Congestion control is vital in the streaming of a video sequence or clip, as network traffic varies unpredictably requiring constant adjustment of the transmission rate. Standard TCP-Friendly Rate Control (TFRC) wastes bandwidth and may react to congestion only when packet loss has already occurred. This paper presents a unicast transport protocol named RRB-SIMD for video streaming over the Internet,...
EMKC is an explicit congestion control algorithm which is designed for high bandwidth delay product (BDP) networks. Although delay-independence is an appealing characteristic, the EMKC system developed in exhibits undesirable equilibrium properties and slow fairness convergence behavior. To overcome these drawbacks, we propose a new method called AEMKC (Advanced Exponential Max-Min Kelly Control)...
The paper presents the comparative study and analysis of buffering in Goback2 network. The performance at the destination node by applying different buffering capacities at the routers is demonstrated. The results using NS2 simulator are produced. It can be concluded that the selection of appropriate type of buffering helps in controlling the congestion and the packet drops at the link node.
A learning automata (LA) is an automaton that interacts with a random environment, having as its goal the task of learning the optimal action based on its acquired experience. here, we present a ERQD algorithm for congestion avoidance in wired networks. The main aim of this algorithm is to optimize the value of the average size of the queue used for congestion avoidance and to consequently reduce...
We have already proposed the framework of autonomous decentralized control based on local-interaction as a novel control mechanism for communication networks. This framework is based on the relation between local interaction and the solution yielded by a partial differential equation. In this framework, the state of the complete system is controlled by appropriately designing the autonomous operation...
DCCP is proposed to replace UDP for its ability of congestion control while maintaining its promptness by ignoring lost packets as UDP does. The network would suffer less congestion. However, whether the applications that switch from UDP to DCCP can maintain their needed performance or not is a big question. This paper investigates this problem by evaluating DCCP based VoIP vs. a variety of TCPs using...
This paper proposes a learning approach to solve adaptive Connection Admission Control (CAC) schemes in future wireless networks. Real time connections (that require lower delay bounds than non-real-time) are subdivided into hard realtime (requiring constant bandwidth capacity) or adaptive (that have flexible bandwidth requirements). The CAC for such a mix of traffic types is a complex constraint...
Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) have been an important research topic for the last years, playing a crucial role within the fast growing sector of mobile communications. At the same time, video applications over mobile devices are becoming widely used by nowadays mobile clients, where the quality in the transmission of such contents will determine the success of these applications in the future. Therefore,...
Many studies have shown that Vegas TCP has a better throughput and stability than Reno TCP in homogeneous networks with a single TCP flavor, but performs less well in heterogeneous networks in which two TCP flavors coexist. The progressive behavior of Reno TCP and the conservative behavior of Vegas TCP cause a bias when they are used simultaneously, and thus Vegas TCP fails to obtain a fair share...
This work presents a study of a SIP-based IP telephony system in terms of Quality of Service (QoS) and admission probability. The system is designed for an enterprise with offices in different countries. A software IP PBX maintains the dial plan, and SIP proxies are used in order to implement Call Admission Control (CAC) and to allow the sharing of the gateways' lines. The system is implemented in...
In wide-area video conferencing, the rate control of video sources to relieve network congestion along the multicast data path occurs in a distributed manner. In this paper, we study the desirable properties of signaling channels that carry the `packet loss report' (ELR) from a receiver to the sources as a short control message. A signaling channel provides for loss-free and time-ordered flow of ELRs...
Stringent QoS maintenance in a wireless environment for VoIP communication is a major challenge. VoIP inherently generates constant bit rate traffic and is highly sensitive to network delay. However, unpredictable network congestion makes a VoIP session so degraded that its QoS goes below a tolerable limit. Accordingly, a suitable solution is needed to adapt varying network conditions satisfying minimum...
Although the IEEE 802.16 standard defines various QoS classes and their associated parameters, it does not define the scheduling, routing, and Call Admission Control (CAC) algorithms to be used in the network. It is left unstandardized for vendor differentiation. Currently, scalable distributed scheduling and routing algorithms are available for IEEE 802.16 mesh networks. But, the existing CAC algorithms...
There has been a dramatic increase in interactive cloud based software applications. Compared to classical real-time media applications (voice over IP (VoIP)/conferencing) and non real-time file delivery, these interactive software applications have unique characteristics: 1) they are delay sensitive yet demand in order and reliable data delivery, and 2) the traffic is usually bursty. Traditional...
Cost function is an essential part in Application Layer Multicast (ALM) routing algorithms. It is from a cost function that we can calculate links' costs and then build the data delivery tree for multicasting. Unfortunately, cost function remains an almost untouched research area in ALM routing. In this research, we propose a new multi-variable cost function considering various end-to-end QoS parameters...
In mobile ad hoc networks, routing protocol area is a challenging issue. In spite of recent research, MANETs lack load balancing capabilities, and thus, they fail to provide expected performance especially in the case of a large volume of traffic such as real time traffic. In this paper, we propose a simple but very efficient algorithm to support Quality of Service (QoS), by the use of load-distributing...
The Transport Control Protocol (TCP) has been widely used in wired and wireless Internet applications such as FTP, email and HTTP. However, performances of traditional TCP congestion algorithms degrade significantly when deployed over wireless networks. In this paper, we proposed an improved TCP congestion control algorithm for wireless networks, named TCP-FIT, and compared its performance with existing...
Multimedia real-time traffic is deemed to be dominant in future communication systems. One of the reference applications to support real-time traffic is the Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP), which can be used to transmit multimedia contents on real-time basis. At the same time, Real-time Transmission Control Protocol (RTCP) is used for receiving feedback and getting information about the network...
Last year, the official BitTorrent client switched to LEDBAT, a new congestion control algorithm targeting a lower-than Best Effort transport service. In this paper, we study this new protocol through packet-level simulations, with a special focus on a performance comparison with other lower-than Best Effort protocols such as TCP-LP and TCP-NICE: our aim is indeed to quantify and relatively weight...
The information of available bandwidth on an end-to-end path is important for various network applications, and several probing methods have been proposed to estimate it in recent years. However, previous methods are either based on fluid model or are only partially suitable for bursty real internet cross traffic; and the accuracy of their estimation degrades at different extents in multi-hop situations...
