Multi-Access Services in Heterogeneous Wireless Networks Kameswari Chebrolu, Ramesh R. Rao Abstract Multi-Access Services BAG for Interactive Video Applications Interfaces=3, Total Bandwidth=600kbps Today's wireless world is characterized by heterogeneity. A variety of wireless interfaces are available to the mobile user to access Internet content. Examples include 802.11, Bluetooth, GPRS, CDMA2000, UMTS etc. When coverage areas of these different technologies overlap, a terminal equipped with multiple interfaces can use them simultaneously to improve the performance of its applications. We term the services enabled by such simultaneous use of multiple interfaces as Multi-Access Services. In this work, we develop a network layer architecture that supports multiple communication paths. We also implement most of the functional components that make up our architecture as proof of concept for the different services. We experiment with different application scenarios - Streaming video, Interactive video, TCP applications and propose necessary scheduling, buffer management algorithms and protocols to improve their performance. Our experiments carried on the test-bed and through simulations show that considerable improvement in performance can be achieved through use of multiple interfaces over single interface use. Internet Client Internet Network Proxy Internet Server Wireless Internet interfaces Base stations Bandwidth Aggregation (BAG) • If Ifa0=200kbps, Ifa1=100kbps, Ifa2=50kbps Total Bandwidth = 350kbps • Can improve quality of or support demanding applications! Mobility/Reliability Support • Significant Reduction in Handoff delay • Duplicated/Encoded packets sent on multiple paths provide high reliability WWAN Resource Sharing •Nodes form ad-hoc network using WLAN interface • The WWAN resources of a subset of nodes is shared among all nodes to access external Internet WLAN WLAN Introduction Internet WWAN Interface Video Server generates packets based on video frame size traces Internet paths simulated using delay traces collected on various Internet Paths Base-Stations serve packets on a first-come-first basis, no cross traffic (channel considered dedicated) Client begins video display after a fixed delay (Maximum Delay Bound). Client displays frames consecutively every t sec (frame period) after that. Arrival after playback deadline results in frame loss BAG for TCP Applications Challenges: Fluctuating bandwidths; TCP’s adverse reaction to packet reordering PET (Packet-Pair EDPF based scheduling for TCP) scheduling at Network Proxy Ad-hoc Network Recent mobile Internet growth spurred deployment of different wireless technologies GPRS, CDMA2000, HDR, 802.11, Bluetooth etc End-Users have flexibility regarding Interface choice Can choose any number of interfaces to best fit application needs Simultaneous use of multiple interfaces opens interesting possibilities Bandwidth Aggregation, Mobility/Reliability Support, Resource Sharing, Data-Control Plane Separation Challenges: Strict delay (QoS) requirements, packet reordering Earliest Delivery Path First (EDPF) scheduling algorithm at Proxy Considers overall path characteristics between proxy and client Schedules packet on the path which delivers the packet the earliest at the client Simulation carried using video frame and delay traces Data-Control Plane Separation • WWAN is used for out of band control communication • WLAN interface is used for mostly data communication •Helps distributed protocols such as routing Network Proxy Interfaces = 2, Individual Bandwidth = 1000kbps Based on EDPF, packets sent in pairs for bandwidth estimation Client implements Buffer Management Policy (BMP) BMP buffers packets and send them in order to TCP Thus, BMP hides residual reordering from TCP NS-2 based simulation Server initiates a large file transfer (FTP) Base-Stations introduce random cross-traffic Mix of FTP and Web flows Losses introduced via wireless errors and congestion at basestations Our Architecture BAG for Streaming Video Applications Base stations Internet Client Wireless interfaces Internet Internet Test-bed implementation Interfaces used - two 1xRTT cards Video Server generates packets based on video frame size trace file Network Proxy performs Weighted Round Robin (WRR) scheduling onto the multiple interfaces Client measures time needed to Buffer packets to enable continuous playback.
