Intelligent Routing and Bandwidth Allocation in Wireless Networks

Tags:
switching

Overview Sensor networks and satellite constellations face a number of challenges for reliable and robust communications. Increasingly heterogeneous nodes and a multitude of new emerging Earth science applications put additional restrictions on throughput and delay requirements. These problems are further aggravated by energy and bandwidth constraints on the network nodes. Quality of service and performance of such wireless networks, in the presence of such issues, are greatly affected by network routing and bandwidth allocation. This paper proposes a new class of routing algorithms based on principles of biological swarms, which have the potential to address these problems in an autonomous and intelligent fashion.

Peter Cochrane's Blog: More wireless equals more wires

The inclusion of more intelligent computing power will allow the use and reuse of both the physical and frequency space even more efficiently so we can access more than 100-fold the bandwidth we enjoy today.

Next-gen wi-fi to serve up IPTV?

Airgo has already been supplying wireless routing companies such as Linksys with high-performing wi-fi chips using a technology called Mimo, or multiple input, multiple output, which improves wi-fi's range and throughput.

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?
