QoS routing protocol has become a hot research spot. However, it is difficult to offer guaranteed QoS, such as bandwidth, delay and delay jitter. To solve this problem, we proposed a Delay-Minimized Routing protocol based on Bandwidth Estimation (DMR-BE) that incorporates an admission control scheme and a route decision scheme to meet the QoS requirement of bandwidth and real-time applications. Bandwidth...
The increasing use of wireless networks and the constant minituarization of electrical devices has empowered the development of body area networks (BAN). The BAN for medical applications cover continuous waveform sampling of biomedical signals, monitoring of vital signal information. In order to fulfill the diverse medical applications, these networks have to follow stringent technical requirements...
In this paper, we analyze the performance gain achieved when a channel-aware deferring (CaD) strategy is applied to defer the allocation of users with transitory bad channel state in a mobile OFDMA system. Users with good channel conditions receive more resources and the radio resource utilization improves. To reduce the impact of the CaD strategy on the quality of service (QoS) provisioning for the...
With the growing popularity of video communications in wireless ad hoc network, cross-layer design (CLD) provides a novel technique that can dynamically accommodate its policy to time-varying channel condition and guarantee different Quality of Service (QOS) in real-time video transmission. In this paper, to minimize the distortion of real-time video transmission, we propose a cross-layer optimized...
Deploying femtocell networks embedded in the Macrocell coverage greatly benefits communication quality in variety manners. However, the lack of schemes to effectively mitigate detractive interference, fully utilize radio resources and provide quality-of-service (QoS) guarantee (in terms of delay) creates challenges to practically facilitate the concept of femtocell. To tackle these challenges to achieve...
Cognitive radio (CR) has been considered as the most prominent technique for flexible spectrum utilization. Protecting primary users (PUs) from any harmful interference is the most important issue in CR networks. Secondary users (SUs) periodically sense the channels in order to detect the PU's appearance. Without a proper sensing schedule, however, sensing operation may degrade the quality of service...
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...
Cognitive radio networks (CRN) have been proposed to solve such problem of low utilization in wireless spectrum. In this paper, we propose a novel cross layer scheduling strategy with interference management for multiple cognitive users, which working are working at the same area with a primary user. The design objective for this scheme is to decrease the average interference to the primary user with...
Backbone wireless mesh networking concept has been developed in order to provide higher bandwidth, better QoS (less delay and jitter) and larger coverage range compared with previous network types. These factors should be balanced in an appropriate way in order to satisfy mentioned goals. In this paper an optimization framework has been proposed in order to maximize throughput according to upper bound...
Wormhole switching with fixed priority preemption has been proposed as a possible solution for real-time on-chip communication. However, none of current priority assignment policies works well in on-chip networks due to some inherent properties of the protocol. In this paper, a novel heuristic branch and bound search algorithm is introduced to explore the possible priority ordering. Differing from...
Initial entry during deployment requires tactical networks supporting voice, video, and data requirements to be established quickly given little existing telecommunication infrastructure. Wireless mesh networks using contention-based medium access control (MAC) appear to be an easy off-the-shelf solution, but their performance is lacking for support of such diverse high-bandwidth low-latency requirements...
IEEE 802.11 wireless mesh networks emerge as an alternative to provide an infrastructure for last mile access networks in remote areas. The meshed topology provides good reliability, low cost, market coverage and scalability. However due to the shared nature of wireless medium, which limits the available network bandwidth, it is necessary to implement an effective load control scheme that enable the...
Providing strong QoS guarantees for wireless multi-hop networks is very challenging, due to many factors such as use of a shared communication medium, variability in wireless link quality, and so on. However, wireless mesh technology gives the opportunity to alleviate some of these problems, due to lack of mobility in the wireless infrastructure, and presence of natural centralization points in the...
The IEEE 802.16 broadband wireless access (BWA) system offers a cost-effective solution to the last-mile wireless connection problem. To provide the necessary QoS guarantees to the multimedia traffic in BWA systems while utilizing the resources as efficiently as possible, optimal scheduling mechanisms and resource allocation strategies are needed. In this paper, we model the resource request and distribution...
