Autonomous And Intelligent Radio Switching For Heterogeneous Wireless Networks, Qiuyi Duan, Charles D. Knutson, Lei Wang, Daniel Zappala Sep 2008

Autonomous And Intelligent Radio Switching For Heterogeneous Wireless Networks, Qiuyi Duan, Charles D. Knutson, Lei Wang, Daniel Zappala

Faculty Publications

As wireless devices continue to become more prevalent, heterogeneous wireless networks - in which communicating devices have at their disposal multiple types of radios - will become the norm. Communication between nodes in these networks ought to be as simple as possible; they should be able to seamlessly switch between different radios and network stacks on the fly in order to better serve the user. To make this a possibility, we consider the challenging problems of when two communicating devices should decide to switch to a different radio, and which radio they should choose. We design an Autonomous and Intelligent …


Link Quality Prediction For Wireless Devices With Multiple Radios, Qiuyi Duan, Charles D. Knutson, Lei Wang, Daniel Zappala Jun 2008

Link Quality Prediction For Wireless Devices With Multiple Radios, Qiuyi Duan, Charles D. Knutson, Lei Wang, Daniel Zappala

Faculty Publications

Communication between wireless devices ought to be as simple as possible; they should be able to seamlessly switch between different radios and network stacks on the fly in order to better serve the user. To make this a possibility, we consider the challenging problem of predicting link quality in a changing mobile environment. In this paper we present an algorithm that uses Weighted Least Squares Regression to predict whether a given link can meet application requirements in terms of throughput, delay, and jitter. We use a simulation study to demonstrate that our algorithm is able to predict link quality accurately …
