Investigating a Physically-Based Signal Power Model for Robust Low Power Wireless Link Simulation Tal Rusak, Philip Levis MSWIM 2008
Goal • Presents an improvement to the TOSSIM simulator by suggesting a way to model reception power of wireless links
Outline • TOSSIM • Signal power generating algorithm • Constant • Log normal shadowing power model • CPM • Fill in the trace • Comparison Metrics • PRR • MK Distance
TOSSIM Signal Model • Assume signal power |S| to be constant • RSSI = |S+N|, |N| is the noise+interference value • Assumption is a simplification to reality.
Log normal shadowing power model • assumes that the received RF power between two nodes shows logarithmic pattern in the function of distance as follow: Desired signal power Gaussian random variable Path loss exponent Transmit power Reference distance
CPM Algorithm • CPM(Closest-fit Pattern Matching) • CPM algorithm uses an experimental trace to create a conditional model of observed values. • CPM scan the trace and computes a probability distribution of the expected value v given k prior values.
Collecting Signal Power Traces • Packet lost! • (1) filling in missing signal power values into the experimental trace • EVP (Expected Value PMF) Algorithm • Average Signal Power Value (AV) Algorithm • (2) correcting for the phase differences between noise and signal traces In phase -> addition: actual power < RSSI …………………. p= -1 Out of phase -> subtraction: actual power > RSSI ……… p = 1 Phase differences cancel each other out ……………………. P = 0
SNR -> PRR • SNR(Signal-to-Noise Ratio): • , => • |S| magnitude of the signal power of a received packet • |N| magnitude of any environmental noise or disruption • PRR(Packet Reception Rate) • SNR can be mapped to a PRR using the function -> (TI/Chipcon CC2420 SNR/PRR Curve)
Evaluation • Comparing simulation and experiment PRRs • KW Distance of Fixed-PRR simulations
CPDF • CPDF(Conditional packet delivery functions) • a conditional packet delivery function describes the probability that a packet will be received successfully given n previous failures or successes. • CPDF investigate trends in packet reception burstiness. • If packet losses are independent, then the CPDF is for the most part uniform. • If packet losses are bursty, then the CPDF is non-uniform.
KW Distance of Fixed-PRR simulation • KW (Kantorovich-Wasserstein) Distance • Quantify how much elements of two distributions would have to be shifted to make the two distributions equal.
Conclusion • Improve on the prediction of PRR for the following reasons: • Considers the variations in signal power which may account for some PRR variation • There are two algorithms proposed for filling-in experimentally determined signal power traces.
