  4. Why Wireless ? Motivation Wireless Network : devices with wireless adapters communicating with each other using EM waves • Ease and Speed of deployment. • Wired network may not be possible. Wireless Network Architectures Centralized or LAN Distributed or Ad hoc Wired network Base Station 1.Collection of autonomous hosts 2. No Infrastructure 3. All hop wireless 1. All devices connect to base station 2. Infrastructure based 3. End hop wireless Mobile Computing and Networking Group Arizona State University

  5. Problem Statement Motivation • To build a reliable link-layer protocol for multicast in single channel multi-access wireless networks • Reliability can be achieved at • End-to-end: across several hop. • Link level: across a single hop. • Why reliable multicast at the link layer[IG00]? • Allows local error recovery. • Improves throughput. • Conserves energy. • Reduces end-to-end delay. link level reliability Destination Source End to end reliability Mobile Computing and Networking Group Arizona State University

  6. Link Level Multicasting • Repeated unicast transmissions • Redundant data, Wastes energy, Increases delay, Reduces throughput • Reliable Broadcast at the multicast address and filter at the receivers Design Issues: • Medium Access: • Wired Networks use CSMA/CD • Wireless Networks signal strength fades with distance • self interference, hidden terminals exposed terminals, capture effect • Error Recovery • Controlling the flow of feedback information Sender 5 transmissions Sender 1 transmissions Mobile Computing and Networking Group Arizona State University

  7. Hidden Terminals Nodes not within the senders range but within the receiver range Causes collisions at the receivers Collision detection cannot be used Location dependant carrier sensing: Even if the receiver may experience collisions, the sender may not. Self Interference: transmit signal flows into receive path Capture Effect Picks up stronger signal as long as the ratio of the stronger to weaker signal exceeds the capture threshold. Signal from Node B Capture Threshold (SNRT) > Signal from Node G Medium Access Issues Challenges Node B Node O Node G HIDDEN TERMINAL Can still pick up packet from Node B Node O Node B Node G Mobile Computing and Networking Group Arizona State University

  8. Error Recovery and Feedback Control • Local Error Recovery • High channel BER • Channel bit error rate can be as high as 1 in 104 or higher. • Almost 40% or more of the packets are in error when payload is 512b. • Retransmission based [TKP97] • ACK based : absence of ACK • NACK based : presence of NACK • Explicit retransmission requests : reception of retransmit request packet • FEC based • Controlling the flow of feedback from multiple receivers Battery Anemic • Size and weight limitation restrict the lifetime of the device battery. • Energy conservation techniques Mobile Computing and Networking Group Arizona State University

  9. Single channel multi-access networks Single transceiver Infrastructure-based as well as ad hoc Packet loss : Bit errors and Collisions Group membership maintained by the higher layer protocols Two Ray Ground Propagation Model Signal has to greater than the reception threshold to receive the packet correctly The medium is perceived as busy as long as the signal is greater than the noise threshold. System Model and Assumptions Preliminaries Mobile Computing and Networking Group Arizona State University

  10. Some Related Work… Related Work • Solutions to Hidden Terminals • RTS-CTS based : Single Channel • Unicast: IEEE 802.11Unicast • Multicast: LBP, PBP, DBP • Busy Tone based : Two channels • Unicast: DBTMA [DJ98] • Multicast: IEEE 802.11MX [Sha02] • IEEE 802.11 Multicast Mobile Computing and Networking Group Arizona State University

  11. DIFS SIFS SIFS SIFS X X X X RTS CTS X X DATA X ACK IEEE 802.11 Unicast [Com99] Related Work • RTS-CTS • ACK based error recovery • Physical + virtual carrier sensing • DIFS, SIFS inter-frame space for prioritization of DATA Sender H Hidden Terminal Receiver H RTS DATA Sender H CTS ACK Receiver H Update NAV from CTS Update NAV from RTS Others Mobile Computing and Networking Group Arizona State University

  12. RTS-CTS for Multicast Related Work • Several receivers : feedback collision • Try to eliminate the collision of feedback • LBP[KK01] – leader node sends the feedback information • DBP[KK01] – all nodes send out feedback after a certain random delay. • PBP[KK01] – every node sends out feedback with certain probability “p”. • BSMA[TG00b], BMW[TG00a], BMMM, LAMM [Shal02] • RTS-CTS does not solve all hidden terminal problems[XGB02] RTS H CTS Collision Mobile Computing and Networking Group Arizona State University

