An Extended Network Coding Opportunity Discovery Scheme in Wireless Networks
Network coding is known as a promising approach to improve wireless network
performance. How to discover the coding opportunity in relay nodes is really
important for it. There are more coding chances, there are more times it can
improve network throughput by network coding operation. In this paper, an
extended network coding opportunity discovery scheme (ExCODE) is proposed,
which is realized by appending the current node ID and all its 1-hop neighbors'
IDs to the packet. ExCODE enables the next hop relay node to know which nodes
else have already overheard the packet, so it can discover the potential coding
opportunities as much as possible. ExCODE expands the region of discovering
coding chance to n-hops, and have more opportunities to execute network coding
operation in each relay node. At last, we implement ExCODE over the AODV
protocol, and efficiency of the proposed mechanism is demonstrated with NS2
simulations, compared to the existing coding opportunity discovery scheme.Comment: 15 pages and 7 figure
Two-Hop Routing with Traffic-Differentiation for QoS Guarantee in Wireless Sensor Networks
This paper proposes a Traffic-Differentiated Two-Hop Routing protocol for
Quality of Service (QoS) in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). It targets WSN
applications having different types of data traffic with several priorities.
The protocol achieves to increase Packet Reception Ratio (PRR) and reduce
end-to-end delay while considering multi-queue priority policy, two-hop
neighborhood information, link reliability and power efficiency. The protocol
is modular and utilizes effective methods for estimating the link metrics.
Numerical results show that the proposed protocol is a feasible solution to
addresses QoS service differenti- ation for traffic with different priorities.Comment: 13 page
