Hybrid performance modelling of opportunistic networks
We demonstrate the modelling of opportunistic networks using the process
algebra stochastic HYPE. Network traffic is modelled as continuous flows,
contact between nodes in the network is modelled stochastically, and
instantaneous decisions are modelled as discrete events. Our model describes a
network of stationary video sensors with a mobile ferry which collects data
from the sensors and delivers it to the base station. We consider different
mobility models and different buffer sizes for the ferries. This case study
illustrates the flexibility and expressive power of stochastic HYPE. We also
discuss the software that enables us to describe stochastic HYPE models and
simulate them.Comment: In Proceedings QAPL 2012, arXiv:1207.055
Delay analysis and time-critical protocol design for in-vehicle power line communication systems
With the emerging automated tasks in vehicle domain, the development of in-vehicle communications is increasingly important and subjected to new applications. The use of vehicular power lines has been a promising alternative to invehicle communications because of elimination of extra data cables. In this paper, we focus on the latest HomePlug Green PHY (HPGP) and explore its opportunity to support timecritical in-vehicle applications. Specifically, we apply Network Calculus to evaluate the worst access and queuing delay of various priority flows in vehicle bus networks. In order to maximize the bandwidth utility and satisfy the end-to-end hard delay requirements, we further propose a bandwidth efficient fair rate scheduling and delay sensitive traffic shaper. Performance evaluation supplemented by numerical and simulation results is also provided to show the advantage of HPGP and the proposed traffic shaper over the existing industry solutions
