This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Routing in wireless sensor, mobile ad-hoc, and vehicular networks is a crucial operation having significantly attracted scientists' attention during the past years. Opportunistic routing, however, is a novel and promising approach, which is still an ongoing research paradigm. The purpose of opportunistic routing protocols is to increase the reliability of delivering data packets to their destination by utilizing the broadcast nature of wireless networks and selecting a set of nodes, instead of only one, as potential next-hop candidates. Apart from the reliability, security and trustworthiness of communications is also a challenging task. More specifically, almost all traditional and opportunistic routing protocols require cooperation of all network nodes to complete the routing process. However, some nodes in the network may be compromised and avoid collaboration with others due to various selfish or malicious motivations. The focus of this thesis is on modeling security challenges and developing trust-based opportunistic routing protocols. This way, communication between nodes will not only benefit from the reliability of opportunistic routing methods, but also from the security of trust and reputation management schemes. For this purpose, a novel trust-based opportunistic routing protocol is proposed that introduces three different candidate selection metrics known as RTOR, TORDP, and GEOTOR. Such metrics have been designed to address specific characteristics of opportunistic routing protocols. In continue, a watchdog mechanism is proposed to assist nodes in monitoring their candidates, recalculating their trust value, and finally replacing malicious candidates with benign ones. Afterwards, an analytical approach is introduced using Discrete-Time Markov Chain to demonstrate the effect of malicious nodes on different parameters of a wireless network that uses opportunistic routing. In this model, a new method of calculating packet drop ratio is introduced to represent the effect of attackers. The model is then applied on different well-known opportunistic routing protocols and results of the model are verified by simulation. Finally, the proposed analytical model is extended to include a defensive mechanism against adversary nodes. In fact, a packet salvaging mechanism is developed through which backup candidates attempt to save some of the maliciously dropped data packets. Different related network parameters such as delivery ratio, salvage ratio, direct-delivery ratio, etc. are then introduced, calculated, and reported using the introduced model.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Opportunistic routing (OR) takes advantages of the spatial diversity and broadcast nature of wireless networks to combat the time-varying links by involving multiple neighboring nodes (forwarding candidates) for each packet relay. This dissertation studies the properties, energy efficiency, capacity, throughput, protocol design and security issues about OR in multihop wireless networks. Firstly, we study geographic opportunistic routing (GOR), a variant of OR which makes use of nodes' location information. We identify and prove three important properties of GOR. The first one is on prioritizing the forwarding candidates according to their geographic advancements to the destination. The second one is on choosing the forwarding candidates based on their advancements and link qualities in order to maximize the expected packet advancement (EPA) with different number of forwarding candidates. The third one is on the concavity of the maximum EPA in respect to the number of forwarding candidates. We further propose a local metric, EPA per unit energy consumption, to tradeoff the routing performance and energy efficiency for GOR. Leveraging the proved properties of GOR, we propose two efficient algorithms to select and prioritize forwarding candidates to maximize the local metric. Secondly, capacity is a fundamental issue in multihop wireless networks. We propose a framework to compute the end-to-end throughput bound or capacity of OR in single/multirate systems given OR strategies (candidate selection and prioritization). Taking into account wireless interference and unique properties of OR, we propose a new method of constructing transmission conflict graphs, and we introduce the concept of concurrent transmission sets to allow the proper formulation of the maximum end-to-end throughput problem as a maximum-flow linear programming problem subject to the transmission conflict constraints. We also propose two OR metrics: expected medium time (EMT) and expected advancement rate (EAR), and the corresponding distributed and local rate and candidate set selection schemes, the Least Medium Time OR (LMTOR) and the Multirate Geographic OR (MGOR). We further extend our framework to compute the capacity of OR in multi-radio multi-channel systems with dynamic OR strategies. We study the necessary and sufficient conditions for the schedulability of a traffic demand vector associated with a transmitter to its forwarding candidates in a concurrent transmission