  1. MIT Roofnet Performance MSR Mesh Summit, June 2004 Robert Morris Daniel Aguayo, John Bicket, Sanjit Biswas, Douglas De Couto, Glenn Judd http://pdos.lcs.mit.edu/roofnet

  2. Roofnet node map 1 kilometer

  3. Typical rooftop view

  4. Roofnet radio links 1 kilometer

  5. A Roofnet Self-Installation Kit 50 ft. Cable ($40) Low loss (3dB/100ft) Antenna ($65) 8dBi, 20 degree vertical Miscellaneous ($75) Chimney Mount, Lightning Arrestor, etc. Computer ($340) 533 MHz PC, hard disk, CDROM Software (“free”) Our networking software based on Click 802.11b card ($155) Engenius Prism 2.5, 200mW Total:$685 Takes a user about 45 minutes to install on a flat roof

  6. Roofnet Node Software sshd apache dhcpd User-space Linux Kernel Linux TCP/IP ETX NAT antenna srcrr Click 802.11b eth Living-room ethernet

  7. Basic Roofnet performance • High TCP throughput even w/ many hops • Why is 2-hop b/w less than half 1-hop b/w?

  8. Multi-hop collisions cut b/w by about 2x • x-axis: expected multi-hop b/w based on single-hop b/w • y-axis: actual Roofnet b/w is often much lower

  9. Roofnet link quality distribution 1 megabit/second Packet Delivery Probability 11 mbits/sec Node Pair • Why do most links have intermediate loss rates?

  10. S/N vs loss w/ cable + attenuator • In principle, the intermediate-loss S/N region is narrow

  11. S/N vs loss for Roofnet links • Roofnet loss rates cannot be explained by S/N

  12. Effect of transmit power level on Roofnet • Higher tx power increases radio “range” • Increase in # of links between 1/r2 and 1/r3

  13. What is a typical radio range? Delivery probability Distance (Meters)

  14. Would a less-dense mesh work? • Roofnet is about twice as dense as it needs to be • Higher densities provide higher throughput

  15. Mesh versus access points • 5 APs are required for full connectivity • N mesh gateways give higher throughput than N APs

  16. Conclusions • Roofnet provides Internet access to 40+ users • Even 9-hop routes average 150 kilobits/second • Radio range up to 2km • Hard to beat mesh performance w/ access points • Multi-hop packet loss costs about a factor of two

  17. Transmit bit-rate choice 11 megabits/second 5.5 Packets/second received 2 1 Node Pair

  18. How reliant on the “best” nodes? Average Throughput (KB/s) Number of Best Nodes Eliminated
