  3. The Basic Communication Primitive • Transmit a packet • Received by a set of nodes • Dynamically determined • Depends on physical environment at the time • and what other communication is on-going • And further constraints by the link layer • Each selects whether to retransmit • Potentially after modification • And if so, when WEI Short Course - L8 Routing

  4. Wireless Multihop Communication • Upon each transmission, one of the recipients retransmits • determined by source, by receiver, by … • on the ‘edge of the cell’ WEI Short Course - L8 Routing

  5. Why Multihop Communication? • Power! • to transmit D grows as D3 or worse • to route distance D grows linearly • Bandwidth (spatial multiplexing) • With n nodes in a single cell, each gets at most 1/n bandwidth • Many small cells => many simultaneous transmissions. • Reliability (spatial diversity) • Individual links experience interference, obstacles, and multipath effects • Even short-range “wireless wires” require human nurturing • IRDA, Bluetooth, WiFi, Cell • Provides spatial diversity and receiver diversity • rather than antenna diversity • Protocol level reliability WEI Short Course - L8 Routing

  6. WSN Communication Requirements • Local neighbor communication (1 to few) • Dissemination (1 to many) • Data Collection and Aggregation (many to 1) • Point-to-point Transfers (1 to 1) • Reliably over lossy links • At low energy (E = P*T) • Idle listening, management, monitoring • Adapting to changing conditions • With very light memory footprint WEI Short Course - L8 Routing

  8. Network Architecture – What forms the IP Link? • IP Protocols assume certain link properties • Many assume a full-broadcast domain • “Everyone can communicate with each other” • Reflexive and transitive reachability • Not ad-hoc, wireless networks • Examples • IPv6 Neighbor Discovery • IPv6 Address Autoconfiguration • ICMPv6 Redirect • DHCPv6 WEI Short Course - L8 Routing

  9. Network Architecture – PAN = IP Link Personal Area Network (PAN) Single IP Link • PAN  IPv6 Link-Local Scope • Emulate reflexive and transitive reachability • Conceivable to run existing IP-based protocols unmodified • No IP-level visibility into wireless topology • Must define subnetwork functionality mesh-under WEI Short Course - L8 Routing

  10. Network Architecture – Local Link = IP Link Personal Area Network (PAN) Multiple IP Links • Radio Range  IPv6 Link-Local Scope • IP-level visibility into link topology • Routing metrics across other link technologies • Utilize functionality defined by IP • Non-reflexive and non-transitive reachability route-over WEI Short Course - L8 Routing

  11. Multi-Hop Communication • Short-range radios & Obstructions => Multi-hop Communication is often required • i.e. Routing and Forwarding • That is what IP does! • “Mesh-under”: multi-hop communication at the link layer • Still needs routing to other links or other PANs • “Route-over”: IP routing within the PAN • 6LoWPAN supports both PAN WEI Short Course - L8 Routing

  12. IP-Based Multi-Hop • IP has always done “multi-hop” • Routers connect sub-networks to one another • The sub-networks may be the same or different physical links • Routers utilize routing tables to determine which node represents the “next hop” toward the destination • Routing protocols establish and maintain proper routing tables • Routers exchange messages with neighboring routers • Different routing protocols are used in different situations • RIP, OSPF, IGP, BGP, AODV, OLSR, … • IP routing over 15.4 links does not require additional header information at 6LoWPAN layer • Vast body of tools to support IP routing • Diagnosis, visibility, tracing, management • These need to be reinvented for meshing • IP is widely used in isolated networks too • Broad suite of security and management tools WEI Short Course - L8 Routing

  13. Terminology • There is no single-hop routing! • IP routing allows hosts in one network (IP Link) to communicate with hosts in another • Topology Formation: determining the connectivity graph, i.e., the network. • Routing: Protocols and Process for establishing what paths are used in communicating over that graph and setting up tables. • Forwarding: process of receiving messages on one interface, looking up the next hop, and transmitting them on that interface • Meshing: some combination of formation, routing, and forwarding that occurs at the link layer (L2) transparently to the network layer WEI Short Course - L8 Routing

