“…In recent years, the NS-3 simulator is widely used for the analysis of different networks: some researchers propose implementations of new models for devices and channels, while the others use NS-3 for testing and evaluation of new protocols. Most of the NS-3 models are developed for different types of wireless networks, for instance: model of multi-radio multi-channel 802.11-based mesh network is given in [29], performance evaluation of WirelessHART network model is proposed in [30], and implementation of ETX metric within AODV protocol for WANETs is given in our previous work [31], [32]. Development and performance evaluation of a mobile IPv6 model for NS-3 is given in [33], while in [34] a framework for IPv6 based implementation of Lightweight On-demand Ad hoc Distance-vector next generation (LOADng) protocol is presented.…”

In recent years most of wireless ad hoc networks usually include a larger number of mobile nodes. To take this into account, routing protocols, initially proposed for static networks, need to be upgraded. Higher network performance can be achieved if a suitable routing metric is included, such as frequently used Expected Transmission Count (ETX). However, with ETX metric routing overhead is increased making it unusable for networks with a large number of mobile nodes. Therefore, we proposed ETX-based routing metrics called Light ETX (L-ETX), Light Reverse ETX (LR-ETX), and Power Light Reverse ETX (PLR-ETX) that reduce overhead and improve other network performances. In order to test the impact of proposed metrics on the network performance, all three metrics are implemented in the Network Simulator 3 (NS-3) within Ad hoc On Distance Vector (AODV) routing protocol. Since the NS-3 lacks standardized tools for network performance analysis, we developed Network Performance Analysis Framework (NPAF) and use it to compare the proposed metrics. NPAF provides support for network analysis based on key performance indicators such as throughput, packet delivery ratio (PDR), useful traffic ratio (UTR), end-to-end (E2E) delay, jitter, etc. NS-3 source code extensions are publicly available. INDEX TERMS Ad hoc on distance vector (AODV) routing protocol, expected transmission count (ETX) metric, key performance indicators (KPIs), network simulator 3 (NS-3), wireless ad hoc networks (WANETs).

Round Robin based Intermittent Periodic Transmit (RR-IPT) has been proposed which achieves highly efficient multi-hop relays in multi-hop wireless backhaul networks (MWBN) where relay nodes are 2-dimensionally deployed. This paper newly investigates multi-channel packet scheduling and forwarding scheme for RR-IPT. Downlink traffic is forwarded by RR-IPT via one of the channels, while uplink traffic and part of downlink are accommodated in the other channel. By comparing IPT and carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance (CSMA/CA) for uplink/downlink packet forwarding channel, IPT is more effective in reducing packet loss rate whereas CSMA/CA is better in terms of system throughput and packet delay improvement.

“…Static channel assignments are flexible to deploy but unsuccessful to sense the changes in the network environment [7]- [10]. The dynamic schemes enforce nodes to switch their interface channels dynamically between successive data transmissions in high synchronizations requirement [11]. Hybrid approaches combine the static and dynamic channels in which some part of interfaces are assigned to static channels and others to dynamic channels [12].…”

“…Llorenc presented a semi-dynamic and distributed algorithm named SICA [13] considering both external and internal interference. Furthermore, the same authors also validated SICA based on Morkov chains in [11] and proposed an automated test module to verify the simulation [14]. However, it is complicated and requires high synchronization.…”

The recent growth in the maritime industry stemming to increase in global commerce as well as searching for hydrocarbons at offshore locations, the high data rate and cost affordable maritime communication is acquired. A mesh network is envisaged for maritime communications because of its expanded coverage, self-healing, and high-capacity. With the development of multi-radio technology, the frequency interference can be decreased sharply with proper channel assignment. The static channel assignment optimization is often applied to decrease the wireless frequency interference which is known as an NP-hard problem. In this paper, we focus on the static channel assignment issue and propose a heuristic algorithm to solve the optimization problem. The problem is addressed by assigning channels to communication links to minimize the interference from overall network. A modified particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is proposed to optimize the problem, and a new merging solution is adopted to reassign channels for nodes, which violate the radio constraints. Multi-radio simulation is performed in NS-3 to validate the effectiveness of the proposed channel assignment algorithm. The results show that the algorithm is able to find an optimized assignment with fewer iterations than the previous work and improve network performance.INDEX TERMS Multi-radio multi-channel, channel assignment, wireless mesh networks, marine communication.
