Bandwidth Estimation For IEEE 802
Bandwidth Estimation For IEEE 802
Abstract:
Since 2005, IEEE 802.11-based networks have been able to provide a certain level of quality
of service (QoS) by the means of service differentiation, due to the IEEE 802.11e
amendment. However, no mechanism or method has been standardized to accurately
evaluate the amount of resources remaining on a given channel. Such an evaluation would,
however, be a good asset for bandwidth-constrained applications. In multihop ad hoc
networks, such evaluation becomes even more difficult. Consequently, despite the various
contributions around this research topic, the estimation of the available bandwidth still
represents one of the main issues in this field. In this paper, we propose an improved
mechanism to estimate the available bandwidth in IEEE 802.11-based ad hoc networks.
Through simulations, we compare the accuracy of the estimation we propose to the
estimation performed by other state-of-the-art QoS protocols, BRuIT, AAC, and QoS-AODV.
Existing System:
The ad hoc networking community assumes that the underlying wireless technology
is the IEEE 802.11 standard due to the broad availability of interface cards and
simulation models.
This standard has not been targeted especially for multihop ad hoc operation, and it
is therefore not perfectly suited to this type.
An accurate evaluation of the capabilities of the routes is necessary. Most of the
current QoS proposals leave this problem aside, relying on the assumption that the
link layer protocols are able to perform such an evaluation.
Proposed System:
In this system they are using 802.11 MAC layer to evaluate the correct bandwidth.
This method combines channel monitoring to estimate each node’s medium
occupancy.
Probabilistic combination of the values is to account for synchronization between
nodes, estimation of the collision probability between each couple of nodes, and
variable overhead’s impact estimation.
This mechanism only requires one-hop information communication and may be
applied without generating a too high additional overhead.
We show the accuracy of the available bandwidth measurement through NS-2
simulations.
These results show that single-hop flows and multihop flows are admitted more
accurately, resulting in a better stability and overall performance.
