  1. Wireless “ESP”: Using Sensors to Develop Better Network Protocols Lenin Ravindranath Calvin Newport, Hari Balakrishnan, Sam Madden Massachusetts Institute of Technology

  2. Big Changes in Access Devices • 172M smartphones sold worldwide in 2009 • 25% of US phone market; 50% in two years • Smartphones and tablets will exceed PC sales by 2011 • Mobile Internet growing at a tremendous pace

  3. Big Changes in Access Devices Dominant mode of data access in the future

  4. “Truly Mobile” Devices • Often switch between static and mobile • Exhibit a variety of mobility modes • Move through different environments

  5. The Problem • Protocols need to adapt to different settings • Mobility mode impacts wireless performance • Most protocols optimized for static settings • They perform poorly during mobility • Protocols that compensate for mobility are not optimal in static settings

  6. Static vs. Mobile • Channel constantly changing • Channel assessments quickly outdated • Protocols should not maintain long histories • Channel relatively stable • Protocols can average estimates • Ignore short-term variations

  7. Static vs. Mobile • Topology changing rapidly • Probe for links more often • Compute routes over shorter time scales • Topology is hardly changing • Probe for links less frequently • Compute routes over long time scales

  8. Current Wireless Protocols • Do not differentiate between mobility modes • Attempt to adapt to both settings implicitly using measurements of packet loss, SNR, BER • Leading to suboptimal performance • Lack of explicit knowledge about prevalent mobility mode • Can we do better?

  22. Rate Adaptation in Wireless Networks 802.11a/g bit rates 6 Mbps 9 Mbps 12 Mbps 18 Mbps 24 Mbps 36 Mbps 48 Mbps 54 Mbps Packet encoded at a particular bit rate Rate Adaptation: Finding the best bit rate to transmit a packet

  23. Static vs. Mobile Performance • Static and walkingtraces • Cycle through bit rates • 4 different environments • 80 traces, 20 seconds long • Trace-driven simulation • TCP throughput Compare to optimal throughput

  24. Static vs. Mobile Loss Patterns Probability that packet i+k is lost given packet i is lost 10 ms k Losses are more bursty when a node is mobilethan when a node is static

  25. RapidSample • 1. After a single loss • Reduce rate 6 Mbps 9 Mbps 12 Mbps 18 Mbps 24 Mbps 36 Mbps 48 Mbps 54 Mbps 6 Mbps 9 Mbps 12 Mbps 18 Mbps 24 Mbps 36 Mbps 48 Mbps 54 Mbps 6 Mbps 9 Mbps 12 Mbps 18 Mbps 24 Mbps 36 Mbps 48 Mbps 54 Mbps • 2. History - 10 ms • Don’t retry a failed rate • Or any higher rate [failed – within last 10ms] • 3. Channel not degrading, probably improving • After few successes, sample higher rate not failed • If wrong, come back to the original rate [failed – within last 10ms]

  26. RapidSample, when device is moving • Trace driven (ns3) • 30 traces • 20 seconds long • TCP throughput Up to 75% better throughput than SampleRate 25% better than other protocols

  27. But when static… • Trace driven (ns3) • 30 traces • 20 seconds long • TCP throughput Up to 30% lower throughput than other schemes

  28. Hint-Aware Rate Adaptation Wireless Protocol Stack • RapidSample when movement • SampleRate when static Application GPS Transport Compass Network Accl Rate Adaptation Movement Gyro PHY Wireless Radio Movement
