Outline Introduction Carrier sense and Interference relation RSS based prediction Evaluation Conclusion
Introduction Estimate the carrier sensing and Predict interference Before: Symmetric CS relation This paper: Asymmetric CS relation Based on a mesh network testbeds Two links
Carrier sensing and Interference relation In a systems Energy-detection carrier sensing threshold 20dB (6 Mbps) CS range ≦ Communication range RSS: receiver signal strength
Carrier sensing and Interference relation C1 : Y (L2 can be sensed by L1) F1: Y (L1 suffers interference form L2)
Two Link Topologies Mutual CS No interference (INT)Mutually hidden INT Mutual INT One-way hidden INT
Normalized link throughput/goodput UDP packets: 1000bytes PHY rate: 6Mbps Broadcast/unicast transmission period: 30s TX throughput (traffic rate) RX goodput (traffic rate successfully delivered)
RSS based prediction RSS Measurement Methodology Carrier Sensing and TX Throughput Prediction Interference and RX Goodput Prediction
RSS Measurement Methodology Broadcast hello messages 6 Mbps High power and normal power HP = NP + Y dB
Carrier Sensing and TX Throughput Prediction RSS low RSS high
Carrier Sensing and TX Throughput Prediction S1 R1 S2 R2 r 1 = S 1 estimates by the RSS of hellos form S2 TX 1 =1- C*TX def,1 ^^
Interference and RX Goodput Prediction SIR at R 1 : sir 1 = r 11 –r 21 (dB) SIR : signal-to-interference-ratio
