In real-time multicast, delay and inter-destination delay variation of group members are bounded above by a value. The problem is known as Delay and Delay Variation Bounded Multicast Tree (DVBMT), which is proven to be NP-complete. In this paper, we propose a directional approach (DCS) for core selection and tree generation satisfying delay and inter-destination delay variation constraints. After...
QoS (Quality of Service) is a very intricate and widespread system which belongs to the area of priority congestions management. It is implemented by using different queuing mechanisms, which take care of arranging traffic into waiting queues. Time-sensitive traffic should have maximum possible priority provided. However, if an appropriate queuing mechanism (FIFO, CQ, WFQ, etc.) is not used, the priority...
For the reliable control of Micro Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (MUAV) using IP based networks it is of high importance to assure certain quality of service warranties for the transmission of control information. The mobile WiMAX standard IEEE 802.16e defines five QoS Classes which represent different requirements concerning data rate and delay. The scheduling scheme which is used to fulfill these requirements...
This paper proposes a s.c. 2 ms range extension scheme for High Speed Uplink Packet Access (HSUPA) networks to avoid potential coverage problems and usage of multiple TTI lengths. With range extension UEs in poor radio conditions are configured to send bundles of 2 ms TTI transmissions without HARQ feedback to improve their coverage. This paper analyzes the performance of range extension in comparison...
In the present heterogeneous wired networks, reliability priority consideration is important. Quality of Service (QoS) varies according to congestion in the network and it can be avoided by different TCP Agents using congestion control algorithms. Previously, researches had only analyzed TCP agents, we extend their work to practical simulation for the multisource scenario to compare performance evaluation...
Overlay multicast is an effective approach to the problem of streaming distribution. Other approaches proposed for streaming, i.e., unicast transmission and IP multicast have several drawbacks. The former method is not scalable with the growing number of users. The latter method - IP multicast - requires strong cooperation with ISPs (Internet Service Providers) what is not always realizable due to...
Multipath Transport Protocols like Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) and Multipath TCP (MPTCP) support concurrent usage of multiple paths between the end users. In this paper we investigate the flow division at the source among multiple paths as an optimization problem. We also introduce link-by-link error recovery scheme and compare the system performance when the traditional end-to-end...
3GPP has specified that terminals can be configured to use either 2 or 10 ms transmission time interval in high speed uplink packet access systems. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the benefit of exploiting a mixture of both of the transmissions time intervals within a cell instead of only one. The study is quantified by means of studying the achievable coverage of voice over IP and possible...
Through sensing and utilizing available network resources, cognitive network can obviously increase network performance. In this paper, a distributed on-demand routing protocol with traffic awareness (TACR) is proposed for cognitive wireless network. This routing protocol establishes the path based on the cognition and reasoning of traffic loads in a network and it also meet quality of service (QoS)...
This paper describes how Quality of Service (QoS) support can be introduced to Overlay Multicast in a Chord Peer-to-Peer network. We support the concept of QoS classes (to support various hop-by-hop QoS parameters such as bandwidth requirements) as well as node to root Round Trip Time (RTT) constraints. Our evaluations show that we can guarantee QoS without changing the basic properties of Chord significantly.
In this paper we present a novel congestion control scheme based on fuzzy logic systems for a wireless sensor network (WSN). In sensor networks existence of malicious nodes is undeniable. These nodes aggravate congestion problem by diffusing useless packets. In our approach using in-network fuzzy based processing, each node monitors the behavior of its neighbor nodes estimating their related trust...
In this paper, a novel data burst assembly algorithm which based on control channel availability and traffic type is presented. In this mechanism, a burst is created only if its control packet can be transmitted and can be packed as different length according to traffic type to adapt the network requirement best dynamically. The variable Lstep which defined as the variation of the size threshold,...
The limitation on the battery lifetime has been a critical issue for the advancement of mobile computing. Different types of power-saving techniques have been proposed in various fields. In order to provide feasible energy-conserving mechanisms for the mobile subscriber stations (MSSs), three power-saving types have been proposed for the IEEE 802.16e broadband wireless networks. However, these power-saving...
This paper describes a benchmarking workload model for business process execution language (BPEL) engines for Web services. The proposed model is based on simulation of real world traffic conditions by defining a set of requirements which best characterize the end-users. The performance characteristics are evaluated on top of collected measurements such as success/fail rate, response times or round-trip...
Most network operators have considered reducing Label Switched Routers (LSR) label spaces (i.e. the number of labels that can be used) as a means of simplifying management of underlaying Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) and, hence, reducing operational expenditure (OPEX). This letter discusses the problem of reducing the label spaces in Multiprotocol Label Switched (MPLS) networks using label merging...
In this paper we experimentally study the impact of one EDCA parameter, namely AIFSN on a mixed voice/data wireless transmission. In particular we investigate how the tuning of this parameter affects both the voice transmission quality and background data throughput. We predict end-to-end voice transmission quality from time varying transmission impairments using the latest Appendix to the ITU-T E-model...
This work investigates the effects of packet loss on perceived audio quality using an acceptability test, seeking to identify the maximum amount of packet loss that can be tolerated before the quality becomes unacceptable. An acceptability test is faster and easier for the subjects than traditional tests such as ITU-R BS.1116 or MUSHRA. It is seen that the acceptability decreases quickly as the packet...
We developed a quality of service (QoS) management system to support service level management (SLM) for global enterprise services. The QoS management system is integrated with one of our enterprise services in a preproduction system, an identical system as the production system but in a test environment. Lab experiments showed that our integrated solution helps global enterprise services to better...
In this paper we discuss the use cases for monitoring of Web services for compliance with policies and service level agreements. In particular, the quality of service associated with Web service interactions and its monitoring rely on the proper use by both parties of related Web service protocols. This monitoring is best served by an event-centric model and an extensible scripting language, such...
A principal factor in sensor network design is energy efficiency. In this work, we propose to extend the lifetime of sensor networks using appropriate choice of sensor node distribution. The key idea of our scheme is to deploy more nodes in areas of extensive energy usage. Using this scheme of sensor node distribution, we use probabilistic angular routing to route data packets from the sensor nodes...
