This however raises the problem of the selection method to be +used for the choice of the wireless networks to associate with, in order to provide the best +performance. Moreover, mobility events may result in poor application quality, due to +either a disruption in connectivity during the handover or the heterogeneity of the charac- +teristic of different access networks. To address these problems, this thesis introduces and +studies all three elements (observation, decision, action) of a control framework to enable +better use of available network resources. +We first show that a decision mechanism which directly considers the relevant user- and +application-centric metrics is more appropriate than using the common network metrics- +based indirect approach. This mechanism is used to control the entire network stack +of the mobile node in a coordinated way, rather than individual components, to avoid +potentially conflicting combinations. Our results indicate that, by exploiting the flexibility +of application parameters, it is possible to maintain high application quality while reducing +both the power consumption and access price. +We then introduce a mobility-aware extension to the {TCP}-Friendly Rate Control mechan- +ism ({TFRC}), as an action element, to address the disruption in connectivity resulting from +the mobility events. We propose to suspend the transmission before disconnections and to +probe the network after reconnections. Simulations demonstrate how this enables faster +recovery after disconnected periods as well as a significantly improved adaptation to the +newly available network conditions. When used with the Datagram Congestion Control +Protocol ({DCCP}), experiments show that it provides better support for real-time applica- +tions for which the user-perceived quality is very dependent on the immediate transmission +rate. +Finally, we present an experimental process to evaluate the {OMF} Measurement Library +({OML}), a lightweight instrumentation and reporting tool which we propose to use as the +observation element of our framework. We show that this library does not significantly +impact the performance of the instrumented applications, while accurately reporting the +observed metrics.}, + address = {Paris, France / Sydney, Australia}, + author = {Mehani, Olivier}, + day = {14}, + howpublished = {French title ``Contributions aux m\'{e}canismes de r\'{e}seau pour un usage adaptatif des ressources mobiles''}, + keywords = {analysis, cross-layer, dccp, evaluation, flowdistribution, imara, inria, ipv6, lara, mcoa, minesparistech, minizinc, mipv6, mobility, network, networkresearchgroup, nicta, ns-2, oliviermehani, oml, phd, qoe, simulation, stack, tfrc, transport, unsw}, + month = dec, + school = {Mines ParisTech / University of New South Wales}, + title = {Contributions to Mechanisms for Adaptive Use of Mobile Network Resources}, + url = {http://olivier.mehani.name/publications/2011mehani\_adaptive\_use\_mobile\_networks\_phd.pdf}, + year = {2011} +} |
