Performance Analysis of Traffic and Mobility Models on Mobile and Vehicular Ad Hoc Wireless Networks
Advances in wireless communication technology and the proliferation of mobile devices enable the capa-
bilities of communicating with each other even in areas with no pre-existing communication infrastructure.
Traffic and mobility models play an important role in evaluating the performance of these communication
networks. Despite criticism and assumption from various researches on Transmission Control Protocols
(TCP), weaknesses on Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET), and Vehicular Ad Hoc Network (VANET).
A simulation was carried out to evaluate the performance of Constant Bit Rate, Variable Bit Rate and
Transmission Control Protocol on MANET and VANET using DSR routing protocol. CBR, VBR, and TCP
have different manufacturer operation mechanisms and these differences lead to significant performance
of CBR and VBR over TCP with better throughput and less average maximal end-to-end delay. DSR
was able to respond to link failure at low mobility which led to TCPâs performance in packets delivery
A novel middleware for the mobility management over the Internet
The features of mobility, which enormously impact on how communication is evolving into the future, represent a particular challenge in todayâs wireless networking research. After an identification and evaluation of the gap between the discontinuities of the communication service inherent to the physical layer of mobile networks and the continuity requirements issue from the stream centric multimedia applications, we propose a novel middleware 3MOI (Middleware for the Mobility Management Over the Internet) which can perform efficient and context-aware mobility management and satisfy new mobility requirements such as dynamical location management, fast handover, and continuous connection support
Scalable QoS-aware Mobility for Future Mobile Operators
Telecom operators and Internet service providers
are heading for a new shift in communications
paradigms. The forthcoming convergence
of cellular and wireless data networks is often
manifested in an âall IP approachâ in which all
communications are based on an end-to-end IP
protocol framework. The approach to network
design becomes user and service-centered, so
that continuous reachability of mobile users and
sustained communication capabilities are default
requirements for a prospective architecture. In
this article, we describe a network architecture
which is able to provide seamless communication
mobility, triggered either by the user or by the
network, across multiple technologies. The architecture
allows for media independent handovers
and supports optimized mobility and resource
management functions. The main focus of the
article is on major technical highlights of mobility
and quality-of-service (QoS) management subsystems
for converged networks.Publicad
Roaming Real-Time Applications - Mobility Services in IPv6 Networks
Emerging mobility standards within the next generation Internet Protocol,
IPv6, promise to continuously operate devices roaming between IP networks.
Associated with the paradigm of ubiquitous computing and communication, network
technology is on the spot to deliver voice and videoconferencing as a standard
internet solution. However, current roaming procedures are too slow, to remain
seamless for real-time applications. Multicast mobility still waits for a
convincing design. This paper investigates the temporal behaviour of mobile
IPv6 with dedicated focus on topological impacts. Extending the hierarchical
mobile IPv6 approach we suggest protocol improvements for a continuous
handover, which may serve bidirectional multicast communication, as well. Along
this line a multicast mobility concept is introduced as a service for clients
and sources, as they are of dedicated importance in multipoint conferencing
applications. The mechanisms introduced do not rely on assumptions of any
specific multicast routing protocol in use.Comment: 15 pages, 5 figure
Performance evaluation for high speed vehicle in VANET
Vehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANETs) is a high dynamic emerging technology for supporting wireless communication among vehicles. Communication via routing packets over the high-speed vehicles is a challenging task. Vehicles mobility speed can varies depending on the road specification. However in highways speed can be increased up to 120 â 200 Km/hr. moving in high speed can affect the efficiency of data delivery. In particular V2I traffic where moving car trying to deliver data to fixed space units which are designed to collected and process data from vehicles. In this paper, we investigated the consequences on increasing vehicle mobility speed in term of data delivery evaluation metrics including network throughput, delay and packet delivery ration. Results shows that in high speed mobility VANET, network throughput it decreased, and packet delivery ration is decreased as well
M-ATTEMPT: A New Energy-Efficient Routing Protocol for Wireless Body Area Sensor Networks
In this paper, we propose a new routing protocol for heterogeneous Wireless
Body Area Sensor Networks (WBASNs); Mobility-supporting Adaptive
Threshold-based Thermal-aware Energy-efficientMulti-hop ProTocol (M-ATTEMPT). A
prototype is defined for employing heterogeneous sensors on human body. Direct
communication is used for real-time traffic (critical data) or on-demand data
while Multi-hop communication is used for normal data delivery. One of the
prime challenges in WBASNs is sensing of the heat generated by the implanted
sensor nodes. The proposed routing algorithm is thermal-aware which senses the
link Hot-spot and routes the data away from these links. Continuous mobility of
human body causes disconnection between previous established links. So,
mobility support and energy-management is introduced to overcome the problem.
Linear Programming (LP) model for maximum information extraction and minimum
energy consumption is presented in this study. MATLAB simulations of proposed
routing algorithm are performed for lifetime and successful packet delivery in
comparison with Multi-hop communication. The results show that the proposed
routing algorithm has less energy consumption and more reliable as compared to
Multi-hop communication.Comment: arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:1208.609
The Dynamics of Vehicular Networks in Urban Environments
Vehicular Ad hoc NETworks (VANETs) have emerged as a platform to support
intelligent inter-vehicle communication and improve traffic safety and
performance. The road-constrained, high mobility of vehicles, their unbounded
power source, and the emergence of roadside wireless infrastructures make
VANETs a challenging research topic. A key to the development of protocols for
inter-vehicle communication and services lies in the knowledge of the
topological characteristics of the VANET communication graph. This paper
explores the dynamics of VANETs in urban environments and investigates the
impact of these findings in the design of VANET routing protocols. Using both
real and realistic mobility traces, we study the networking shape of VANETs
under different transmission and market penetration ranges. Given that a number
of RSUs have to be deployed for disseminating information to vehicles in an
urban area, we also study their impact on vehicular connectivity. Through
extensive simulations we investigate the performance of VANET routing protocols
by exploiting the knowledge of VANET graphs analysis.Comment: Revised our testbed with even more realistic mobility traces. Used
the location of real Wi-Fi hotspots to simulate RSUs in our study. Used a
larger, real mobility trace set, from taxis in Shanghai. Examine the
implications of our findings in the design of VANET routing protocols by
implementing in ns-3 two routing protocols (GPCR & VADD). Updated the
bibliography section with new research work
Performance Analysis of Multicast Mobility in a Hierarchical Mobile IP Proxy Environment
Mobility support in IPv6 networks is ready for release as an RFC, stimulating
major discussions on improvements to meet real-time communication requirements.
Sprawling hot spots of IP-only wireless networks at the same time await voice
and videoconferencing as standard mobile Internet services, thereby adding the
request for multicast support to real-time mobility. This paper briefly
introduces current approaches for seamless multicast extensions to Mobile IPv6.
Key issues of multicast mobility are discussed. Both analytically and in
simulations comparisons are drawn between handover performance characteristics,
dedicating special focus on the M-HMIPv6 approach.Comment: 11 pages, 7 figure
