Video surveillance

Main components: •



Get Route

The Enhanced 802.11 DLC/MAC/PHY Services that provide reliable communication mechanisms to support synchronized transmission and QoS. It cooperates w ith the other components through the optimized cross layer interface. The Optim ized Link State Routing (OLSR) protocol is the basic routing component; this choice resulted from the analysis of mobility patterns, nodes density and traffic loads.

• •

Cluster heads m anage the radio resource w ithin their clusters and are elected by a clustering algorithm selecting the nodes that have the maximum number of neighbors.



The timing and frequency synchronization is achieved w ith specially designed synchronization sequences periodically broadcasted by the cluster-head.



Enhanced link quality inform ation in support of the netw ork layer routing protocol.

Ordinary node Relay

The PHY layer provides high bit rate w ireless links using OFDM(A) modulation (802.16x proposals, 3GPP HSDPA) w ith high-order QAM constellations. The netw ork topology is organized (at the MAC layer) in 1-hop clusters.

IP/MAC Integration WIDENS IP Stack for Advanced Ad -Hoc Networks



Optim ized Link State Routing (OLSR) protocol is used.



The IP and MAC layers are closely integrated in order to provide not only optimizations to OLSR but also faster reactivity.

Interfaces with Network Layer Components



Neighborhood information is gathered directly from the MAC layer using a specific cross-layer design.



This tight interaction betw een routing and MAC is completed by a QoS fram ew ork relying on scheduling at the MAC layer.



OLSR has been modified to support QoS routing based on metrics reported by the MAC.

Request/Response Mode



Each node is an RT Linux based PC equipped w ith the Dual Channel PCMCIA card.



Each one implements the full IP/MAC/PHY stack.



Nodes run VoIP (for audio) and Chat (for data) applications to demonstrate the multi-hop w ireless communications.
