In Mobile Unattended Wireless Sensor Networks (MUWSNs), nodes sense the environment and store the acquired data until the arrival of a trusted data sink. In this paper, we address the fundamental issue of quantifying to which extent secret sharing schemes, combined with nodes mobility, can help in assuring data availability and confidentiality. We provide accurate analytical results binding the fraction of the network accessed by the sink and the adversary to the amount of information they can successfully recover. Extensive simulations support our findings.

Many Internet events exhibit periodical patterns. Such events include the availability of end-hosts, usage of internetwork links for balancing load and cost of transit, traffic shaping during peak hours, etc. Internet monitoring systems that collect huge amount of data can leverage periodicity information for improving resource utilization. However, automatic periodicity inference is a non trivial task, especially when facing measurement “noise”. In this paper we present two methods for assessing the periodicity of network events and inferring their periodical patterns. The first method uses Power Spectral Density for inferring a single dominant period that exists in a signal representing the sampling process. This method is highly robust to noise, but is most useful for single-period processes. Thus, we present a novel method for detecting multiple periods that comprise a single process, using iterative relaxation of the time-domain autocorrelation function. We evaluate these methods using extensive simulations, and show their applicability on real Internet measurements of end-host availability and IP address alternations.

Due to a poor understanding of the interactions among transmitters, wireless multihop networks have commonly been stigmatized as unpredictable in nature. Even elementary questions regarding the throughput limitations of these networks cannot be answered in general. In this paper we investigate the behavior of wireless multihop networks using carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance (CSMA/CA). Our goal is to understand how the transmissions of a particular node affect the medium access, and ultimately the throughput, of other nodes in the network. We introduce a theory which accurately models the behavior of these networks and show that, contrary to popular belief, their performance is easily predictable and can be described by a system of equations. Using the proposed theory, we provide the analytical expressions necessary to fully characterize the capacity region of any wireless CSMA/CA multihop network. We show that this region is nonconvex in general and entirely agnostic to the probability distributions of all network parameters, depending only on their expected values.

The Internet global routing tables have been expanding at a dramatic and increasing rate. In this paper, we propose the next hop of strict partial order to construct and aggregate the Nexthop-Selectable FIB (NSFIB). We control the path stretch caused by NSFIB aggregation by setting an upper limit number of next hops. According to our simulation, our aggregation algorithms shrink the FIB to 5-15%, compared with 20-60% of single-nexthop FIB aggregation algorithms; our method works very well in controlling the path stretch.

Relay Stations (RSs) can be deployed in a wireless network to extend its coverage and improve its capacity. Smart (directional) antennas can enhance the functionalities of RSs by forming the beam only towards intended receiving Subscriber Stations (SSs). In this paper, we study a joint problem of selecting a beam width and direction for the smart antenna at each RS and determining the RS assignment for SSs in each scheduling period. The objective is to maximize a utility function that can lead to a stable and high-throughput system. We define this as the Beam Scheduling and Relay Assignment Problem (BS-RAP). We show that BS-RAP is NP-hard, present a Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) formulation to provide optimal solutions and present two polynomial-time greedy algorithms, one of which is shown to have a constant factor approximation ratio.

We consider a distributed detection application for a fusion center that has a limited time to make a global decision by collecting, weighting, and fusing local decisions made by nodes in a wireless sensor network that uses a random access channel. When this time is not long enough to collect decisions from all nodes in the network, a strategy is needed for collecting those with the highest reliability. This is accomplished with an easily implemented modification of the random access protocol: the collection time is divided into frames and only nodes with a particular range of reliabilities compete for the channel within each frame. Nodes with the most reliable decisions attempt transmission in the first frame; nodes with the next most reliable set of decisions attempt in the next frame; etc. We formulate an optimization problem that determines the reliability interval that defines who attempts in each frame in order to minimize the Detection Error Probability (DEP) at the fusion center. When the noise distribution affecting nodes' local decisions is continuous, symmetric, unimodal, and has a monotone likelihood ratio, reliability thresholds that maximize the channel throughput in each frame are optimal when the ratio of the collection time to the number of nodes is small. The number of frames that should be used depends on whether the average reliability or the worst-case reliability of local decisions in each frame is used to determine the DEP.

