Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cross-layer design and optimization is a new technique which can be used to design and improve the performance in both wireless and wire line networks. The central idea of cross-layer design is to optimize the control and exchange of information over two or more layers to achieve significant performance improvements by exploiting the interactions between various protocol layers. In this thesis, a cross-layer design and optimization framework was proposed and the concept of using the optimization agent to provide the exchange and control of information between the protocol layers was also introduced. The approach for this thesis is to investigate the effects of the wireless channel and the performance of a small scale wireless sensor network (WSN) to develop insights that can be used in the design and development of the optimization agent in the proposed cross-layer framework. A tap delay line (TDL) model was developed and simulated in MATLAB to investigate the effects of the wireless channel impairments due to mobility and multipath fading. Performance measurements were also conducted to study the effects of interference and transmission range for a group of networked wireless sensors.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Short-range wireless networks, such as wireless sensor networks, have become an integral part of our modern lives and have been broadly applied in many fields such as industry, military and research to facilitate the gathering and distribution of information. Compared with traditional wireless networks, such as cellular networks, short-range wireless networks have the following unique characteristics. (i) Dense deployment: the network devices are often densely deployed to achieve better monitoring of the environment. (ii) Circuit power consumption: due to the short communication distances, the network devices communicate with each other using low transmit power that is comparable to the devices' circuit power consumption. Thus, circuit power consumption is a major contributor to the energy drain of the network devices. (iii) Battery powered: the network devices are usually battery powered and may be deployed in remote areas. Thus, it is difficult or even impossible to replace the energy supplies of many of the network devices in a short-range wireless network. Therefore, maximizing the energy efficiency of short-range wireless networks is of paramount importance. In this dissertation, I explore the cross-layer design principle to improve the energy efficiency of energy constrained short-range wireless networks, while fully considering their unique characteristics as outlined above. In order to maximize energy efficiency, my research focuses on the cross-layer optimization of the physical layer, the data link layer, the multiple access layer, the network layer, and the application layer. In this dissertation, I (i) develop an energy efficient cross-layer design of the physical layer and the data link layer in a typical narrowband system over an additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel and a Rayleigh fading channel, as well as in a typical Impulse Radio Ultra Wideband (IR-UWB) system over a frequency selective channel; (ii) optimize the energy efficiency of a clustered wireless network by choosing the optimal transmit power, selecting the optimal cluster head, and deciding whether or not to use multi-hop routing within a cluster; and (iii) optimize the energy efficiency of a short-range wireless network with distributed source coding (DSC) and adaptive transmission, as well as with DSC over Gaussian multiple access channels. Compared with existing work in the literature, I make unique contributions in this dissertation in the following aspects. First, the unique characteristics of short-range wireless networks, such as dense deployment and circuit power consumption, are considered in all of my cross-layer optimizations. Second, I focus on achieving a balance between cost and performance during the development of the cross-layer optimization schemes, due to the limited computational capacity of the network devices in short-range wireless networks. Third, throughout this dissertation, I develop universal optimal solutions that are highly parameterized and directly applicable in general scenarios. My research results in a large improvement in the energy efficiency of devices for short-range wireless networks"--Leaves v-vi.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Information flow in a telecommunication network is accomplished through the interaction of mechanisms at various design layers with the end goal of supporting the information exchange needs of the applications. In wireless networks in particular, the different layers interact in a nontrivial manner in order to support information transfer. In this text we will present abstract models that capture the cross-layer interaction from the physical to transport layer in wireless network architectures including cellular, ad-hoc and sensor networks as well as hybrid wireless-wireline. The model allows for arbitrary network topologies as well as traffic forwarding modes, including datagrams and virtual circuits. Furthermore the time varying nature of a wireless network, due either to fading channels or to changing connectivity due to mobility, is adequately captured in our model to allow for state dependent network control policies. Quantitative performance measures that capture the quality of service requirements in these systems depending on the supported applications are discussed, including throughput maximization, energy consumption minimization, rate utility function maximization as well as general performance functionals. Cross-layer control algorithms with optimal or suboptimal performance with respect to the above measures are presented and analyzed. A detailed exposition of the related analysis and design techniques is provided.