Group Mobility and Partition Prediction in Wireless Ad-Hoc Networks

Overview In wireless ad-hoc networks, network partitioning occurs when the mobile nodes move with diverse patterns and cause the network to separate into completely disconnected portions. Network partitioning is a widescale topology change that can cause sudden and severe disruptions to ongoing network routing and upper layer applications. Its occurrence can be attributed to the aggregate group motion exhibited in the movements of the mobile nodes. By exploiting the group mobility pattern, it can predict the future network partitioning, and thus minimize the amount of disruptions. This paper proposes a new characterization of group mobility based on existing group mobility models, which provides parameters that are sufficient for network partition prediction.

Opera raises curtain on mobile browsing

This is the kind of situation where Opera could potentially give Microsoft a run for its money in mobility. Versions of Opera for the desktop can be downloaded for free, but the free version displays advertisements; only the paid-for version comes...

The Bloor Perspective: Linux in utility computing, Ellison the visionary and hotspot models

It didn't happen because it was the best option or because it was purpose-designed to run a world-wide network with hundreds of millions of nodes. Their infrastructure initiatives are all quite similar and aimed at the idea of virtualising the...

Mesh networking goes industrial

Mesh networks work using a series of nodes -- typically very small, low-cost PCs with flash disks in place of hard drives -- to extend a Wi-Fi network from a broadband cable or satellite connection over large areas.

VoIP primer: How it works - and what the jargon means

But IP, of course, was not designed to provide a guaranteed quality of service (QoS) to the traffic it carries; it was originally designed as a way of diversely routing data to ensure redundancy in case network nodes were being jammed, crashed or...

Virtualisation gets trendy

Grid computing is also an example of resource aggregation, as it enables the virtualisation of distributed IT resources such as storage, bandwidth and CPU cycles, while splitting a mainframe into logical partitions is an example of partitioning.

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.
