Quality of Service (QoS) based scheduling in Cognitive radio networks (CRN) is a pressing research problem. The objective of this work is to study the feasibility of using CRN for delay sensitive applications in the presence of primary users with random ON/OFF periods. The first contribution of this work is the modeling of a cognitive node as a Queuing system and characterization of the average delay...
PIM-SM (Protocol Independent Multicast - Sparse Mode) is a multicast routing protocol that uses one central node (which we refer to with the Rendezvous Point ??RP??) for all transmitters in a multicast group. It builds source-specific trees to the transmitters whose data rates exceed a predefined threshold. Investigations have been done to improve and provide an efficient mechanism for switching between...
This paper presents a comprehensive analytical approach to maintain queuing delay in a router at a required level through closed-loop feedback control under aggregated traffic flows from various traffic classes. The approach is able to bound average queuing delay but still achieve a high system utilization by regulating traffic arrival rate implicitly through a movable queuing threshold. The queuing...
In this paper, we consider the important aspect of quality of service (QoS) in wireless mesh networks, focusing on packet delays and packet drops. We observe that the options of solely focusing on throughput, and of only depending on the QoS type characterization by the application level protocol is not sufficient. We propose the use of multiple queues to hold the packets based on their QoS requirement...
In this paper, an energy efficient adaptive modulation scheme is proposed for a wireless cognitive radio ad hoc network, where each node is equipped with cognitive radio and the network is an OFDMA system operating on time slots. In each slot, the users with new traffic demand will sense the spectrum and locate the available subcarrier set. Then they choose subcarriers with favorable channel condition...
In this paper, we provide a saturation throughput analysis of the IEEE 802.11 protocol at the data link layer by including the impact of both transmission channel and capture effects in Rayleigh fading environment. Impacts of both non-ideal channel and capture effects, specially in an environment of high interference, become important in terms of the actual observed throughput. As far as the 4-way...
In this paper, we study bandwidth management of a wireless/optical based access/metro network in support of voice and data services. For voice services, we use a finite state Markov Chain to estimate the blocking probability of voice circuits over an Adaptive modulation and coding wireless channel, as a function of the channel parameters. For data services, we evaluate a rate matching and a buffer...
