Accommodating Disruption-Tolerant Networks Paradigm in GENI: A Mobile Wireless Communication Approach

This paper explores the integration of Disruption-Tolerant Networks (DTNs) within the GENI facility, focusing on the implications of mobility and sparse wireless networks. It introduces the concept of Mobility-Assisted Data Delivery and discusses novel routing strategies like Epidemic Routing in the context of mobile environments. The paper highlights the importance of acknowledging DTNs as a significant class of wireless networks, emphasizing the need to adapt the GENI facility to accommodate the unique characteristics of DTNs. Challenges and opportunities in navigating the Wireless/Mobile Network space and applying relevant terminology are also discussed, providing insights into mapping solutions within the dynamic WAM space.

  1. Accommodating the Disruption-Tolerant Network Paradigm within GENI Mostafa Ammar College of Computing Georgia Institute of Technology Atlanta, GA DTN

  2. The Rise of DTNs

  3. The Main Message • DTNs: Where mobility is your friend • A novel realistic network paradigm • DTNs: The rest of the ICEBERG • MANETS are really a special case! • Challenge for GENI: So Many Wireless Networks and so little time. • The goal should be the entire WAM space

  4. Sparse Wireless Networks • Disconnected • By Necessity • By Design (e.g. for power considerations) • Mobile • With enough mobility to allow for some connectivity over time • Data paths may not exist at any one point in time but do exist over time

  5. Mobility-Assisted Data Delivery:A New Communication Paradigm • Mobility used for connectivity • New Forwarding Paradigm Store Carry for a while forward • Special nodes: Transport entities that are not sources or destinations

  16. The DTN paradigm • Mobility-Assisted Data Delivery • FINALLY! A realistic mobile wireless network paradigm • Everything looks familiar but this is a truly different environment • Techniques developed have wide applicability • Fertile Ground for both networking problems and novel application paradigms

  17. DTNs and GENI • DTNs are an important class of wireless/mobile networks • Should accommodate the DTN paradigm within the GENI facility • Is this Yet Another Network? • Is this a distraction

  18. The Wireless/Mobile Network Space • Need to distinguish • Mobile/Wireless Environment • Techniques we apply to achieve communication

  19. Some Terminology • A Space Path: A multi-hop path where all the links are active at the same time • A Space/Time Path: A multi-hop path that exists over time • NOTE: S path is a special case of S/T path

  20. Example A Space Paths Network

  21. Example A No Path Network

  22. Example A Space Time Path

  23. Example A Hybrid Network

  24. Space/Time Paths No (Space/Time) Paths Space Paths The Wireless and Mobile (WAM) Space High “Mobility” Hybrid Environments Low Low High Node Density

  25. Space/Time Paths MF is applicable for the entire space MF is necessary here Epidemic Routing necessary here Epidemic Routing usable here Hybrid Environments No (Space/Time) Paths Traditional MANET solutions apply here Space Paths Mapping Solutions to WAM Space High “Mobility” Low Low High Node Density

  26. DTNs in GENI • Will come naturally if GENI facility accommodates entire wireless/mobile network space. • Challenges: • Formalizing/parametrizing Space (including mobility modeling) • Accommodating mobility in facility (intrinsic and controlled) • Ability to navigate WAM space in experimental design
