It's been three weeks since my last entry. I spent these three weeks in running the LAP simulations for many different scenarios and putting them together in a journal paper (the page count is passed 18 in single spaced format).
I ran experiments in a centralized manner for the following cases:
- Testing the Simplex and Spring algorithm for Node positioning.
- Testing Simplex, Spring, and my new algorithm SpringEq for landmark positioning.
- Comparing SLAP and CLAP with SpringEq used for landmark positioning and Spring for node positioning.
- Creating Hilbert curve through the coordinates found in the CLAP experiments.
I tested node and landmark positioning algorithms for random networks for many different network configurations and initial conditions. SLAP/CLAP simulation was carried out for both random network and synthetic network created from Planetlab data. Random network is used to evaluate the performance against varying network size and the synthetic network is used to evaluate performance against varying congestion levels in the network.
The report mainly focuses on the LAP and outline the RAN design as an augmenting architecture for LAP. I have to complete the RAN simulation to produce some results for the routing performance.