  13. DIFS IEEE 802.11 Multicast [Com99] Related Work • Not Reliable • Hidden terminal problems • No local error recovery DATA Sender Consume data Group Neighbors Ignore data Others Mobile Computing and Networking Group Arizona State University

  14. Our Protocol • Salient Features • Protocol RDNP • Deals only with local error recovery • No CTS packet. • Uses a NACK or collision of NACKs to prompt retransmissions. • NACKs do not contain any relevant information. • Does not suppress hidden terminals • Protocol M-RDNP • Mitigate the effect of hidden terminals • Reliable neighbors do not suffer from hidden terminals as long as sender is transmitting • Forces routing layer to build routes only using reliable neighbors Mobile Computing and Networking Group Arizona State University

  15. DIFS SIFS SIFS Protocol RDNP Protocol • Good for wireless LANs when there are no hidden terminals • base station is the only node that can transmit multicast data. • Not so good for ad hoc networks because of hidden terminals.

  16. CSI CS RX RL Reliable and Interference Region Protocol Reception range: Radius within which the signal is greater than the reception threshold Noise Range: Radius within which the signal is greater than the noise threshold Hey! I cannot transmit. I am within A’s noise range Hey! I can transmit. I am not within A’s noise range Reliable Neighbors: All neighbors within the collision free zone. Unreliable Neighbors: All neighbors not in the reliable range Node A Node B1 Node B2 Node C1 Node C2 Booo Hooo! I experience collisions Yippee! I still receive A’s signal Thanks to capture effect. Mobile Computing and Networking Group Arizona State University

  17. Minimum Reliable Radius Protocol Minimum RL ≈ 170m when CS = 550m • Assumption: No two nodes “start” transmitting simultaneously. • Two simultaneous transmissions must be separated from each other by a distance of CS • Around a sender the maximum number of nodes which can be transmitting simultaneously is 6 Node E Node F CS dER dFR CS Node R dAR dDR d Node D Φ RL CS Node A Node S dCR dBR Node C Node B Mobile Computing and Networking Group Arizona State University

  18. Protocol M-RDNP Protocol • Force all routes to be formed using only reliable neighbors. • Thus transmissions use only reliable hops in which there are no hidden terminal problems. • Might use more number of hops to transmit to the same node Mobile Computing and Networking Group Arizona State University

  25. Summarizing Reliability • Stationary Ad hoc networks • M-RDNP - “Good” for low neighbor density. • M-RDNP and RDNP – Statistically indifferent for high neighbor density, “better” than IEEE 802.11. • Mobile Ad hoc Networks Low/Moderate Speeds • M-RDNP – “Good” for low neighbor density. • IEEE 802.11 - “Good” for low BER and high neighbor density. • RDNP – “Good” for high BER and high neighbor density. • Mobile Ad hoc Networks Very High Speeds • All three statistically indifferent. Mobile Computing and Networking Group Arizona State University

  26. Energy Results • The energy consumed for a retransmission is much higher than the energy consumed for a transmission. • For stationary ad hoc networks, • As the BER increases the energy consumed per packet is much higher for RDNP and M-RDNP owing to the increase in the number of retransmissions. • RDNP consumes more energy than M-RDNP because of high drop ratio hidden terminals. • For mobile ad hoc networks • As the mobility increases, the energy consumed also increases. • For low BER the energy consumed by RDNP and IEEE 802.11 is almost the same, because no energy is lost in retransmissions. • M-RDNP consumes the least energy for low BER because is does not lose packets due to hidden terminals. • For higher BER RDNP and M-RDNP consumes more energy because of retransmissions Mobile Computing and Networking Group Arizona State University

  27. Conclusions • RDNP and M-RDNP was proposed as a NACK based reliable multicast extension to IEEE 802.11 • Reliable multicast is extremely desirable when channel BER is high. • Frequent changes in route caused by SPST, “not good” for the MAC layer. • Energy cost associated with retransmission very high. • For very high speed networks MAC layer is insignificant. Future Work • Addition of energy saving strategies • Adapt the MAC layer based on the network characteristics • Estimate the link metric for SPST based on the conclusions Mobile Computing and Networking Group Arizona State University
