This book was released on 2004-09 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the rapid employment of wireless networks commercially, the military is seeking viable solutions for providing high-speed wireless network throughout the battle space. The IEEE 802.11a wireless LAN presents an attractive solution providing up to 54 Mbps data-link bandwidth. Moreover, it operates in the less congested 5-GHz U-NII band and possesses more operating channels. This research implemented two prototype systems using low-cost commercially available hardware. The Cisco Aironet 1400 wireless bridge and the Proxim Tsunami MP.11a wireless system were chosen for their superior specifications and for their reputation of being market leaders in IEEE 802.11 wireless products. The performances of the prototype systems were evaluated in three operational environments (land, water and vegetation). The data collected were then compared to the theoretical performance.

Book Towards Wireless Bare Machines   a Study of Three Aspects of 802 11 Wireless Networks

Download or read book Towards Wireless Bare Machines a Study of Three Aspects of 802 11 Wireless Networks written by William R. Agosto-Padilla and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bare machines applications run without the support of any operating system (OS) or other intermediary software. Since only the application code runs on the bare machine, exploits that target an underlying OS or kernel cannot compromise such applications. Bare machine applications are also more efficient than applications that require a conventional OS or kernel due to elimination of the associated overhead. Existing bare machine applications include Web servers, split servers, mail servers, SIP servers and VoIP clients. A bare machine connects to a network via an Ethernet connection. This research lays the groundwork for enabling bare machines to connect to 802.11 wireless networks in the future. We first obtain baseline performance measurements for mobile devices that connect to an 802.11n network. Specifically, we conduct experiments to measure the throughput and delay of mobile devices in a 2.4 GHz 802.11n LAN under different levels of congestion in the wireline network, where the path from the mobile devices to a Web server traverses several routers. The results indicate that there is high variability in the performance of mobile devices even in an interference-controlled environment with no congestion in the wireline network; and that higher performance loss does not always correspond to a higher level of congestion. Packet analysis reveals that the performance variability and performance reduction are primarily due to the use of RTS-CTS and the cost of retransmitting packets on the wireless link. This suggests that mobile devices in an 802.11 network should be conservative in their use of RTS-CTS when congestion in the wireline network is likely or detected. Next, we study a Broadcom Linux 802.11n wireless device driver. Our analysis provides a deeper insight into driver functions and their OS dependencies. We analyze the driver module by examining its interaction with other modules, providing details of its key elements and code sizes, and comparing code sizes with its counterpart Windows driver. We also identify some design issues that will be useful for developing device drivers that are independent of any operating system, kernel, or embedded system. The study shows that transforming existing OS drivers to run on a bare machine requires knowledge of the inner workings of the Linux kernel and its interactions with the device driver. Finally, we study CCM mode, which is the basis for the 802.11i security standard CCMP. We first study popular Linux and Windows CCM mode implementations to understand their OS dependencies. We then implement CCM mode with no OS dependencies so that it runs on a bare machine. The bare machine CCM mode implementation derives from the original specification of CCM mode, and is not a transformation of either the Linux or the Windows versions. We compare the performance of the bare machine and Linux CCM implementations by sending UDP messages and measuring internal timings for the authenticated encryption/decryption operations. We also measure network delays. The results show that the bare machine implementation performs better than the Linux implementation in some cases, but not in others.

Book A QoS Capable Architecture for IEEE 80211 Wireless LAN and the Prototype Implementation on Linux

Download or read book A QoS Capable Architecture for IEEE 80211 Wireless LAN and the Prototype Implementation on Linux written by Dong Liu and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The increasing popularity of wireless handheld devices with multimedia functionality and IEEE 802.11 based network connectivity generated the need for Quality of Service (QoS) support of real time applications deployed over the wireless LANs. However, the time varying nature of wireless link and network is a serious challenge when attempting to provide Quality of Service support. This thesis proposes a low cost/complexity QoS capable wireless LAN architecture. We designed a distributed network congestion control scheme based on current commercial available hardware. The proposed technique was implemented on a Linux based testbed. Its performance was assessed through extensive experiments. Our evaluation test work includes two parts. First an IEEE802.11b wireless LAN testbed is established and a thorough network capacity measurement test is performed. The actual performance of real wireless LAN products is evaluated in a typical indoor environment. Furthermore, the impacts of multiple competing stations and nearby radio noise are also evaluated in this testbed. In the second part, the QoS capable wireless architecture prototype is implemented using Linux operating system Redhat 7.3 and Orinoco Golden IEEE802.11b wireless network card. The performance evaluation is conducted using the prototype implemented on the IEEE802.11 b wireless LAN testbed.

