Network Topology Control: Traffic Effectiveness, k-Resiliency, and External Constraint Optimization
Abstract
In this report, we summarize research into wireless network topology control to manage interference produced by the network while also improving resiliency and traffic efficiency. In past work, topology control solutions largely focused on optimal energy conservation, but such solutions result in poor traffic performance and fragility due to the sparse connections. Past solutions also do not focus on external interference constraints, multicast communications, or significant network heterogeneity. To address these shortcomings, this project investigated and developed solutions to quantitatively adapt resiliency while managing complex operating constraints and varying network traffic and routing types. Network connection resilience impacts network data transport in complex ways, so traffic effectiveness is examined by this effort in both simulation and emulation. We demonstrate that small increases in connectivity can lead to dramatic improvements in traffic delivery effectiveness. Work to be presented covers topology control designs, constraint-based models, and connected dominating set (CDS) topology approaches to minimize additive transmission energy impacting external location along with experimentation of expected network performance under both static and dynamic conditions.