  14. Meshing vs Routing • Conventional IP link is a full broadcast domain • Routing connects links (i.e, networks) • Many IP links have evolved from a broadcast domain to a link layer “mesh” with emulated broadcast • ethernet => switched ethernet • 802.11 => 802.11s • Utilize high bandwidth on powered links to maintain the illusion of a broadcast domain • 802.15.4 networks are limited in bandwidth and power so the emulation is quite visible. • Routing at two different layers may be in conflict • On-going IETF work in ROLL working group • Routing Over Low-Power and Lossy networks WEI Short Course - L8 Routing

  15. Classical View of Routing • Connectivity between nodes defines the network graph. • Topology formation • A Routing algorithm determines the sub-graph that is used for communication between nodes. • Route formation, path selection • Packets are forwarded from source to destination over the routing subgraph • At each node in the path, determine the recipient of the next hop • The selection at each hop is made based on the information at hand • Sender address, current address, destination address, information in the packet, information on the node. • Table-driven, source based, algorithmic, … • Who knows the route? Do you determine it as you go? WEI Short Course - L8 Routing

  16. Basic Approaches • Link state • Nodes shout (send) and listen (receive) to determine neighbor connectivity. • Each floods this information throughout (Link State Advertisement) so every node has a map (Link state data base) of the network. • Any node can determine the path or the next hop. • management protocol deals with changes in connectivity • Classic Example: OSPF • Distance vector • Nodes maintain routing information about “distance” and “direction” to destinations • Choose next hop by comparing the cost of routing through neighbors • Cost(dest D, neighbor b) = linkCost(b) + pathCost(b,D) • Management propagates routing information • Sequence numbers, etc. • Classic Example: RIP WEI Short Course - L8 Routing

  17. What’s different in WSN? • There is no a priori network graph • It is discovered by sending packets and seeing who receives them. • The link relationship is not binary. • pairs of nodes communicate with some probability that is determined by many of factors. • It is not static. • The embedding of the “network” in space is important. • Need to get information to travel between particular physical places. • But the “communication range” is not a simple function of distance. • addressing & naming • Flat EUID? Hierarchical IP? Topologically meaningful? Spatially meaningful? WEI Short Course - L8 Routing

  18. Topology Formation • Much of the “paper protocols” define connectivity graph with unit disk model • Link(A,B) iff dist(A,B) ≤ R • OK for rough calculations, but not for protocol design • Nearby nodes may not be able to communicate. • Far away nodes may be able to communicate. • Nodes that communicated in the past may not be able to communicate in the future. • Nodes may have intermittent communication depending on external factors. • Connectivity is determined by communication • If B receives packet reasonably reliably from A, then A  B • If A receives packet reasonably reliably from B, then A  B • And if both are true, A  B R WEI Short Course - L8 Routing

  19. Wireless Routing Protocols • Many wireless protocols in the IP context have been development in the IETF MANET (Mobile Ad Hoc Networking) working group in the context of 802.11 links carrying traditional TCP/IP point-to-point traffic. • AODV – ad hoc on-demand distance vector • OLSR – Optimized link state Routing • DSDV - Destination Sequenced Distance Vector • DSR – Dynamic Source Routing • TDRPF - Topology Dissemination Based on Reverse-Path Forwarding • Assume a fairly “classic” view of connectivity • Naïve radio WEI Short Course - L8 Routing

  20. 1 1 Neighbor Communication 0 WEI Short Course - L8 Routing

  21. Fundamental Primitive • Transmit to whatever receivers happen to hear it • This is the fundamental primitive that is buried underneath complex protocols like Bluetooth, but not made available. • It is what make it possible to build higher level protocols on the link, especially IP. • To determine connectivity, • Local broadcast • Respond • on-going protocol to estimate quality of the link • Packet reliability (sequence numbers, acks) • Note 802.15.4 acks only from a specific destination • RSSI, LQI, … WEI Short Course - L8 Routing

