Segmentation of wireless sensor networks into clusters is a promising approach for efficient utilization and distribution of the limited energy resources within the deployed sensor nodes. In actual implementations, however, there are potential drawbacks that the unbalanced energy assignment and node's physical communication range limitation may restrict the node's operation, and in turn affect the performance of the entire network. In this paper, we propose a novel clustering algorithm named Partition Energy Balanced Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy (PEBACH), which is specially tailored for periodical data gathering applications. For this approach, the cluster heads of each partition of the network are elected based on the residual energy and their relative distance to the region of interest. Such a scheme overcomes the unbalanced energy assignment and node's physical communication range limitation discussed in previous work. Simulation results show that PEBACH outperforms other protocols significantly in prolonging the network lifetime, enlarging the node number, and simultaneously maintains the normal communication range for the nodes.

This paper proposes a novel architecture, named APOHN, designed for data communications over heterogeneous networks. APOHN enables easy implementation of various existing and upcoming performance optimization solutions with the main objective to keep the standardized TCP/IP reference model untouched. APOHN architecture extends ISO/OSI protocol stack model with an additional layer designed for subnetwork communications and optimized with specific physical subnetwork characteristics in mind. TCP/IP flow speedup, subnetwork flow multiplexing and optimized subnetwork communications result in great performance improvements in heterogeneous networks. Moreover, the support of IPsec enables secure communications. APOHN performance is evaluated through simulations using a combined satellite and WLAN network scenario-commonly used in disaster recovery as well as in a variety of military applications. APOHN constitutes an architectural solution competitive with leading architectures such as performance enhancement proxies (PEP) as well as delay-tolerant networking (DTN)

Mobile Ad hoc networks (MANET) are envisioned to become key components in the architecture of the nextgeneration network. In contrast to wired and cellular networks, a MANET is an infrastructureless network that does not depend on any established infrastructure or centralised administration such as a base station. It is an autonomous system of wireless mobile nodes that move freely, randomly and organise themselves arbitrarily. Therefore, the network topology of an ad hoc network is dynamic in nature and may change rapidly and in unpredicted manner. Hence, the intercommunications among nodes are changing continuously. Generally, communication between a source node and a destination node in MANETs are established through multiple intermediate nodes. As a result, any link breaks between any two directly communicating nodes of the established path will result in a break of the complete connection between the source and the destination nodes. In addition, the mobility of nodes results in route loss, poor longevity of established routes, asymmetric communications links, increase in the control traffic overhead and affects the performance of the routing protocol. Moreover, using a number of routing parameters for routing such as geographical location, speed, and signal strength requires a number of resources to provide these parameters. These resources are unlikely to be always available at the same time. The aim of this research is to develop three new routing approaches for mobile ad hoc networks within the context of the previously described situations. One objective of developing these approaches is to study the behaviour of a routing protocol when only the "self-dependent" parameter exists for routing information. Other information is absent in the network, such as location information, speed, etc. Another objective is to exploit the mobility of nodes to establish long-lived routes by using the heading direction information of mobile hosts. As third objective, the s

For the integrated and QoS (quality of services) aware requests, a routing in the backbone network of the nextgeneration telecommunication networks seems to be a path-flow based and centralized routing. In this paper we suggest a path-flow routing algorithm for the network that is assisted by ant colony behavior. In this algorithm ants monitor traffic of each path-flow in a given network, which can be changed dynamically. We use ants' pheromone to monitor and record the network status to avoid delay and packet loss of the traffic. We use the ants for this monitoring and reporting function of the network using stigmergy of the ant colony. A routing decision for the updated traffic is made by solving a mathematical programming formulation and an exact algorithm that was proposed in our previous work. We analyze the performance of our routing framework through simulation in various network instances. From this simulation we can conclude that our ant-assisted multi-commodity minimization algorithm shows some promising performance for the path-flow telecommunication networks

This paper discusses the requirements for optical performance monitoring in all-optical networks. Investigations show that current monitoring technologies are not sufficient for the optically switched networks and that several performance monitoring operations need to be moved down to the physical layer. Furthermore, three experimental examples of optical performance monitoring are presented; dispersion monitoring, OSNR monitoring and all-optical parity checking.

The nextgeneration wireless network environments are expected to support anywhere, anytime connectivity for high-performance applications like multimedia, full-motion video and high data rates with appropriate quality of service (QoS). To provide a solution to these demanding needs, service providers intend to combine different technologies in heterogeneous networks. In this study, upward and downward vertical handoff performance is studied on interworking between microcellular and macrocellular networks. We primarily proposed an efficient strategy for the execution of vertical handoff decision with the aim of maximizing the QoS experienced by the user. In the proposed strategy, we concentrated on crucial features like user preference and support of different service types. Simulation results on the key parameters such as Grade of Service (GoS), throughput and resource utilization prove that the proposed strategy can provide powerful support for QoS in heterogeneous networks.

Preemption and adaptation are two common techniques for controlling inelastic traffic such as streaming media. Adaptation policies dynamically increase or decrease the transmission rate of the stream in response to the presence or absence of network congestion. On the other hand, preemption policies select streams to be removed from the congested route. The removed streams may be rerouted through less favorable paths in the network. Adaptation causes a "virtual increase in network capacity" at the cost of reducing the client perceived stream quality (since rate reduction is achieved through lossy compression). Preemption permits improved blocking probabilities and traffic alignment on shortest paths for high priority traffic at the expense of performance degradation for low priority traffic. In this paper, we demonstrate the aforementioned performance trade-offs and the increased efficacy of control achievable through the combined use of preemption and adaptation policies.
