Connected coverage, which reflects how well a target field is monitored under the base station, is the most important performance
metric used to measure the quality of surveillance that wireless sensor networks (WSNs) can provide. To facilitate the measurement
of this metric, we propose two novel algorithms for individual sensor nodes to identify whether they are on the coverage boundary,
i.e., the boundary of a coverage hole or network partition. Our algorithms are based on two novel computational geometric
techniques called localized Voronoi and neighbor embracing polygons. Compared to previous work, our algorithms can be applied
to WSNs of arbitrary topologies. The algorithms are fully distributed in the sense that only the minimal position information
of one-hop neighbors and a limited number of simple local computations are needed, and thus are of high scalability and energy
efficiency. We show the correctness and efficiency of our algorithms by theoretical proofs and extensive simulations.

The proper functioning of mobile ad hoc networks depends on the hypothesis that each individual node is ready to forward packets
for others. This common assumption, however, might be undermined by the existence of selfish users who are reluctant to act
as packet relays in order to save their own resources. Such non-cooperative behavior would cause the sharp degradation of
network throughput. To address this problem, we propose a credit-based Secure Incentive Protocol (SIP) to stimulate cooperation
among mobile nodes with individual interests. SIP can be implemented in a fully distributed way and does not require any pre-deployed
infrastructure. In addition, SIP is immune to a wide range of attacks and is of low communication overhead by using a Bloom
filter. Detailed simulation studies have confirmed the efficacy and efficiency of SIP.

Wireless sensor networks are energy constrained since sensors operate with limited battery capacity. Thus, energy consumption
is one of the most critical issues in the design of routing protocols. In addition, the link quality needs to be taken into
account in the route decision for a wireless multihop network in order to efficiently exploit the inherent spatial diversity.
In this paper we consider energy-aware and link-adaptive routing strategies for UWB (Ultra Wide Band) sensor networks. We
utilize the ranging capabilities offered by UWB and employ adaptive modulation to take advantage of favorable link conditions.
Different routing metrics are proposed based on the availability of sensor node’s location, link quality and next hop battery
capacity information. These routing metrics integrate the measure of next hop remaining battery capacity with the throughput
performance measures, Maximum Forward Progress (MFP) or Maximum Information Progress (MIP). The effectiveness of these metrics
is evaluated in different simulation scenarios in terms of network throughput and lifetime for both random and grid sensor
network topologies.

Wireless mesh networks (WMNs) are gaining growing interest as a promising technology for ubiquitous high-speed network access.
While much effort has been made to address issues at physical, data link, and network layers, little attention has been paid
to the security aspect central to the realistic deployment of WMNs. We propose UPASS, the first known secure authentication and billing architecture for large-scale WMNs. UPASS features a novel user-broker-operator
trust model built upon the conventional certificate-based cryptography and the emerging ID-based cryptography. Based on the
trust model, each user is furnished with a universal pass whereby to realize seamless roaming across WMN domains and get ubiquitous network access. In UPASS, the incontestable billing
of mobile users is fulfilled through a lightweight realtime micropayment protocol built on the combination of digital signature
and one-way hash-chain techniques. Compared to conventional solutions relying on a home-foreign-domain concept, UPASS eliminates
the need for establishing bilateral roaming agreements and having realtime interactions between potentially numerous WMN operators.
Our UPASS is shown to be secure and lightweight, and thus can be a practical and effective solution for future large-scale
WMNs.

We consider the problem of transmission scheduling of data over a wireless fading channel with hard deadline constraints.
Our system consists of N users, each with a fixed amount of data that must be served by a common deadline. Given that, for each user, the channel
fade state determines the throughput per unit of energy expended, our objective is to minimize the overall expected energy
consumption while satisfying the deadline constraint. We consider both a linear and a strictly convex rate-power curve and
obtain optimal solutions, based on dynamic programming (DP), and tractable approximate heuristics in both cases. For the special
non-fading channel case with convex rate-power curve, an optimal solution is obtained based on the Shortest Path formulation.
In the case of a linear rate-power curve, our DP solution has a nice “threshold” form; while for the convex rate-power curve
we are able to obtain a heuristic algorithm with comparable performance with that of the optimal scheduling scheme.

This paper reports results from wideband MIMO measurements performed in short range fixed wireless environments at 5.2 GHz. The objective is to provide MIMO channel characterization results for the measured environments and contribute to the limited available similar studies. Two kinds of propagation scenarios are investigated, rooftop to rooftop and street to rooftop, at three different sites always under LOS propagation conditions. The analysis of measurement data is performed in the context of non physical modeling, providing insight into the statistics of the measured channels. In particular, the slow time varying nature of the channel is studied and the narrow Doppler spectrum shape is approximated. Furthermore, frequency correlation results are obtained and the typical delay dispersion measures are extracted. Then, the antenna correlation is studied and the error of the Kronecker product approximation is evaluated. Finally, capacity results are provided and the channel measurements are characterized in terms of spatial multiplexing quality and multipath richness through condition number analysis.