According to the recent rulings of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), TV white spaces (TVWS) can now be accessed by secondary users (SUs) after a list of vacant TV channels is obtained via a geo-location database. Proper business models are essential for database operators to manage the cost of maintaining geo-location databases. Database access can be simultaneously priced under two different schemes: the registration scheme and the service plan scheme. In the registration scheme, the database reserves part of the TV bandwidth for registered White Space Devices (WSD) in a soft-license way. In the service plan scheme, WSDs are charged according to their queries. In this paper, we investigate the business model for the TVWS database under a hybrid pricing scheme. We consider the scenario where a database operator employs both the registration scheme and the service plan scheme to serve the SUs. The SUs' choices of different pricing schemes are modeled as a non-cooperative game and we derive distributed algorithms to achieve the Nash Equilibrium (NE). Considering the NE of the SUs, the database operator optimally determines the pricing parameters for both pricing schemes in terms of bandwidth reservation, registration fee and query plans.

Today's data centers are shared among multiple tenants running a wide range of applications. These applications require a network with a scalable and robust layer-2 network management solution that enables load-balancing and QoS provisioning. Ensemble routing was proposed to achieve management scalability and robustness by using Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) and operating on the granularity of flow ensembles, i.e. group of flows. The key challenge of intra-data-center traffic engineering with ensemble routing is the combinatorial optimization of VLAN assignment, i.e., optimally assigning flow ensembles to VLANs to achieve load balancing and low network costs. Based on the Markov approximation framework, we solve the VLAN assignment problem with a general objective function and arbitrary network topologies by designing approximation algorithms with close-to-optimal performance guarantees. We study several properties of our algorithms, including performance optimality, perturbation bound, convergence of algorithms and impacts of algorithmic parameter choices. Then we extend these results to variants of VLAN assignment problem, including interaction with TCP congestion and QoS considerations. We validate our analytical results by conducting extensive numerical experiments. The results show that our algorithms can be tuned to meet different temporal constraints, incorporate fine-grained traffic management, overcome traffic measurement limitations, and tolerate imprecise and incomplete traffic matrices.
今天的数据中心是在运行各种应用程序的多个租户之间共享的。这些应用程序需要具有可扩展且健壮的第二层网络管理解决方案的网络，该解决方案支持负载平衡和QoS供应。集成路由利用虚拟局域网(Virtual Local Area Networks, vlan)，在流集成(flow ensembles)的粒度(即流组)上进行操作，以实现管理的可扩展性和鲁棒性。集成路由下的数据中心内流量工程面临的关键挑战是VLAN分配的组合优化，即将流量集成最优地分配到VLAN中，以实现负载均衡和低网络成本。基于马尔可夫近似框架，通过设计性能保证接近最优的近似算法，解决了具有一般目标函数和任意网络拓扑的VLAN分配问题。我们研究了算法的性能最优性、摄动界、算法的收敛性和算法参数选择的影响。然后，我们将这些结果扩展到VLAN分配问题的变体，包括与TCP拥塞的交互和QoS考虑。我们通过大量的数值实验来验证我们的分析结果。结果表明，我们的算法可以调整以满足不同的时间约束，结合细粒度的交通管理，克服交通测量限制，并容忍不精确和不完整的交通矩阵。

In this paper, we introduce the Moana network infrastructure. It draws on well-adopted practices from the database and software engineering communities to provide a robust and expressive information-sharing service using hypergraph-based network indirection. Our proposal is twofold. First, we argue for the need for additional layers of indirection used in modern information systems to bring the network layer abstraction closer to the developer's world, allowing for expressiveness and flexibility in the creation of future services. Second, we present a modular and extensible design of the network fabric to support incremental architectural evolution and innovation, as well as its initial evaluation.

We consider the optimal transmission power control of a single wireless node with stochastic energy harvesting and an infinite/saturated queue with the objective of maximizing a certain reward function, e.g., the total data rate. We develop simple control policies that achieve near optimal performance in the finite-horizon case with finite energy storage. The same policies are shown to be asymptotically optimal in the infinite horizon case for sufficiently large energy storage. Such policies are typically difficult to directly obtain using a Markov Decision Process (MDP) formulation or through a dynamic programming framework due to the computational complexity. We relate our results to those obtained in the unsaturated regime, and highlight a type of threshold-based policies that is universally optimal.
