This paper will discuss about transmission of multimedia content in limited capacity network (up to 5 Mbps), especially to study about the impact of background traffic towards multimedia content delivery quality in a limited capacity network. Observation methods proposed in the study include measurement of limited capacity network, background traffic modeling, and simulating the network to observe...
In mobile communication, User Equipment (UE) always demands to be on the network and to perform different errands using applications like file transfer, video streaming and conferencing and other applications like messaging, etc. It needs higher bit rate and hence, UE in recent networks like 4G heterogeneous wireless network continuously use vertical and horizontal handover. For better Quality of...
Network bandwidth and server capacity are gradually becoming overloaded due to high demand and rapid evolution of high quality multimedia services over the Internet. Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) is among the multimedia services that demand more of network and server resources, especially with the emergence of Mobile IPTV. It is imperative for service providers to maintain good quality management...
In WiMAX architecture to avoid congestion at the base station, a mechanism namely WiMAX Fair Intelligent Congestion Control (WFICC) was proposed in [11]. WFICC ensures that the traffic is scheduled in such a way that the base station output buffer operates around a target operating point, without violating the Quality of Service (QoS) requirements of connections. However, only preliminary results...
Implications of implementing a local storage within Passive Optical Networks to enhance Video-on-Demand delivery are critically examined in this work. We conduct packet level simulations in order to study enhancements of Quality of Service attributes. Two architectures where the Passive Optical Network is equipped with and without a local storage server are simulated to study the behavior of packet...
SCIS is the State Company for Internet Services in Iraq that works as the main Internet Service Provider (ISP). After 2003 war in Iraq, there is extremely high demand for Internet service due to very long period of sanctions enforced on Iraq. However, satisfying such high demand is a challenging task; as the cost, number of subscribers and Quality of Service (QoS) are important factors that need to...
In this paper a new cross-layer connection admission control (CAC) algorithm in WiMAX networks is proposed. The CAC algorithm makes the decisions whether accept or not the new connections based on the quality of channel communications. Moreover, the proposed CAC works together with an uplink scheduling mechanism which allocates the network resources in accordance with the information about the quality...
Quality of Service supported multicast has attracted more attentions in the last few years and is regarded as an important communication mechanism for implementing real-time multimedia applications in Next Generation Internet. Considering the difficulty on exact measurement and complete expression of network parameters, an intelligent QoS multicast routing algorithm based on Mind Evolutionary Computation...
Due to increased adoption of digital consumer services, Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETs) are gaining importance in real-life business applications. MANETs are wireless networks consisting of a set of mobile nodes and enables multi-hop peer-to-peer routing without any requirement of predefined infrastructure for its deployment. There are several works in literature for improving the Quality of Service...
Quality of service (QoS) is an important issue in the deployment IEEE 802.16 networks with real-time and non-real-time traffic integration. IEEE 802.16j is an extension of IEEE 802.16 to support relay transmission. In this paper, we propose a dynamic hybrid distributed scheduling mechanism (DHSM) for IEEE 802.16j networks with non-transparent relay stations. First, we define a suitable priority for...
Multipath transmission is the important way to increase the efficiency and reliability of network transmission. Along with the development of overlay network, multi-homed host et al, multipath transmission control becomes the hot spot of network transmission technology research gradually. As the base of path choice and switching in multipath transmission, real-time evaluation of path QoS is a key...
One of the issues with the use of satellite communications (SATCOM) in tactical networks is the disconnection between the planning and management of the satellite networks and the network operations including planning and management of the deployed tactical network. This paper attempts to bridge this gap, addressing how the router interface connected to a satellite terminal can be configured to optimize...
This paper addresses specific smart grid communication requirements. It considers a last-mile network based on an IEEE 802.16 cell deployed to cover a group of customers and serve their Energy Services Interfaces. Based on the communication requirements of smart grid last-mile applications and entities, we propose a traffic priority model and setup for the WiMAX air interface. Finally, we evaluate...
Supporting real-time transmission in a cognitive radio network has been a hot research topic in recent years. However, most previous works only considered real-time packets in the network rather than a co-existence of real-time and non-realtime traffic. For the works considering non-realtime traffic, usually absolute priority is given to real-time packets that the QoS of non-realtime ones cannot be...
Mobile users are increasingly demanding multimedia content created specifically or at least tailored to cater for their needs and preferences. In this scope, context-sensitive networking embeds promising technologies for allowing the design of personalized multiparty service applications. The Context Casting (C-CAST) project designed context-sensitive network architecture to support personalized multiparty...
Due to the coexistence of different generations of mobile radio technologies, more and more mobile network operators are keen on deploying multiple radio technologies on a single cell site and carry their traffic over a common transport network. This paper studies such a collocated multiradio system: collocated LTE and HSDPA. Firstly, we investigate the potential gain by using a shared transport network...
We propose a method to control Packet-In messages in OpenFlow switches for reducing CPU and network utilization of switches and controllers. In OpenFlow network, controllers setup flow entries to switches in response to Packet-In messages from switches. When a host suddenly starts to send many packets of a flow without any negotiation in advance, like a video stream on UDP, the control traffic and...
Wireless mesh networks (WMNs) offer dependable and scalable solutions for services utilizing large bandwidth. Enhancement in the deployed number of applications based on wireless mesh networks necessitated a corresponding increased demand for higher bandwidth. This paper proposes a framework for effective management of bandwidth in WMNs making use of the concepts of cross layer design and ant colony...
This article mainly describes the Ad hoc on-demand QoS routing based on Bandwidth Prediction (AQBP). Differing from the existing QoS routing protocols, AQBP takes node future bandwidth into consideration when selects route. The future bandwidth requirement of each node is predicted by its history. The performances of throughput, transmission ratio and delay among AODV, AQOR and AQBP have been simulated...
Based on the requirement of the transmission of real-time service in wireless sensor networks, the paper studies Weighted Fair Queuing (WFQ) algorithm profoundly. Having analyzed the reason why WFQ can't ensure the quality of real-time service, it proposes P-WFQ, which is a priority-based Weighted Fair Queuing (P-WFQ) algorithm. With sliding windows, P-WFQ combines WFQ and the priority-based mechanism...
