Assessment and Event Based Analysis of Dynamic Wireless Networks

8 pagesInternational audienceThis last decade has seen an increasing interest for wireless communications. With the current use of smart-phones and tablets coupled to the rise of the Internet of Things, the number of mobile terminal nodes in networks will significantly change the way we manage them. Indeed, these wireless networks are highly dynamic, especially concerning topology and traffic matrices. The fast moves of mobile devices can for instance impact the connexity of the networks, or the importance of one of the nodes in the routing graph. Therefore distributed network control, and traffic management are of increasing complexities. Given this high dynamicity, network management will need to be as autonomous as possible regarding the service they are providing to users and their resilience. In this paper, we propose a method for monitoring and assessing the quality of a dynamic mobile network. For this purpose, we introduce the concept of System Development Index (SDI). We especially provide methods and algorithms, which are based on events collection and distributed mining to analyze the evolution of this index. We illustrated it by simulation, considering different scenarii under NS3. We evaluated the evolution of the SDI, and analyzed its possible underlying reasons for one scenario and analyze error estimation for various network properties
