Performance improvement of ad hoc networks using directional antennas
We investigate preventive link maintenance scheme to on-demand routing
algorithms. The scheme of creating directional link is proposed to extend the life of link
that is about to break. We see the performance improvement at network layer by using the
proposed scheme. We do a comparative performance study between omni directional and
directional antennas for DSR (On-demand routing protocol) using simulation with OPNET.
By using directional antennas, substantial gain is achieved in terms of end-to-end delay,
aggregate throughput, average data packets dropped, packet delivery ratio, and routing
overhead. The proposed scheme is general and can be used with any other on-demand
routing algorithms
An enhanced approach for augmentation of synchronized bandwidth request in WiMAX
This paper carried out a study on the bandwidth request for real-time polling
services. In our study, we discovered that although the base station granted the subscriber
station to send the bandwidth request, the subscriber station may not be able to allocate
the bandwidth request. It is due to processing delay and multicast polling in the subscriber
station, which results the bandwidth request being padded unintentionally. The loss of
bandwidth requests will cause the degradation of the real-time polling service
performance. Therefore, we propose a scheme to overcome this problem. The results of
the experiment show that the proposed scheme improves the performance of real-time
polling services
