In this paper, we study the problem of data acquisition in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). A recently revitalized technique called compressive sensing (CS) has presented a new method to capture sparse signals at a rate below Nyquist. There are drawbacks to directly applying the existing CS algorithm to WSNs, which are mainly due to the fact that CS requires a large number of inter-communications for generating each projection. To mitigate these drawbacks, we propose compressive distributed sensing using random walk (CDS(RW)), an algorithm for CS in WSNs that uses rateless coding. This algorithm is independent of routing algorithms and network topologies. CDS(RW) collects sufficient number of sensor readings while combining them together without significantly increasing the inter-communication cost. We model the CS problem with code design for a set of parallel channels which helps us to design the rateless code degree distribution. This model provides the advantage of using non-uniform and unequal error protection codes.

Rapidly changing link conditions make it difficult to accurately estimate the quality of wireless links and predict the fate of future transmissions. In particular bursty links pose a major challenge to online link estimation due to strong fluctuations in their transmission success rates at short time scales. Therefore, the prevalent approach in routing algorithms is to employ a long term link estimator that selects only consistently stable links - PRR > 90% - for packet transmissions. The use of bursty links is thus disregarded although these links provide considerable additional resources for the routing process. Based on significant empirical evidence of over 100,000 transmissions over each link in widely used 802.15.4 and 802.11 testbeds, we propose two metrics, Expected Future Transmissions (EFT) and MAC(3), for runtime estimation of bursty wireless links. We introduce the Bursty Link Estimator (BLE) that, based on these two metrics, accurately estimates bursty links in the network rendering them available for packet transmissions.

In this paper, we efficiently adapt the prominent Ad hoc On-demand Distance Vector (AODV) routing protocol with a reactive Local Link Repair (AODV-LR) for effective deployment in Mobile Ad hoc Sensor Networks (MASNETs) with restricted power and bandwidth. We introduce two replacement mechanisms to the local repair phase of the AODV. Our new approaches are self-repairing AODV algorithms called Reactive Self-repairing AODV (AODV-RSR) and Pre-emptive Self-repairing AODV (AODV-PSR). These two algorithms are able to find an alternative route to a failing link without depending only on broadcasting Route Request (RREQ) packets. Experimental results show that the new algorithms achieve better performance than the AODV-LR and Self-repair Algorithm (SRAODV) by obtaining lower packet delay, higher packet delivery ratio and lower control message overhead.

The introduction of sub-wavelength switching is one of the main objectives of the future transparent optical mesh networks. One strong candidate is Optical Burst Switching (OBS) which improves the resource utilisation by setting up very short lived circuits (bursts). Nonetheless, introducing optical transparency in the optical layer has an important impact on the network performance. In fact, the signal propagates through a transparent optical path accumulates the effect of a variety of quality degrading phenomena which limits the system reach. Translucent optical networks are emerging as a promising solution for bridging the gap between opaque and transparent networks. In this paper we investigate these alternatives in OBS networks and test the effectiveness of the translucent solution.

A new class of wireless sensor networks that harvest power from the environment is emerging because of its intrinsic capability of providing unbounded lifetime. While a lot of research has been focused on energy-aware routing schemes tailored to battery-operated networks, the problem of optimal routing for energy harvesting wireless sensor networks (EH-WSNs) has never been explored. The objective of routing optimization in this context is not extending network lifetime, but maximizing the workload that can be autonomously sustained by the network. In this work we present a methodology for assessing the energy efficiency of routing algorithms for networks whose nodes drain power from the environment. We first introduce the energetic sustainability problem, then we define the maximum energetically sustainable workload (MESW) as the objective function to be used to drive the optimization of routing algorithms for EH-WSNs. We propose a methodology that makes use of graph algorithms and network simulations for evaluating the MESW starting from a network topology, a routing algorithm and a distribution of the environmental power available at each node. We present a tool flow implementing the proposed methodology and we show comparative results achieved on several routing algorithms. Experimental results highlight that routing strategies that do not take into account environmental power do not provide optimal results in terms of workload sustainability. Using optimal routing algorithms may lead to sizeable enhancements of the maximum sustainable workload. Moreover, optimality strongly depends on environmental power configurations. Since environmental power sources change over time, our results prompt for a new class of routing algorithms for EH-WSNs that are able to dynamically adapt to time-varying environmental conditions.

I propose an integrated hybrid optical node ( i-HON) architecture that is designed to combine both packet-switched and circuit-switched data in an effective manner to maximize link utilization, minimize communication latencies, and improve overall performance. I demonstrate the feasibility of i-HON by proposing a single wavelength optical header encoder and self-routing binary-encoded optical header address processing. I then develop dynamic hybrid routing heuristics and adapt these to the novel dynamic reconfiguration and routing algorithms suited for asynchronous bufferless optical networks that incorporate optical routing logic. I compare the performance of the presented algorithms. I use simulation results to show that i-HON provides overall system throughput performance improvements of up to 40% with similar to 50% reduction in network latency.

Network-on-chip (NoC) architectures have been recently proposed as the communication framework for large-scale chips. The design of the routing system for the packet-switched on-chip network is one of the critical issues for the success of NoC architectures. In this paper, we present the design of a reconfigurable pipelined switch for mesh on-chip networks. When the switch is in the regular mode for the regular mesh, the routing is equivalent to the XY routing. When there are faulty links or switches, the switch is reconfigured in irregular mode for faulty mesh networks. The routing decision hardware in the switch is efficiently implemented based on a simple distance calculation algorithm. Our switch design is validated by implementation of four different versions with 64-bit, 128-bit, 256-bit, and 512-bit links, respectively. Our results show that our routing decision can be efficiently realized with distance calculation hardware.
In recent years, there is a growing interest on the research and deployment of MANET(Mobile Ad Hoc Networks) technology for vehicular communication. routing is crucial to the success of VANET(Vehicular Ad hoc Networks...
