing protocols are key elements for ad hoc networks. They are in charge of establishing routes between network nodes efficiently. Despite the interest shown by the scientific community and industry in converting the first specifications of ad hoc routing protocols in functional prototypes, aspects such as the resilience of these protocols remain generally unaddressed in practice. Tackling this issue becomes critical given the increasingly variety of accidental and malicious faults (attacks) that may impact the behaviour exhibited by ad hoc routing protocols. The main objective of this paper is to deepen in the methodological aspects concerning fault injection in routing protocols. As a result, we will design and implement a framework based on the injection of accidental and malicious faults to quantitatively evaluate their impact on routing protocols. This framework, called REFRAHN (Resilience Evaluation FRamework for Ad Hoc routiNg protocols), can be used to (i) reduce the uncertainty about the sources of perturbations in the deployment of ad hoc routing protocols, (ii) design fault-tolerant mechanisms that address and minimise such problems, and (iii) compare and select which is the routing protocol that optimises the performance and robustness of the network.

A new wireless ad hoc multicast routing protocol

An ad hoc network is a multi-hop wireless network of mobile nodes without the intervention of fixed infrastructure. Limited bandwidth and mobility require that ad hoc routing protocols be robust, simple, and energy conserving. This paper proposes a new ad hoc multicast routing protocol called neighbor-supporting multicast protocol (NSMP). NSMP adopts a mesh structure to enhance resilience against mobility. And NSMP utilizes node locality to reduce the overhead of route maintenance. NSMP also attempts to improve route efficiency and reduce data transmissions. Our simulation results show that NSMP delivers packets efficiently while substantially reducing control overhead in various environments.     

An on-demand routing protocol for improving channel use efficiency in multichannel ad hoc networks

In wireless ad hoc networks, end-to-end delivery over network is a critical concern for routing protocols. The capacity of routing protocols is constrained by the intra-flow interference introduced by adjacent nodes on the same path, and inter-flow interference generated by nodes from neighboring paths. In this paper, we develop an on-demand routing protocol M-AODV-R that solves the channel assignment, reuse and routing problem jointly. The proposed channel reuse scheme and channel assignment scheme can enhance channel reuse rate. This cross-layer design approach can significantly improve the performance of multichannel ad hoc networks over existing routing protocols. Simulation results show that the proposed routing M-AODV-R can effectively increase throughput and reduce delay, as compared to AODV protocol.

The performance impact of traffic patterns on routing protocols in mobile ad hoc networks

As mobile ad hoc network (MANET) systems research has matured and several testbeds have been built to study MANETs, research has focused on developing new MANET applications such as collaborative games, collaborative computing, messaging systems, distributed security schemes, MANET middleware, peer-to-peer file sharing systems, voting systems, resource management and discovery, vehicular computing and collaborative education systems. The growing set of diverse applications developed for MANETs pose far more complex traffic patterns than the simple one-to-one traffic pattern, and hence the one-to-one traffic pattern widely used in previous protocol studies has become inadequate in reflecting the relative performance of these protocols when deployed to support these emerging applications.As a first step towards effectively supporting newly developed and future diverse MANET applications, this paper studies the performance impact of diverse traffic patterns on routing protocols in MANETs. Specifically, we propose a new communication model that extends the previous communication model to include a more general traffic pattern that varies the number of connections per source node. We study the performance impact of traffic patterns on various routing protocols via detailed simulations of an ad hoc network of 112 mobile nodes. Our simulation results show that many of the conclusions drawn in previous protocol comparison studies no longer hold under the new traffic patterns. These results motivate the need for performance evaluation of ad hoc networks to not only include rich and diverse mobility models as has been done in the past but also include diverse traffic patterns that stress a wide set of protocol design issues.     

Ad Hoc网络中SWAN模型改进及其仿真研究

SWAN是AdHoc网络中的一种无状态网络协议,利用分布式控制算法来传递分类服务。这种QoS模型把数据业务分为两类进行不同处理,即对尽力而为的UDP和TCP业务采用速率控制的策略而对实时的UDP业务采用基于源节点的接纳控制策略。然而现有模型在路由模块采用普通的路由协议,导致了路由和对整个路径资源探测两个过程分离开来;在接纳控制模块仅仅区分了节点间的业务而没有区分相同节点间的不同业务。该文针对这一问题对现有模型的修改主要体现在两个方面:(1)在路由模块用QoS路由替换了原有普通路由协议,路由和整个路径资源探测由QoS路由完成,从而减少了实时业务等待发送时间;(2)针对SWAN首次提出了基于数据流的服务,并且在接纳控制模块进行了相应修改。最后的仿真中表明了该文的修改是有效的,提高了模型的性能。
