With the further development and utilization of space resource, space communications nowadays are increasingly becoming irreplaceable networking technologies for highresolution earth observation, satellite navigation and deep space exploration where big data is produced. This has created great challenges in ensuring the security and reliability of some sensitive data. In order to solve some problems...
Wireless Sensor networks (WSNs) is a novel technology and hot research field about acquiring and processing information, which gradually gets the focus from the industries and academia in recent years and has a great application future in the military and civil area. WSNs is commonly deployed in harsh and unattended environment,together with the intrinsic limitation of sensor nodes, the entire network...
In the IEEE 802.16j multi-hop relay (MR) network, the design of an effective path selection scheme is an important issue for throughput gain and overhead reduction. This paper proposes a new metric, called SEL, to evaluate the possible relay paths and thereby determine the appropriate one among these paths. SEL mainly considers both link spectral efficiency and link load, and based on SEL, a comprising...
An opportunistic network is a type of challenged network that has attracted a great deal of attention in recent years. While a number of schemes have been proposed to facilitate data dissemination in opportunistic networks, there is an implicit assumption that each participating peer behaves collaboratively. Consequently, these schemes may be vulnerable if there are uncooperative or malicious peers...
Using first-order prediction coding to compress the data that collected by sensor nodes can bring down redundant information and greatly reduce the amount of data transmission in network. The simulation results show that compressing data by improved prediction coding can reduce energy consumption significantly and prolong the whole lifetime of wireless sensor network.
Recent research in network coding shows that, joint consideration of both coding and routing strategies may lead to higher information transmission rates than routing only. A fundamental question in the field of network coding is: how large can the throughput improvement due to network coding be? In this paper, we prove that in undirected networks, the ratio of achievable multicast throughput with...
Data communication in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) exhibits distinctive characteristics. Routing in WSNs still relies on simple variations of traditional distance vector or link state based protocols, thus suffering low throughput and less robustness. Drawing intuitions from the Brownian motions where localized momentum exchanges enable global energy diffusion, we propose an innovative routing...
Coding advantage refers to the potential for network coding to improve end-to-end throughput or reduce routing cost. How large can the coding advantage be? We investigate this fundamental question in the classic undirected network model. So far, all known networks where such potential exists are based on a special class of topologies known as combinatorial networks. We try to prove a rather small...
Network coding is known to improve throughput by mixing information from different flows and conveying more information in each transmission. Recently some proposals have demonstrated the benefits of applying network coding to wireless networks with broadcast transmissions. It is expected that the opportunities for coding and the corresponding gains depend on the bit-rate chosen for determining routes...
Most routing protocols in disruption tolerant networks (DTN) use redundant transmissions to explore the diversities in routing paths in order to reduce data transmission delay. However, mobile nodes in DTN usually have limited energy and may prefer fewer transmissions for longer lifetime. Hence, it is vital to carefully balance the tradeoff between data transmission delay and the amount of transmissions...
This paper explores the attributes, layering models and objective functions in cross layer designs for mobile ad hoc wireless networks by taking all the statistical characteristics and constraints from the physical (PHY) layer, media access control (MAC) layer and network (NET) layer into consideration. This paper reviews the entire network optimization across all the PHY/MAC/NET layers. At the PHY...
