NeTS-NBD: Dynamic Carrier-Assisted Routing in Mobile Networks

移动网络中的运营商辅助路由在处理各种移动网络中的节点移动性方面，存在两个流派。传统的基于连接的模型建立在底层网络已连接的前提下，认为节点移动性是不可取的。移动性辅助模型将移动性视为所需的特征，其中路由基于存储-结转范例，具有移动节点的随机或受控移动。本研究使用节点移动性来增强移动网络中的路由能力。提出了一种双控制平面模型，该模型包括传统的S平面，用于在固定节点之间使用基于连接的消息路由。此外，提出了一种新的控制平面--M(移动)平面，用于移动节点的轨迹控制。重点放在松散控制的移动节点移动上，以帮助进行路由。这项工作的五个目标如下：(1)提出一个通用的路由框架。(2)提供灵活的移动节点轨迹控制，以平衡多个全局目标。(3)探索使用单播作为基本构建块来支持集体通信，包括组播、广播、任播、聚集和八卦。(4)将二维欧氏空间中的现有模型推广到高维非欧氏空间。(5)在一套定义良好的定量性能指标的基础上，通过实证研究，在双控制平面上集成不同的组件，并对系统进行微调。这项工作是首次将处理节点移动性的两个流派整合在一起。PI预计，这项研究产生的结果将为包括GENI项目在内的广泛应用中的有效路由提供指导方针。

Carrier-Assisted Routing in Mobile NetworksIn terms of handling node mobility in various mobile networks, two schools exist. The traditional connection-based model is built on the premise that the underlying network is connected, and views node mobility as undesirable. The mobility-assisted model considers mobility as a desirable feature, where routing is based on the store-carry-forward paradigm with random or controlled movement of mobile nodes. This research uses node mobility to enhance routing capability in a mobile network. A dual control planes model is presented, which includes the traditional S (stationary)-plane for routing among stationary nodes using connection-based message routing. In addition, a new control plane, M (mobile)-plane, is used for trajectory control of mobile nodes. The focus is on loosely controlled movement of mobile nodes to assist routing. The five goals of this work are the following: (1) Propose a generic framework for routing. (2) Offer flexible trajectory control of mobile nodes to balance several global objectives. (3) Explore the use of unicasting as a basic building block to support collective communication, including multicast, broadcast, anycast, gather, and gossip. (4) Extend the current model in the 2-D Euclidian space to the high-dimensional and non-Euclidian space. (5) Integrate different components in dual control planes and fine tune the system through an empirical study based on a set of well-defined quantitative performancemetrics. This work is the first to integrate two schools of handling node mobility. The PI envisions that results generated from this research will provide guidelines for efficient routing in a wide range of applications, including the GENI project.
