End-to-end QoS is a challenge for future Internet. A per flow resource reservation can be carried out among heterogeneous domains on the communication path using signaling protocols. When one or both communicating terminals are mobile there is additional complexity. Signaling delays and resource lacking on future paths can dramatically impact user experience. In this paper, a rational future path...
Supporting QoS for safety-critical applications for intelligent transportation systems accentuates the analytical modeling of delays in vehicular networks. Such analysis is, however, challenging due to the dynamics of such a network. We make progress by deriving lower- and upper-bounds for information dissemination delays in multi-hop vehicular networks using two different routing schemes. In particular,...
We propose two scheduling and resource allocation schemes that deal with Quality of Service (QoS) requirements in Uplink Long Term Evolution (LTE) systems. QoS for a multiclass system has been seldom taken into account in previous resource allocation algorithms for LTE uplink. In one of the new algorithms, we investigate the possibility of assigning more than one resource block and its consequences...
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...
Multimedia applications have been the key driving force in converging fixed, mobile and IP networks. A major hurdle in the realisation of this convergence is obtaining Quality of Service from a heterogeneous, best-effort service network. Interactive voice requires strict bounds on delay, jitter and packet losses, video adds significant bandwidth requirements to the network, while Internet only makes...
QoS guarantee in mobile ad hoc network is a challenging problem and has received much attention. Although the access policy with reservation of TDMA can support some QoS services, the extra delay introduced by its time multiplexed communication make it can not be adapted to large scale network. To solve the problem, we propose a heuristic optimal delay routing algorithm which chooses delay as the...
Due to their dynamic topologies, providing quality of service (QoS) in wireless ad hoc networks introduces major new challenges to the research community. Now, the commercially available ad-hoc network products are those based on the IEEE802.11 Distributed Coordination Function (DCF). Cooperative communications fully leverages the broadcast nature of the wireless channel and spatial diversity, thereby...
Mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is a multi-hop temporary autonomous system of mobile nodes with wireless transmitters and receivers without the aid of pre-established network infrastructure. With the development of network and demand of users, QoS has become one of the focus issues. A new routing protocol is proposed in this paper, which can provide QoS guarantee. In the route discovery phase, it finds...
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...
A mobile ad-hoc network (MANET) is a wireless network in which nodes, in the absence of fixed access points, communicate via single or multi-hop paths. Each node in a MANET should thus be able to perform necessary routing functions, and a MANET routing protocol should be able to adapt fast and effectively to sudden changes in network layout. Providing trustworthy quality of service guarantees in a...
Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) are a rapidly growing field today. Unlike conventional wireless networks, MANETs have no physical backbone infrastructure and no administrative support. Generally, these networks are characterized by scarce resources (e.g. bandwidth, power, etc.), high error rates, and a dynamic topology. In MANETs, the quality of service (QoS) aspect, in general, and QoS routing, in...
