Hierarchy between DEVs and PNC [Shao06a] Jeon, Choi, Rhee, Lee and Lee <ETRI/KWU>
MPNC Hierarchical Mesh Architecture [Shao06a] Jeon, Choi, Rhee, Lee and Lee <ETRI/KWU>
Example: Mesh MAC[Hiertz05] • Superframe equally slotted • Medium Access Slots (MAS) • Mesh WPAN devices serve .15.3 devices as PNC • Reserved MAS for piconet traffic Jeon, Choi, Rhee, Lee and Lee <ETRI/KWU>
15.5 Scope: Mesh Architecture • Agreements • Every mesh-capable PNC has to beacon • Distributed channel time sharing between mesh devices • Mutual coordination of neighbor’s channel time allocation Jeon, Choi, Rhee, Lee and Lee <ETRI/KWU>
Motivation • No central controller for the Mesh PNCs • Among the mesh devices, we still need • Fair channel time allocation • Decentralized admission control • Service differentiation • How can the channel time management be done ina distributed and fair manner? Jeon, Choi, Rhee, Lee and Lee <ETRI/KWU>
Problems Could be Hard… • Mesh devices will be on the move • They may join and leave the network frequently • It makes the resource allocation and admission control harder • Multimedia traffic transmissions • They usually have minimum bandwidth requirements • Sometimes exist maximum requirements Jeon, Choi, Rhee, Lee and Lee <ETRI/KWU>
Notation: Reservations among Mesh PNCs • Mesh PNCi reserves duration Ti of MAS • Their min/max requirements (mi / Mi) are given • Reservation vector T = (T1 ,…,TK ) is feasible if Jeon, Choi, Rhee, Lee and Lee <ETRI/KWU>
Algorithm 1: Computing the Share • Mesh PNCs take turns to make reservations • MPNC i , at its turn, Computes T1 Computes T2 Computes Tn ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ T1 T2 Tn MPNC-1 beacon MPNC-2 beacon MPNC-n beacon C = (reference) MPNC superframe Jeon, Choi, Rhee, Lee and Lee <ETRI/KWU>
Algorithm 2: Admission Control • Mesh PNC i makes a self-decision for joining the mesh network • During one Mesh Superframe, decision read m1 read m2 read mn ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ m1 m2 mn MPNC-1 beacon MPNC-2 beacon MPNC-n beacon C = (reference) MPNC superframe Jeon, Choi, Rhee, Lee and Lee <ETRI/KWU>
Example: Fairness & Convergence (1) • DTP length: 100 MAS • α1 = α2 = α3 = 0.5 Jeon, Choi, Rhee, Lee and Lee <ETRI/KWU>
Example: Fairness & Convergence (2) • DTP length: 100 MAS • α1 = α2 = α3 = 0.25 • DTP length: 100 MAS • α1 = α2 = α3 = 0.75 Jeon, Choi, Rhee, Lee and Lee <ETRI/KWU>
Example: Service Differentiation • α1 = 0.5 • α2 = 0.66 • α1 = 0.5 • α2 = 0.75 Jeon, Choi, Rhee, Lee and Lee <ETRI/KWU>
Example: Minimum Requirements • Min requirement of MPNC1: 30 MAS • α1 = α2 = α3 = 0.5 Jeon, Choi, Rhee, Lee and Lee <ETRI/KWU>
Example: Join/Leave of MPNCs Jeon, Choi, Rhee, Lee and Lee <ETRI/KWU>
Analytical Modeling [Rhee06] • Our resource allocation mechanism can be modeled as follows: where Ui is a strictly concave real function such that • Given C and T = (T1 ,…,TK ), this is a distributed optimization problem among the devices Jeon, Choi, Rhee, Lee and Lee <ETRI/KWU>
Gauss-Seidel Type Iteration • We adopt the Gauss-Seidel type iteration • Only one component of T is updated at a time • The most recent information is available to the devices • Let T(t) = (T1(t), …, TK(t)), our iterative equation is T(t+1) = F(T(t)), t = 0,1,… • In our implementation, • T(t) and T(t+1) are different only in their ith element • MPNC obtains info on T(t) from previous beacons • MPNCs are asynchronous: no pre-specified order among them Jeon, Choi, Rhee, Lee and Lee <ETRI/KWU>
Our Proof Shows that • All MPNCs converge to a unique equilibrium point T*, regardless of • Number of MPNCs • The values of αiand min/max requirements [mi , Mi] • Their reservations converge to T* • Always within a finite time • The amount of allocation at the equilibrium is Jeon, Choi, Rhee, Lee and Lee <ETRI/KWU>
Multi-Hop Mesh PNCs Jeon, Choi, Rhee, Lee and Lee <ETRI/KWU>
Example: Multi-Hop Mesh PNCs • MPNC 1, 2 &3 • MPNC 3 & 4 Jeon, Choi, Rhee, Lee and Lee <ETRI/KWU>
Conclusion • Distributed channel-time allocation for mesh WPANs • Fair allocation without a controller • Decentralized admission control • Service differentiation • Analytical modeling proves • Self-stabilizing property of our algorithm • Fair and differentiated allocation • Correctness of the simulation results Jeon, Choi, Rhee, Lee and Lee <ETRI/KWU>
