The advent of the Internet of Things (IoT) has led to a major change in the way we interact with increasingly ubiquitous connected devices such as smart objects and cyber-physical systems. It has also led to an exponential increase in the number of such Internet-connected devices over the last few years. Conducting extensive functional and performance testing is critical to assess the robustness and...
In this paper we propose a mechanism entitled Delay-Aware Packet Prioritisation (DAPP) that works at WiFi packet queue level. DAPP enqueues packets according to their time spent in the network, such that more delayed packets are enqueued towards the head of the queue. We study the effects of such an approach in wireless multi-hop scenarios where VoIP packets with various delay impairments reach a...
The growing popularity of outsourced enterprise VoIP services poses a significant quality assurance issue for service providers. VoIP traffic is very sensitive to network impairments and maintaining high QoS across multiple domains can be challenging. We propose to use SDN and our implementation of intermediate VoIP call quality measurement to provide an advanced VoIP monitoring service. Our solution...
The continuous growth in user demand for high-quality rich media services puts pressure on Wireless Mesh Network (WMN) resources. Solutions such as those which increase the capacity of the mesh network by equipping mesh routers with additional wireless interfaces provide better Quality of Service (QoS) for video deliveries, but result in higher overall energy consumption for the network. This paper...
Wireless mesh networks (WMNs) are becoming increasingly popular mostly due to their deployment flexibility. The main drawback of these networks is their lack of guaranteeing high Quality of Service (QoS) levels to their clients. The latest ubiquitous mobile and wireless support and significant growth in smartphone features have fueled user demand for rich media services on their devices. Unfortunately,...
IPTV is a method of delivering TV content to endusers that is growing in popularity. It is a paid service, hence the implications of poor video quality may ultimately be a loss of revenue for the provider. Consequently, it is vital to provide service monitoring and reconfiguration mechanisms to ensure quality requirements set out in service level agreements are upheld. This paper describes our experience...
Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) are becoming increasingly popular mostly due to their ease of deployment. One of the main drawbacks of these networks is that they suffer with respect to Quality of Service (QoS) provisioning to their clients. Equipping wireless mesh nodes with multiple radios in order to increase the available network bandwidth has become a common practice nowadays due to the low cost...
Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) are becoming increasingly popular and user demand for high-quality rich media services is continuously growing. Despite the fact that WMNs offer significant flexibility, they suffer in respect to Quality of Service (QoS) provisioning. This paper proposes a novel mechanism for providing enhanced QoS support to video services in multi-hop WMNs. The mechanism makes use of...
One difficulty facing Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) service providers is the issue of monitoring and managing their service delivery network. An in-depth monitoring regime is required, which performs measurements within different networking devices. When network conditions deteriorate to the point where they could disrupt IPTV services, Network Operators (NOs) can use the measurements as a basis...
A wireless mesh network is characterized by dynamicity. It needs to be monitored permanently to make sure its properties remain within certain limits in order to provide Quality-of-Service to the end users or to identify possible faults. To establish in every moment what is the appropriate reporting interval of the measured information and the way it is disseminated are important tasks. It has to...
Next generation telematic services are expected to play a key role in future automotive applications. In order to achieve strong integration between the services and the underlying network infrastructure there is a need for both simulation and emulation of the entire system. This paper presents a combined simulation and emulation approach for telematic services prototyping in an emulated wireless...
Supporting ordinary home users to diagnose and resolve potential problems in their home wireless networks presents a significant opportunity to reduce support costs and increase user satisfaction. However the raw data necessary to identify even simple issues, such as a device being out of wireless range, require specific expertise to interpret. This paper introduces an approach for expert-derived...
