Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an in-depth look into recent advances in relation to novel design strategies and algorithms to improve performance and functionality of WMNs. Ten contributed chapters written by a group of well-known experts in wireless mesh networking are arranged in two parts. The first part of the book focuses on link scheduling schemes to select a subset of links for simultaneous transitions under interference constraints in an efficient and fair manner to guarantee a certain level of network connectivity. Besides, it describes channel assignment strategies to improve the network throughput in multi-radio multi-channel WMNs by means of an efficient channel utilization and minimization of the interference. The second part of the book addresses some important network planning issues related to efficient routing protocols in dynamic large-scale mesh environment, achievable capacity limit of a single wireless link between two multi-interface mesh nodes, the correctness of the mesh security architecture, fault-tolerant mesh network topology planning.

This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis is concerned with the channel assignment (CA) problem in multi-channel multi-interface wireless mesh networks (M2WNs). First, for M2WNs with general topologies, we rigorously demonstrate using the combinatorial principle of inclusion/exclusion that the CA solution space can be quantified, indicating that its cardinality is greatly influenced by the number of radio interfaces installed on each router. Based on this analysis, a novel scheme is developed to construct a new reduced search space, represented by a lattice structure, that is searched more efficiently for a CA solution. The elements in the reduced lattice-based space, labeled Solution Structures (SS), represent groupings of feasible CA solutions satisfying the radio constraints at each node. Two algorithms are presented for searching the lattice structure. The first is a greedy algorithm that finds a good SS in polynomial time, while the second provides a user-controlled depthfirst search for the optimal SS. The obtained SS is used to construct an unconstrained weighted graph coloring problem which is then solved to satisfy the soft interference constraints. For the special class of full M2WNs (fM2WNs), we show that an optimal CA solution can only be achieved with a certain number of channels; we denote this number as the characteristic channel number and derive upper and lower bounds for that number as a function of the number of radios per router. Furthermore, exact values for the required channels for minimum interference are obtained when certain relations between the number of routers and the radio interfaces in a given fM2WN are satisfied. These bounds are then employed to develop closed-form expressions for the minimum channel interference that achieves the maximum throughput for uniform traffic on all communication links. Accordingly, a polynomial-time algorithm to find a near-optimal solution for the channel assignment problem in fM2WN is developed. Experimental results confirm the obtained theoretical results and demonstrate the performance of the proposed schemes.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wireless Mesh Network is one of the promising architecture for providing last-mile broadband Internet connectivity to network users. The network capacity in 802.11-based single channel wireless mesh network is highly affected by interference caused by backhaul wireless links' transmissions. This makes it inadequate for the new deployment scenarios with high number of users and traffic demands. To increase the network capacity, mesh routers are equipped with multiple radio interfaces. As a consequence, various wireless links can simultaneously operate within a set of orthogonal channels instead of a single channel. Routing and channel assignment are fundamental challenges in such networks, where the two functions determine how the traffic distributes over different links and channels. Therefore, for a given traffic load distribution, both channel assignment and routing need to be efficiently determined. The interdependent nature of routing and channel assignment has attracted researcher's attention to address these two issues jointly. In addition, re-configuration is required in dynamic traffic loads to ensure optimal network resources utilization. Frequent re-configuration degrades the network performance. This is because re-configuration of channels and routes disrupt the network traffic and increase the packet loss and delay. The main objective of this research is to develop an efficient joint state-aware algorithm, which is capable of adapting the traffic load variation with less traffic disruption. In developing the proposed solution, the re-configuration cost should be identified and considered. Firstly, the problem is formulated as a multi-objective optimization problem. The aim of this optimization problem is to minimize four objective functions, namely the maximum channel-link utilization, average network contention, channel re-assignment cost and re-routing cost. Then a heuristic algorithm called State-Aware Joint Routing and Channel Assignment (SA-JRCA) is proposed to address these challenges. The proposed algorithm is compared with the proposal of Avallone et al., 2013 and the proposal of Raniwala et al., 2004. The ns-2 simulator is used for evaluation. The proposed and compared works are evaluated and analyzed based on various metrics, such as maximum channel-link utilization, average network contention, channel re-assignment cost, re-routing cost, average throughput, and average end-to-end delay. The proposed algorithm shows better performance compared with the other two proposals. A new metric is proposed to evaluate the network performance. The proposed average network contention metric shows more correlations with network performance than maximum channel-link utilization. The results show that the proposed algorithm achieved the highest packet delivery ratio with more consistency with the traffic variation. In contrast, the other two algorithms show degradation in the performance with higher traffic variation and their achieved packet delivery ratio, reduced by 13%, 21% respectively when the traffic load varied from 10% to 50%.

