Power conservation is a critical issue in wireless networks as the mobile devices are battery constrained and therefore researchers have been constantly working for saving power by following standard Type I, II and III sleep scheduling algorithms. In this paper we have proposed a new improved algorithm of Traffic Dependent Power Conservation, which proactively divides the MSSs(Mobile Subscriber Stations)...
The IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) seems to be the technology that will prevail in Next Generation Networks (NGN s), since the interworking environment and the service flexibility that this technology offers to the currently deployed wireless broadband technologies makes it appealing to users, service developers and network operators. In this paper a heterogeneous network model based on the IMS that...
The number of wireless applications, services and devices such as mobile telephone handsets, laptops and personal digital assistant (PDAs) are growing rapidly. The next generation wireless technology systems are being devised with the vision of heterogeneity where a mobile user will be connected with multiple wireless networks like GPRS/UMTS, IEEE 802.1x, WiMAX and satellite etc. To connect the above...
Next Generation Wireless Networks (NGWNs) are expected to provide high data rate and optimized quality of service to multimedia and real-time applications over the Internet Protocol (IP) networks. To achieve these goals, handover plays a very critical role in maintaining the seamless connectivity when mobile terminals move across different cells or networks. In this paper, we propose a novel scheme...
This study presents a methodology to transmit 2D echocardiogram video over WiMAX networks in real-time. Before transmission the echocardiogram has to be compressed. In order to compress the echocardiogram the 3D SPIHT algorithm was used. To guarantee the clinical quality of the compressed echocardiogram a clinical evaluation of the compressed echocardiogram was carried out. The evaluation yielded...
To meet the continuously increasing demands and requirements of mobile users, next generation wireless systems are more and more relaying on the coexistence of heterogeneous wireless networks. The objective is to provide any time and anywhere connectivity to users. One of the main challenges in such a heterogeneous environment is mobility management, including network selection and Vertical Handover...
Next Generation Wireless Networks (NGWNs) focus on convergence of different Radio Access Technologies (RATs) providing good Quality of Service (QoS) for applications such as Voice over IP traffic (VoIP) and video streaming. The voice applications over IP networks are growing rapidly due to their increasing popularity and cost. To meet the demand of providing high-quality of VoIP at anytime and from...
Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) deployment is growing at a rapid pace. Since Mobile WiMAX has the key advantage of serving large coverage areas per base station, it has become a popular emerging technology for handling mobile clients. However, serving a large number of Mobile Stations (MS) in practice requires an efficient handover scheme. Currently, mobile WiMAX has a long...
The handover performance in mobile network is the most important factor that can influence the Quality of Service (QoS). Today many countries in the world have migrated to more advanced mobile communication system such as the IEEE 802.16e mobile WiMax network. This mobile WiMax has been proven to be more stable and applicable for fixed, portable, nomadic and mobile network. The parameters such as...
The attention on WiMAX and WiFi technologies are rapidly progressing and now it is common to find them not just in laptops and personal digital assistants (PDAs), but in equipment as mobile phones, parking meters, security cameras and home entertainment equipment. A combination of WiFi and WiMAX deployment, will offer more cost-effective solution than a sole WiMAX or WiFi implementation. Its technology...
Wireless technologies such as the Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN), the Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX), and the Third-Generation (3G) mobile communications system complement each other to support a variety of services suited for the home, urban, and global environments. As roaming users expect a seamless handover (HO) experience when switching from one wireless network to...
Low handover latency and IP session continuity are envisioned to be important factors for realizing next-generation all-IP heterogeneous wireless networks. To meet these constraints of the next generation networks, Proxy Mobile IPv6 (PMIPv6) has been considered as one of the IP mobility management protocols in recent years. Much research about the performance analysis of PMIPv6 has been done. However,...
The need to respond to congestion and channel loss over not one but two wireless links is an impediment to video streaming between one mobile user device and another via an intervening IP network. The result can be poor wireless channel utilization and interruptions to the streaming process. This paper proposes that multi-connection streaming will avoid the need for application-specific cross-layer...
With the evolution of wireless systems from traditional circuit switch technology to packet based technology there is a requirement that voice be maintained to an acceptable level of quality such that user experience does not become compromised. All next generation wireless networks have been specified as packet switched radio networks which imply that the flaws of traditional packet based networks...
IEEE 802.16 supports both single-hop and multi-hop mesh modes. It defines several traffic and service categories and offers differentiated quality of service (QoS) through scheduling algorithms. In IEEE 802.16, a three-way handshaking mechanism is given to reserve the slots hop-by-hop for mesh networks, which is called Hop-by-hop Bandwidth Reservation Protocol (HBRP). However, HBRP can not assure...
In this paper, we study the collision resolution protocol of the IEEE 802.16 standard for metropolitan broadband wireless access systems. The standard specifies the use of a random access scheme based on the slotted binary exponential backoff (BEB) algorithm during the bandwidth request phase. We follow a team problem approach towards the analysis of the throughput and the delay during the bandwidth...
The next generation wireless networks will comprise interworking heterogeneous wireless access network technologies. The interworking of these networks will enable access ubiquity, hence mobility, particularly vertical handover between the networks becomes topical. Thus, coordination within this diverse environment in terms of handover management is required to improve the handover performance. Furthermore,...
In WiMAX network, service flows with different priorities are defined. The priority of real time traffic is higher than that of non real time traffic. As bandwidth is limited, the resource must be allocated in advance to guarantee the delay time of real time traffic in WiMAX network. For this, the proposed algorithm must respond quickly to the sudden shortage of resource. In this paper, we will propose...
Cross-Layer design for WiMAX Systems can realize the highest usage of network resources and manage quality of service (QoS) guarantees. We present a Cross-Layer design that involves the transport layer, the data link layer and the physical layer to optimize the WiMAX resource scheduling mechanism. At the same time, we obtain the optimum number of the maximum retransmission attempts in Hybrid Automatic...
The handover mechanism in wireless networks has been intensively investigated in the past years. The traditional solutions are to customize various protocols in different layers to provide uninterrupted communication, which is particularly important for real time traffic. In this paper, we intend to exploit silence gap, inherently existing in realtime traffic, to improve handover performance. The...
