Areas of Interest to contribute (1) MESA goals: • Connectivity irrespective of time and place, incl. operation in areas where public telecommunication infrastructure has been partially destroyed or is overloaded • High level of mobility • “Always best connected” Proposed research contributions • Ad hoc multihop wireless broadband system design • Integration of broadband wireless networks into terrestrial cellular radio networks • Integration of broadband wireless networks into satellite systems
Areas of Interest to contribute (2) 4. System Comparison/Evaluation based on Tools and Scenarios • ComNets has its own unique tools for system level performance evaluation. • The most important system level simulators are • GPRSim: GPRS/EDGE systems • URIS: UMTS radio interface protocol simulator • MOSS: Mobile satellite systems • TETRIS: TETRA radio interface protocol simulator • WARP2: IEEE 802.11a/b/e and HiperLAN/2 protocols • W-CHAMBSim: ComNets Broadband WLAN designed for MESA • GOOSE: Combined link and system level simulator for GSM/(E)GPRS, TETRA, UMTS, WLAN Envisaged effort: 4 man-years per year over project duration
System Level Simulation Environment ADTs - Random Generator - Statistical Evaluation • Simulation Parameter • other Protocols formally specified in SDL Y X SDL2SPEETCL SPEET = SDL Performance Evaluation Environment and Tools SPEET Class Library
Example Analysis: One Hop Scenario Ethernet Ethernet Ethernet Fixed core network N-ISDN Ethernet AP MPEG Ethernet Ethernet Ethernet • MPEG download video stream (5 Mb/s), the packet sizes are read from the trace file. • One duplex N-ISDN connection (64 kb/s) • Eight terminals exchanging Ethernet packets in a circular way, the Ethernet packet sizes are read from the trace file. Date rates are varied to model different loads. • The transmission rates of HiperLAN/2, IEEE 802.11a and W-CHAMB are 27 Mb/s, 24Mb/s and 24Mb/s, respectively • PCF is used in IEEE 802.11a to serve the MPEG and N-ISDN services. RTS/CTS threshold of DCF is 500 bytes. Ethernet
One Hop Traffic Performance Results • The prioritized services N-ISDN and MPEG are served completely under the all load conditions. • The maximum throughput of W-CHAMB for the Ethernet service is a little lower than that of H/2, but significantly higher than that of IEEE 802.11a. • W-CHAMB is able to guarantee QoS for N-ISDN and MPEG services without a central control. • H/2 has the best traffic performance in this one hop scenario. • IEEE 802.11a can support QoS for real time traffic with its PCF that functions only in a fully connected network.
