QoS Routing in Ad-Hoc Networks

26.11.2004

What is QoS?QoS is the performance level of service offered by a network to the user. The Goal of QoS is to achieve a more deterministic network behavior so that the information carried by the network can be better delivered and the resources can be better utilized. QoS routing is the process of providing end to end loop free paths to ensure the necessary QoS parameters are met.

QoS AODV Protocol (1)Perkins extended the basic AODV to provide QoS support in ad-hoc networks. QoS AODV include Object extension on Route Request (RREQ) and Route Reply (RREP) messages which specifies bandwidth and/or delay parameters during the phase of route discovery. A node becomes a hop on the route only if it can meet the requirements specified in the RREQ. If the Route has been already established and the QoS requirement specified cannot be met no longer the node originates an ICMP QOS_LOST message back to the source.17QoS Routing in Ad-Hoc Networks 26.11.2004

QoS AODV Protocol (2)There are also two similar mechanisms for guaranteeing maximum delay and minimum available band width on a path. For delay every time the node receives a RREQ it subtracts from the delay the value carried by RREQ the NODE_TRAVERSAL_TIME (time required by the node to process RREQ). If the result is negative then the packet is discarded . For Bandwidth guaranteeing ,the value carried in RREQ is compared to the available link capacity.If the available link capacity is lower the packet is discarded .when the destination node replies with a RREP each node forwarding the RREP compares the bandwidth field in the RREP and its own link capacity and maintains the minimum of 2 in the b/w field of RREP before forwarding the RREP.18QoS Routing in Ad-Hoc Networks 26.11.2004

Bandwidth Routing ProtocolOnly bandwidth is considered as QoS parameter. Goal is to find shortest path satisfying the bandwidth requirement. Consists of

End-to-end path bandwidth calculation algorithm to inform source node of available bandwidth to any destination. Bandwidth reservation to reserve sufficient number of slots for the QoS flow. A standby routing algorithm to reestablish the QoS flow in case of path breaks.

Provides efficient bandwidth allocation scheme for CDMAover-TDMA-based ad hoc wireless networks.20QoS Routing in Ad-Hoc Networks 26.11.2004

On-Demand QoS Routing ProtocolAn admission control scheme over an on-demand QoS routing (OQR) protocol to guarantee bandwidth for real-time applications. Being on-demand in nature no periodic exchange of control information and maintaining routing tables at each node. Similar to BR protocol, network is time-slotted and bandwidth is the key QoS parameter. Consists of:

Route Discovery (QRREQ and QRREP) Bandwidth Reservation Reservation Failure (ReserveFail and NoRoute) Route Maintenance (RouteBroken)QoS Routing in Ad-Hoc Networks 26.11.2004

21

On-Demand Link-State Multipath QoS RP (1)Searches for multiple paths which collectively satisfy the required QoS. Assumes MAC layer is using the CDMA-over-TDMA chanel model similar to BR and OQR protocols. Works as follows:

Source floods QRREQ. Each packet contains path history and link-state information. Destination node collects all link-state information and creates own view of network. Destination sends QRREP on all paths which combined satisfy bandwidth requirements.

22


26.11.2004

On-Demand Link-State Multipath QoS RP (2)Consists of three phases:

Phase 1 is on-demand link-state discovery Source floods a QRREQ towards destination Each packet records path history and all link-state information. Destination may receive many different QRREQ packets from source and builds own view of current network topology. Phase 2 is unipath discovery Higher end-to-end path bandwidth is acquired as compared to hop-by-hop approach. For a given unipath, maximum path bandwidth is determined by constructing a time-slot reservation tree T and a least cost timeslot reservation tree TLCF.QoS Routing in Ad-Hoc Networks 26.11.2004

On-Demand Link-State Multipath QoS RP (3)

24


26.11.2004

On-Demand Link-State Multipath QoS RP (4)TLCF is obtained from T by sorting child nodes on each level of T in ascending order from left to right by using number of reserved time slots in them. The unipath time-slot reservation algorithm performs depth-firstsearch on TLCF to get reservation pattern having maximum bandwidth.25QoS Routing in Ad-Hoc Networks 26.11.2004


Phase 3 is multipath discovery and reply Multiple unipaths considered such that sum fulfills bandwidth requirements. Destination applies the unipath discovery operation to each path to determine maximum achievable path bandwidth on each path. For each accepted path destination updates network state information to reflect current bandwidth availability Along each path a QRREP is sent.

