Wireless landscape • Growing demand for wireless access • Mechanisms for better than best-effort service provision Admission control, channel switching, load balancing, roaming • Performance analysis of these mechanisms • Majority of studies make high-level observations about traffic dynamics in tempo-spatial domain • Models of network &user activityin various spatio-temporalscales are required • Limited studies and testbeds for DTNs

Modelling objectives • Important dimensions on wireless network modelling • user demand (access & traffic) • topology (network, infrastructure, radio propagation) • Structures that are well-behaved, robust, scalable & reusable • Publicly available analysis tools, traces, & models

Modeling structures • Session • arrival process • starting AP • Flow within session • arrival process • number of flows • size Captures interaction between clients & network Above packet level for traffic analysis & closed-loop traffic generation
Tradeoffs in spatio-temporal modeling Objective Scale
Summary of modeling results Multi-level parametric modelling of wireless demand • Network-wide models: • Time-varying Poisson process for session arrivals • biPareto for in-session flow numbers & flow sizes • Lognormal for in-session flow interarrivals • Validation of models over two different periods • Same distributions apply for modeling at finer spatial scales building-level, groups of buildings with similar usage • Evaluation of scalability-accuracy tradeoff
