National Taiwan University Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering Broadcast  Function: paging a particular host sending an alarm signal finding a route to a particular host  Two type: Be notified -> topology change Be shortest -> finding route  Objective: Reliability (all nodes have received the broadcast packet) Optimization

National Taiwan University Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering The difference of two type source Be notifiedBe shortest 5 forwarding nodes 4 hop time source 6 forwarding nodes 3 hop time

National Taiwan University Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering Difference between wired and wireless networks  Broadcast property  Reliability: CSMA/CD vs. CSMA/CA RTS/CTS/data/ACK procedure is too cumbersome to implement for broadcast Simultaneous transmission and hidden node problem  Expensive bandwidth  Therefore the flooding which is the simple broadcast mechanism in wired networks is not suitable in wireless networks (broadcast storm problem)

National Taiwan University Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering Broadcast Storm  Many retransmissions are redundant Because radio propagation is omnidirectional and a physical location may be covered by the transmission ranges of several nodes  Heavy contention could exist Because retransmitting nodes are probably close to each other  Collisions are more likely to occur Because the RTS/CTS dialogue is inapplicable and the timing of retransmissions is highly correlated

National Taiwan University Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering The essence of broadcast problem  Reliability Reliable MAC negotiation Collision avoidance  Reduce redundant rebroadcasts  Avoid Simultaneous transmission  Optimization Minimize the forwarding nodes Minimize the power consumption

National Taiwan University Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering Reliable MAC negotiation  Extend RTS/CTS for broadcast Waiting for all neighbors to be ready  RTS collision ?  Forwarding ? Sending broadcast packets anyway  Affect other transmission Repeatedly broadcast until all neighbor received  Acknowledgement A The neighborhood state of mobile nodes is under control by RTS/CTS

National Taiwan University Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering Collision avoidance  Reduce redundant rebroadcasts (minimize forwarding nodes) Be shortest  minimum forwarding set Be notified  minimum broadcasting set  Avoid Simultaneous transmission Different timing of rebroadcasts

National Taiwan University Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering Minimum Forwarding Set Problem  Define: Given a source A let D and P be the sets of k and k+1 hop neighbors of A Find a minimum-size subset F of D such that every node in P is within the coverage area of at least one node from F  In general graph: NP-complete: reduce “ Set Cover ” to it Approximation ratio: logn  In unit disk graph: Unknown Approximation ratio: constant (by reference [1])

National Taiwan University Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering Minimum Broadcasting Set Problem  Define: Given a source A Find a spanning tree T such that the number of internal nodes is minimum  In general graph: NP-hard: hard to “ Minimum Connected Dominating Set ” Approximation ratio: log ( is the maximum node degree)  In unit disk graph: NP-hard Approximation ratio: constant (by reference [2])

National Taiwan University Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering Optimization  Minimize the power consumption (Minimum-Energy Broadcast Tree Problem)  Define: Given a wireless ad hoc network M = (N,L) A source node s to broadcast a message from s to all the other nodes such that the sum of transmission powers at all nodes is minimized  Same as the Steiner Tree problem in directed graph: NP-complete: reduce “ 3-CNF SAT ” to it Approximation ratio: n

National Taiwan University Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering Categorization of present protocols  Simple flooding  Area based method (by reference [3]) Counter based scheme Distance based scheme Location based scheme  Neighbor knowledge method Neighborhood base Set cover base MCDS base

National Taiwan University Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering Area Based Method 1

National Taiwan University Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering Area Based Method 2  Maximum additional coverage of previous transmission:  Average additional coverage: ≈ 0.41  r 2  Average additional coverage after having received a broadcast message twice: ≈ 0.19  r 2

National Taiwan University Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering Area Based Method 3 The expected additional coverage after hearing the message k times, is expected to decrease quickly as k increases.

National Taiwan University Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering Area Based Method 4  Counter based scheme: Using “ Random Assessment Delay ” (RAD) The counter is incremented by one for each redundant packet received If the counter is less than a threshold value when the RAD expires, the packet is rebroadcast. Otherwise, it is simply dropped

National Taiwan University Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering Area Based Method 5  Distance based scheme: Using “ Random Assessment Delay ” (RAD) Estimating the distance d between sender and receiver by signal strength Calculate the additional coverage by d (additional coverage = ) If the additional coverage which is calculated by the minimum distance is more than a threshold value when the RAD expires, the packet is rebroadcast. Otherwise, it is simply dropped

National Taiwan University Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering Area Based Method 6  Location based scheme: Using “ Random Assessment Delay ” (RAD) Adding location information to the header of the broadcast packets Calculate the additional coverage by k location information which are received during RAD  Difficult to calculate exactly  Using grid-filling approximation If the additional coverage is more than a threshold value, the packet is rebroadcast. Otherwise, it is simply dropped

However, some nodes in U are not i+2 level nodes, and some nodes in N(v i )-N(v j ) are not i+1 level nodes.

Ultra WideBand Technology (UWB) By Chiang Jui-Hao

What is Ultra Wideband? Originally referred to “baseband”, “carrier-free”, or impulse Any wireless transmission scheme occupies a bandwidth of more than 25% of a center frequency, or more than 1.5GHz

Compare with narrowband and wideband UWB systems have two characteristics Bandwidth is much greater, Defined by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), is more than 25% of a center frequency or more than 1.5GHz Carrierless fashion “narrowband” and “wideband” use RF UWB directly modulate an "impulse" that has a very sharp rise and fall time

UWB in Short Range Wireless Spatial capacity : (bps/m 2 ) higher bit rates concentrated in smaller areas For users gather in crowded spaces, the most critical parameter of a wireless system will be its spatial capacity [1]

Compare with IEEE and Bluetooth (cont.) UWB have greater spatial capacity From the Hartley- Shannon law Potential for support of future high-capacity wireless systems

Notice of Proposed Rule Making In May of 2000, the FCC issued a Notice of Proposed Rule Making (NPRM) limit UWB transmitted power spectral density for frequencies greater than 2GHz.

Ultra-Wideband transceiver Advantages: UWB is a “carrierless” system,thus we can remove traditional blocks such as carrier recovery loop,mixer…etc. High data rate and number of users. Robustness to multi-path fading. [3]

UWB Advantages Extremely difficult to intercept Short pulse excitation generates wideband spectra – low energy densities Low energy density also minimizes interference to other services Multipath immunity Time-gated detector can excise delayed returns - time separation

UWB Advantages (cont.) Commonality of signal generation and processing architectures Communications LPI/D, High Data Rates, Multipath Tolerance Radar Inherent high precision – sub-centimeter ranging Wideband excitation for detection of complex, low RCS targets Low cost Nearly “all-digital” architecture Ideal for microminiaturization into a chipset Frequency diversity with minimal hardware modifications

UWB Signal in multi-path fading channel Multi-path fading results from the destructive interference caused by the sum of several received paths that may be out of phase with each other.The very narrow pulses of UWB waveforms result in the multiple reflections being resolved independently rather than combining destructively.
