A Markov-Based Channel Model Algorithm for Wireless Networks

Techniques for modeling and simulating channel conditions play an essential role in understanding network protocol and application behavior. In [11], we demonstrated that inaccurate modeling using a traditional analytical model yielded suboptimal error control protocol parameters choices. In this paper, we demonstrate that time-varying effects on wireless channels result in wireless traces which exhibit non-stationary behavior over small window sizes. We then present an algorithm that extracts stationary components from a collected trace in order to provide analytical channel models that, relative to traditional approaches, more accurately represent characteristics such as burstiness, statistical distribution of errors, and packet loss processes. Our algorithm also generates artificial traces with the same statistical characteristics as actual collected network traces. For validation, we develop a channel model for the circuit-switched data service in GSM and show that it: (1) more closely approximates GSM channel characteristics than traditional Markov models and (2) generates artificial traces that closely match collected traces' statistics. Using these traces in a simulator environment enables future protocol and application testing under different controlled and repeatable conditions.     

Quality of Service Schemes for IEEE 802.11 Wireless LANs – An Evaluation

This paper evaluates four mechanisms for providing service differentiation in IEEE 802.11 wireless LANs. The evaluated schemes are the Point Coordinator Function (PCF) of IEEE 802.11, the Enhanced Distributed Coordinator Function (EDCF) of the proposed IEEE 802.11e extension to IEEE 802.11, Distributed Fair Scheduling (DFS), and Blackburst. The evaluation was done using the ns-2 simulator. Furthermore, the impact of some parameter settings on performance has also been investigated. The metrics used in the evaluation are throughput, medium utilization, collision rate, average access delay, and delay distribution for a variable load of real time and background traffic. The simulations show that the best performance is achieved by Blackburst. PCF and EDCF are also able to provide pretty good service differentiation. DFS can give a relative differentiation and consequently avoids starvation of low priority traffic.     

Stochastic Modeling of TCP in Networks with Abrupt Delay Variations

An analytical model of TCP (Transport Control Protocol) over an end-to-end path with random abrupt round-trip time (RTT) changes is presented. Modeling the RTT as a stochastic process, we analytically quantify and compare between the degree of degradation of the steady-state average throughput and window size due to spurious retransmissions for the different versions of TCP (Reno/NewReno versus Tahoe). The modeling methodology in this paper is used for evaluating different design alternatives for TCP for highly dynamic networks.

Distributed detection of replica node attacks with group deployment knowledge in wireless sensor networks

Several protocols have been proposed to mitigate the threat against wireless sensor networks due to an attacker finding vulnerable nodes, compromising them, and using these nodes to eavesdrop or undermine the operation of the network. A more dangerous threat that has received less attention, however, is that of replica node attacks, in which the attacker compromises a node, extracts its keying materials, and produces a large number of replicas to be spread throughout the network. Such attack enables the attacker to leverage the compromise of a single node to create widespread effects on the network. To defend against these attacks, we propose distributed detection schemes to identify and revoke replicas. Our schemes are based on the assumption that nodes are deployed in groups, which is realistic for many deployment scenarios. By taking advantage of group deployment knowledge, the proposed schemes perform replica detection in a distributed, efficient, and secure manner. Through analysis and simulation experiments, we show that our schemes achieve effective and robust replica detection capability with substantially lower communication, computational, and storage overheads than prior work in the literature.
