Most wireless communication and mobile computing systems are expected to be operational 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. However, wireless communication systems encounter failures. Performability modelling and evaluation of wireless and mobile systems have been of interest for recent research work. Especially, because of the complexity of the next generation wireless and mobile systems, modelling and performance evaluation is essential to improve the architecture according to the quality of service (QoS) requirements and performance characteristics. This paper presents a performability evaluation framework for wireless cellular networks in wireless environments using analytical modelling approaches. The availability and mobility issues are also considered in the proposed models. Well-known approximate Markov reward model solution and the exact Spectral expansion solution approaches are considered. Performability measures of proposed models, such as blocking probability and mean queue length are presented.

An Efficient fuzzy fusion-based framework for surveillance applications in wireless multimedia sensor networks Sert, Seyyit Alper; Yazıcı, Adnan; Coşar, Ahmet; Department of Computer Engineering (2014) Previous advances in Information Technologies and especially in Micro Electro-Mechanical Systems, have made the Production and deployment of tiny, battery-powered nodes communicating over wireless links possible. Networks comprised of such nodes with sensing capability are called Wireless Sensor Networks. The early deployment aim was to use these nodes only in a passive way for indoor applications. These kinds of early nodes had the ability to sense scalar data such as temperature, humidity, pressure and lo...
A novel user activity prediction model for context aware computing systems Peker, Serhat; Koçyiğit, Altan; Department of Information Systems (2011) In the last decade, with the extensive use of mobile electronic and wireless communication devices, there is a growing need for context aware applications and many pervasive computing applications have become integral parts of our daily lives. Context aware recommender systems are one of the popular ones in this area. Such systems surround the users and integrate with the environment; hence, they are aware of the users' context and use that information to deliver personalized recommendations about everyday ...
Smart Neighbor Scanning with Directional Antennas in 60 GHz Indoor Networks Olcer, Gencay Mutlu; Genc, Zulkuf; Onur, Ertan (2010-09-30) The 60 GHz technology has an immense potential to provide wireless communication at multi-gigabit rates. At 60 GHz frequency band, severe attenuation of the signals can significantly degrade communication performance. To cope with the attenuation problem, directional antennas with high directive gains can be utilized. When network nodes use directional antennas, the neighbor discovery process becomes more complicated and time consuming. To reduce the neighbor discovery time, we propose a smart neighbor scan...
An Analytical Model for Bounded WSNs with Unreliable Cluster Heads and Links Omondi, Fredrick A.; Shah, Purav; Gemikonakli, Orhan; Ever, Enver (2015-10-29) In Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), performance and availability are important in providing Quality of Service (QoS). WSNs are prone to failures that may result from software and hardware malfunctions, battery drain, tampering and link failures. In addition, sensors are resource constrained in terms of inadequate processing capacity, limited storage memory and restricted power supply. Alternating sensor operations between sleep and active modes whilst saving energy, has also introduced more challenges to th...
Modelling and analysis of vertical handover in highly mobile environments Kirsal, Yonal; Ever, Enver; Koçyiğit, Altan; Gemikonakli, Orhan; Mapp, Glenford (2015-12-01) Various types of wireless networks have been developed and deployed including 3G, WLAN, WiMAX, LTE and LTE Advanced. User connectivity and network performance can be improved using vertical handover techniques which involve switching between available networks in heterogeneous environments. In this respect, recently there has been an increased interest in the integration of cellular and WLAN systems. In this study, the integrated heterogeneous wireless systems are modelled using two-stage open queuing syste...
