Survivable wireless networking — autonomic bandwidth sharing in mesh networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
Mesh networking has recently received considerable attention, largely as a mechanism for providing enhanced connectivity without the need to install additional expensive infrastructure. It relies on the fact that underutilised local area connectivity can be used to connect constrained devices to those that possess wide-area uplink capabilities. However, at present, proposals for uplink bandwidth sharing are limited by the use of a traditional view of routing in which multiple end-user devices are associated with each individual uplink in such a way that all their off-network traffic is routed through that particular gateway. While this has the merit of simplicity, it is possible for a subset of gateways to be overloaded while others remain underutilised. We propose a new type of local mesh network, called the Coalition Peering Domain, the goal of which is to maximise Internet connectivity dynamically, smoothing out the usage of uplink capacity, albeit at the cost of slightly more complex control and management. Within this paper, we describe three main routing and addressing issues and then propose novel mechanisms that partially address those issues.

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...

متن کاملTraffic grooming for survivable WDM networks - shared protection
This paper investigates the survivable trafficgrooming problem for optical mesh networks employing wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM). In the dynamic-provisioning context, a typical connection request may require bandwidth less than that of a wavelength channel, and it may also require protection from network failures, typically fiber cuts. Based on a generic grooming-node architecture, we ...