set. We further propose an LP approach and a heuristic algorithm to obtain an opportunistic forwarding strategy scheduling that satisfies a traffic demand vector. Our methodology can be used to calculate the end-to-end throughput bound of OR in multi-radio/channel/rate multihop wireless networks, as well as to study the OR behaviors (such as candidate selection and prioritization) under different network configurations. Thirdly, protocol design of OR in a contention-based medium access environment is an important and challenging issue. In order to avoid duplication, we should ensure only the "best" receiver of each packet to forward it in an efficient way. We investigate the existing candidate coordination schemes and propose a "fast slotted acknowledgment" (FSA) to further improve the performance of OR by using a single ACK to coordinate the forwarding candidates with the help of the channel sensing technique. Furthermore, we study the throughput of GOR in multi-rate and single-rate systems. We introduce a framework to analyze the one-hop throughput of GOR, and provide a deeper insight on the trade-off between the benefit (packet advancement, bandwidth, and transmission reliability) and cost (medium time delay) associated with the node collaboration. We propose a local metric named expected one-hop throughput (EOT) to balance the benefit and cost. Finally, packet reception ratio (PRR) has been widely used as an indicator of the link quality in multihop wireless networks. Many routing protocols including OR in wireless networks depend on the PRR information to make routing decision. Providing accurate link quality measurement (LQM) is essential to ensure the right operation of these routing protocols. However, the existing LQM mechanisms are subject to malicious attacks, thus can not guarantee to provide correct link quality information. We analyze the security vulnerabilities in the existing link quality measurement (LQM) mechanisms and propose an efficient broadcast-based secure LQM (SLQM) mechanism, which prevents the malicious attackers from reporting a higher PRR than the actual one. We analyze the security strength and the cost of the proposed mechanism.

This book was released on 2010-08 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Routing is a fundamental networking function in every communication system, and multi-hop wireless networks are no exceptions. Attacking the routing service, an adversary can easily paralyse the operation of an entire network. The malicious manipulation of some routing messages results in the dissemination of incorrect routing information which can eventually lead to network malfunction. Even more, intermediate nodes can be corrupted, and thus, exhibit arbitrary behavior. Due to the subtle nature of attacks against routing protocols, informal reasoning about wireless routing security is an error-prone method. In this work, I develop a formal framework in which precise definitions of secure routing can be given, and secure routing protocols proposed for multi-hop wireless networks can be rigorously analysed. I demonstrate the usefulness of this framework in two ways: first, I prove the security of several existing routing protocols. Second, applying the design principles that were identified during the analyses, I propose novel routing protocols for wireless ad hoc and sensor networks and I prove that they are secure in my model.

This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nowadays, Opportunistic Routing (OR) is widely considered to be the most important paradigm for Multi-hop wireless networks (MWNs). It exploits the broadcast nature of wireless medium to propagate information from one point to another within the network. In OR scheme, when a node has new information to share, it rst needs to set its forwarding list which include the IDs and/or any relevant information to its best suited neighboring nodes. This operation is supported by the use of appropriate metrics. Then, it executes a coordination algorithm allowing transmission reliability and high throughput among the next-hop forwarders. In this paper, we provide a comprehensive guide to understand the characteristics and challenges faced in the area of opportunistic routing protocols in MWNs. Moreover, since the planet we live on is largely covered by water, OR protocols have gained much attention during the last decade in real-time aquatic applications, such as oil/chemical spill monitoring, ocean resource management, anti-submarine missions and so on. One of the major problems in Underwater Wireless Sensor Network (UWSNs) is determining an e cient and reliable routing methodology between the source node and the destination node. Therefore, designing e cient and robust routing protocols for UWSNs became an attractive topic for researchers. This paper seeks to address in detail the key factors of underwater sensor network. Furthermore, it calls into question 5 state-of-the-art routing protocols proposed for UWSN: The Depth-Based Routing protocol (DBR), the Energy-E cient Depth-Based Routing protocol (EEDBR), the Hydraulic-pressure-based anycast routing protocol (Hydrocast), the Geographic and opportunistic routing protocol with Depth Adjustment for mobile underwater sensor networks (GEDAR), and the Void- Aware Pressure Routing for underwater sensor networks (VAPR). Finally, it covers the performance of those protocol through the use of the R programming language.