A Framework of Efficient Hybrid Model and Optimal Control for Multihop Wireless Networks

The performance of multihop wireless networks (MWN) is normally studied via simulation over a fixed time horizon using a steady-state type of statistical analysis procedure. However, due to the dynamic nature of network connectivi- ty and nonstationary traffic, such an approach may be inap- propriate as the network may spend most time in a transien- t/nonstationary state. Moreover, the majority of the simu- lators suffer from scalability issues. In this work, we presents a performance modeling framework for analyzing the time varying behavior of MWN. Our framework is a hybrid mod- el of time varying connectivity matrix and nonstationary network queues. Network connectivity is captured using s- tochastic modeling of adjacency matrix by considering both wireless link quality and node mobility. Nonstationary net- work queues behavior are modeled using fluid flow based differential equations. In terms of the computational time, the hybrid fluid-based model is a more scalable tool than the standard simulator. Furthermore, an optimal control strategy is proposed on the basis of the hybrid model

An efficient hybrid model and dynamic performance analysis for multihop wireless networks

Multihop wireless networks can be subjected to nonstationary phenomena due to a dynamic network topology and time varying traffic. However, the simulation techniques used to study multihop wireless networks focus on the steady-state performance even though transient or nonstationary periods will often occur. Moreover, the majority of the simulators suffer from poor scalability. In this paper, we develop an efficient performance modeling technique for analyzing the time varying queueing behavior of multihop wireless networks. The one-hop packet transmission (service) time is assumed to be deterministic, which could be achieved by contention-free transmission, or approximated in sparse or lightly loaded multihop wireless networks. Our model is a hybrid of time varying adjacency matrix and fluid flow based differential equations, which represent dynamic topology changes and nonstationary network queues, respectively. Numerical experiments show that the hybrid fluid based model can provide reasonably accurate results much more efficiently than standard simulators. Also an example application of the modeling technique is given showing the nonstationary network performance as a function of node mobility, traffic load and wireless link quality. © 2013 IEEE

A time dependent performance model for multihop wireless networks with CBR traffic

In this paper, we develop a performance modeling technique for analyzing the time varying network layer queueing behavior of multihop wireless networks with constant bit rate traffic. Our approach is a hybrid of fluid flow queueing modeling and a time varying connectivity matrix. Network queues are modeled using fluid-flow based differential equation models which are solved using numerical methods, while node mobility is modeled using deterministic or stochastic modeling of adjacency matrix elements. Numerical and simulation experiments show that the new approach can provide reasonably accurate results with significant improvements in the computation time compared to standard simulation tools. © 2010 IEEE
