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):The Ad hoc network is set up with multiple wireless devices without any infrastructure.
Its employment is favored in many environments.
Thus, many efforts are put on ad hoc networks at both the MAC and routing layers.
Meanwhile, QoS aware issues are considered in both MAC and routing layers for ad hoc networks.

This thesis work gives a review of ad hoc networks at both the MAC and routing layers.
IEEE 802.11 is discussed and routing protocols widely used in ad hoc networks are analyzed and compared.
Solutions for QoS aware routing protocols are summarized.
Evaluations are presented by doing simulations with both the QAODV and AODV routing protocols.
During simulations with NS2, different data rates and node moving speeds are tested in order to see the performance of the QAODV compared with the AODV.
The results show that the QAODV outperforms the AODV in terms of end to end delay when traffic on the network is high at the expense of transmitting more routing packets.
When the network begins to be saturated, the route discovery and maintenance processes become more important.
Not all routes from source to the destination chosen by the AODV routing protocol are suitable for real time traffic transmissions, since there is no QoS considered in the routing protocol, whereas the QAODV which considers QoS shows extremely good results.
In addition, prohibiting packets sending from sources to the network when there is no suitable route also helps to prevent wasting the data rate on the network.
Thus, from the simulation results and analysis, it can be seen that adding QoS to routing protocols is meaningful to optimize the performance of traffic on the network especially the real time traffic.
