Linear Network Coding Based Fast Data Synchronization for Wireless Ad Hoc Networks with Controlled Topology
Fast data synchronization in wireless ad hoc networks is a challenging and
critical problem. It is fundamental for efficient information fusion, control
and decision in distributed systems. Previously, distributed data
synchronization was mainly studied in the latency-tolerant distributed
databases, or assuming the general model of wireless ad hoc networks. In this
paper, we propose a pair of linear network coding (NC) and all-to-all broadcast
based fast data synchronization algorithms for wireless ad hoc networks whose
topology is under operator's control. We consider both data block selection and
transmitting node selection for exploiting the benefits of NC. Instead of using
the store-and-forward protocol as in the conventional uncoded approach, a
compute-and-forward protocol is used in our scheme, which improves the
transmission efficiency. The performance of the proposed algorithms is studied
under different values of network size, network connection degree, and per-hop
packet error rate. Simulation results demonstrate that our algorithms
significantly reduce the times slots used for data synchronization compared
with the baseline that does not use NC.Comment: 9 pages, 9 figures, published on China Communications, vol. 19, no.

A Review of the Energy Efficient and Secure Multicast Routing Protocols for Mobile Ad hoc Networks
This paper presents a thorough survey of recent work addressing energy
efficient multicast routing protocols and secure multicast routing protocols in
Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs). There are so many issues and solutions which
witness the need of energy management and security in ad hoc wireless networks.
The objective of a multicast routing protocol for MANETs is to support the
propagation of data from a sender to all the receivers of a multicast group
while trying to use the available bandwidth efficiently in the presence of
frequent topology changes. Multicasting can improve the efficiency of the
wireless link when sending multiple copies of messages by exploiting the
inherent broadcast property of wireless transmission. Secure multicast routing
plays a significant role in MANETs. However, offering energy efficient and
secure multicast routing is a difficult and challenging task. In recent years,
various multicast routing protocols have been proposed for MANETs. These
protocols have distinguishing features and use different mechanismsComment: 15 page

Space-time power scheduling of MIMO links? fairness and QoS considerations
Power control, beamforming and link scheduling are all important operations to improve the power-and-spectral efficiency of networks of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) wireless links. We call a joint optimization of the above operations the space-time power scheduling (STPS) scheme. The STPS scheme is formulated as joint optimization of the transmitter covariance matrices of all active MIMO links over all dimensions of space and time, which includes the dimension of frequency as a dual form of time. In this paper, we address the proportional fair (PF) and quality-of-service (QoS) issues of the STPS scheme, which are important for networks with asymmetric topology and/or asymmetric traffic demands. Both slow fading channels and fast fading channels are considered. We demonstrate that the PF-STPS scheme provides a very attractive tradeoff between sum capacity and rate distribution for asymmetric links. We also demonstrate that the QoS-STPS scheme has a much higher power-and-spectral efficiency than the previously existing QoS based scheme that do not exploit the temporal freedom. Efficient optimization algorithms for both PF-STPS and QoS-STPS are provided. The STPS scheme is a centralized cooperative scheme which requires a scheduler. For ad hoc networks, this scheduler can be elected adaptively among eligible nodes in the network
