Orientadores: Edmundo Roberto Mauro Madeira, Islene Calciolari Garcia / Dissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Instituto de Computação / Made available in DSpace on 2018-08-16T05:02:35Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 Chaves_LucianoJerez_M.pdf: 4144968 bytes, checksum: 7062e66cb3db67a161adbe3ef29be0b2 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2010 / Resumo: A utilização das redes sem fio vem se tornando cada vez mais frequente, e o IEEE 802.11 é o padrão escolhido pela maioria dos dispositivos. Com o objetivo de adaptar-se às condições instáveis dos canais de transmissão sem fio, este padrão especifica diversos esquemas de codificação e modulação de dados que devem ser, obrigatoriamente, implementados pelas interfaces sem fio. Como conseqüência, essas interfaces passam a suportar múltiplas taxas de transmissão, definidas em função da combinação entre a codificação e a modulação utilizada. Entretanto, não faz parte da especificação o processo para a escolha dinâmica de qual taxa de transmissão utilizar, deixando livre para os fabricantes a definição de um algoritmo para solucionar este problema, conhecido por adaptação automática da taxa de transmissão. Apesar de diversas soluções terem sido propostas na literatura, o desempenho alcançado por elas está limitado por fatores como a dificuldade na estimativa da qualidade do canal e o compartilhamento injusto dos recursos entre as estações da rede. Para lidar com estes desafios, este trabalho apresenta um mecanismo cognitivo para adaptação automática da taxa de transmissão denominado Cognitive Rate Adaptation (CORA). Este é um mecanismo completamente distribuído, capaz de equipar as estações da rede com as funcionalidades de autoconfiguração e auto-otimização da taxa de transmissão. O CORA é capaz de reagir rapidamente às mudanças nas condições do canal para evitar a degradação do desempenho, além de convergir para a melhor taxa de transmissão durante os períodos de estabilidade. Para isso, o mecanismo utiliza uma abordagem simplista para avaliar a qualidade do canal sem fio, além de apresentar características específicas que contribuem com a justiça no compartilhamento dos recursos entre as estações. O mecanismo proposto é avaliado através de simulações, e os resultados são comparados com algumas soluções existentes na literatura e também com algoritmos utilizados nos dispositivos comerciais. Os resultados obtidos confirmam o bom desempenho do mecanismo proposto em relação aos demais algoritmos avaliados / Abstract: Wireless networks have become frequently used nowadays, and IEEE 802.11 is the standard chosen for practically all devices. Aiming to adapt to changing conditions of wireless channels, this standard specifies several modulation and coding schemes that must be implemented by all wireless interfaces. As a result, these interfaces can support multiple data rates, which are named according to the selected modulation and coding schemes. However, this standard does not define how to dynamically select the transmission rate to be used, allowing manufacturers to create and implement their own algorithm to solve this problem, known as the rate adaptation problem. Despite that several solutions have been proposed in the literature, the performance achieved by them is limited by factors such as the difficulty in estimating wireless channel conditions and unfair resource sharing among network nodes. In order to tackle these challenges, this work introduces a cognitive mechanism for rate adaptation called CORA. This is a completely distributed mechanism, capable of equipping network stations with self-configuration functionality to dynamically adapt the data rate. This mechanism is also able to quickly react to changes on channel conditions in order to avoid performance degradation, and can converge to the best data rate during periods of stability. To do this, CORA makes use of a simplistic approach for assessing the channel conditions, besides presenting specific features that may ensure fair resource sharing among nodes. The proposed mechanism is evaluated by simulations, and the results are compared with some solutions existing in the literature and also with algorithms that are used in commercial devices. Simulation results confirm performance benefits with respect to the other rate adaptation algorithms evaluated / Mestrado / Redes de Computadores / Mestre em Ciência da Computação