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cross-layer design and optimization is a new technique which can be used to design and improve the performance in both wireless and wireline networks. The central idea of cross-layer design is to optimize the control and exchange of information over two or more layers to achieve significant performance improvements by exploiting the interaction between various protocol layers. Designing for wireless networks such as cellular networks, WLANs, mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) and Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), poses more stringent requirements than wireline networks and are considerably different in their applications and architectures, although all use wireless channel for communication. Promising results achieved by cross-layer optimizations initiated significant research activity in this area. Due to features such as ease of deployment, increased coverage and enhanced capacity, multi hop wireless networks like ad hoc networks, and mixed network that form the network in a self-organized manner without relying on fixed infrastructure is touted as the new frontier of wireless networking. This work aims to review the present study on the cross-layer paradigm for QoS support in multi-hop wireless networks. Several examples of evolutionary and revolutionary cross-layer approaches are presented in detail. The Cross-Talk architecture represents one of the more aggressive approaches to cross layer improvement. This architecture enables performance related decisions at the global level that can propagate down to the local layer. This architecture fits the Mixed Network modeling developed here at MSU for the iNET project. Organizing the Mixed Networks solutions into the framework of the Cross-Talk Architecture will allow this work to build on the body of research already in place for cross layering.-- Abstract.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cross-layer design is an efficient approach to enhance energy efficiency and Quality of Service (QoS) in wireless ad hoc sensor networks. This dissertation will focus on the cross-layer issues and approaches. It will also discuss the latency-aware and energy efficiency tradeoffs and the packets transmission in the rear part of the dissertation. Firstly, we will analyze the cross-layer design for wireless sensor networks based on the virtual MIMO techniques. We will coordinate the physical layer, the MAC layer and the network layer for cross-layer evaluation. Performance analysis and simulation results show that throughput and packet loss ratio will have different performances compared with only considering the MIMO scheme in the physical layer as the increase of the number of transmitters. Secondly, we will discuss the bottom-up optimization for cross-layer design. We used the fuzzy logic system (FLS) to coordinate the physical layer, the data-link layer and the application layer for cross-layer design. Simulation results show that the cross-layer design can reduce the average delay, increase the throughput and extend the network lifetime. The network performance parameters could also keep stability after the cross-layer optimization. Thirdly, we extended the FLS application in cross-layer design from Type-1 to Type-2. We demonstrated that type-2 fuzzy membership function (MF), i.e., the Gaussian MFs with uncertain variance is most appropriate to model BER and MAC layer service time. We used the forecasted transmission delay to adjust the transmission power, and it showed that the interval type-2 FLS performed much better than a type-1 FLS, and FLSs performed better than back-prop NN in terms of energy consumption, average delay and throughput. Also, we obtained the performance bound based on the actual transmission delay. Finally, we applied a image as the real service in WSNs. We considered cross-layer design for image transmission in WSNs. We combined the application layer, the MAC layer and the physical layer together. According to analysis and simulation, there were tradeoffs between QoS and energy consumption for both high priority service and low priority service. Application level QoS was applied to evaluate the cross-layer design for WSNs. Two other works were discussed in this dissertation. One is the latency-aware and energy efficiency tradeoffs for wireless sensor networks. Latency and energy efficiency are two important parameters to evaluate the WSNs. The FLS is applied to the nodes selection. In contrast with the cases that only consider one descriptor, the FLS application can manage the delay/energy tradeoffs to meet the network performance requirements. Another work discussed is "Packets Transmission in wireless sensor networks: interference, energy and delay-aware approach". In the WSN, the interference will affect the packets transmission. We proposed FLS in the optimization of SIR threshold selection. Average delay and distance of a node to the source node are selected as antecedents for the FLS. The output of FLS provided adjusting factors for the SIR threshold. Simulation results showed the fuzzy optimization could achieve a better network efficiency, reduce the average delay and extend the network lifetime.

