Fiber-wireless (FiWi) access mesh networks have been proposed as flexible and cost-effective solutions for future access networks. However, for FiWi access mesh networks to provide end-to-end QoS guarantees to its customers, efficient QoS routing schemes and scheduling policies become necessary. Here we provide a model, using repeated game theory, that creates ground for scheduling policies to be...
A home Internet gateway is the node that resides between a public network and a home network for computers to share Internet connections. To insert customized queuing and scheduling codes into the embedded Linux kernel is a way to make the Linux-based home Internet gateways support Quality of Service(QoS). It is desirable that the small Linux kernel adopts an efficient queuing and scheduling algorithm...
In this paper, we address the routing and call scheduling problem in which one has to find a minimum-length schedule of selected links in a TDMA (time division multiple access) based wireless network. As we deal with multi-hop networks, these selected links represent a routing solution (paths) providing enough capacity to achieve the routers requirements of bandwidth. We present a cross-layer formulation...
Cognitive radio (CR) has the potential to substantially improve the system capacity and adaptability of wireless mesh network (WMN). In this paper we investigate the achievable performance gain of cognitive wireless mesh network (CWMN), in which all nodes are equipped with CRs, by jointly optimizing spectrum allocation, routing and time scheduling. The formulated optimization problem aims to minimize...
Providing strong QoS guarantees for wireless multi-hop networks is very challenging, due to many factors such as use of a shared communication medium, variability in wireless link quality, and so on. However, wireless mesh technology gives the opportunity to alleviate some of these problems, due to lack of mobility in the wireless infrastructure, and presence of natural centralization points in the...
Ethernet Passive Optical Networks (EPON) is a prominent solution for broadband access networks. However, little work has been done on emergency handling in EPON. In this paper, to manage emergency cases causing severe network traffic, the network state is divided into two states, i.e., the normal and the emergency states. The authors apply new priority- based Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation (DBA) algorithms...
In this paper, we propose an adaptive pacing scheme at the link layer for IEEE 802.11 based multihop wireless networks. Our objective is to improve the performance of higher layer protocols without any modifications to them. Our adaptive pacing scheme estimates the four-hop transmission delay in the network path without incurring any additional overheads, and accordingly paces the packets to reduce...