Problem med trådlösa nätverk

Pettersson, Jack, Jansson, Frida January 2014 (has links)
Målet med detta arbete har varit att besvara frågan; ”Varför uppstår det så mycket problem med trådlösa nätverk?”. Detta har gjorts genom att studera relevant litteratur för att sedan kunna utföra två egna studier: en enkätundersökning och tre experiment. Teorin har framförallt hämtats ur kurser och material från Cisco. Undersökningen har hjälpt till att fastställa den generella datoranvändarens kunskaper om trådlösa nätverk. Respondenternas kunskapsnivå visade bland annat på skillnader i hur de använde sin utrustning; de med lägre kunskap om nätverk gick sällan eller aldrig in i sin routers webbgränssnitt. Det vanligaste problemet som uppgavs i undersökningen var en långsam trådlös hastighet; att uppleva svårigheter vid konfigurationen av en ny trådlös router visade sig däremot vara det mest ovanliga. Experimenten genomfördes med hjälp av två accesspunkter och två klientdatorer. De visade bland annat hur kanalöverlappning i trådlösa nätverk leder till minskad hastighet, och betonade även vikten av att välja rätt kanal. Avslutningsvis kunde vi konstatera att varken konsumenten eller teknikindustrin ensidigt kan beskyllas för problemen inom trådlösa nätverk. Båda två har enskilda saker att jobba på. Konsumenterna bör i allt högre grad ta reda på mer om den utrustning de använderför att undvika att ställa till problem, inte bara för sig själv men också för andra. Industrin skulle kunna underlätta genom att dra ner utvecklandet av nya standarder – och inte enbart fokusera på ökad genomströmningshastighet. / The goal with this research has been to answer the question; ”Why are there so many problems linked to wireless networks?”. This has been done by studying the relevant literature to then be able to conduct two self-written studies: one survey and three laboratory experiments. The theory has been taken primarily out of courses and material from Cisco. The survey has helped to determine the knowledge of the general computer-user in regards to wireless networks. The respondents level of knowledge showed, among other things, differences in the way they used their devices; those with less network-knowledge rarely, or never, accessed their routers web-interface. The most common problem that was selected in the survey was a slow wireless speed; experiencing difficulties when configuring a new wireless router proved to be the most unusual one. The experiments were completed through the use of two access points and two computer clients. They demonstrated, among other things, how channel overlap in wireless networks leads to a reduced data-rate, and also stressed the importance of choosing the right channel. Lastly, the work revealed that neither the consumer nor the industry can be solely blamed for the problems that appear in wireless networks. Both of them have separate things towork towards. The consumers should, to a higher extent, find out more about the equipment they use to avoid causing problems, not only for themselves but also for others. The industry could help by slowing down the development of new standards – and to not only focus on achieving higher throughput-rates.

Embedded System Design for Pill Boxes with The Low Power Electronic Paper Display

Kamran, Ali January 2017 (has links)
The rapid development of technology in the health-care sector has led to the discovery of many new illnesses and improved treatments that were not possible earlier. However, many treatments and medicines for a specific disease often come with several side effects. The accuracy in treatments with an optimal result on specified targets is therefore desired with minimum side effects. This requires that the production and the usage processes should be precise. The scope of this study is not about the medicine production phase but rather on managing a medicine schedule. How many times a medicine should be taken in a day is strongly related to its dosage and following a precise timing plays a crucial role in the individual’s health. As a solution, a pill box based on a low power display (Electronic Paper Display, EPD) together with an embedded system has been introduced by the project owner (Victrix AB, Stockholm) .The pill box should have some different functions like alarms, data logging and wireless reporting. Different types of alarms including ringtone, vibration and voice recording/playing are required as well. To be able to trace the already planned timing for taking medicines, system will be able to save and report history of the past 100 days. Since every single idea for solving different parts of the problem should be tested in real system, a Quantitative Research based on experiments be used and the best possible solution be selected and implemented in the project. Studying technical material and also related works besides analyzing generated data after each experiment were a useful tool for the system integration in this work. As the result, a pill box based on an embedded system was designed and integrated successfully. A hardware platform, in form of a prototype system based on an ARM microcontroller and a compatible embedded software have been designed, improved and tested successfully and are available. At the end of this work, the low power E-paper display works properly, alarms can be set and activated, data can be saved and also sent wirelessly. Basically, the result of this project shows how an embedded system can be specialized and programmed to be able to interact with patients and e.g. nurses in order to make a stable and continuous connection between them. Most of determined goals have been achieved and some of them be changed and modified during the work. Also a few additional functions and improvements be suggested as future work.