This book was released on 2006-06-14 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cross-layer design seeks to enhance the capacity of wireless networks significantly through the joint optimization of multiple layers in the network, primarily the physical (PHY) and medium access control (MAC) layers. Although there are advantages of such design in wireline networks as well, this approach is particularly advantageous for wireless networks due to the properties (such as mobility and interference) that strongly affect performance and design of higher layer protocols. This unique monograph is concerned with the issue of cross-layer design in wireless networks, and more particularly with the impact of node-level multiuser detection on such design. It provides an introduction to this vibrant and active research area insufficiently covered in existing literature, presenting some of the principal methods developed and results obtained to date. Accompanied by numerous illustrations, the text is an excellent reference for engineers, researchers and students working in communication networks.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As an effort toward the standardization, we further propose the potential universal architecture platform EWI (Embedded Wireless Interconnect), in wireless sensor networks, for replacing the existing OSI paradigm. EWI is built on two layers, which are Wireless Link layer and System layer, respectively. Studies from both experiential and theoretical perspectives are then considered for EWI. In wireless sensor networks, the optimization for lower energy consumption under application specific network QoS (Quality of Service) requirements, introduces a tremendous impetus to integrate multiple OSI (Open Systems Interconnect) layers. In the dissertation, we show that the optimization leads to cross layer design from the two ends, which are the Physical layer and the Application layer, respectively. Starting from the Application layer, we study LESOP (Low Energy Self Organizing Protocol) for target tracking in dense wireless sensor networks. The application QoS under consideration is the target tracking error, and a QoS knob is utilized to control the tradeoff between target tracking error and network energy consumption. Direct connections are found between the top Application layer and the bottom MAC (Medium Access Control)/Physical layers. Moreover, unlike the classical OSI paradigm of communication networks, Transport and Network layers are excluded in LESOP to simplify the protocol stack. Starting from the Physical layer, we first concentrate on the probability of successful radio packet delivery. By exploiting the tradeoff between this probability and network energy consumption, CTP-SN (Cooperative Transmission Protocol for Sensor Networks) shows that the sensor nodes cooperative radio transmission reduces the outage probability exponentially when the nodes density increases. In MSSN (Sensor Networks with Mobile Sinks), on the other hand, the probability of successful information retrieval on the mobile sink is under consideration. Optimal and suboptimal transmission scheduling algorithms are then studied for MSSN, by exploiting the particular tradeoff. In both studies, optimizations lead to compound Link layer and Physical layer design.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In this dissertation, I use mathematical optimization approach to solve the complex network problems. Paper l and paper 2 first show that ignoring the bandwidth constraint can lead to infeasible routing solutions. A sufficient condition on link bandwidth is proposed that makes a routing solution feasible, and then a mathematical optimization model based on this sufficient condition is provided. Simulation results show that joint optimization models can provide more feasible routing solutions and provide significant improvement on throughput and lifetime. In paper 3 and paper 4, an interference model is proposed and a transmission scheduling scheme is presented to minimize the end-to-end delay. This scheduling scheme is designed based on integer linear programming and involves interference modeling. Using this schedule, there are no conflicting transmissions at any time. Through simulation, it shows that the proposed link scheduling scheme can significantly reduce end-to-end latency. Since to compute the maximum throughput is an NP-hard problem, efficient heuristics are presented in Paper 5 that use sufficient conditions instead of the computationally-expensive-to-get optimal condition to capture the mutual conflict relation in a collision domain. Both one-way transmission and two-way transmission are considered. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithms improve network throughput and reduce energy consumption, with significant improvement over previous work on both aspects. Paper 6 studies the complicated tradeoff relation among multiple factors that affect the sensor network lifetime and proposes an adaptive multi-hop clustering algorithm. It realizes the best tradeoff among multiple factors and outperforms others that do not. It is adaptive in the sense the clustering topology changes over time in order to have the maximum lifetime"--Abstract, leaf iv.