On-Demand Link-State Multipath QoS RP (7)Advantages

Bandwidth requirements can be met over multiple paths. Has better average call acceptance rate (ACAR).

Disadvantages

Overhead of maintaining and repairing paths is very high.

Asynchronous QoS Routing (1)Protocols like Br, OQR, and OLMQR assume TDMA or CDMA-over-TDMA network model. This requires time synchronization across all nodes. Time synchronization requires periodic exchange of control packets. Changes in topology resulting in partitioning/merging causes synchronization problem

Merging of two disjoint networks N1 and N2 with different clocks affects existing real-time calls during the merging process (new network will have a single clock)

30


26.11.2004

Asynchronous QoS Routing (2)Extension of DSR protocol Provides mechanism to reserve asynchronous end to end bandwidth

Avoids the time synchronization problem Covered in an earlier presentation Bandwidth Feasibility Test Bandwidth Allocation Bandwidth Reservation

Works in conjunction with RTMAC protocol

Three phases

31


26.11.2004

Asynchronous QoS Routing (3)Bandwidth Feasibility Phase

Selection of paths with needed bandwidth. Source sends RouteRequest packets to destination. Intermediate node checks bandwidth availability in link on which it received RouteRequest packet. Forwards the packet if sufficient bandwidth is available else it is dropped. Intermediate nodes append reservation table and a time offset to RouteRequest. On receiving RouteRequest packet destination runs slot allocation algorithm on a selected path by constructing QoS Frame for every link. Waits for some time and gathers RouteRequest packets to choose shortest path with necessary bandwidth.QoS Routing in Ad-Hoc Networks 26.11.2004

32

Asynchronous QoS Routing (4)Bandwidth Allocation Phase

Destination performs bandwidth allocation strategy that assigns free slots to every intermediate link in the chosen path. Information about asynchronous slots assigned at every intermediate link is included in the RouteReply. RouteReply is propagated through the selected path back to source.

Slot Allocation Strategies

Bandwidth allocation and positioning of slots which influence end-to-end delay and call acceptance rate. Early fit reservation (EFR) Minimum bandwidth-based reservation (MBR) Position-based hybrid reservation (PHR) k-hopcount hybrid routing (k-HHR)QoS Routing in Ad-Hoc Networks 26.11.2004

33

Asynchronous QoS Routing (5)Bandwidth Reservation Phase

Reservation of bandwidth at every link of the path is carried out. Reservation is effected by intermediate nodes with the information carried in the RouteReply packet, in an asynchronous fashion using RTMAC protocol. If reservation is successful RouteReply is forwarded. If designated slot is not free at the time of attempting the reservation, any of the free available slots can be reserved. If it is impossible to reserve bandwidth, RouteReply packet is dropped and control packet sent to the destination releases bandwidth reserved on path from this node to destination.

34


26.11.2004

Asynchronous QoS Routing (6)Advantages

End-to-end bandwidth reservation in asynchronous networks. Plan for delay requirements using slot allocation strategies.

Disadvantages

Setup time and reconfiguration time are high. Bandwidth efficiency not as high as in a fully synchronized TDMA system.