We study the performance of multiuser document prefetching in a two-tier heterogeneous wireless system. Mobility-aware prefetching
was previously introduced to enhance the experience of a mobile user roaming between heterogeneous wireless access networks.
However, an undesirable effect of multiple prefetching users is the potential for system instability due to the racing behavior
between the document access delay and the user prefetching quantity. This phenomenon is particularly acute in the heterogeneous
environment. We investigate into alleviating the system traffic load through prefetch thresholding, accounting for server
queuing prioritization. We propose a novel analysis framework to evaluate the performance of the thresholding approach. Numerical
and simulation results show that the proposed analysis is accurate for a wide variety of access, service, and mobility patterns.
We further demonstrate that stability can be maintained even under heavy usage, providing both the same scalability as a non-prefetching
system and the performance gain associated with prefetching.

One of the challenging tasks in Personal Communication Services (PCS) is to efficiently maintain the location of PCS subscribers
who move from one region to another (hereafter called mobile users). When a mobile user receives a call, the network has to
quickly determine its current location. The existing location management scheme suffers from high signaling traffic in locating
the mobile users. Two-level forwarding pointer scheme has been proposed from per-user forwarding pointer scheme to reduce
the cost of signaling traffic. In this paper, we enhance the two-level forwarding pointer scheme. When a mobile user moves
from its current Registered Area (RA), which is served by Mobile Switching Center (MSC), to another RA the local switch that
acts as a parent of those two MSCs maintains this movement in its memory (hereafter called cache entry). A cache entry is
used to locate rapidly the mobile user instead of querying the Home Location Register (HLR) and waiting for its reply. HLR
is centralized in the network and far away from the mobile users so that the signaling traffic crossing it is expensive. Sometimes
the cache entry may be failed to reach the mobile user then a two-level forwarding pointers will be created from the corresponding
Visitor Location Register (VLR), attached to its MSC, through a correct path to locate the mobile user. Thus, there is a saving
in cost of querying the underlying HLR. The analytical results indicate that such proposal efficiently reduces the signaling
traffic cost for all values of Call to Mobility Ratio (CMR), this is especially considerable when CMR ≥1, without any increase
in the call setup delay.

In this paper we study connection admission control (CAC) in IEEE 802.11-based ESS mesh networks. An analytical model is developed
for studying the effects of CAC on mesh network capacity. A distributed CAC scheme is proposed, which incorporates load balancing
when selecting a mesh path for new connections. Our results show that connection level performance, including both average
number of connections and connection blocking probability, can be greatly improved using the proposed mechanism compared to
other admission control schemes.

In this paper, we develop an analytical model to evaluate the delay performance of the burst-frame-based CSMA/CA protocol
under unsaturated conditions, which has not been fully addressed in the literature. Our delay analysis is unique in that we
consider the end-to-end packet delay, which is the duration from the epoch that a packet enters the queue at the MAC layer
of the transmitter side to the epoch that the packet is successfully received at the receiver side. The analytical results
give excellent agreement with the simulation results, which represents the accuracy of our analytical model. The results also
provide important guideline on how to set the parameters of the burst assembly policy. Based on these results, we further
develop an efficient adaptive burst assembly policy so as to optimize the throughput and delay performance of the burst-frame-based
CSMA/CA protocol.

At the transmitter, the information bits are Turbo coded, then interleaved and passed through a serial-to-parallel converter. The channel is assumed bad urban suffering from multipath Rayleigh fading resulting in inter-symbol and multiple access interferences (ISI and MAI). At the front-end of the receiver, a number of receiving antennas are used followed by a joint multi-user estimator based on the Minimum Mean Square Error Block Linear Equalizer (MMSE-BLE).Computer simulations demonstrate a significant performance improvement in both single user and multi-user cases.This paper depends in parts on that presented at the 11th European Wireless Conference, Cyprus, Nicosia, pp. 187–192, April 2005.

Integration of different kinds of wireless networks to provide people seamless and continuous network access services is a
major issue in the B3G network. In this paper, we propose and implement a novel Heterogeneous network Integration Support
Node design (HISN) and a distributed HISN network architecture for the integration of heterogeneous networks, under which
the Session Mobility, Personal Mobility, and Terminal Mobility for mobile users can be maintained through the Session Management
mechanism. Thus, the HISN node can serve as an agent for the user to access Internet services independent of underlying communication
infrastructure. Our design is transparent to the bearer networks and the deployment of the HISN network does not need to involve
the operators of the heterogeneous wireless networks.

