Survivable millimeter-wave mesh networks

چکیده
Millimeter-wave mesh networks have the potential to provide cost-effective highbandwidth solutions to many current bandwidth-constrained networks including cellular backhaul. However, the availability of such networks is severely limited due to their susceptibility to weather, such as precipitation and humidity. In this paper, we present a rigorous approach to survivable millimeter-wave mesh networks based on experimentation, modeling, and simulation. Individual link performance is characterised using frame error-rate measurements from millimeterwave transmissions on test links over a period of one year. A geometric model based on radar-reflectivity data is used to characterise rain storms and determine their impact on spatially correlated links of a mesh network. To mitigate the impact of link impairments on network services, we present two cross-layered routing protocols to route around the failures: P-WARP (Predictive Weather-Assisted Routing Protocol) and XL-OSPF (Cross-Layered Open Shortest-Path First). We conduct a performance analysis of the proposed mesh network under the presence of actual weather events as recorded by the US National Weather Service. Results show that the proposed approach yields the highest dependability when compared against existing routing methods.

Basic Mathematical Programming Models for Capacity Allocation in Mesh-based Survivable Networks
Designing a low cost, survivable, telecommunications network is an extremely complicated process. Most commercial products available to help with this process are based on simulation and/or proprietary heuristics. However, there is a growing consensus that mathematical programming belongs in the designer’s “toolkit.” Easyto-use modeling languages coupled with powerful optimization solvers have ...
متن کاملSpare Capacity Planning for Survivable Mesh Networks
The design of survivable mesh based STM networks has received considerable attention in recent years and is a complex multiconstraint optimization problem. In this paper, a new spare capacity planning methodology is proposed utilizing genetic algorithms. The method is based on forcing flows/traffic which are on paths that are disjoint to share backup spare capacity. The major advantages of the ...

متن کاملAnalysis of Optimal Sets of Survivable Paths in Undirected Simple Graph Applicable for Optical Networks
In this work we introduce and describe optimal sets of survivable paths defined on an undirected simple graph G. An optimal set of survivable paths in G corresponds to a set of mesh-restored lightpaths in an optical network that minimizes the number of optical channels. We present several fundamental properties of optimal sets of survivable paths in G.
