In this paper we study quality-of-service (QoS) provisioning in an ad hoc cognitive radio network with spectrum underlay. Both streaming traffic and non-real-time (nrt) data traffic are considered. An admission control scheme is first proposed based on relatively static information such as path loss and average interference levels in order to guarantee the average throughput of each connection. Outage...
In this paper, we consider the joint problem of congestion control and scheduling with multi-class Quality of Service (QoS) requirements. Generally, the joint problem is formulated as a Network Utility Maximization (NUM) problem and can be decomposed into a congestion control problem and a scheduling problem. Usually, the congestion control problem can be solved in a distributed manner by tracking...
The available bandwidth information is important to the admission control, channel scheduling and other schemes; moreover, it is an important parameter to evaluate the quality of service in Mobile Ad Hoc network. With analysis of the difference between bandwidth estimation scheme in wired network and wireless network, the available bandwidth in Mobile Ad Hoc network is defined. The factors which infect...
This paper studies the problem of congestion control and scheduling in ad hoc wireless networks that have to support a mixture of best-effort and real-time traffic. Optimization and stochastic network theory have been successful in designing architectures for fair resource allocation to meet long-term throughput demands. However, to the best of our knowledge, strict packet delay deadlines were not...
Topology control and energy saving is one of the most important challenges in wireless ad hoc sensor networks. There are two approaches for conserve energy in topology control algorithms. First by adjusting a node??s transmission power and second manipulating a node??s state. In this paper, multi-state k-fault tolerant topology control algorithm is presented using clustering technique to manage k...
Call admission control (CAC) plays a critical role in the performance of the IEEE 802.16 mesh networks. The IEEE 802.16 standard does not specify any CAC mechanisms. In this paper, based on bandwidth estimation, we propose a call admission control scheme in IEEE 802.16 centralized scheduling mesh mode. The proposed scheme does the admission control function by using the characteristic defined in the...
It is well-known that TCP has difficulty in achieving desirable levels of performance in multi-hop ad hoc networks. TCP implements a loss-based congestion control mechanism for adjusting traffic in the networks. However, when TCP reacts to a loss event in a multi-hop ad hoc network, contentions raised in the IEEE 802.11 MAC layer among nodes usually becomes excessive. This problem eventually induces...
Wireless mesh networks (WMNs) is a promising key technology for next generation wireless backhauling that have recently attracted both the academic and industrial interest. Such networks are expected to have high throughput demands and support various types of applications with different quality-of-service (QoS) constraints. Opportunistic scheduling has been proven highly beneficial in such networks...
