In real-time multicast, delay and inter-destination delay variation of group members are bounded above by a value. The problem is known as Delay and Delay Variation Bounded Multicast Tree (DVBMT), which is proven to be NP-complete. In this paper, we propose a directional approach (DCS) for core selection and tree generation satisfying delay and inter-destination delay variation constraints. After...
To cope with the rapid growth of multimedia applications that requires dynamic levels of quality of service (QoS), cross-layer (CL) design, where multiple protocol layers are jointly combined, has been considered to provide diverse QoS provisions for mobile multimedia networks. However, there is a lack of a general mathematical framework to model such CL scheme in wireless networks with different...
Video transmission over 802.11 wireless networks poses many challenges. Bandwidth demands and timing constraints are two major challenges for real time video transmission over wireless. To increase network throughput as well as overall network capacity, the use of cross layer design approach is required. One of such design approaches includes physical (PHY) and medium access control (MAC) layers considerations...
This paper addresses the modeling of specific Smart Grid (SG) communication requirements from a data networking research perspective, as a general approach to the study of different access technologies suitable for the last mile (LM). SGLM networks serve customers' Energy Services Interfaces. From functional descriptions of SG, a traffic model is developed. It is then applied to the study of an access...
The LTE specification provides Quality of Service (QoS) of multimedia services with fast connectivity, high mobility, and security. However, 3GPP specifications have not defined scheduling algorithms to support real-time and non-realtime application services, this has led to the development of a variety of scheduling algorithms in the recent years. Performance is a key factor for assessing the scheduling...
In this paper a new cross-layer connection admission control (CAC) algorithm in WiMAX networks is proposed. The CAC algorithm makes the decisions whether accept or not the new connections based on the quality of channel communications. Moreover, the proposed CAC works together with an uplink scheduling mechanism which allocates the network resources in accordance with the information about the quality...
Quality of service (QoS) is an important issue in the deployment IEEE 802.16 networks with real-time and non-real-time traffic integration. IEEE 802.16j is an extension of IEEE 802.16 to support relay transmission. In this paper, we propose a dynamic hybrid distributed scheduling mechanism (DHSM) for IEEE 802.16j networks with non-transparent relay stations. First, we define a suitable priority for...
Multipath transmission is the important way to increase the efficiency and reliability of network transmission. Along with the development of overlay network, multi-homed host et al, multipath transmission control becomes the hot spot of network transmission technology research gradually. As the base of path choice and switching in multipath transmission, real-time evaluation of path QoS is a key...
The Internet has now become such an important infrastructure that is capable of sending information within a very short time and easy to access. It is considered as public networks that provide affordable WAN services to most customers. Applications such as video conferencing, file transfer protocol and VoIP are the example of typical network applications supported by the Internet Protocol. Various...
This paper addresses specific smart grid communication requirements. It considers a last-mile network based on an IEEE 802.16 cell deployed to cover a group of customers and serve their Energy Services Interfaces. Based on the communication requirements of smart grid last-mile applications and entities, we propose a traffic priority model and setup for the WiMAX air interface. Finally, we evaluate...
Supporting real-time transmission in a cognitive radio network has been a hot research topic in recent years. However, most previous works only considered real-time packets in the network rather than a co-existence of real-time and non-realtime traffic. For the works considering non-realtime traffic, usually absolute priority is given to real-time packets that the QoS of non-realtime ones cannot be...
Based on the requirement of the transmission of real-time service in wireless sensor networks, the paper studies Weighted Fair Queuing (WFQ) algorithm profoundly. Having analyzed the reason why WFQ can't ensure the quality of real-time service, it proposes P-WFQ, which is a priority-based Weighted Fair Queuing (P-WFQ) algorithm. With sliding windows, P-WFQ combines WFQ and the priority-based mechanism...
Satisfying Quality of Service (QoS) requirements(e.g. bandwidth and delay constraints) for the different QoS based applications of WSNs raises significant challenges. Each algorithm that is used for packet routing in such applications should be able to establish tradeoffs between end to end delay parameter and energy consumption. Therefore, enabling QoS applications in sensor networks requires energy...
This paper proposes a novel edge router architecture for the 3-Level Integrated Hybrid Optical Network (3LIHON). The detailed implementations of the queue scheduling techniques, assembly algorithm, and the contention resolution mechanism are presented. We also build a network simulator to evaluate the performance of the architecture with different realistic input traffic patterns. Results show that...
Transmission of video and imaging data requires both energy and QoS aware routing in order to ensure efficient usage of the sensors and effective access to the gathered information. In large-scale networks with a large number of sensor nodes, multiple sink nodes should be deployed to increase the manageability of the network and also to reduce the energy dissipation at each node. In this paper we...
Electronic learning has produced a comfortable, sophisticated, interactive and adaptable teaching model. Moreover, the consistent technical progress in this field allows the development of increasingly interesting applications [1]. We chose to select those elements to create an e-learning environment. This paper presents a model of the multi-tiered e-learning system based on Web Services. It shows...
Five types of service flows are defined in the standard of IEEE 802.16. Each service flow has its own type of quality of service (QoS) requirement. Some scheduling algorithm is needed to satisfy the QoS requirement of each class. Traditional base station (BS) allocates bandwidth according to the request of user. However, the request may not equal to the real requirement in some situation. Thus, the...
Online videos are one of the most prevalent forms of communication over the Internet because humans are attracted to visual stimulations. Multimedia services, especially real-time services, require data to arrive on time. Unlike any other transmissions, video streaming needs to be monitored and adapted to bandwidth, when the video stream passes through the best-effort environment. A guaranteed QoS...
In this present work, we propose a scheduling approch for heterougeneous traffic over network. The proposed scheduling not only satiesfies the QoS requirements of the real time flows (class-1) but also continues providing best effort service to non real time flows (class-2). Many scheduling techniques have been proposed to respond to the temporal requirements of real-time jobs (flows). The technique...
A QoS-aware and priority-based multipath routing (QoSPMR) algorithm is proposed for WMSNs. The proposed algorithm comprehensively considers the categories and priorities of multimedia streams, the residual energy of nodes, the local link reliability between nodes, the local congestion status and the distance from the candidate next hop nodes to the sink. Simulation results show the QoSPMR algorithm...
