A performance analysis study of multipath routing in a hybrid network with mobile users

摘要: Mobile communication platforms of individual agents and ground vehicles, ships aircrafts both civil military services often operate in highly dynamic conditions with constantly changing infrastructure access to resources. Efficient techniques for rapid yet stable such fleets their control centres between cooperating vehicles within the fleet is a challenging but important area study potential facilitate analysis design efficient robust systems. Multipath extensions data transmission protocols aim take advantage path diversity achieve bandwidth allocation while maintaining stability. Such multipath resource pooling routing congestion intrinsically implement decentralisation implicit sharing. In this paper, we build on recent theoretical work fluid model approximations TCP application scenarios which convoy two nodes (representing convoy's head tail) establishes channels set radio/WiFi towers satellite relaying information remote destination; these have time-varying capacities depend position dynamics convoy. The paper studies performance controller demonstrates how can be implicitly utilised spread flows across available paths. Furthermore, patterns sub-flows governed by according motion investigate trade-offs utilisation speed response sub-flows.
