This paper shows how to design a packet switched network, for real-time traffic, such that under full network load: (i) the end-to-end delay bound of a low-rate voice connection is minimized, (ii) the bound on the delay uncertainty or jitter is a fixed network parameter - independent of the network size and the connection rate, and (iii) the required buffer sizes (inside the network) to ensure congestion-free...
The Available Bit Rate (ABR) service has been developed to support data applications over Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM). The ABR service uses a closed-loop rate-based traffic management framework where the network divides left-over bandwidth among contending sources. The ATM Forum traffic management group also incorporated open-loop control capabilities to make the ABR service robust to temporary...
Among the widely used frame synchronization algorithms in digital communication systems are the CCITT recommendations. Although these are used as standards, they become subject to modifications as developments in communication technology continue to produce new algorithms with better performance characteristics. This paper presents a set of new design parameters which show improved performance over...
