| Abstract: | This paper illustrates how networking protocols
can inadvertently exacerbate obstacles to providing real-time
guarantees for distributed problem solving in wireless mobile and
sensor networks. We analyze the effects of control packet timing
on providing quality of service guarantees. Inappropriate timing
of control packets gives rise to synchronizations that result in
sharp increases and decreases in throughput with small changes
in node speed. Such synchronizations can seriously jeopardize
network performance with direct effect on real-time guarantees.
This paper introduces these synchronizations, analyzes them and
suggests ways to modify the control packet timing to overcome
them. These analyses include investigating the role of buffering
at the network layer and its impact on network throughput. We
analyze these effects and evaluate our protocol enhancements
through simulation studies. |
