Routing over Bursty Wireless Links

چکیده
Accurate estimation of link quality is the key to enable efficient routing in wireless sensor networks. Current link estimators focus mainly on identifying long-term stable links for routing, leaving out a potentiality large set of intermediate links offering significant routing progress. Fine-grained analysis of link qualities reveals that such intermediate links are bursty, i.e., stable in the short term. In this paper, we use short-term estimation of wireless links to accurately identify short-term stable periods of transmission on bursty links. Our approach allows a routing protocol to forward packets over bursty links if they offer better routing progress than long-term stable links. We integrate a Short Term Link Estimator and its associated routing strategy with a standard routing protocol for sensor networks. Our evaluation reveals an average of 22% reduction in the overall transmissions when routing over long-range bursty links. Our approach is not tied to any special routing protocol and integrates seamlessly with existing routing protocols and link estimators.

Exploiting the Burstiness of Intermediate-Quality Wireless Links
We address the challenge of link estimation and routing over highly dynamic links, thats is, bursty links that rapidly shift between reliable and unreliable periods of transmissions. Based on significant empirical evidence of over 100,000 transmissions over each link in 802.15.4 and 802.11 testbeds, we propose two metrics, expected future transmissions (EFT) and MAC3, for runtime estimation of ...

In this paper, we propose a stochastic bursty-link model to simulate bursty behavior observed in wireless communications. Our stochastic bursty-link model works at the frame level where the probability of correctly receiving a frame is dependent on the results of previous transmissions. To accomplish this, our model uses a bursty probability adjustment function to adjust the probability of corr...

Efficient and reliable communication is the key to enable multihop wireless networks such as sensornets, meshnets and MANETs. Unlike wired networks, communication links in wireless networks are highly dynamic and pose additional challenges. Network protocols, besides establishing routing paths between two nodes, must overcome link dynamics and the resulting shift in the network topology. Hence,...