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wireless Mesh networks have the potential to provide inexpensive and quick access to the internet for military communications, surveillance, education, healthcare and disaster management. This work caters to the growing high-bandwidth demands by providing low delay and high throughput by designing efficient, robust routing algorithms for wireless mesh networks. Chapters 2 and 3 of this dissertation describe adaptive routing algorithms that opportunistically route the packets in the absence of reliable knowledge about channel statistics and the network model. We design two adaptive routing algorithms, Distributed Opportunistic Routing (d-AdaptOR) and No Regret Routing (NRR), which minimize the expected number of transmissions and thus improving the throughput. The remainder of the dissertation concerns with the design routing algorithms to avoid congestion in the network. In Chapter 4, we describe a Distributed Opportunistic Routing algorithm with Congestion Diversity (ORCD) which employs receiver diversity and minimizes end-end delay. In Chapter 5, we present the Congestion Diversity Protocol (CDP), a distributed routing protocol for 802.11-based multi-hop wireless networks that combines important aspects of shortest-path and back-pressure routing to achieve improved end-end delay performance. This work reports on a practical (hardware and software) implementation of CDP in an indoor Wi-Fi testbed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: "Wireless systems for industry have mostly used cellular-phone-style radio links, using point-to-point or point-to-multipoint transmission. Past research has indicated that these network architectures are not suitable for several industrial applications because of their rigid structure, meticulous planning requirements, and dropped signals. In contrast, wireless mesh networks are multi-hop systems in which devices assist each other in transmitting packets through the network, and they provide a reliable, flexible system that can be extended to thousands of devices. Some inherent advantages with mesh networks are scalability, non line-of-sight communications, high data rates, and low-cost deployment. Mesh networks have been deployed by MIT researchers and a few companies on a small scale. Mesh networks have not been deployed widely, in part because of some fundamental problems with the current protocols with regards to QoS support and scalability. To meet these requirements, the MAC protocol should be able to guarantee near constant capacity for networks of different sizes, and the routing protocol should perform admission control. Current CSMA-based MAC protocols have been shown to perform inadequately in terms of throughput and scalability in multi-hop deployments. The key problem with using protocols like IEEE 802.11 is that the link throughput is affected severely due to the exposed terminal problem, uncoordinated contentions, and wasteful backoffs. With the 802.11 MAC protocol, our results show that the capacity falls to about 1/10th for a chain and below 1/20th for a grid with horizontal constant bit rate flows. We have developed the WisperNet MAC and routing protocols, which provide end-to-end QoS guarantees over a multi-hop mesh network. By exploiting the topology information and the fact that fixed wireless nodes separated by 3 hops or more can transmit simultaneously, we eliminate collisions and maximize network utilization. The WisperNet routing protocol performs admission control. We show that the WisperNet MAC protocol can guarantee up to 9 times more capacity than IEEE 802.11, and this capacity remains nearly constant as the network grows. Also included is a performance analysis of different routing policies, and their effect on network utilization."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rapid advancements in communication and networking technologies boost the capacity of wireless networks. Multi-hop wireless networks are extremely exciting and rapidly developing areas and have been receiving an increasing amount of attention by researchers. Due to the limited transmission range of the nodes, end-to-end nodes may situate beyond direct radio transmission ranges. Intermediate nodes are required to forward data in order to enable the communication between nodes that are far apart. Routing in such networks is a critical issue. Opportunistic routing has been proposed to increase the network performance by utilizing the broadcast nature of wireless media. Unlike traditional routing, the forwarder in opportunistic routing broadcasts date packets before the selection of the next hop. Therefore, opportunistic routing can consider multiple downstream nodes as potential candidate nodes to forward data packets instead of using a dedicated next hop. Instead of simply forwarding received