'''Abstract:'''
 
<blockquote>
 
Accurate interference models are important for use in transmission scheduling algorithms in wireless networks. In
 
this work, we perform extensive modeling and experimentation on two 20-node TelosB motes testbeds { one indoor and
 
the otheroutdoor { to compare a suite of interference models for their modeling accuracies. We ¯rst empirically
 
build and validate the physical interference model via a packet reception rate vs. SINR relationship using a
 
measurement driven method. We then similarly instantiate other simpler models,such as hop-based, range-based, prot-
 
ocol model,etc. The modeling accuracies are then evaluated on the two testbeds using transmission scheduling exper-
 
iments. We observe that while the physicalinterference model is the most accurate, it is still far from perfect,
 
providing a 90-percentile error about 20-25% (and 80 percentile error 7-12%),depending on the scenario. The accura-
 
cy of the other models is worse and scenario-speci¯c. The second best model trails the physical model by roughly
 
12-18 percentile points for similar accuracy targets. Somewhat similar throughput performance di®erential between
 
models is also observed when used with greedy scheduling algorithms. Carrying on further, we look closely into the
 
the two incarnations of the physical model {`thresholded'(conservative, but typically considered in literature)
 
and `graded' (more realistic). We show via solving the one shot scheduling problem, that the graded version can
 
improve `expected throughput' over the thresholded version by scheduling imperfect links.

Revision as of 21:58, 25 December 2008

This seminar examines fundamental and emerging concepts in concurrency and distribution by studying seminal papers and recent research results. Broad topics of interest include models of concurrency, mobile computing, parallel architectures, sensor networks, distributed algorithms, and specialized protocols. Each semester, the seminar emphasizes different themes reflecting the current research interests of the participants.

The theme of this semester's seminar is Wireless Sensor Networks. We will read and discuss papers from recent major conferences on mobile, wireless, and sensor networks and systems. These conferences include:

When choosing a paper to present, you may look through the conferences mentioned above, or view the list of potential papers.
