On quality of monitoring for multi channel wireless infrastructure networks
- 1. On Quality of Monitoring for Multi-channel Wireless Infrastructure Networks ABSTRACT: Passive monitoring utilizing distributed wireless sniffers is an effective technique to monitor activities in wireless infrastructure networks for fault diagnosis, resource management and critical path analysis. In this paper, we introduce a quality of monitoring (QoM) metric defined by the expected number of active users monitored, and investigate the problem of maximizing QoM by judiciously assigning sniffers to channels based on the knowledge of user activities in a multi-channel wireless network. Two types of capture models are considered. The user-centric model assumes frame-level capturing capability of sniffers such that the activities of different users can be distinguished while the sniffer-centric model only utilizes the binary channel information (active or not) at a sniffer. For the user-centric model, we show that the implied optimization problem is NP-hard, but a constant approximation ratio can be attained via polynomial complexity algorithms. For the sniffer-centric model, we devise stochastic inference schemes to transform the problem into the user-centric domain, where we are able to apply our polynomial approximation algorithms. The effectiveness of our proposed schemes and algorithms is further evaluated using both synthetic data as well as real-world traces from an operational WLAN.

EXISTING SYSTEM: There has been much work done on wireless monitoring from a system-level approach, in an attempt to design complete systems, and address the interactions among the components of such systems. The work uses AP, SNMP logs, and wired side traces to analyze WiFi traffic characteristics. DISADVANTAGES OF EXISTING SYSTEM: Ideally, a network administrator would want to perform network monitoring on all channels simultaneously. However, multi-radio sniffers are known to be large and expensive to deploy. The basic problem underlying all of our models can be cast as finding an assignment of sniffers to channels so as to maximize the QoM. The problem of sniffer assignment, in an attempt to maximize the QoM metric, is further complicated by the dynamics of real-life systems such as: 1) the user population changes over time (churn), 2) activities of a single user is dynamic, and 3) connectivity between users and sniffers may vary due to changes in channel conditions or mobility. PROPOSED SYSTEM: In this paper, we focus on designing algorithms that aim at maximizing the QoM metric with different granularities of a priori knowledge. The usage patterns are assumed to be stationary during the decision period. We make the following contributions toward the design of passive monitoring systems for multi-channel wireless infrastructure networks. We provide a formal model for evaluating the quality of monitoring. We study two categories of monitoring models that differ in the information capturing capability of passive monitoring systems. For each of these models we provide algorithms and methods that optimize the quality of monitoring. We unravel interactions between the two monitoring models by devising two methods to convert the sniffer-centric model to the user-centric domain by exploiting the stochastic properties of underlying user processes

ADVANTAGES OF PROPOSED SYSTEM: The first approach, Quantized Linear ICA (QLICA), estimates the hidden structure by applying a quantization process on the outcome of the traditional ICA, while the second approach, Binary ICA (BICA), decomposes the observation data into OR mixtures of hidden components and recovers the underlying structure. Finally, an extensive evaluation study is carried out using both synthetic data as well as real-world traces from an operational WLAN.