packets, network coding allows intermediate nodes to combine all received packets into one or more coded packets. It can further improve network throughput by increasing the transmission robustness and efficiency. In this dissertation, we will study the fundamental components, related issues and associated challenges about opportunistic routing and network coding in multi-hop wireless networks. Firstly, we focus on the performance analysis of opportunistic routing by the Discrete Time Markov Chain (DTMC). Our study demonstrates how to map packet transmissions in the network with state transitions in a Markov chain. We will consider pipelined data transfer and evaluate opportunistic routing in different wireless networks in terms of expected number of transmissions and time slots. Secondly, we will propose a regional forwarding schedule to optimize the coordination of opportunistic routing. In our coordination algorithm, the forwarding schedule is limited to the range of the transmitting node rather than among the entire set of forwarders. With such an algorithm, our proposal can increase the throughput by deeper pipelined transmissions. Thirdly, we will propose a mechanism to support TCP with opportunistic routing and network coding, which are rarely incorporated with TCP because the frequent occurrences of out-of-order arrivals in opportunistic routing and long decoding delay in network coding overpower TCP congestion control. Our solution completes the control feedback loop of TCP by creating a bridge between the sender and the receiver. The simulation result shows that our protocol significantly outperforms TCP/IP in terms of network throughput in different topologies of wireless networks.

Book excerpt: Wireless multi-hop networks have become an important part of many modern communication systems. Opportunistic routing aims to overcome the deficiencies of conventional routing on wireless multi-hop networks, by specifically utilizing wireless broadcast opportunities and receiver diversity. Opportunistic routing algorithms, which are specifically optimized to incorporate into the routing decisions a model of wireless transmission, take advantage of scheduling, multi-user, and receiver diversity gains and result in significant reduction in the expected cost of routing per packet. The ability of the algorithm to take advantage of the aspects of wireless transmission, however, depends on the scalability and the additional overhead associated with the opportunistic routing as well as the availability of side information regarding wireless channel statistics, topology, etc. This monograph sheds light on the performance gains associated with incorporating into the routing strategy the nature of wireless transmission. This monograph first provides an overview of various opportunistic distance-vector algorithms that have been developed to incorporate wireless transmission and routing opportunities. Furthermore, an optimal opportunistic distance metric is proposed whose performance is examined against the performance of several routing algorithms from the literature. The performance is examined first in analytical examples, then via simulation to identify the strengths of the optimal opportunist routing algorithm. To allow for a scalable and distributed solution, the distributed computation of this optimal distance-metric is provided. The performance of a distributed implementation of the optimal opportunistic routing algorithm is also examined via simulation. In addition to the construction of the opportunistic schemes in centralized and distributed fashions, this monograph also addresses how learning the wireless medium can be efficiently incorporated in the structure of routing algorithm. Finally, this monograph examines the dynamic congestion-based distance metric and its performance against other congestion aware solutions in the literature.

Book excerpt: So-called Intent-Based Networking (IBN) is founded on well-known SDN (Software-Defined Networking) and represents one of the most important emerging network infrastructure opportunities. The IBN is the beginning of a new era in the history of networking, where the network itself translates business intentions into appropriate network configurations for all devices. This minimizes manual effort, provides an additional layer of network monitoring, and provides the ability to perform network analytics and take full advantage of machine learning. The centralized, software-defined solution provides process automation and proactive problem solving as well as centralized management of the network infrastructure. With software-based network management, many operations can be performed automatically using intelligent control algorithms (artificial intelligence and machine learning). As a result, network operation costs, application response times and energy consumption are reduced, network reliability and performance are improved, network security and flexibility are enhanced. This will be a benefit for existing networks as well as evolved LTE-based mobile networks, emerging Internet of Things (IoT), Cloud systems, and soon for the future 5G/6G networks.
