Active queue management (AQM) mechanisms manage queue lengths by dropping packets when congestion is building up; end-systems can then react to such losses by reducing their packet rate, hence avoiding severe congestion. They are also very useful for the differentiated forwarding of packets in the DiffServ architecture. Many studies have shown that setting the parameters of an AQM algorithm may prove difficult and error-prone, and that the performance of AQM mechanisms is very sensitive to network conditions. The adaptive RIO mechanism (A-RIO) addresses both issues. It requires a single parameter, the desired queuing delay and adjusts its internal dynamics accordingly. A-RIO has been thoroughly evaluated in terms of delay response and network utilization but no study has been conducted in order to evaluate its behaviour in terms of fairness. By way of ns-2 simulations, This work examines A-RIO's ability to fairly share the network's resources (bandwidth) between the flows contending for those resources. Using Jain's fairness index as our performance metric, we compare the bandwidth distribution among flows obtained with A-RIO and with RIO.

The Federal Aviation Administration's (FAAs) controller-pilot data link communications (CPDLC) Build 1 system began initial daily use (IDU) at Miami Air Route Traffic control Center (ARTCC) on October 7, 2002. CPDLC utilizes the aeronautical telecommunications network (ATN) and very high frequency digital link (VDL) mode 2 to transmit digital messages between air traffic controllers and pilots in specially equipped aircraft. In addition to the FAA and the Miami ARTCC, stakeholders include ARINC, American Airlines, Continental Airlines, Delta Airlines, Atlantic Southeast Airlines (ASA), the United States Air Force, Rockwell Collins, and Teledyne. CPDLC Build 1 consists of four basic services: transfer of communications (TOC) for directing a pilot to change the assigned voice frequency; initial contact (IC) for verification of the pilot's assigned altitude; altimeter setting (AS) for uplinking barometric pressure data, and menu text (MT) for uplinking a predefined set of text messages. These services are invoked through five message types: contact; monitor, usually combined with confirm assigned level (CAL); "independent" CAL; altimeter setting; and menu text. CPDLC Build 1 was to have been the first step in an evolution of data link capabilities that would eventually provide data link services to all centers through a series of builds intended to keep pace with similar developments in Europe. It was planned to be a limited duration, single site implementation to prove the viability of CPDLC procedures and capabilities, to be followed by the national deployment of CPDLC Build 1A. However, in April 2003, the FAA's Joint Resources Council (JRC) decided to defer CPDLC Build 1A, but directed the CPDLC team to prepare a sustainment plan for continued Build 1 operations in Miami. The sustainment plan (2003) was prepared in July 2003 and included plans for the resolution of existing operational issues and implementation of program refinements. Key among the latter included e

This paper describes a one-hop self-organized clustering (SOC) algorithm developed specifically for ultra-wideband (UWB) networks. Our research is motivated by the strict regulation of the transmit power of UWB devices, as imposed by U.S. Federal communications Commission (FCC). To comply with FCC power regulations and to maximize network capacity, we propose a heuristic clustering algorithm to form clusters that have the minimum total power emission subject to constraints on radio range and multiple access capacity. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm performs better than a random selection algorithm in terms of power emission under all circumstances. Furthermore, the performance of the SOC algorithm can approach that of the k-means algorithm when an appropriate upper limit on the number of nodes in a cluster is imposed.

This paper presents a new model for sensor networks, Shared Distribution Map (SDMap). One challenge for sensor networks from the perspective of a networkarchitecture is the way the recipients of sensor data handle them. Instead of a socket-type interface, we provide a two-dimensional map of data distribution that is visible to all receiving nodes. SDMap has several features: automatic elaboration of an area exhibiting a large change in data, data freshness control, and synchronization among caches. A recipient can either subscribe to a portion of the map or request for data at specific area without being aware of the underlying network. In this paper we describe the design issues for SDMap.

In this paper, we make a brief study of some of the important requirements of a structural monitoring system for civil infrastructures and explain the key issues that are faced in the design of a suitable wireless monitoring strategy. Two-tiered wireless sensor networkarchitecture is proposed as a solution to these issues and the protocol used for the communication in this network is described. The power saving strategies at various levels, from the networkarchitecture, to communication protocol, to the sensor unit architecture are explained. A detailed analysis of the network is done and the implementation of this network in a laboratory setting is described.

The various aspects of performance enhancements of dynamic opticalnetworks are discussed. In this regard, carrier requirements for flexible, programmable optical transport networks in the context of emerging components and sub-systems were discussed. The various carrier requirements include installation costs, bandwidth prices, network services, network performance, switching, and power control and monitoring. Modular architecture are also one of the attractive network subsystem features from a capital expenditure perspective deferring common equipment cost until the additional wavelengths are actually required.

Fiber-optic communication has changed the information landscape over the last two decades. It has provided the information technology revolution with the high data rate networks it needed. A severe limitation of the current fiber networks is caused by the use of electronics in switching and routing. An all-optical fiber network, where there is no need for signal convention between optics and electronic, is the answer to such a demand. In this paper we introduce a new approach to implement a transparent all-optical, non-blocking cross connect switch for routing. An all-optical fiber network, where there is no need for signal conversion between optics and electronic, is the answer to such a demand. In this paper we introduce a new approach to implement a transparent all-optical, non-blocking cross connect switch for routing opticalnetwork traffic. This approach is based on the combination of MEMS, diffractive optical elements, and optical fibers. The proposed cross-connect will be programmable to configure the network as needed. In this paper we develop MINs (using MEMS based switches as the backbone) to support multicast while reducing crosstalk and control complexity. We develop reordering algorithms and design a slot-permuter to adapt to all changes for multicast support. Finally we will verify the performance and effectiveness of our algorithms and the slot permuter through theoretical analysis and extensive simulation.
