SGER-Predictable Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks

该项目正在开发协议，利用节点运动的可预测性来提高manet在可靠性、延迟、容量或其他措施方面的性能。这些协议将在媒体访问控制（MAC）和网络（路由和转发）层运行。这些协议旨在通过以下方式提高网络的可扩展性和可靠性：(1)在任何其他预测技术（例如，基于信号强度）之前预测路由何时即将中断；(2)仅使用本地信息找到一条新路线（或只是修补它）（新路线不必在寻找它的时候可用，而是在需要它的时候——就在当前路线中断之前）；(3)选择长寿命优化的路由，从而进一步减少路由中断次数。这一努力将对移动自组织网络的基本假设以及研究生教育产生影响。

This project is developing protocols that exploit the predictability of the node movements to improve the performance of MANETs in terms of reliability, delay, capacity, or other measures. These protocols will operate at the media access control (MAC) and network (routing and forwarding) layers. The protocols are aimed at increasing the network scalability and reliability by: (1) predicting when a route is about to break well in advance of any other prediction techniques (e.g., based on signal strength); (2) finding a new route (or just patching it) by using only local information (the new route does not have to be available at the time it is sought, but, rather, at the time it will be needed - just before the current one breaks); (3) selecting routes optimized for long-life, thus, further reducing the number of route interruptions. This effort will have impact on the fundamental assumptions of mobile ad hoc networking as well as on graduate student education.
