The femtocell deployment in 3GPP/LTE sets new challenges to interference mitigation techniques and Radio Resource Management (RRM). Traditional schemes are mainly designed for classical cellular networks while the ad hoc nature of femtocells notably limits the complexity of possible algorithms. Thus, efficient RRM schemes are essential for limiting the interference impact on end-user performance....
Radio resource management (RRM) is widely regarded as a critical component in improving spectral efficiency of beyond third generation (3G) cellular air interfaces. Much of the published work in Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) RRM focuses on exploiting multi-user, multi-channel and multi-application diversity. In this paper, we propose a Quality of Service (QoS)-aware bit scheduling...
One of the major concerns of cognitive radio, is to be flexible and dynamic enough to, on one hand, minimize interferences with primary users, and on the other hand, guarantee the requested Quality of Service (QoS) level for cognitive transmissions. This paper addresses the problem of Spectrum Hole reassignment (SH reassignment) when the primary user reutilizes the frequency band. For that purpose,...
A method and system design of controlling user's traffic in broadband access segments to enhance fairness among users are proposed and demonstrated. A proposed bandwidth control system utilizes QoS-related functions of existing heterogeneous access equipments, and provides a mechanism for maintaining bandwidth assignment based on each user's profile and usage.
Mobile WiMAX's scheduling service is a key factor in Radio Resource Management (RRM) in realizing Quality of Service (QoS). The choice in scheduling algorithm for Mobile WiMAX base stations, albeit outside of the scope of the standard, critically impacts the performance and robustness of Mobile WiMAX networks. This paper provides an in-depth study of four major scheduling algorithms: Round Robin (RR),...
Research conducted at Morgan State University (MSU) has proposed a new approach for modeling and managing Quality of Service (QoS) in a cellular and ad-hoc mixed wireless network. This paper focuses on two key areas. It first introduces the “power” performance measure to model and manage the QoS requirements for wireless nodes with time critical applications as a function of the traffic level. It...
In this paper, a heuristic adaptive routing algorithm for an energy-efficient configuration management has been suggested which can reduce energy consumption while guaranteeing QoS for the emergency data in wireless body area networks (WBANs). The priority and vicinity of the nodes are taken into account for the selection of reachable parent nodes, when the nodes are disconnected due to the mobile...
The next generation of cellular networks (Long Term Evolution) uses SC-FDMA (Single Carrier Frequency Division Multiple Access) on the uplink. In SC-FDMA, the uplink resources assigned to a user are called Resource Blocks (RBs) each of which consists of a set of consecutive subcarriers spanning all symbols available for data. Since at most one User Equipment (UE) is assigned to each RB then uplink...
Self-organization is a key factor for the future evolution of mobile networks, especially for introduction of the new radio standard LTE. Reasons are the increasing complexity, heterogeneity and management effort. Based on an overview about the current state of the art, the self-organization potential for enabling real plug and play functionality, automatic network optimization, improved end-to-end...
The primary concern of broadband wireless technologies is to provide the end-to-end Quality of Service (QoS) for integrated real-time and non real-time applications. The main focus of the IEEE 802.16d/e MAC layer is to manage the radio recourse in an efficient way. The basic functional blocks of the QoS model are addressed by the standards to support five different types of service classes. However,...
In this paper, we develop new energy-efficient, radio resource management schemes for green wireless networks. Our goal is to optimize energy consumption at the network scale while preserving the Quality of Service (QoS) perceived by users. We specifically propose two new sleep mechanisms for base station where a number of resources in system can be shut down for some traffic scenarios in one of two...
In this paper the effectiveness of the networking existing data links to provide a robust and resilient network for the first responder's application is analysed. Methodology and an algorithm that can assist the internetworking different standards are presented. A cross standard scenario is simulated and results are explained.
Network Management Systems (NMS) are used to monitor the network and along with Operations Support Systems (OSS) maintain the performance with a focus on guaranteeing sustained QoS to the applications and services. One aspect that is given less importance is the energy consumption of the network elements during the off peak periods. This paper looks at a scenario where the NMS plays an important role...
Active Queue Management (AQM) algorithm is important to manage buffers and transfer packets for wired/wireless networks. However, the unresponsive flows to the network congestion control is dangerous to the network equilibrium and Quality of Service (QoS), especially from the point of network resource allocation. In some certain scenarios, the limited network resource (buffers) can be occupied by...
All of middlewares of modern wireless sensor networks has this weakness that many of these middlewares have the ability to simultaneous support from limit amounts of quality of service parameters. Our aim is simultaneous and dynamic support from several quality of service measure in middleware layer with obtained weight coefficients. In this paper, we add a layer of Quality of service management to...
Ensuring Quality of Service (QoS) in wireless networks poses an open problem in many application domains. We propose an automatic on-line QoS monitoring and management infrastructure that can be incorporated into existing network setups. Based on model-based assessment of current and future QoS conditions, our solution will control traffic in the network through a combination of admission control,...
Cell outage management is a functionality aiming to automatically detect and mitigate outages that occur in radio networks due to unexpected failures. We envisage that future radio networks autonomously detect an outage based on measurements, from e.g., user equipment and base stations, and alter the configuration of surrounding radio base stations in order to compensate for the outage-induced coverage...
This paper presents a novel distributed framework to decide the spectrum assignment in a primary cellular radio access network. The distributed nature of the framework allows each cell to autonomously decide (by means of machine learning procedures) the best frequencies to use in order to maximize spectral efficiency, preserve quality-of-service, and generate spectrum gaps, so that secondary cognitive...
QoS control and resource management in 802.11e WLANs to support real time and multimedia services remains an open problem. All the solutions that only aim to enhance the performance of the enhanced distributed channel access (EDCA) mechanism cannot resolve the performance degradation problem once the channel becomes saturated. Hence, an efficient admission control scheme in EDCA is a key to guarantee...
We propose a programmable and scalable traffic management scheme. Programmable traffic management at high-speed routers is difficult because programmability and high-speed packet processing have involved a serious tradeoff. To attain both, the new scheme combines control programs at a control server and simple packet handling functions, such as sampling packet headers and discarding packets, at routers...
