چکیده

This article presents an integrated admission control and routing mechanism for multi-rate wireless mesh networks. Admission control depends on precise estimates of available bandwidth at involved nodes and the bandwidth consumption required by a new flow. Estimating these parameters in wireless networks is challenging due to the shared and open nature of the wireless channel. Existing available bandwidth estimation techniques do not accurately consider interference from neighboring nodes and flow bandwidth requirement estimates or overly conservative, restricting opportunities for parallel transmission due to spatial reuse. We propose the DCSPT method for available bandwidth estimation, based on dual carrier sensing with parallel transmission awareness. We also introduce a packet probing-based available bandwidth estimation method, suitable for legacy device implementations, and verify it experimentally. These techniques are integrated in an admission control mechanism designed for a hop-by-hop routing protocol (LUNAR). enabling alternate route identification when shortest paths are congested. Our protocol uses temporal accounting to enable bandwidth estimation across links using different bit-rates. Simulation results demonstrate that our admission control mechanism can effectively control the traffic load while considering parallel transmission opportunities, leading to cumulative system throughput improvements up to 80%. We further show that additional gains in system throughput come without significant cost in terms of packet delivery ratio or end-to-end delay and discuss our implementation experience on the ORBIT wireless research testbed. 2008 Elsevier B.V.

A Novel Multicast Tree Construction Algorithm for Multi-Radio Multi-Channel Wireless Mesh Networks

Many appealing multicast services such as on-demand TV, teleconference, online games and etc. can benefit from high available bandwidth in multi-radio multi-channel wireless mesh networks. When multiple simultaneous transmissions use a similar channel to transmit data packets, network performance degrades to a large extant. Designing a good multicast tree to route data packets could enhance the...

Flow admission control for multi-channel multi-radio wireless networks

Providing Quality of Service (QoS) is a major challenge in wireless networks. In this paper we propose a distributed call admission control protocol (DCAC) to do both bandwidth and delay guaranteed call admission for multihop wireless mesh backbone networks, by exploiting the multi-channel multi-radio (mc-mr) feature. We propose a novel routing metric for route setup, and present an efficient d...

Improving Quality of Service Routing in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks Using OLSR

Mobile ad hoc networks (MANET) are constructed by mobile nodes without access point. Since MANET has certain constraints, including power shortages, an unstable wireless environment and node mobility, more power-efficient and reliable routing protocols are needed. The OLSR protocol is an optimization of the classical link state algorithm. OLSR introduces an interesting concept, the multipoint r...

Joint routing, scheduling and admission control protocol for WiMAX networks

In WiMax networks the routing and the scheduling are tightly coupled. The routing and scheduling problem for WiMAX networks is different from 802.11 based mesh networks and can be designed and operated separately. Standard problems in wireless systems include Bandwidth allocation and Connection Admission Control (CAC). In this paper we design a joint routing, scheduling and admission control pr...
