Project A12: Energy-Efficient Routing Mechanisms for Board-to-Board Communication on the HAEC Box
The goal of project A12 is to design, develop, and evaluate routing protocols for the HAEC Box. These protocols must comply with several requirements -- including energy-efficiency, security, and low-latency and adapt at runtime to actual network conditions. They can leverage the regularity of the physical topology of the HAEC box and the possibility to purposely activate and deactivate links between nodes.
Role within the CRC 912
Project A12 (Santini) is a new project of the CRC. It is part of the project group HAEC-Architecture (HAEC-ARCH) and constitutes a further link between the project group HAEC-Hardware (HAEC-HW) and HAEC-Software (HAEC-SW). The denition of routing protocols for the HAEC Box requires indeed to integrate results from HAEC-SW – and in particular from project B04 (Härtig) and B05 (Lehner) – with constraints provided by HAEC-HW, such as the interference models from project A02 (Fettweis/Dörpinghaus/Fischer). Project A12 (Santini)’s contribution to HAEC is further strengthened through its collaborations with all other projects within HAEC-ARCH. Together with projects A08 (Strufe/Franz/Jorswieck) and A13 (Fitzek), project A12 (Santini) will specify the requirements routing protocols for the HAEC Box must be able to comply with. Metrics to characterize the influence of individual requirement on routing decisions in a quantitative manner will also be defined in collaboration with A08 (Strufe/Franz/Jorswieck) and A13 (Fitzek). The collaboration with project A03 (Jorswieck) will allow us to explore the interplay between routing and different physical layer multi-hop communication approaches. Project A12 (Santini) will further contribute to project A04 (Nagel) by providing the specification of routing approaches for the HAEC Box and integrating them in the HAEC simulator. The energy/utility framework developed by project B04 (Härtig) will finally be adopted to describe and manage conflicting requirements on routing decisions.
