报告摘要:
There has been a great deal of work on multi-hop mobile wireless networks and protocol issues, and research is ongoing to expand the scope and quality of service of these networks. The performance of multi-hop mobile wireless networks is normally studied via simulation over a fixed time horizon using a steady-state type of statistical analysis procedure. However, due to the dynamic nature of the network topology such an approach may be inappropriate in many cases as the network may spend most of the time in a transient or nonstationary state. In this talk we present a performance modeling framework and detailed techniques for analyzing the time varying performance of mobile wireless networks. We demonstrate the performance modeling framework for dynamic behavior of mobile wireless networks, and show the scenarios of modeling and performance analysis for two specific wireless networks: vehicular ad-doc networks &mobile ad-hoc networks. Our approach is a hybrid of discrete event simulation and numerical analysis techniques. Network queues are modeled using fluid-flow based differential equation models which are solved using numerical methods, while node mobility is modeled using either discrete event simulation techniques or stochastic modeling of adjacency matrix elements. Extensions to the basic model include incorporating energy consumption, interference and propagation effects into the hybrid modeling framework to improve its fidelity.
