A recent approach-COPE, presented by Katti (Proc. ACM SIGCOMM 2006, pp. 243-254)-for improving the throughput of unicast traffic in wireless multihop networks exploits the broadcast nature of the wireless medium through opportunistic network coding. In this paper, we analyze throughput improvements obtained by COPE-type network coding in wireless networks from a theoretical perspective. We make two...
In this paper, we investigate how cognitive radio (CR) enabled devices can self-organize to form a tactical mesh network and operate on non-dedicated (secondary) spectrum. Each node in the network constantly senses the environment and maintains an up-to-date spectrum usage report. This report is used by a central controller (CC) to initialize the network formation. Then the other CR nodes gradually...
The capacity of wireless channels has been studied extensively by the information theory community over the years. There have been several efforts to extend this theory to multi-hop wireless networks. One approach to estimating the capacity of multihop wireless networks is to determine asymptotically how the capacity scales as the number of nodes in the network increases. In these models, the traffic...
The cognitive radio based IEEE 802.22 wireless regional area network (WRAN) is designed to operate in the under-utilized TV bands by detecting and avoiding primary TV transmission bands in a timely manner. Such networks, deployed by competing wireless service providers, would have to self-coexist by accessing different parts of the available spectrum in a distributed manner. Obviously, the goal of...
Traditionally, the channelization structure in IEEE 802.11-based wireless LANs has been fixed: Each access point (AP) is assigned one channel and all channels are equally wide. In contrast, it has recently been shown that even on commodity hardware, the channel-width can be adapted dynamically purely in software. Leveraging this capability, we study the use of dynamic-width channels, where every AP...
