This paper describes the fixed and mobile SDN access area network architecture, suitable nodes which can reduce consumption power more than 50% and feasibility test results for multi-resource high user experience layer 4 communication with MPTCP and OpenFlowSwitch.
The traditional vertical handover schemes postulate that vertical handover of each user comes on an individual basis. This enables the users to know previously the decision already made by other users, and then the choice will be made accordingly. However, in the case of a group vertical handover, almost all the VHO decisions — which will certainly choose the best network, will be made at the same...
In this paper we evaluate an energy-aware relay selection mechanism which exploits channel state information and the availability of buffers at relays to perform flexible relaying based on a backpressure-driven optimization model. This model ensures the maximization of the cell throughput while maintains the stability of backlog queues. Performance evaluation is conducted using a System Level Simulator...
To meet the continuously increasing demands and requirements of mobile users, next generation wireless systems are more and more relaying on the coexistence of heterogeneous wireless networks. The objective is to provide any time and anywhere connectivity to users. One of the main challenges in such a heterogeneous environment is mobility management, including network selection and Vertical Handover...
This paper defines an end-to-end QoS functional model for mobile WiMAX systems and investigate several technical issues. Our main contribution is to analyze the end-to-end QoS variations in mobile WiMAX systems according to the QoS functions. We discuss the strong and weak points of QoS related functions, which can be affected by the network architecture, and propose the design examples of a service...
The handover performance in mobile network is the most important factor that can influence the Quality of Service (QoS). Today many countries in the world have migrated to more advanced mobile communication system such as the IEEE 802.16e mobile WiMax network. This mobile WiMax has been proven to be more stable and applicable for fixed, portable, nomadic and mobile network. The parameters such as...
Next generation of wireless broadband network such as WiMAX MMR networks and LTE Advanced support high quality multimedia services with high data transmission rate. Most of the current broadband operates at high frequency and thus has limited transmission range. Multi-hop relaying technology is seen as an efficient solution that could enhance coverage and improves system capacity. However, overall...
In wireless networks, careful planning and link budget analysis is required for delivering maximum throughput reliably with minimum overhead. The efficiency of planning and eventual network performance is totally dependent upon the accuracy and quality of data used for analysis. In most studies, computer simulations and analytical models are used for generating such data. However these simulations...
Over the last few years, the telecommunications industry has faced significant changes fueled by the mass market adoption of smartphones. Smartphones have created the need for more data-centric network services by accelerating the introduction of new applications and services. This evolution has helped wireless broadband service mature as a next wave of communication. In particular, due to the migration...
An adaptive rate controller (ARC) based on adaptive neural fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) is designed to autonomously adjust the data rate of a mobile heterogeneous network to adapt the changing traffic load and the user speed for multimedia call services. Through simulations, it is demonstrated that the ARC is able to maintain new call blocking probability and handoff failure probability of the mobile...
The need to respond to congestion and channel loss over not one but two wireless links is an impediment to video streaming between one mobile user device and another via an intervening IP network. The result can be poor wireless channel utilization and interruptions to the streaming process. This paper proposes that multi-connection streaming will avoid the need for application-specific cross-layer...
Mobile WiMAX is a burgeoning network technology with diverse applications, one of them being used for VANETs. The performance metrics such as Mean Throughput and Packet Loss Ratio for the operations of VANETs adopting 802.16e are computed through simulation techniques. Next we evaluated the similar performance of VANETs employing 802.11p, also known as WAVE (Wireless Access in Vehicular Environment)...
WiMAX is an appropriate wireless technology for networked vehicular applications in intelligent transportation system because of its mobility support at vehicular speeds and its inherent wide coverage. In this paper, performance of a WiMAX (IEEE 802.16e Standard) mobile vehicular network is investigated under different existing empirical propagation models, hand-off scenarios and variation of speed...
In order to provide seamless mobility the IEEE 802.21 Media Independent Handover (MIH) working group is in the process of developing a set of mechanisms to facilitate migration of mobile users between access networks that use different link-layer technologies. Users of different available wireless access networks like WLAN, UMTS, VANETs, Wi-MAX, etc., demand real-time support, high availability and...
As mobile Internet environments are becoming dominant, how to revamp P2P operations for mobile hosts is gaining more and more attention. In this paper, we carry out empirical traffic measurement of BitTorrent service in various settings (static, bus and subway) in commercial WiMAX networks. To this end, we analyze the connectivity among peers, the download throughput/stability, and the signaling overhead...
Next-generation wireless networks such as LTE and WiMax can achieve throughputs of several Mbps with TCP. These higher throughputs, however, can easily be destroyed by frequent handoffs, which occur in urban environments due to shadowing. A primary reason for the throughput drop during handoffs is the out of order arrival of packets at the receiver. As a result, in this paper, we model the precise...
In wireless networks, the definition of fair resource allocation is ambiguous because the wireless channel condition is not constant over time and location. Two main ways to define fair resource allocation are: by number of allocated service time units per user, temporal fairness, or the number of transmitted bytes per user, throughput fairness. In wireless broadband networks i.e., IEEE 802.16e Mobile...
The novel proposed method as a combination of Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) and Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) called Orthogonal Frequency Division Most Congested Access First (OFDMCAF) provides spectrum sharing, buffer management and improves the throughput. In this work the power consumed by activating each cognitive method is analyzed in addition to the throughput...
Mobile WiMAX has been introduced for next generation broadband wireless access systems, and it has been designed to provide various multimedia services through highspeed wireless Internet access. However, since IEEE 802.16e standard, international standard of mobile WiMAX, defined only hard handover as mendatory, Mobile Station (MS) cannot transmit or receive packets during handover procedure. Thus...
Handover solutions ensuring seamless connectivity and high user-perceived quality of service for a given application context are essential for multi-mode wireless devices in heterogeneous wireless network environments. A critical handover step, the network selection decision, is automatically and transparently made in the user's terminal, aiming to keep the user ??always best connected??. We propose...
