In a wireless communication network different users share a common resource. An objective of radio resource management is to assign the resources in an effective way between the users. Power control is an important component in this setting that has been extensively studied over the last two decades. In many real networks there are inherent time delays due to filtering of signals and control signaling...
This paper describes an approach to detect Quality of Service degradation due to packet congestion within wireless networks. The proposed approach can assist management systems to detect a degradation based on easy determinable packet metrics. Metrics like interface queue length, round trip times and retry ratio are evaluated regarding thresholds and detection performance. With a combination of metrics,...
Medium access control (MAC) represents a vital part of any wireless network and directly affects important quality-of-service (QoS) measures such as the end-to-end delay or data throughput. In this study, we evaluate the delay performance and robustness of a distributed adaptive MAC scheme for power-controlled wireless networks with shared communication channels. The scheme was proposed in our previous...
In this paper we propose a QoS aware algorithm for link scheduling in wireless networks. The proposed algorithm uses generalization and modification to a recently presented distributed matching algorithm which computes the matching in O(1) but does not consider QoS aspects. We make some enhancement on the original algorithm to improve its delay and throughput performance. Also, by defining a new regulator...
Quality of service (QoS) guarantees grant ways for service providers to establish service differentiation among subscribers. On the other hand, service subscribers are also assured the level of service they paid for. In addition, the efficient level of service quality can be selected according to the subscribers' needs thus ensuring efficient use of available bandwidth. While network utility optimization...
Real-time applications such as multimedia applications have high requirements on bandwidth, delay, jitter etc, which requires WMN (Wireless Mesh Networks) to support QoS. QoS routing is crucial to provide QoS. This paper focuses on QoS routing with bandwidth constraint in multi-radio multi-channel WMN, and proposes a new multi-metric and a QoS routing protocol MMQR. The routing metric has two advantages...
The emerging wireless relay networks (WRNs) are expected to provide significant improvement on throughput and extension of coverage area for next-generation wireless systems. We study an optimization problem for multi-hop link scheduling with bandwidth and delay guarantees over WRNs. Our optimization problem is investigated under a general interference model with a generic objective. The objective...
In multihop wireless networks each node is equipped with multiple radio interfaces, and multiple channels are available for communication. One of the major problems in such networks is the capacity reduction due to the interference among multiple simultaneous transmissions. In order to effectively minimize interference, this paper proposes a QoS routing protocol CATR based on channel assignment and...
This paper presents a decentralised cross-layer dynamic power control (DDPC) scheme for wireless mesh networks (WMNs). A general cross-layer occupation measure (COM) based on transmission scheduling probability (TSP) and power control policy (PCP) model is proposed. Depending on the network traffic application and multiple transmission activity (MTA), each user adjusts its power dynamically so as...
The traffic in the high-speed wireless multimedia network will be a mixture of voice, video and data messages having a large variety of characteristic and inherent requirement. The present work is a medium access control protocol for time division-code division multiple access system to distribute the available bandwidth among the mixture of different traffic classes depending upon their quality of...
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...
In this paper, we propose a novel cross layer opportunistic scheduling strategy with interference control for multiple cognitive users working at the same area with a primary user. The proposed scheduler incorporates multidimensional factors into the scheduling rule, and attempts to satisfy multiple QoS requirements and achieve fairness among multiclass cognitive users, while at the same time using...
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...
With an increased focus on national security and public safety communications, the US Congress revisited its plan to reclaim television broadcaster frequencies to be reallocated and auctioned by the FCC and it specifically allocated a portion of that spectrum for use by public safety. The FCC was charged with the duty of auctioning this spectrum and licensing it to create a public safety network....
IEEE P1900.4 is an emerging standard for optimized radio resource utilization where cognitive radio technologies are used for efficient spectrum utilization. In this paper, we design and implement a cognitive wireless network system based on open documents of IEEE P1900.4, and evaluate its performance using UDP streaming and HTTP download. Our experiments show interesting results that total network...
