Network coding for quality of service in wireless multi-hop networks / Codage réseau pour la qualité de service dans les réseaux sans fil multi-sauts

Benfattoum, Youghourta 15 November 2012 (has links)
Dans cette thèse, nous nous intéressons à l’application du codage réseau pour garantir la qualité de service (QoS) dans les réseaux sans fil multi-sauts. Comme le support de transmission est partagé, les réseaux sans fil souffrent de l’impact négatif des interférences sur la bande passante. Il est alors intéressant de proposer une approche basée sur le codage réseau qui prenne en compte ces interférences durant le processus de routage. Dans ce contexte, nous proposons d’abord un algorithme minimisant l’impact des interférences pour des flux unicast tout en respectant la bande passante qu’ils exigent. Puis, nous le combinons avec le codage réseau afin d’augmenter le nombre des flux acceptés et avec le contrôle de topologie pour améliorer davantage la gestion des interférences. Nous montrons par simulation l’intérêt de combiner les trois domaines : codage réseau, gestion des interférences et contrôle de topologie. Nous abordons également la gestion du délai pour les flux multicast et utilisons le codage réseau basé sur les générations (GBNC) qui combine les paquets par bloc. La plupart des travaux portant sur le GBNC considèrent une taille de génération fixe mais à cause des variations de l’état du réseau le délai de décodage et de récupération du bloc de paquets peut varier, dégradant la QoS. Pour résoudre ce problème, nous proposons une méthode qui ajuste la taille de la génération de façon dynamique pour respecter un certain délai de décodage avec prise en compte des contextes réseau et contenu. De plus, nous améliorons notre approche pour contrecarrer les pertes des acquittements. Puis, nous proposons de l’utiliser dans un réseau de domicile pour la diffusion de vidéo à la demande. Notre solution améliore la QoS et la qualité d’expérience pour l’utilisateur final sans équipement additionnel. Finalement, nous abordons un sujet plus théorique dans lequel nous présentons un nouveau réseau basé sur le schéma Butterfly pour des flux multi-sources multi-destinations. Nous caractérisons la taille du buffer du nœud source en utilisant la théorie des files d’attente et montrons qu’elle correspond aux résultats de simulation. / In this thesis we deal with the application of Network Coding to guarantee the Quality of Service (QoS) for wireless multi-hop networks. Since the medium is shared, wireless networks suffer from the negative interference impact on the bandwidth. It is thus interesting to propose a Network Coding based approach that takes into account this interference during the routing process. In this context, we first propose an algorithm minimizing the interference impact for unicast flows while respecting their required bandwidth. Then, we combine it with Network Coding to increase the number of admitted flows and with Topology Control to still improve the interference management. We show by simulation the benefit of combining the three fields: Network Coding, interference consideration and Topology Control. We also deal with delay management for multicast flows and use the Generation-Based Network Coding (GBNC) that combines the packets per blocks. Most of the works on GBNC consider a fixed generation size. Because of the network state variations, the delay of decoding and recovering a block of packets can vary accordingly degrading the QoS. To solve this problem, we propose a network-and content-aware method that adjusts the generation size dynamically to respect a certain decoding delay. We also enhance it to overcome the issue of acknowledgement loss. We then propose to apply our approach in a Home Area Network for Live TV and video streaming. Our solution provides QoS and Quality of Experience for the end user with no additional equipment. Finally, we focus on a more theoretical work in which we present a new Butterfly-based network for multi-source multi-destination flows. We characterize the source node buffer size using the queuing theory and show that it matches the simulation results.

Reproducibility and Applicability of a Fuzzy-based Routing Algorithm in Wireless Sensor Networks

Rönningen, Hannes, Olofsson, Erik January 2023 (has links)
Wireless sensor networks is a broad subject with many applications and interesting research areas, such as optimization within connectivity and energy efficiency. One problem is that most published articles in this field use customized simulation environments and do not provide source code of their implementation. By not including aspects of implementation, it becomes difficult to determine how the results are achieved, which questions the validity and reliability of the works. This thesis aims to reproduce one of these researched methods, an algorithm that balances battery life with efficient routing within a network using fuzzy logic, with the goal to increase the reliability of the methodology within its field. The research question constructed on the foundation of these premises is thus “Is reproducibility satisfactory in a research work on a multi-objective routing algorithm, using fuzzy logic, in wireless sensor networks?, a case study by Minhas et al”. Two additional research questions emerge from the first one: “How does the reproduced algorithm perform in comparison to a selection of dif erent routing algorithms?” and “Is the reproduced algorithm, as is, applicable to a less idealistic environment?” To answer the research questions a computer simulation method is used to build, execute, and analyze the output of the algorithms. The results show that the implemented algorithm performs noticeably better in both lifetime and ratio to the shortest path compared with the original implementation, hinting towards the implementation and reproducibility deviating from expected results. The reproduced algorithm is also compared to two other algorithms under a different simulation environment, where it performs better in lifetime and packet delivery rate whilst performing slightly worse in energy efficiency and total energy consumption. Due to the significant differences in performance against the reproduced article’s implementation the study concludes that the reproducibility is not satisfactory. Lastly, it concludes that it does not perform well in a less idealistic simulation environment, making it less applicable.