26.11.2004

Other Approaches (1)Ticket Based

Distributed QoS Routing protocol. Basic idea is that source issues certain number of tickets and sends these tickets in probes for finding QoS feasible path. Number of tickets indicates number of paths that can be probed in parallel. Tolerates imprecise state information during QoS route computation (more tickets -> more precise the information). Exhibits good performance when degree of imprecision is high. Probes multiple paths in parallel to find a QoS feasible path. Optimality of a path among several feasible paths is explored. A primary-backup-based fault-tolerant technique is used to reduce service disruption during path breaks.QoS Routing in Ad-Hoc Networks 26.11.2004

37

Other Approaches (2)Trigger Based

On-demand distributed QoS routing protocol for real-time applications. Every node maintains only local neighborhood information. Nodes maintain only active routes to reduce control overhead. On imminent link failure, GPS based location of destination used to reroute queries only to certain node neighbors along active route. Following messages exchange for initiating, maintaining, and terminating a real-time session: Initial Route Discovery Route/Reroute Acknowledgement Alternate route Discovery Route DeactivationQoS Routing in Ad-Hoc Networks 26.11.2004

38

Other Approaches (3)Predictive Location-Based

Based on the prediction of node locations. Overcomes to some extent problems due to presence of stale routing information. No resource reservation in path from source to destination but QoS-aware admission control performed. Network does its best to support QoS requirements. Uses an update protocol, with two types: Type 1 is a periodic update (each node is aware of complete topology refreshed periodically). Type 2 is an update indicates considerable changes Uses location and delay prediction schemes.QoS Routing in Ad-Hoc Networks 26.11.2004

QOLSRQoS extension to OLSR (Experimental RFC 3626).

Well suited to large and dense mobile networks Table driven pro-active protocol. Uses hop-by-hop routing.

Each node selects a set of neighbor nodes called multipoint relays (MPR)

Optimal routes in terms of number of hops. Only MPR forward control traffic and provide a flooding control mechanism. Only partial link state to be flooded. This is used in OLSR for route calculation.QoS Routing in Ad-Hoc Networks 26.11.2004

41

OLSR

42


26.11.2004

QOLSR (1)Maximum bandwidth and minimum delay metrics for OLSR. No additional control messages needed. Neighbor detection:

Each node MUST detect the neighbor nodes with which it has a direct and bi-directional link. Each node periodically broadcasts HELLO messages, containing the information about its neighbors and their link status. These HELLO messages are received by all one hop neighbors, but they are not relayed to further nodes.

43


26.11.2004

QOLSR (2)Neighbor QoS measurement

Each node MUST estimate the QoS conditions with its neighbors. This info is broadcast using additional fields of hello message. Allows each node to discover its neighborhood up to 2 hops and the QoS conditions Each node selects its MPR set from among its 1-hop symmetric neighbors. MPR set is selected such that it covers all symmetric strict 2-hop nodes.

Multipoint relay selection

44


26.11.2004

QOLSR (3)

MPR set consists of subset of the 1-hop neighbors which provides maximum bandwidth and minimum delay to each 2hop neighbor. MPRs of a given node are declared in the subsequent HELLOs transmitted by this node, so that the information reaches the MPRs themselves. The MPR set is re-calculated when a change in 1 hop or 2 hop neighbor sets with bi-directional link is detected ; or a change is detected in their QoS conditions.

45


26.11.2004

QOLSR (4)MPR and QOS conditions information declaration

Topology Control extension messages sent by MPRs to declare MPR selector set and QoS conditions.

Neighborhood information base consists of information about its neighbors, 2 hop neighbors, MPRs and MPR selectors. Each node also maintains a Topology information base and QoS conditions of the network.

It receives this information from the TC messages

46


26.11.2004

QOLSR (5)Routing table Calculation

Each node maintains a routing table. The routing table is built from the information in neighbor set and topology set. Uses the shortest-widest path algorithm to find a path with maximum bandwidth (a widest path) using a variant of Dijkstra routing algorithm. When there is more than one widest path, chooses the one with shortest delay. This routing table is updated when a change is detected in the neighbor set, or the topology set.