This paper presents an analytical model for evaluating the statistical multiplexing effect, admission region, and contention
window design in multiclass wireless local area networks (WLANs). We consider distributed medium access control (MAC) which
provisions service differentiation by assigning different contention windows to different classes. Mobile nodes belonging
to different classes may have heterogeneous traffic arrival processes with different quality of service (QoS) requirements.
With bursty input traffic, e.g. on/off sources, our analysis shows that the WLAN admission region under the QoS constraint
can be significantly improved, when the statistical multiplexing effect is taken into account. We also analyze the MAC resource
sharing between the short-range dependent (SRD) on/off sources and the long-range dependent (LRD) fractional Brownian motion
(FBM) traffic, where the impact of the Hurst parameter on the admission region is investigated. Moveover, we demonstrate that
the proper selection of contention windows plays an important role in improving the WLAN’s QoS capability, while the optimal
contention window for each class and the maximum admission region can be jointly solved in our analytical model. The analysis
accuracy and the resource utilization improvement from statistical multiplexing gain and contention window optimization are
demonstrated by extensive numerical results.

An overlay smart spaces system, called MITOS, is proposed for managing the use of the resources in wireless local area networks
(WLAN). MITOS monitors the traffic load distribution in the different WLAN segments, as well as the location of each user,
and when necessary, suggests to specific users to change their location in order to improve their quality of service. Enhancements
to the basic MITOS architecture are introduced to intelligently manage local congestion, and maintain an almost uniform load
level across the network. The approach used for load balancing is based on game theoretic mechanisms, such as the solutions
to the Santa Fe Bar Problem. Simulation results are provided showing the efficiency of the proposed system.

Quality of service (QoS) support for multimedia services in the IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN is an important issue for such WLANs
to become a viable wireless access to the Internet. In this paper, we endeavor to propose a practical scheme to achieve this
goal without changing the channel access mechanism. To this end, a novel call admission and rate control (CARC) scheme is
proposed. The key idea of this scheme is to regulate the arriving traffic of the WLAN such that the network can work at an
optimal point. We first show that the channel busyness ratio is a good indicator of the network status in the sense that it
is easy to obtain and can accurately and timely represent channel utilization. Then we propose two algorithms based on the
channel busyness ratio. The call admission control algorithm is used to regulate the admission of real-time or streaming traffic
and the rate control algorithm to control the transmission rate of best effort traffic. As a result, the real-time or streaming
traffic is supported with statistical QoS guarantees and the best effort traffic can fully utilize the residual channel capacity
left by the real-time and streaming traffic. In addition, the rate control algorithm itself provides a solution that could
be used above the media access mechanism to approach the maximal theoretical channel utilization. A comprehensive simulation
study in ns-2 has verified the performance of our proposed CARC scheme, showing that the original 802.11 DCF protocol can
statically support strict QoS requirements, such as those required by voice over IP or streaming video, and at the same time,
achieve a high channel utilization.

We propose an innovative resource management scheme for TDMA based mobile ad hoc networks. Since communications between some
important nodes in the network are more critical, they should be accepted by the network with high priority in terms of network
resource usage and quality of service (QoS) support. In this scheme, we design a location-aware bandwidth pre-reservation
mechanism, which takes advantage of each mobile node’s geographic location information to pre-reserve bandwidth for such high
priority connections and thus greatly reduces potential scheduling conflicts for transmissions. In addition, an end-to-end
bandwidth calculation and reservation algorithm is proposed to make use of the pre-reserved bandwidth. In this way, time slot
collisions among different connections and in adjacent wireless links along a connection can be reduced so that more high
priority connections can be accepted into the network without seriously hurting admissions of other connections. The salient
feature of our scheme is the collaboration between the routing and MAC layer that results in the more efficient spatial reuse
of limited resources, which demonstrates how cross-layer design leads to better performance in QoS support. Extensive simulations
show that our scheme can successfully provide better communication quality to important nodes at a relatively low price. Finally,
several design issues and future work are discussed.

In order to support the diverse Quality of Service (QoS) requirements for differentiated data applications in broadband wireless
networks, advanced techniques such as space-time coding (STC) and orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) are implemented
at the physical layer. However, the employment of such techniques evidently affects the subchannel-allocation algorithms at
the medium access control (MAC) layer. In this paper, we propose the QoS-driven cross-layer subchannel-allocation algorithms
for data transmissions over asynchronous uplink space-time OFDM-CDMA wireless networks. We mainly focus on QoS requirements
of maximizing the best-effort throughput and proportional bandwidth fairness, while minimizing the upper-bound of scheduling
delay. Our extensive simulations show that the proposed infrastructure and algorithms can achieve high bandwidth fairness
and system throughput while reducing scheduling delay over wireless networks.

A fast converging adaptive minimum-mean-squared-error (MMSE) multiuser detector is proposed for direct-sequence code-division multiple-access (DS-CDMA) systems with severe near-far problem where the convergence rate of adaptive MMSE detectors for distinct users can be very different. It is shown that by successively cancelling the interference signals of strong power users, the convergence rate of the proposed detectors for weak power users can be significantly increased, which helps to reduce the length of training sequence for tracking. It is also shown that the order of cancellation and several important parameters required for interference cancellation can be determined from the convergence behavior of the proposed detector. Numerical results are presented to show that the proposed detector offers improved performance in various DS-CDMA environments.Zhiwei Mao received the B.Sc. degrees from Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications (BUPT), Beijing, China in 1996 and 1999, respectively.