  22. Neighbor Communication in IPv6 • Route-over: this is simply transmission to the Link Local All Nodes multicast address – FF02::1 • Mesh-under: the entire PAN is a single IP link (i.e., mesh under), this concept is lost. • At the link layer, the broadcast address is well-defined • But, in a low-power link, this is no longer the most basic communication primitive. • Only receive if listening • Link local broadcast requires either more wake up or more coordination than link local unicast • Unicast/Multicast distinction remains WEI Short Course - L8 Routing

  23. Simple Address-Free Flooding Protocol • Root broadcasts a “new” message to local neighborhood • Each node performs a simple rule if (“new” incoming msg) then take local action retransmit modified msg • No underlying routing structure required • The connectivity over physical space determines it. WEI Short Course - L8 Routing

  24. 1 1 Route-Free “Flood” 0 WEI Short Course - L8 Routing

  25. “Flooding” • Route free dissemination is extremely useful in its own right • Disseminate information • Router advertisements, solicitaitons, … • Network-wide discovery • Join, … • It is also the network primitive that most “ad hoc” protocols used to determine a route • Flood from source till destination is reached. • Each node records the source of the flood packet • This is the parent in the “routing tree” • Reverse the links to form the path back WEI Short Course - L8 Routing

  26. 2 2 2 2 1 1 2 Data Collection in concept 0 WEI Short Course - L8 Routing

  27. The Problems • Flood causes tremendous contention • Many good links missed because of collistions • Huge amount of noise • Many links are not symmetric WEI Short Course - L8 Routing

  28. Flood Dynamics • Experimental Setup • 13x13 grid of nodes • separation 2ft • flat open surface • Identical length antennas, pointing vertically upwards. • Fresh batteries on all nodes • Identical orientation of all nodes • The region was clean of external noise sources. • Range of signal strength settings • Log many runs Ganesan, Krishnamachari, Woo, Culler, Estrin and Wicker, Complex Behavior at Scale: An Experimental Study of Low-Power Wireless Sensor Networks , UCLA Computer Science Technical Report UCLA/CSD-TR 02-0013 WEI Short Course - L8 Routing

  29. Final Tree WEI Short Course - L8 Routing

  30. Factors • Long asymmetric links are common • Many children • Nodes out of range may have overlapping cells • hidden terminal effect • Collisions => these nodes hear neither ‘parent’ • become stragglers • As the tree propagates • folds back on itself • rebounds from the edge • picking up these stragglers. • Redundancy • Geometric overlap => <41% additional area Ni, S.Y., Tseng, Y.C., Chen, Y.S., Sheu, J.P.: The broadcast storm problem in a mobile ad hoc network.

  32. Network Layer • Router • Populate the routing table with candidates • By listening to Router Advertisement (RA) messages • In LoWPAN Link quality is advertised too • Manages entries in the forwarding table • Forwarder • Recv datagram on interface, lookup next hop in FT, request transmission to that • Default route • In IPv6, topology reinforcement is by RA • Plus whatever passive observation and link level piggy backing Network ICMPv6 Autoconf Forwarder Router Stateless Autoconf Multicast Unicast Routing Algorithm Buffer Send Manager Send Manager WEI Short Course - L8 Routing

  33. Routing – Baseline • Routing state very limited. Routing protocol messages very infrequent. • Reduce problem by: • Egress routing (default routes) • Ingress routing (source routing) • Any-to-any through border router or scoped discovery IP Network (powered) Border Router IP Device WEI Short Course - L8 Routing

