On the Performance of TETRA Short Data Service-Transport Layer

This paper presents the results of an extensive measurement survey on the performance of Short Data Service Transport Layer (SDS-TL) of Terrestrial Trunked Radio (TETRA) cellular networks. We developed a novel software measurement platform that runs over the TETRA Peripheral Equipment Interface (PEI), generates SDS-TL traffic, performs measurements, and presents statistics of QoS metrics. The measurement platform was utilized in two measurement campaigns: in the first one, two terminals were co-located in the same TETRA cell, and in the second campaign the terminals were positioned in different cells. Measurements were taken for SDS-TL sizes varying from 10 to 190 bytes (excluding the TL header) with an increment of 5 bytes. For each SDS-TL size, 1,500 messages were exchanged through the measurement platform between the TETRA mobile terminals. We repeated all measurements for three intertransmission intervals, namely 2, 1.5, and 1 s, corresponding to measurement durations-for each set of 1,500 SDS-TL- of ≈ 3,000, 2,250 and 1,500 s, respectively. Hence, 166,500 SDS-TL messages were exchanged between two terminals for each measurement campaign. Results obtained include the end-to-end transmission delay (mean and standard deviation) and the percentage of lost SDS-TL versus the message size for the three intertransmission intervals. The effects of inadequate radio capacity as well as gaps in the radiocoverage can be easily identified through the measurement platform, and we analyze such representative cases.

Energy-Efficient Routing for Frequency-Hop Wireless Networks

The use of adaptive-transmission protocols in wireless, store-and-forward, packet communication networks may result in large differences in the energy requirements of the alternative paths that are available to the routing protocol. Routing metrics can provide quantitative measures of the quality and energy efficiency of the paths from the source to the destination. Such measures are required if the routing protocol is to take advantage of the potential energy savings that are made possible by an adaptive-transmission protocol. An energy-efficient protocol suite for routing and adaptive transmission in frequency-hop wireless networks is described and evaluated, several routing metrics are compared, and tradeoffs among energy efficiency, delay, and packet success probability are investigated.

A Dynamic Priority MAC Protocol for Time-Bounded Services in Wireless Networks

Wireless Local Area Networks have gained popularity at an unprecedented rate over the last few years. However, as the spectrum of applications they are called to support broadens, their inefficiency in meeting the diverse requirements of a wider range of applications becomes evident. Most existing access mechanisms cannot provide Quality-of-Service (QoS) assurances. Even those that are QoS aware can only provide relative service differentiation. In this work, we propose a dynamic priority medium access scheme to provide time-bounded services. By approximating an ideal Earliest Deadline First (EDF) scheduler, the proposed scheme can offer delay and delay jitter assurances while achieving high medium utilization. Analytical studies and simulation experiments document and confirm the positive characteristics of the proposed mechanism. Orestis Tsigkas received his Diploma in electrical and computer engineering from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece in 2002. He is currently working towards his Ph.D. degree in the same department. His research interests include medium access, as well as quality-of-service provisioning.

CAMERA LOCATION DETERMINATION BASED ON THE PERSPECTIVE PROJECTION GEOMETRY OF THREE POINTS

An approach to camera location determination based on the perspective projection geometry of three points is proposed, which is simple and straightforward. No rigid restrictions are placed on the original positional and orientational relationships between the camera and the mark. Experimental results verify the feasibility of the proposed approach.
