Improving the interaction experience between humans and computers is a major research challenge and one of the most promising new modes of Human Computer Interaction (HCI) is via haptic devices which provide users with the sense of touch while interacting with computer systems. Two or more users may interact with each other and exchange the sense of touch by using Distributed Haptic Virtual Environments...
We evaluate performance of hierarchical network (overlay-underlay cellular system) based on convolution method under mixed offered traffic. In most of the cases, different offered traffic of a network follows different probability density functions and they are correlated in sharing channel environment and cannot be analyzed by equivalent random theory (ERT) model. Here, three different types of offered...
In this work, we analyze the design of green routing algorithms and evaluate the achievable energy savings that such mechanisms could allow in several realistic network scenarios. We formulate the problem as a minimum energy routing optimization, which we numerically solve considering a core-network scenario, which can be seen as a worst-case for energy saving performance (as nodes cannot be switched...
Nowadays, licensed users (primary users, PUs) can provide a means for offering internet service for unlicensed users (secondary users, SUs). We explore the ability of cognitive mesh network (CMN) to offer quality of service (QoS) required by real time services, streaming multimedia and other applications. We consider the approach where PUs rent the surplus spectrum to SUs to get some reward. However,...
The mobile cellular systems are expected to support multiple services with guaranteed Quality of Service(QoS). But, the ability of wireless systems to accommodate expected growth of traffic load and broadband services is limited by available radio frequency spectrum. Call Admission Control (CAC) is one of the resource management functions, which regulates network access to ensure QoS provisioning...
Most of current cellular networks are designed for transmitting packet data and voice services. Several types of traffic such as voice, WAP, Web, FTP and E-mail with different ON/OFF distributions have to be supported by these networks. It is therefore important to know their performance in such systems. In this paper we develop a performance analytical model which takes into account the different...
Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) is an Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) specified framework that provides for the efficient designation, routing, forwarding and switching of traffic flows through the network. MPLS is a versatile solution to address the problems faced by present-day networks like speed, scalability, quality-of-service (QoS) management, and traffic engineering. MPLS carries...
One of the major challenges for next-generation mobile systems is to achieve efficient mobility management in next generation wireless networks. To track host mobility, Mobile IP setup a tunnel between the Home Agent and the Mobile Node. This paper proposes a new architecture called LinkWork Mobile MPLS which takes advantage of MPLS traffic engineering capability, to achieve fast-reroute when a mobile...
Popular wireless network standards, such as IEEE 802.11/15/16, are increasingly adopted in real-time control systems. However, they are not designed for real-time applications. Therefore, the performance of such wireless networks needs to be carefully evaluated before the systems are implemented and deployed. While efforts have been made to model general wireless networks with completely random traffic...
In this paper the Policing Traffic Management (PTM) is applied to improve the Quality of Service (QoS) over Inter-Vehicular Communications (IVCS). Bangkok is the capital city, and it is crowned of Ad Hoc nodes such as Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANET), FleetNET, CARNET, BTSNET and electronic devices. Each network has unique data traffic characteristics. For MANNET, most traffic is video and voice traffic;...
The IEEE 802.16 is a well known set of standards, which have been developed for global deployment of Metropolitan Area Networks (MANs) in order to provide broadband wireless accesses supporting the integrated transmission of multimedia applications with different Quality of Service (QoS) requirements. In order to achieve the QoS requirements of multimedia applications, the IEEE 802.16 standards offers...
WiMAX performance evaluation considering different scheduling techniques has received considerable attention by WiMAX researchers and also WiMAX operators. The standard does not define MAC scheduling although it affects the overall QoS performance of users as well as the achievable total cell goodput. The primary goal of this paper is to compare the performance of maximum total goodput including the...
The next generation wireless network is expected to be a heterogeneous. The Radio Access Technology (RAT) selection algorithm, including initial RAT selection and vertical handover, is one of the key research areas in Common Radio Resource Management (CRRM). A suitable RAT selection algorithm can maximize the system performance and Quality of Service (QoS) by allocating users to the most suitable...
In this paper, we propose a network performance monitoring method which can measure delay of each network using the RTCP(Real-time Transport Control Protocol) timestamp fields to detect a trouble section in interworking environment. According to the increment of real-time multimedia service provision, network performance monitoring method is necessarily needed for QoS management of real-time services...
With a variety of access technologies available, the demand for mobile multimedia applications has increased enormously. Supporting these multimedia applications with varied quality of service (QoS) requirements while maximizing the resource utilization is a challenging task. One important factor is the transport protocol that significantly affects the offered QoS and efficient utilization of network...
With the ever increasing demand of multimedia traffic on the Internet, the interest in deploying multicast for distribution of these contents have increased. One hurdle however in this regard is quantifying the multicast protocol performance. Many efforts have been put into defining multicast metrics for evaluating protocol performance. In this paper we define a metric which will provide a reasonable...
Adaptive Rate Control (ARC) is a successful algorithm to increase the throughput to The Digital Video Broadcasting Return Channel via Satellite (DVB-RCS) but the throughput and dropped traffic did not meet the Quality of Service (QoS) for multimedia traffic standard [ETSI EN 300 421 v.1.1.2]. This paper will present the modified ARC algorithm to overcome the QoS problem for multimedia traffic by prioritize...
In this paper, the performance of traffic based adaptive (TBA) and size based adaptive (SBA) backoff algorithms for IEEE 802.11 DCF has been evaluated. TBA backoff algorithm utilizes contention status in the channel for adjusting the backoff algorithm but SBA backoff algorithm assigns different priority levels based on packet size to traffic loads which is involved with best effort and real time traffic...
This paper investigates the performance of exponential/proportional fair (EXP/PF) and maximum-largest weighted delay first (M-LWDF) scheduling algorithms in the third generation partnership project long term evolution (3GPP LTE) providing packet-switched multimedia services. It, then, identifies a suitable packet scheduling algorithm on a basis of their performance evaluation. The performance evaluation...
Scheduling algorithms for quality of service (QoS) are of utmost importance in WiMAX network. The IEEE 802.16 standard provides a framework for the scheduling mechanisms, but details for implementation of scheduling algorithms are unspecified. In this paper, we propose an efficient and integrated uplink scheduling algorithm. Our research is based on point-to-multipoint (PMP) architecture; also a resource...
