A study of mobility and reachability in ad hoc networks using stochastic activity networks
The integration of ad-hoc networks into real environments is now becoming more and more common and supervision and control systems are no exception. The efficiency of the communication in these networks as well as various other factors, are governed by the working area, the number of nodes, mobility, transmission power, etc. In this paper, the mobility and reachability of mobile nodes appearing spontaneously in a large installation such as can be found in a water purification system are studied. These nodes form an ad-hoc network and communicate between each other in order to finally reach a fixed node which can offer them information from the rest of the system in real time or act as a gat…
Industrial video sequences for network performance evaluation
The analysis of video traffic characteristics plays a fundamental role in the evaluation of network performance or schedule design. However, the majority of these analyses are based on the study of traffic characteristics generated with different codifiers on typical general purpose films or sequences. These are generally made using asymmetric codifiers which are not usable in live real-time multimedia transmission systems. Moreover, the properties of these sequences are not necessarily equivalent to those obtained in an industrial environment. In this paper industrial monitoring video sequences are presented, describing their various characteristics, from the point of view of the source as…
