چکیده

This paper proposes and analyzes a Running Variance Metric performance measurement of wireless local area networks and its formal aspects. Our approach evaluates the performance of wireless local area networks in infrastructure mode as well as in ad hoc mode. The Running Variance Metric is used to discover relative traffic loads of available accesspoints/gateways at the network layer in order to provide connectivity to the wired network. The paper discusses a simulation study. The simulation results demonstrate the usefulness and efficiency of the Running Variance Metric to evaluate the utilization of available access-points/gateways. It is also shown that this metric can be used for hop-analysis in multi-hop ad hoc wireless networks.

Target Tracking with Unknown Maneuvers Using Adaptive Parameter Estimation in Wireless Sensor Networks

Abstract- Tracking a target which is sensed by a collection of randomly deployed, limited-capacity, and short-ranged sensors is a tricky problem and, yet applicable to the empirical world. In this paper, this challenge has been addressed a by introducing a nested algorithm to track a maneuvering target entering the sensor field. In the proposed nested algorithm, different modules are to fulfill...

Packet concatenation at the IP level for performance enhancement in wireless local area networks

Wireless local area networks experience performance degradation in presence of small packets. The main reason for that is the large overhead added at the physical and link layers. This paper proposes a concatenation algorithm which groups IP layer packets prior to transmission, called PAC-IP. As a result, the overhead added at the physical and the link layers is shared among the grouped packets...

Beyond Interoperability – Pushing the Performance of Sensor Network IP Stacks

Interoperability is essential for the commercial adoption of wireless sensor networks. However, existing sensor network architectures have been developed in isolation and thus interoperability has not been a concern. Recently, IP has been proposed as a solution to the interoperability problem of low-power and lossy networks (LLNs), considering its open and standards-based architecture at the ne...
