Cross-layer algorithms for mobile wireless networks
Abstract
Cross-layer design for mobile wireless networks is becoming increasingly important. This is due to the limited wireless resources, dynamic network topology, and the different quality of service requirements of applications. How to enable various data applications on the resource-limited wireless networks under dynamic environments is the focus of this dissertation. Cross-layer design is employed such that different layers cooperate in an organized and optimal or sub-optimal way. Several cross-layer algorithms and protocols are proposed and investigated for different mobile wireless networks, including cross-layer rate and error control algorithms for real-time data transmission over error-prone wireless links, cross-layer overlay searching protocol for wireless mesh networks, efficient and reliable cross-layer data broadcast algorithms for wireless personal area networks or sensor networks, and cross-layer analysis of the capacity of any-size wireless ad hoc networks with application to ultra wideband ad hoc networks.