Download or read book Channel Assignment and Routing in Cooperative and Competitive Wireless Mesh Networks written by Ibrar Ali Shah and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this thesis, the channel assignment and routing problems have been investigated for both cooperative and competitive Wireless Mesh networks (WMNs). A dynamic and distributed channel assignment scheme has been proposed which generates the network topologies ensuring less interference and better connectivity. The proposed channel assignment scheme is capable of detecting the node failures and mobility in an efficient manner. The channel monitoring module precisely records the quality of bi-directional links in terms of link delays. In addition, a Quality of Service based Multi-Radio Ad-hoc On Demand Distance Vector (QMR-AODV) routing protocol has been devised. QMR-AODV is multi-radio compatible and provides delay guarantees on end-to-end paths. The inherited problem of AODV's network wide flooding has been solved by selectively forwarding the routing queries on specified interfaces. The QoS based delay routing metric, combined with the selective route request forwarding, reduces the routing overhead from 24% up to 36% and produces 40.4% to 55.89% less network delays for traffic profiles of 10 to 60 flows, respectively. A distributed channel assignment scheme has been proposed for competitive WMNs, where the problem has been investigated by applying the concepts from non-cooperative bargaining Game Theory in two stages. In the first stage of the game, individual nodes of the non-cooperative setup is considered as the unit of analysis, where sufficient and necessary conditions for the existence of Nash Equilibrium (NE) and Negotiation-Proof Nash Equilibrium (N-PNE) have been derived. A distributed algorithm has been presented with perfect information available to the nodes of the network. In the presence of perfect information, each node has the knowledge of interference experience by the channels in its collision domain. The game converges to N-PNE in finite time and the average fairness achieved by all the nodes is greater than 0.79 (79%) as measured through Jain Fairness Index. Since N-PNE and NE are not always a system optimal solutions when considered from the end-nodes prospective, the model is further extended to incorporate non-cooperative end-users bargaining between two end user's Mesh Access Points (MAPs), where an increase of 10% to 27% in end-to-end throughput is achieved. Furthermore, a non-cooperative game theoretical model is proposed for end-users flow routing in a multi-radio multi-channel WMNs. The end user nodes are selfish and compete for the channel resources across the WMNs backbone, aiming to maximize their own benefit without taking care for the overall system optimization. The end-to-end throughputs achieved by the flows of an end node and interference experienced across the WMNs backbone are considered as the performance parameters in the utility function. Theoretical foundation has been drawn based on the concepts from the Game Theory and necessary conditions for the existence of NE have been extensively derived. A distributed algorithm running on each end node with imperfect information has been implemented to assess the usefulness of the proposed mechanism. The analytical results have proven that a pure strategy Nash Equilibrium exists with the proposed necessary conditions in a game of imperfect information. Based on a distributed algorithm, the game converges to a stable state in finite time. The proposed game theoretical model provides a more reasonable solution with a standard deviation of 2.19Mbps as compared to 3.74Mbps of the random flow routing. Finally, the Price of Anarchy (PoA) of the system is close to one which shows the efficiency of the proposed scheme.

Book excerpt: Earthquakes are natural hazards under which disasters are mainly caused by damage to structures or collapse of buildings and other man-made structures. Shaking and ground rupture are the main effects created by earthquakes, principally resulting in more or less severe damage to buildings and other rigid structures. As the earth vibrates, all buildings on the ground surface will respond to that vibration in varying degrees. The horizontal ground motion action is similar to the effect of a horizontal force action on the building.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The increasing demand for large and low cost wireless coverage, ranging from campus to city wide areas, has motivated a high interest in multi-hop communications with Wireless Mesh Networks (WMN) based on IEEE 802.11s as the most recent and significant standard. Channel Assignment (CA) is mechanism which selects the best channels for an individual wireless node or the entire network aiming to increase the capacity of the network. Channel assignment has been extensively researched for multi-radio WMNs, but it is still very challenging when it comes to its implementation. Although IEEE 802.11s introduces new inter-working, routing and wireless frame forwarding at the link layer, the multi channel architecture receives less attention due to many unsolved challenges that arises while mesh service set works over multiple frequencies. This research work tries to give a solution to the needs of designing an efficient channel assignment mechanism. As a result we have proposed a new static channel assignment based on the fact that not all wireless links are practically useful. Our mechanism prunes the network topology by removing weak wireless links and improves the network performance by reaching a more diverse channel-radio assignation solution. Toward designing a distributed channel assignment we propose a new game theory based formulation of channel assignment which is applicable to a realistic scenario with imperfect information at each router. We have proposed a distributed and hybrid channel assignment protocol based on the game formulation. The proposed channel assignment makes wireless router to be able to follow the unpredictable changes in the wireless environment. We also investigated the types of channel assignment protocols which can be adapted to the IEEE 802.11s based mesh network and improve the network good-put in terms of data delivery ratio and end-to-end delay.
