Optimization driven multi-hop network design and experimentation: the approach of the FP7 project OPNEX

摘要: The OPNEX project exemplifies system and optimization theory as the foundations for algorithms that provably maximize capacity of wireless networks. termed in abstract network models have been converted to protocols architectures practically applicable systems. A validation methodology through experimental protocol evaluation real testbeds has proposed used. uses recent advances theoretic control, including Back-Pressure principle, max-weight scheduling, utility optimization, congestion primaldual method extracting algorithms. These approaches exhibited vast potential achieving high full exploitation resources found their way reality performance developed a result research conducted within OPNEX.
