Instructions

Reading digital theses in the closed network of the Aalto University Harald Herlin Learning Centre

In the closed network of Learning Centre you can read digital and digitized theses not available in the open network.

The Learning Centre contact details and opening hours: https://learningcentre.aalto.fi/en/harald-herlin-learning-centre/

You can read theses on the Learning Centre customer computers, which are available on all floors.

Logging on to the customer computers

  • Aalto University staff members log on to the customer computer using the Aalto username and password.
  • Other customers log on using a shared username and password.

Opening a thesis

  • On the desktop of the customer computers, you will find an icon titled:

    Aalto Thesis Database

  • Click on the icon to search for and open the thesis you are looking for from Aaltodoc database. You can find the thesis file by clicking the link on the OEV or OEVS field.

Reading the thesis

  • You can either print the thesis or read it on the customer computer screen.
  • You cannot save the thesis file on a flash drive or email it.
  • You cannot copy text or images from the file.
  • You cannot edit the file.

Printing the thesis

  • You can print the thesis for your personal study or research use.
  • Aalto University students and staff members may print black-and-white prints on the PrintingPoint devices when using the computer with personal Aalto username and password. Color printing is possible using the printer u90203-psc3, which is located near the customer service. Color printing is subject to a charge to Aalto University students and staff members.
  • Other customers can use the printer u90203-psc3. All printing is subject to a charge to non-University members.

Abstract (eng): This thesis discusses connectivity management issues in ad hoc networks.
If the link quality and node location information is available in an ad hoc network, the connectivity can be maintained or improved through adding additional network nodes at proper positions.
WIDENS is an ad hoc network in which the MAC/PHY layer provides a platform that collects and transmits this kind of information.
Based on this platform, a Deployment Tool of the WIDENS network can show the network topology and node information on some special network nodes.
The tool can also make deployment recommendations as to where to put additional network nodes, in order to increase the connectivity of the network.
To guide the development of this Deployment Tool is the main objective of this thesis.

This thesis contains a survey of literature related to this subject, and also concerns how they can be implemented in WIDENS.
A basic component based Minimum Spanning Tree connectivity algorithm, with data structures used to represent the WIDENS network and to implement the Deployment Tool, is explained thoroughly.
An optimization algorithm for Minimum Spanning Tree is given, to improve its performance especially in discrete metrics.
A bi-connecting-while-testing algorithm, with time requirement comparison to existing algorithms in different situations, is proposed to increase the degree of connectivity of the network.
Two mathematical models for connectivity management in movement are introduced briefly, which allow for discussed static connectivity algorithms to apply in a moving ad hoc network, with a simple mathematical transform.
