Routing Of Time-Sensitive Data In Mobile Ad Hoc Networks, Necdet Kilic Mar 2001

Routing Of Time-Sensitive Data In Mobile Ad Hoc Networks, Necdet Kilic

Theses and Dissertations

This research focuses on routing of time-sensitive data in mobile ad hoc networks. Routing protocols that were developed for ad hoc networks have been reviewed. Ad Hoc On-demand Distance Vectoring (AODV) routing protocol, which is a prominent routing protocol among these protocols have been implemented in OPNET, a discrete-event simulation tool. Taking AODV as a point of departure, a routing protocol named Real Time Routing Protocol (RTRP) has been developed and also implemented in simulation environment. The performance of these routing protocols have been observed by simulating them in various experiments where the workload has been chosen to be time-sensitive …


Wavelet Domain Communication System (Wdcs): Design, Model, Simulation, And Analysis, Randall W. Klein Mar 2001

Wavelet Domain Communication System (Wdcs): Design, Model, Simulation, And Analysis, Randall W. Klein

Theses and Dissertations

A proposed wavelet domain communication system (WDCS) using transform domain processing is demonstrated as having enhanced interference avoidance capability under adverse environmental conditions. The WDCS system samples the environment and uses the wavelet transform, to determine interference presence and time/scale location. A digital communication waveform (basis function) is subsequently designed in the wavelet domain to specifically avoid regions containing interference. The WDCS basis function is data modulated prior to transmission. Assuming perfect synchronization, the receiver replicates a locally generated basis function for correlating with the received signal and demodulating the data. The proposed system is modeled and simulation results are …


Using Direct-Sequenced Spread Spectrum In A Wired Local Area Network, Robert J. Bonner Mar 2001

Using Direct-Sequenced Spread Spectrum In A Wired Local Area Network, Robert J. Bonner

Theses and Dissertations

Code division multiple access provides an ability to share channel bandwidth amongst users at the same time. Individual user performance is not degraded with the addition of more users, unlike traditional Ethernet. Using direct sequenced spread spectrum in a wired local area network, network performance is improved. For a network in overload conditions, individual station throughput is increased by nearly 212% while mean end-to-end delay was reduced by 800%. The vast improvement demonstrated by this research has the capability to extend legacy-cabling infrastructures for many years to come while easily accommodating new bandwidth intensive multimedia applications.


Multicast Algorithms For Mobile Satellite Communication Networks, Ryan W. Thomas Mar 2001

Multicast Algorithms For Mobile Satellite Communication Networks, Ryan W. Thomas

Theses and Dissertations

With the rise of mobile computing and an increasing need for ubiquitous high speed data connections, Internet-in-the-sky solutions are becoming increasingly viable. To reduce the network overhead of one-to-many transmissions, the multicast protocol has been devised. The implementation of multicast in these Low Earth Orbit (LEO) constellations is a critical component to achieving an omnipresent network environment. This research examines the system performance associated with two terrestrial-based multicast mobility solutions, Distance Vector Multicast Routing Protocol (DVMRP) with mobile IP and On Demand Multicast Routing Protocol (ODMRP). These protocols are implemented and simulated in a six plane, 66 satellite LEO constellation. …
