In this paper, we propose a cross-layer dynamic CQI resource allocation (DCRA) scheme for OFDMA systems. Implemented at the base station (BS) side, DCRA algorithm chooses adaptively the mobile stations (MS) which are to send feedback to maintain their QoS constraints. Based on the channel quality indicator (CQI), feedback rate for each MS is determined exploiting the signaling of MAC layer automatic...
Much work has been done on routing in Ad-Hoc networks, but the proposed routing solutions only deal with the best effort data traffic. Connections with Quality of Service (QoS) requirements, such as voice channels with delay and bandwidth constraints, are not supported. The QoS routing has been receiving increasingly intensive attention, but searching for the shortest path with many metrics is an...
Future wireless access will involve a variety of integrated and interworking technologies. Depending on the conditions (e.g., the specific application, the quality of service requirements, the user mobility) each session will be served through the most suited access network; following some event, there will be a variation of the access technology, which is called vertical handover. Although the use...
The emerging IEEE 802.16e Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) network is one of the most promising solutions to provide ubiquitous wireless access with high data rates, high mobility, and wide coverage. In the paper we develop a novel Connection Admission Control (CAC) algorithm for IEEE 802.16e mobile BWA networks to simultaneously improve the utilization efficiency of network resources and guarantee...
Channel assignment schemes in Multi-Radio Wireless Mesh Networks (MR-WMNs) usually leave several links sharing the same channel within overlapped transmissions or interference ranges; this is especially true when only one radio is used or when the number of radios is very small compared to the number of orthogonal channels. In order to further improve MR-WMN performance, especially for mobile multimedia...
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...
It is a challenge to thwart both the passive attacks and active attacks in mobile ad hoc networks for their unique characteristics. The improvement of security often sacrifices the delivery rate or other QoS. We propose secure multipath routing scheme based on modified secret sharing as an effective mechanism to protect data confidentiality and simultaneously enhance data delivery rate in mobile ad...
Tree-based backbone establishment and maintenance in mobile ad hoc - delay tolerant networks is often operated through the use of traversing tokens. A study and framework are proposed here for various token traversal strategies on tree-based backbones. The proposed strategies execute in a distributed and purely decentralized manner, and require only 1-hop knowledge. Aiming at providing the highest...
The topology control for guaranteeing QoS requirements of nodes might not have any solution because of the limited resources of nodes, e.g., the maximum transmitting power. In this case, the mobility of nodes can compensate for the shortage of resources and then makes a topology feasible. We propose the energy efficient mobility control algorithms for the QoS topology control with the least movement...
Quality of service support for MANETs is a challenging task due to dynamic topology and limited resources. The main purpose of QoS routing is to find a feasible path that has sufficient resources to satisfy the constraints. In this paper a novel QoS routing algorithm based on ant colony optimization is proposed. The proposed algorithm uses Ant-like agents to discover and maintain paths, that satisfy...
A new algorithm is proposed to efficiently find an optimal base station configuration for indoor CDMA networks from a set of potential base station sites. It considers both forward link and reverse link signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) constraints. The proposed algorithm is a combination of a heurisitc algorithm and selective brute force search. The heurisitc algorithm estimates the minimum number...
Supporting multimedia for Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) is an important issue. This paper presents two routing algorithms in MANETs inspired by the ant colony optimization routing algorithms. The first algorithm is a Hybrid Multi-Ant (HMAnt) routing algorithm. It is a hybrid since it combines reactive path establishment with proactive path maintenance. It supports multi-path while maintaining an...
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...
Quality of service (QoS) is an important issue in delay tolerant mobile ad-hoc networks (DTMs). This work attempts to improve the QoS in DTMs by relying on spanning forests algorithms. The existing algorithms are improved by introducing the notion of trust and choosing the most robust (trustable) spanning trees among existing opportunities. The robustness/quality of the tree can be assessed based...
In this paper we introduce two novel control slot scheduling approaches for creating dynamic contention free time division multiple access (TDMA) schedules. Our approaches are ideal for exchanging control information in mobile ad hoc networks (MANET) and wireless mesh networks so that dynamic resource needs of participating nodes can be rapidly accommodated for quality of service (QoS) guarantees...
Today, we are in a world where several radio networks arise: we speak about mobile networks, wireless networks (IEEE 802.11, .15, .16, .20, .21...), networks of sensors, radio-frequency identification networks (RFID) and more generally networks of ldquoThings connected via radio interfacerdquo. In this heterogeneous environment, a user with a multi-interface terminal can have access to the networks...
