  23. Adaptive and Heterogeneous Mobile Wireless Networks

  24. Problem statement How to provide continuous connectivity for a mobile unit to a network in which every node is moving?

  25. Challenges • Dynamic topology • Movement, node failure, energy problem, etc. • Decentralized control • Limited bandwidth • Congestion is typically the norm rather than the exception. [RFC 2501]

  26. Research contributions • Routing protocols for mobile ad hoc networks that adapt to not only network topology, but also traffic and congestion. • Architecture, design of protocols, and experimental evaluation in heterogeneous wireless environments

  27. Broad impacts • Sensor networks • Military networks

  28. Two network environments considered • Mobile ad hoc networks • No centralized control • Large scale heterogeneous wireless networks with control in base stations • Wireless networks with movable base stations (WNMBS)

  29. Research questions in mobile ad hoc networks • Development of ad hoc routing protocols that adapt to traffic load and network congestion. • Identify the network parameters that impact the performance of routing protocols. • Determine the appropriateness of on-demand and proactive approaches (given specific routing requirements and network parameters). • Identify features of ad hoc networks that can be used to improve routing.

  34. Ongoing research • Study of proactive and on-demand approaches • Congestion-aware distance vector routing protocol • Packet loss study

  35. Research study • Investigate the proactive and on-demand approaches • Generalize the results obtained from protocols to the proactive and on-demand approaches • Introduce power consumption as a performance metric • Inject heavy traffic load • Identify the major causes for packet drop • Comprehensively study in various network environments • Propose a congestion-aware routing protocol

  37. Simulation setup for experiments

  38. Motivation for a new proactive protocol • The proactive protocols provide better support for: • Applications requiring QoS • Timely propagate network conditions • Intrusion and anomaly detection • Constantly exchange the network topology information • The proactive approach exhibits better scalability with respect to the number of mobile nodes and traffic load.

  39. Proposed protocol: Congestion Aware Distance Vector (CADV) • Problem with the proactive approach • Congestion • Objective: • Dynamically detect congestion and route packets through less-crowded paths • Method: • Characterize congestion and traffic load by using expected delay. • Consider expected delay at the next hop as the secondary metric to make routing decisions. • Allow a one-hop longer route to be chosen. • Use destination sequence number to avoid loop.

  40. Design issues • Use MAC layer callback to detect broken link • Quick detection • More triggered updates • Whether re-queue a packet • Allowing a one-hop longer route • A one-hop shorter route may not replace the current one if it introduces significantly more delay. • To avoid short-lived loop, do not replace the current route with a longer one if they have the same sequence number. • Deal with fluctuation • Use randomness in routing decisions to reduce fluctuation

  41. CADV • Components: • Real time traffic monitor • Traffic control • Route maintenance module • Route update: • When broadcasts an update, every node advertises the expected delay of sending a packet as: • Route maintenance • Apply a function f(E[D], distance) to evaluate the value of a route

  42. Observations of CADV • CADV outperforms AODV and DSDV in terms of delivery ratio • The end-to-end delay becomes longer because longer routers may be chosen to forward packets • The protocol overhead of CADV is doubled compared with that of DSDV. It is still less than that of AODV when the network is loaded • CADV consumes less power per delivered packet than DSDV and AODV do

  43. Characteristics of wireless networks with movable base stations • Large scale • Heterogeneity • Autonomous sub-nets • Base stations have more resources • Base stations take more responsibilities

  44. Research questions • How to organize the network? • Minimize the effect of motion • Minimize the involvement of mobile host • How to build routing protocol? • IP-compliant • Cooperate with various intra-subnet routing protocols • How to secure communications? • Authenticate • Maintain authentication when a host is roaming

  49. Intruder Identification in Ad Hoc Networks

  50. Problem Statement • Intruder identification in ad hoc networks is the procedure of identifying the user or host that conducts the inappropriate, incorrect, or anomalous activities that threaten the connectivity or reliability of the networks and the authenticity of the data traffic in the networks.