Book Evaluating and Characterizing the Performance of 802 11 Networks

Download or read book Evaluating and Characterizing the Performance of 802 11 Networks written by Ali Abedi and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 802.11 standard has become the dominant protocol for Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs). As an indication of its current and growing popularity, it is estimated that over 20 billion WiFi chipsets will be shipped between 2016 and 2021. In a span of less than 20 years, the speed of these networks has increased from 11 Mbps to several Gbps. The ever-increasing demand for more bandwidth required by applications such as large downloads, 4K video streaming, and virtual reality applications, along with the problems caused by interfering WiFi and non-WiFi devices operating on a shared spectrum has made the evaluation, understanding, and optimization of the performance of 802.11 networks an important research topic. In 802.11 networks, highly variable channel conditions make conducting valid, repeatable, and realistic experiments extremely challenging. Highly variable channel conditions, although representative of what devices actually experience, are often avoided in order to conduct repeatable experiments. In this thesis, we study existing methodologies for the empirical evaluation of 802.11 networks. We show that commonly used methodologies, such as running experiments multiple times and reporting the average along with the confidence interval, can produce misleading results in some environments. We propose and evaluate a new empirical evaluation methodology that expands the environments in which repeatable evaluations can be conducted for the purpose of comparing competing alternatives. Even with our new methodology, in environments with highly variable channel conditions, distinguishing statistically significant differences can be very difficult because variations in channel conditions lead to large confidence intervals. Moreover, running many experiments is usually very time consuming. Therefore, we propose and evaluate a trace-based approach that combines the realism of experiments with the repeatability of simulators. A key to our approach is that we capture data related to properties of the channel that impact throughput. These traces can be collected under conditions representative of those in which devices are likely to be used and then used to evaluate different algorithms or systems, resulting in fair comparisons because the alternatives are exposed to identical channel conditions. Finally, we characterize the relationships between the numerous transmission rates in 802.11n networks with the purpose of reducing the complexities caused by the large number of transmission rates when finding the optimal combination of physical-layer features. We find that there are strong relationships between most of the transmission rates over extended periods of time even in environments that involve mobility and experience interference. This work demonstrates that there are significant opportunities for utilizing relationships between rate configurations in designing algorithms that must choose the best combination of physical-layer features to use from a very large space of possibilities.

Book Hybrid PID Based Predictive Control Strategies for WirelessHART Networked Control Systems

Download or read book Hybrid PID Based Predictive Control Strategies for WirelessHART Networked Control Systems written by Sabo Miya Hassan and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-05-12 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent advances in wireless technology have led to the emergence of industry standards such as WirelessHART. These strategies minimise the need for cumbersome cabling, thereby reducing costs. However, applying them involves the challenge of handling stochastic network delays, which can degrade control performance. To address this problem, commonly used simple PID could be employed. However, PID suffers from gain range limitations when used in a delayed environment. Furthermore, model-based controllers are complex and require exact models of the process and systematic system identification for implementation. Therefore, to address these issues, the book proposes control strategies that retain the simplicity of PID in terms of ease of tuning and structure, while improving on the performance of the closed-loop system with regard to stochastic network delays and mismatches. Concretely, it proposes and discusses three strategies, namely: Setpoint Weighting (SW), Filtered Predictive PI (FPPI) and Optimal Fuzzy PID. In order to optimise some of these controllers, two novel hybrid optimisation algorithms combining the dynamism of the Bacterial Foraging Algorithm (BFA) and advantages of both the Spiral Dynamic Algorithm (SDA) and the Accelerated Particle Swarm Optimisation (APSO) have been used. The strategies proposed here can also be applied in stochastic control scenarios (not necessarily wireless) characterised by uncertainties. This book will be useful to engineers and researchers in both industry and academia. In industry, it will be particularly useful to research and development efforts where PID controllers and wireless sensor networks (WSNs) involving both short and long term stochastic network delay are employed. Thus, it can be used for real-time control design in these areas. In the academic setting, the book will be useful for researchers, undergraduate and graduate students of instrumentation and control. It can also be used as reference material for teaching courses on predictive and adaptive controls and their application.
