We describe a “crowd measurement” project, referred to as PoQeMoN, whose main objective is to identify Quality of Service (QoS) indicators in order to predict the Quality of Experience (QoE) for HTTP YouTube content on mobile networks. Results are based on experiments on an operational network. The second contribution of this paper is to show that the proposed indicator is easy to implement in order...
The self-organizing wireless Mobile Ad-hoc Networks are characterized by the routing protocols they employ and the wireless technology used by the nodes in those networks. Process of route formation in MANETs is based only on the decision of network layer; resulting in network prone to congestion and degraded performance. Constraints imposed by MAC sub-layer and PHY layer go unnoticed with conventional...
Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) are temporary networks which are formed for a specific purpose. They are infrastructureless, autonomous and entirely distributed systems where different wireless mobile nodes are capable of arbitrary movement and power switching without breaking the network connectivity since it is physically possible. In these networks, nodes must operate both as hosts and as routers...
Mobile networks in the military tactical domain, include a range of radio networks with very diverse characteristics and which may be employed differently from operation to operation. When interconnecting networks with dissimilar characteristics (e.g. capacity, range, mobility) a difficult trade-off is to fully utilize the diverse network characteristics while minimizing the cost. To support the ever...
Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) are a self organizing and adaptive wireless networks. Currently MANETs possess an advanced challenge in providing Quality of Service( QoS) support for real time application data streaming through the network. These applications are delay sensitive and get affected due to congestion in the network. Thus, performance degrades due to high data loss, frequent link breakage...
As the explosive growth of mobile data traffic, there is a general trend toward the decentralization of mobile networks. However, existing gateway (GW) relocation strategy is tailored for centralized mobile operator networks. Resources of the Evolved Packet Core (EPC) for decentralized networks will not be utilized effectively without rethinking gateway selection schemes. Furthermore, user experience...
When some wireless networks are formed only for a particular purpose, they are the Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETs). They do not depend on any access point for communication; they self-organize, and change topology dynamically. A routing protocol is necessary to help a node discover the routes to other nodes of the network and enable its communication with them. Each routing protocol tends to find...
Smart mobile devices are already used for everyday communication between people. They have become ubiquitous devices for receiving and sharing important information, but they poses limited capability of storing and processing multimedia content. Considering that mobile devices will always have these mentioned limitations, the proposed solution is to use collaborative, adaptive multimedia content delivery...
Adhoc network design goal is to provide internet access anytime characterized by lack of infrastructure and absence of base station, mobility and heterogeneity which require a dynamic efficient routing protocol. We proposed a delay energy aware routing protocol called as reactive congestion aware multipath routing protocol-RCRP aim to select the route based on energy reduction rate and packet delivery...
The mobile ecosystem is currently facing tremendous changes; in particular, the actual deployment of 4G will probably not be sufficient to totally fit the upcoming mobile data traffic explosion. This mismatch may be explained by the low marginal revenues expectable from mobile data compared to huge investments it requires. Consequently, congestion may appear soon in radio access networks, thus degrading...
Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) are currently facing challenging times. With flat revenues and intense competition from ‘Over The Top’ (OTT) providers, they are searching for new opportunities that will enable revenue growth. The impending migration towards LTE presents a number of challenges as well as opportunities, especially in the area of Policy Control. The Evolved Packet Core (EPC) architecture...
In Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANET), delays and bandwidth limitations of the wireless network system adversely affect the performance of the Voice over IP (VoIP). The calls setup time and the voice Quality of service (QoS) of VoIP calls depend on the routing protocol, the mobility model, and the number of hops between the call parties. Number of research efforts used to study the performance metrics...
In IEEE 802.11 wireless networks, periodic channel scanning is an essential procedure to discover available access points (APs) in vicinity and to achieve fast handover. However, this procedure leads to unnecessary overhead in wireless networks and also interrupts ongoing communications of stations. In this paper, we propose a smart channel scanning scheme that minimizes the communication interruptions...
Most of the Future Internet users will be wirelessly connected to IP clouds through different types of wireless networks. Thus, the number of applications and devices will be increased, and IPv6 insists to be applied. Voice over IP (VoIP) is one of the most popular Internet applications which provide real time voice communications between different parties and network systems. The Quality of Service...
There is an increasing trend of accessing multimedia and web services embedded with Presence service over the mobile, which have driven the telecom operators to look for the new and better ways to provide such services. Presence service puts a lot of load on the IMS network and it can contribute 50% or more to the total signaling load which can increase end-to-end delay. In this paper we have analyzed...
TCP, the facto standard used in today's Internet, has been found to perform poorly in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs). This is exacerbated by contention with increasing UDP-based high priority multimedia traffic and the class differentiation introduced in current QoS protocols, which results into TCP starvation and increased spurious timeouts. In this paper, we propose a cross-layer TCP enhancement...
The advancement of mobile computing is mainly limited by battery lifetime of an end device, and thus power management is always a critical design issue in various wireless networks. To conserve power consumption of mobile subscribe stations (MSSs), three types of power saving classes are defined in the IEEE 802.16e standard. However, the defined power saving mechanism is per-connection basis. When...
The presence of delay-sensitive traffic in QoS-aware MANETs (mobile ad-hoc networks) results into increased TCP spurious timeouts, thus wasting their scarce bandwidth. Furthermore, the different dynamics used by a routing protocol in discovering and maintaining routes have a significant impact on TCP and MANETs in general. In this paper, we investigate the combined effect of contention- induced spurious...
