Call admission control (CAC) is one of the vital components in the management of the scarce wireless network resources in mobile broadband networks. Recently, a QoS-aware CAC algorithm with Bandwidth Reservation (BR) and Bandwidth Degradation (BD) (QACAC-BR-BD) was proposed to improve resource utilization and ensure QoS for all classes. However, the algorithm wastes network resources due to a static...
Cloud computing is used to provide memory and processing unit over the internet on pay-per-use basis. During the initial stage, the cloud computing environment faced complex problems due to multiplexing number of requests with available resources. The current state of the art is researchers have numerous solutions to resolve issues in handling CPU and RAM but, to the best of our knowledge; they have...
In this paper, we propose an OpenFlow-assisted framework for P2P (peer-to-peer) live streaming, which incorporates an OpenFlow-assisted architecture and an OpenFlow-assisted algorithm. The architecture combines the characteristics and advantages of both BitTorrent system and OpenFlow network. The algorithm can dynamically calculate the path and corresponding available bandwidth for each flow according...
Software-Defined Networking (SDN) can be applied for managing application flows dynamically by a logically centralized SDN controller and SDN switches. Because SDN switch only support a few thousand installations of a forwarding rule per second, its poor performance becomes a bottleneck for dynamic and scalable application flow management. For this reason, reducing the number of flows is needed to...
New applications where anyone can broadcast video are becoming very popular on smartphones. With the advent of high definition video, ISP providers may take the opportunity to propose new high quality broadcast services to their clients. Because of its centralized control plane, Software Defined Networking (SDN) seems an ideal way to deploy such a service in a flexible and bandwidth-efficient way...
Energy efficient routers (EERs) are promising devices to achieve green communications for ISP to save energy and cost. However, deploying this kind of routers may introduce severe accumulated packet delay, especially for high-end optical routers. In this paper, we present three contributions to solve the above issue with dynamically balancing QoS and the energy consumption, while preserve the real...
Regarding the bandwidth allocation of IEEE 802.16j two-hop relay networks, a Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation (DBA) algorithm based on the utility optimization is proposed. During the bandwidth allocation process of relay links, DBA algorithm takes the Quality-of-Service (QoS) requirements of different services into account by means of utility functions came from economic theories. Under the certain constraints,...
Software-Defined Network (SDN) allows a centralized controller to globally plan packets forwarding according to the operator's objectives. It may require more forwarding rules, and multi-path routing which is allowed in SDN to improve network utilization and throughput means more forwarding rules. However, the forwarding table in TCAM-based SDN switch is an important but limited resource. With this...
In case that a selfish terminal generates a large amount of traffic with high priority control of IEEE 802.11e, an access point (AP) and terminals in the AP cannot get transmission opportunities because of the media access control technique. In our previous work, we proposed traffic suppression method for the selfish terminal by cooperative controls between AP and terminals with considering the fairness...
Recently, Cloud based Content Delivery Network (CCDN) has emerged as efficient content delivery architecture to provide content delivery services with improved Quality of Service (QoS), scalability and resource efficiency. Replica server placement is a key design issue in CCDNs and involves deciding the placement of replica servers on geographically dispersed cloud sites that minimizes the operational...
In this paper, we propose a new routing algorithm which calculates bandwidth-delay constrained routes in the fast and efficient manner. The algorithm is designed for the software-defined backbone networks, where the control plane is separated from the data plane and logically centralized. Besides providing the required quality of service (QoS), the algorithm aims to maximize utilization of network...
Software Defined Network (SDN) provides a new fine-grained interface enables the routing algorithm to have an a global view of the network throughputs, connectivity and flows at the data-path. This paper aims to provide a novel approach for dynamic routing algorithm for Software Defined Network in Wide Area Network (SDN-WAN); based on using a modified shortest-widest path algorithm with a fine-grained...
Nowadays, real time data transmission, i.e., high priority (HP), over internet is very popular. That is why, Ethernet passive optical networks (EPONs), with the properties of low cost, high speed and high efficiency with quality of service (QoS) have become promising candidates for the next generation broadband access network. To avoid data collision and provide effective bandwidth utilization a medium...
In this paper, we model and analyze the resource management problem of energy harvesting-based underlaying device-to-device (D2D) communication in uplink cellular networks (CNs). D2D transmitter can harvest energy from ambient inter- ference and reuse the spectrum of the cellular users (CUs) to com- municate with corresponding receiver. The energy of transmitters comes form the mix of the harvested...
Fiber-Wireless (FiWi) access network, which could provide an anytime-anywhere access for end users with high bandwidth capacity and long distance, is facing the challenge of resource allocation and optimization due to the complexity and diversity of traffic demands. Though network virtualization becomes a promising solution, which allows heterogeneous virtual networks coexisting on the shared substrate...
In Mobile Peer-to-Peer networks (MP2P), the network state information is difficult to measure accurately, and application requirement on quality of service (QoS) and trust is also hard to exactly express. Therefore, trust QoS routing scheme should be based on the fuzzy information. In this paper, we propose a trust QoS routing scheme based on interval matching. It applies the interval form to denote...
Today's networks are dominantly based on the Shortest Path First (SPF) routing algorithms. These algorithms assign weighting factors to links statically, such that the routing tables are recalculated only when a topology change occurs. As a result, the network traffic is often unevenly distributed, thus causing the congestion on some links even when the total traffic load is not particularly high...
Network bandwidth and server capacity are gradually becoming overloaded due to high demand and rapid evolution of high quality multimedia services over the Internet. Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) is among the multimedia services that demand more of network and server resources, especially with the emergence of Mobile IPTV. It is imperative for service providers to maintain good quality management...
Wireless sensor networks (WSN) nowadays are used in variety of applications having various quality of service (QoS) requirements. Hence they are required to provide different levels of Quality of Services based on the type of applications. As these Wireless Sensor Networks are constrained by the processing speed, memory capacity, energy more concentration is given in these area ignoring other parameters...
