Real time multimedia applications become an important part of Internet traffic and require a guaranteed quality of services. Call Admission Control (CAC) is a key element in the provision of guaranteed (QoS) in wireless networks. An adaptive algorithm is proposed in this paper. The QoS measures studied are new call blocking probability and handoff call probability. We describe and we compare several...
The following topics are dealt with: next generation Internet; wireless networks; QoS; admission control; overlays and virtualisation; multipath communications; context-aware networking; network resiliance and robustness; and network and traffic measurement.
In this paper, we propose a new Call Admission Control (CAC) for 802.16 systems. The scheme is based on a dynamic adjustment of the bandwidth offered to all rtPS (Real time polling services) and nrtPS (Non real time plolling services) active connections, for each new connection establishment request in order to maximize the number of accepted connections, without affecting the quality of service offered...
The home network of the near future will be a heterogeneous broadband network supporting the use of wired as well as wireless transmission technologies. The variety of services will range from HDTV via gaming to emergency services in the telemedicine area. In this paper, we introduce a technology-independent protocol layer called Inter-MAC which provides a common infrastructure to all home networking...
In this paper, we study distributed power control in an interference network. In particular, distributed power control mechanisms are devised by exploiting a one-shot non-cooperative game based on a suitably chosen utility function. The utility is a function of quality of service (QoS) objectives defined in terms of fading-induced outage probabilities. Equilibrium analysis of the resulting power control...
Wireless networks are increasingly used to carry applications with QoS constraints. Two problems arise when dealing with traffic with QoS constraints. One is admission control, which consists of determining whether it is possible to fulfill the demands of a set of clients. The other is finding an optimal scheduling policy to meet the demands of all clients. In this paper, we propose a framework for...
The demand for QoS has made its support an essential component in today's wireless networks. The use of directional antennas in multi-hop wireless networks is known to provide substantial increase in the utilization of the wireless medium. However its effectiveness in providing QoS assured routing is unexplored. In this paper, we study the problem of bandwidth guaranteed routing in contention-based...
We consider a heterogeneous multiuser OFDMA wireless network serving both QoS-constrained high-priority users and best-effort users. We propose several efficient algorithms for subcarrier/cluster and power allocation. Our strategy is to maximize the total network utility of the best-effort user while satisfying the high-priority users. We define the best-effort user utility function in two different...
IEEE 802.11 wireless mesh networks emerge as an alternative to provide an infrastructure for last mile access networks in remote areas. The meshed topology provides good reliability, low cost, market coverage and scalability. However due to the shared nature of wireless medium, which limits the available network bandwidth, it is necessary to implement an effective load control scheme that enable the...
Admission control is a key management function in wireless networks, particularly wireless mesh networks (WMNs), in order to support multimedia applications that require quality of service (QoS) guarantees. Even using state of the art schemes to provide QoS, if the amount of traffic in the network is allowed to increase in an uncontrolled manner, network performance will deteriorate significantly...
The ideal design for VoIP should be able to maximize the number of concurrent users while each admitted user enjoys the satisfactory quality of voice communication. In a recent packet-based wireless system, the quality-of-service (QoS) provisioning for VoIP raises several challenging issues including correlated delay performance among users and the rate-reliability tradeoff in managing multiple transmission...
Fast deployment of an emergency wireless communication system is essential to provide communication services to survivors and rescue teams in the event of a disaster because the telecommunication infrastructure might be damaged. We present and discuss a hybrid system model of wireless data networks for emergency communications in disaster areas. Because wireless resources are limited, efficient resource...
As the number of wireless network providers is constantly growing, the competition among them is about to increase as well. In future environments, where many wireless providers will be present as is the case of hotspot areas, it is realistic to assume that the subscription will be session-oriented, meaning that the users may start one session in one provider and another session in a different provider...
