Explore UCLA/CSD's innovative research on Delay-Tolerant Networks (DTN) for scenarios with intermittent connectivity, including solutions for data transmission in disrupted environments like MANETs. The proposed Ad-hoc Storage Overlay System (ASOS) enhances data delivery reliability and performance evaluation in challenging scenarios.

DTN Background • DTN: new network architecture for scenarios with intermittent connectivity • Interplanetary communications, • Communications between remote villages (example on previous slide), • Communications with mobile users, etc. • Common DTN characteristics: • Data is aggregated into bundles at intermediate node where connection breaks up. • Bundles await the re-establishment of connectivity • Bundles are sent in steps from one disconnect point to the next until they reach destination (rather than using a single end-to-end file transfer). UCLA/CSD
Ad-hoc Storage Overlay System (ASOS) • In MANETs (Mobile AdHoc Networks), connectivity is often disrupted due to mobility, interference, failures, etc. • ASOS: Ad-hoc Storage Overlay System • Proposed DTN approach for MANETs • Peer-to-peer model • Data are transmitted end-to-end directly, if a path exists. • Otherwise, data are stored in the overlay in a redundant and distributed fashion.

Performance Evaluation: Vehicle Scenario • ASOS implemented in QualNet • Virtual Track (VT) mobility model • Battlefield scenario: • 7 “switch stations” • 4 tank platoons, with 5 tanks each • 5 HUMVEEs • 5 relay stations • Traffic: • CBR, 5 sources to one destination (command post), all moving UCLA/CSD
Instantaneous Throughput • Conventional scheme: • instantaneous throughput always below input rate. • ASOS: • Instantaneous throughput may go above input. • Reason: stored data is transmitted later when connectivity improves. UCLA/CSD
Delivery Ratio • Overall, at the end of the data transfer, ASOS manages to deliver twice as much data as the conventional scheme UCLA/CSD
