Numerous attributes of wireless networks, like mobility, frequent disconnections and varying channel conditions, have made it a tough task to develop networking protocols for wireless communications. In this report, we deal with numerous issues associated with both the routing layer and medium
This report considers the problem of robust topology control, routing and power control in wireless networks. We consider two aspects of robustness: topology control for robustness against device and link failures; routing and power control for robustness against traffic variations… Contents 1
The current IEEE 802.11 medium access control standard is being deployed in coffee shops, airports and even across major cities. The terminals accessing these wi-fi access points do not belong to the same entity, as in corporate networks, but are usually individually
Ad-hoc wireless networks distinguish themselves from their traditional wired counterparts by three unique characteristics: mobility, lack of infrastructure, and shared wireless channel. These properties have gained popularity in various military and civilian applications, but have also introduced challenging problems in terms of
Wireless communications has gained great popularity over the past decades. The wireless medium has many unique characteristics, which create new challenges as well as new opportunities in the communication problem. This thesis is devoted to the study of the ultimate performance limits
CMAX and max-min zPmin are two packet forwarding techniques designed to save energy wireless ad-hoc networks. Their aim is to forward packets in such a way that the network’s energy is conserved better than if they were forwarded along the path with
While it is commonly understood that 802.11a / 802.11g as 54Mbps WLANs; and 802.11b as 11Mbps WLAN, the actual achievable throughput for these standards is much lower. This thesis is focused on the evaluation of the theoretical performance of IEEE 802.11a/b/g wireless