  34. Routing – Egress Routes • Distance-vector protocol rooted at Border Router • Piggyback on ICMPv6 Router Advertisements • Hop-count or other routing metric • Version number to clear routing state • List of next-hop candidates • Top candidate used to configure default routes • Select a random next-hop if default route fails fd00::4 fd00::1 fd00::3 fd00::2 fd00::5 WEI Short Course - L8 Routing

  35. Routing – Ingress Routes • Record route sent to subnet router anycast • Forward using IPv6 Routing extension header • Use 16-bit short compressed form to minimize overhead fd00::4 1 | 3 | fd00::4 fd00::1 fd00::4 fd00::3 fd00::2 fd00::5 WEI Short Course - L8 Routing

  36. Routing – Any-to-any Routes • Route through border router by default • Utilize scoped discovery to for nearby neighbors • Worst-case stretch (2D) with neighboring nodes • New stretch 2D/(s+1), s = discovery scope fd00::4 1 | 3 | fd00::4 fd00::1 fd00::3 fd00::2 Worst-case Stretch fd00::4 fd00::5 WEI Short Course - L8 Routing

  38. Signal Noise Abstracting Uncertainty Distance WEI Short Course - L8 Routing

  39. Which node do you route through? WEI Short Course - L8 Routing

  40. What does this mean? • Always routing through nodes “at the hairy edge” • Wherever you set the threshold, the most useful node will be close to it • Topology determination is a continuous process of discovery and validation • and it must be done politely • Connectivity is determined by communication • If B receives packet reasonably reliably from A, then A  B • If A receives packet reasonably reliably from B, then A  B • And if both are true, A  B WEI Short Course - L8 Routing

  41. Reliability Techniques • The IP end-to-end architecture assumes IP links are 99% reliable • Best effort says don’t try to push it to %99.999 on every link, put E2E reliability protocols over it when you need it, i.e., TCP • Not that every link should send and forget. • Good Low-power links are often <%90 reliable • 0.9h drops awfully quickly • Need link-level acks • 15.4 acks not even good enough • Filters out asymmetric links • Need hop-by-hop retransmission • Piggy-back net acks on link level • Retransmission and rerouting • Provides the cross-layer visibility WEI Short Course - L8 Routing

  42. Routing Table Routing Table Default Routes Discovering Links ICMPv6 Hdr Inferring a Connectivity Graph Forwarding Table Selecting a Default Route Router Adv MHop Info • Top candidate • Dynamic re-routing • Increasing confidence Low Routing Cost High Confidence High Routing Cost Low Confidence RoutingSelecting Bi-Directional Links and Forming Routes WEI Short Course - L8 Routing

  43. High Quality Selection • Sort by: • Link quality estimate confidence • Path cost (including link quality) • Link success rate requires state • RSSI for insertion (no prior state) • Link success computed by link for each transmission • Dynamically alter default route to: • Refresh link quality estimates • Discover lower path costs • Re-routing naturally does this WEI Short Course - L8 Routing

  44. Building Neighborhoods & Routes • Node transmits to some unknown set • Candidate nbrs are sources of incoming packets • Estimate of inbound link reliability • Occasionally announce inbound link states • Provides reverse link estimate to outbound neighbors • Basis for cost-based routing • Cost-based Parent Selection • depth(me) = MIN nbr(me) depth(i) • loss(me) = MIN nbr(me) loss(i)*est(me,i) • trans(me) = MIN nbr(me) trans(i)+etrans(me,i) • What about nbrs that don’t fit in the table? • FIFO, LRU, Frequency Taming the Challenges of Reliable Multihop Routing in Sensor Networks, Alec Woo and David Culler,  SenSys. 2003. WEI Short Course - L8 Routing

  45. Pragmatics • Maintain at least two (preferably three) candidate parents • Link level retransmission and rerouting • Use acks to determine quality of the link • Throw in a new candidate from time to time. • Do not record list of children • Insufficient memory to build the table. • Route update message on a trickle schedule WEI Short Course - L8 Routing
