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.

Book excerpt: A wireless mesh networks (WMNs) has emerged recently, WMN consist of two types of nodes mesh routers and mesh clients.WMN is dynamically self-organized and self-configured, with the nodes in the network automatically establishing and maintaining mesh connectivity among themselves. Channel assignment is a critical issue in WMN which is the mapping between the available channels and the radios at each node such that the network performance is optimized, and hence the focus of this work along with static channel assignment, multi-radio, multi-channel. Multi-radio MAC can potentially achieve higher network capacity than single-radio MAC. We design and implement a new agent (DSBCA) distributed channel assignment spanner base, the routing protocol Optimize the network performance considering the throughput, end-to-end delay, connectivity and the interference of our channel assignment algorithm.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A wireless channel is shared by all devices, in the vicinity, that are tuned to the channel, and at any given time, only one of the devices can transmit information. One way to overcome this limitation, in throughput capacity, is to use multiple orthogonal channels for different devices, that want to transmit information at the same time. In this work, we consider the use of multiple orthogonal channels in wireless data networks. We explore algorithms and protocols for such multi-channel wireless networks under two broad categories of network-wide and link-level challenges. Towards handling the network-wide issues, we consider the channel assignment and routing issues in multi-channel wireless networks. We study both single radio and multi-radio multi-channel networks. For single radio multi-channel networks, we propose a new granularity for channel assignment, that we refer to as component level channel assignment. The strategy is relatively simple, and is characterized by several impressive practical advantages. For multi-radio multi-channel networks, we propose a joint routing and channel assignment protocol, known as Lattice Routing. The protocol manages channels of the radios, for the different nodes in the network, using information about current channel conditions, and adapts itself to varying traffic patterns, in order to efficiently use the multiple channels. Through ns2 based simulations, we show how both the protocols outperform other existing protocols for multi-channel networks under different network environments. Towards handling the link-level challenges, we identify the practical challenges in achieving a high data-rate wireless link across two devices using multiple off-the-shelf wireless radios. Given that the IEEE 802.11 a/g standards define 3 orthogonal wi-fi channels in the 2.4GHz band and 12 orthogonal wi-fi channels in the 5GHz band, we answer the following question: ``can a pair of devices each equipped with 15 wi-fi radios use all the available orthogonal channels to achieve a high data-rate link operating at 600Mbps?' Surprisingly, we find through experimental evaluation that the actual observed performance when using all fifteen orthogonal channels between two devices is a mere 91Mbps. We identify the reasons behind the low performance and present Glia, a software only solution that effectively exercises all available radios. We prototype Glia and show using experimental evaluations that Glia helps achieve close to 600Mbps data-rate when using all possible wi-fi channels.

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%.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Channel assignment in multi-radio networks is a topic of great importance because the use of multiple channels and multiple radios reduces interference and increases the network throughput. The goal of our research is to design algorithms that maximize the use of available resources while providing robustness to primary users that could reclaim one or more channels. Our algorithms could be used in ad hoc networks, mesh networks, and sensor networks where nodes are equipped with multiple radios. We design algorithms for channel assignment which provide robustness to primary users without assuming an accurate primary user behavior model. We also compute bounds for capacity in grid networks and discuss how the capacity of a network changes when multiple channels are available. Since preserving energy is very important in wireless networks, we focus on algorithms that do not require powerful resources and which use a reduced number of messages.
