In Internet networks, monitoring is necessary to guarantee the performance of the services. In this paper, we review the state-of-the-art monitoring architectures proposed for multi-domain networks. We note that these architectures do not support measurement configuration that enables the providers to perform flexible multi-domain measurements. Therefore, we present our proposal for the configuration...
One-way delay (OWD) is an important measurand for network management. It can indicate routing problems, network congestion, and is useful for tracking down application problems to network effects. While active measurements deliver high accuracy, measuring OWD actively on all paths of large networks results in high effort. Thus, passive measurements are attractive. Our approach for measuring OWD is...
Limited bandwidth remains a pressing issue for wireless sensor networks (WSNs) due to the half-duplex property of the sensor radio and the broadcast nature of wireless medium. Designing multi-channel MAC protocol attracts the interest of many researchers as a cost effective solution to meet the higher bandwidth demand for the limited bandwidth in WSN. In this paper, we present a scheduled-based multi-channel...
Analytical studies of Medium Access Control (MAC) layer protocols can be used to improve the performance of multi-hop Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) in the presence of hidden stations. The selected MAC layer protocol should conform to the distributed nature of the WSNs. The IEEE 802.11 MAC layer with Distributed Coordination Function (DCF) is well suited to WSNs. Analytical studies of IEEE 802.11...
In general, IPTV is defined as a multimedia delivery service and it is extended from the VoD service by unicast to live TV service by multicast. In the live TV environment, the QoE of IPTV service includes convenient user interfaces, quality of audio/video, and response time. The channel zapping time is one of the most important factors in QoE, and there have been many researches to improve it. Especially,...
The ability to support quality of service (QoS) for a wide range of applications that exhibit different service requirements is a major competency of IEEE 802.16 networks. One of the keys to QoS provision is a scheduling algorithm that is able to determine the service ordering for packets from different service classes. This however is undefined in the standard to promote innovation by equipment vendors...
Modern wireless networks, such as WiMAX or LTE are using OFDM/OFDMA as the enabling technologies for broadband transmission in cellular environments with QoS capabilities. In these networks, such schema as radio resource management, admission control, scheduling are essential. In this article we firstly introduce a Time-Frequency Burst Mapping algorithm for radio resource management that improves...
According to multimedia service distribution such as High-Definition Television (HDTV), Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) and Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP), the networks are required to guarantee Quality of Service (QoS) and real-time performance. Power Line Communication Technology is used for data transfer as well as the transfer of electric power. However, power line communication has some...
In future fourth generation wireless networks OFDM and MIMO techniques will be heavily exploited to provide connectivity to heterogeneous users offering different data traffic types. This paper proposes a low complexity resource allocation strategy for MIMO-OFDMA (Multiple-Input Multiple-Output Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access) broadcast channel to support delay-sensitive traffic with...
This paper proposes an enhanced handover scheme of the Proxy Mobile IPv6 (PMIPv6) with partial bicasting in wireless networks. In the proposed PMIPv6 handover scheme, when a mobile node (MN) moves into a new network and thus its Mobile Access Gateway (MAG) performs the binding update to the Local Mobility Anchor (LMA), the LMA begins the `partial' bicasting of data packets to the new MAG as well as...
Reliability and timeliness are two essential requirements of successful detection of critical events in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). The base station (BS) is particularly interested about reliable and timely collection of data sent by the nodes close to the ongoing event, and at that time, the data sent by other nodes have little importance. In this paper, we propose Congestion and Delay Aware...
This paper addresses the multicast handover in the wireless networks based on the Proxy Mobile IPv6 (PMIP). The existing PMIP-based multicast schemes tend to induce severe packet losses, large handover delays and unnecessary data transmissions during handover. To overcome these problems, we propose the use of Multicast Handover Agent (MHA) for fast handover. In the proposed scheme, called PMIP-MHA,...
In optical packet switching (OPS) network, packet contention is a critical factor which occurs at a switching node whenever two or more packets try to leave the switch fabric on the same output port, on the same wavelength, at the same time. Optical buffering approach based on fiber delay lines (FDLs) is the most cost-effective as well as the widely used solution for contention resolution. This paper...
A Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) is a self-configuring network of mobile devices connected by a wireless link. In MANETs, the data packet may fail to be delivered for various reasons including nodes movement, packet collision and bad channel condition. Because re-route recovery of traditional on-demand routing protocols has high latency, several ideas have been proposed to solve this problems. AODV-BR...
In this paper, we propose a QoS control mechanism that estimates the congestion of wireless channels in the wireless LAN and evaluates the voice packet drop ratio based on the estimated congestion status. The mechanism adjusts the voice packet transmission rate according to the evaluated packet loss ratio, and thereby resolves the congestion situation. In this way, the mechanism can keep users' quality...
With the advancement of Internet technologies and the widespread use of mobile devices, the number of users in conferencing services is increasing quickly. A P2PSIP conferencing system and an IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) conferencing system have been designed to provide conferencing services. The IMS conferencing system was developed to adapt to a server-based centralized system, while the P2P network,...
In recent years, in distributed cooperative systems such as distributed file systems and online games, equalization of performance between collaborative nodes is one of important issues as well as explicit performance such as bandwidth, delay and packet loss rate. Selection of the server which can offer equal performance to collaborative nodes is necessary to offer equalized performance. Therefore,...
