IEEE 802.11 Fragmentation-Aware Energy-Efficient Ad-Hoc Routing Protocols

Overview This paper defines techniques to compute energy-efficient paths, using the IEEE 802.11 fragmentation mechanism, within the framework of on-demand routing protocols. The paper focuses on one specific on-demand routing protocol, namely Ad-hoc On-Demand Vector routing protocol (AODV), and shows how it should be adapted to compute energy-efficient paths. The choice of energy-efficient paths depends on link error rates on different wireless links, which in turn depend on channel noise. The paper shows how the scheme accounts for such channel characteristics in computing such paths and how it exploits the IEEE 802.11 fragmentation mechanism to generate optimum energy-efficient paths.

How CIOs mitigate VoIP's risks

Combining voice and data means there is requirement for one failover/recovery mechanism and immediate saving. Most voice networks in organisations are under-utilised, under-supported and have very little resilience compared with the backup links...

New order in New Orleans

If this mechanism were created intentionally by human design, it "would have been acclaimed as one of the greatest triumphs of the human mind", Hayek wrote in a 1943 book called The Use of Knowledge in Society.

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?

Telecom 2.0: Mind over matter

ntl:Telewest Business believes that the role of the telco is evolving. Gone are the days when it was enough to simply focus on circuits and minutes, customers now need a far higher degree of interaction and look for suppliers who will talk business solutions with them.
