In order to manage Quality of Service (QoS) and energy efficiency in the optical access network, an online Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation (DBA) algorithm with adaptive sleep cycle is presented. This DBA algorithm has the ability to allocate an additional bandwidth to the end user within a single sleep cycle whose duration changes depending on the current buffers occupancy. The purpose of this DBA algorithm...
In this work we report experimental tests on the performance of FTTX accesses using the mPlane measurement plane, including lab and field environments and above all we point out the role of such measurement plane in Software Defined Network architectures. For such an aim we show an experimental procedure based on a central unit (orchestrator) that automatically manages GbE links in a regional network...
We describe a “crowd measurement” project, referred to as PoQeMoN, whose main objective is to identify Quality of Service (QoS) indicators in order to predict the Quality of Experience (QoE) for HTTP YouTube content on mobile networks. Results are based on experiments on an operational network. The second contribution of this paper is to show that the proposed indicator is easy to implement in order...
To tackle complex and massive number of jobs sent by end users, a powerful and dedicated computational resources are required. Grid computing provides such environment in which applications may run for a quite long time. Therefore, efficient scheduling policy is indispensable. In our previous work, a mechanism named Swift Gap followed by developed completion time rule is introduced. This paper deeply...
In this paper, we evaluate QoS (Quality of Service) and QoE (Quality of Experience) characteristics of 2K and 4K video distribution using MPEG-DASH (Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP). Evaluation results conclude that smaller playout buffer size contributes to QoE improvement.
Telemedicine systems are becoming prevalent in today's healthcare scenarios, especially in India where a large portion of the population resides in remote and rural regions where availability of specialty healthcare is scant. Many such telemedicine system implementations can be found in the existing literature. Since critical data are being transmitted over these networks, the reliability of these...
Quality of Service (QoS) in data networks refers to control mechanisms for reservation of network resources and traffic prioritization for specific network applications and types of data flows. Every network application can have their own demands for specific QoS parameters, such as bandwidth, delay, jitter or packet loss. Rapid grow of Internet has initiated the development of the Internet protocol...
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have gained significant attention due to their wide range of applications. In these networks, the sensor nodes collect different types of data from the surrounding environment. There are many applications that require sensor node to transmit urgent data packets faster than normal data packets. In the literature, most of the available medium access control (MAC) protocols...
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are used in many mission-critical applications, such as target tracking on a battlefield, emergency alarms, and disaster detection. In such applications, QoS provisioning in the timeliness domain is indispensable. Moreover, because of the diversity of sensory data, QoS provisioning should support not only one but multiple levels of end-to-end delay constraints. As a...
Wearable devices, such as wristbands, smart-watches, eyewear, and wearable bio-monitors have become the focus of much attention in past year. One in ten U.S. consumers over the age of 18 now owns a modern activity tracker. These ubiquitous devices are a natural platform for formation of ad hoc networks. With almost 40% of users are above the age of 45, these older adopters are focused on improving...
Long Term Evolution (LTE) and LTE-Advanced are traditionally defined for human to human (H2H) communication, they are excellent candidates as a communication technologies in the smart grid environment. The 3GPP standard recently adopted the use of LT E to support low powered sensor devices which they classify as machine type communication (MTC). In this work we evaluated the performance of widely...
According to Forbes collected data, the public cloud services market will rise in 2016 and is expected to grow to $105 billions and, in fact, Virtual Machines (VMs) are one of the most popular tools for building “Cloud” services. But in service delivery such composition of multiple components greatly complicate analysis of product quality, especially if it is about Voice over IP (VoIP) set of services,...
Qos of broadband network is important. ISPs have some methods for evaluate it. But they are not efficient enough. This paper present a new method in which delay and scale of windows of TCP messages are used for evaluating performance of broadband. Comparison between delay or scale of window s of samples is the core idea of the method. There are two kinds of comparison. One is absolute terms of above-mentioned...
The WiMAX network in the city of Baghdad is established by “The State Company for Internet Services” (SCIS). SCIS is a subsidiary of the Ministry of Communications (MoC) in Iraq. SCIS is responsible for the installation and operation of WiMAX networks and is also the prime “Wireless Internet service provider” (WISP) in Iraq. This paper presents a simulation model of a WiMAX network for the city of...
Today, triple play services may be regarded as required services in telecommunication sector. In the access network, Ethernet Passive Optical Network (EPON) is considered as one of the best solutions to provision triple-play-services. In EPON, the Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation (DBA) algorithm plays a key role to meet the Quality-of-Service (QoS) requirements. Therefore, in this paper, we conduct the...
This paper focuses on proposing approaches for the improvement of Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) service quality in Wireless Mesh Network (WMN). While WMNs have self-healing, self-forming and dynamic topology features, they still pose challenges for the implementation of multimedia applications, such as voice, in various scenarios. The research has been conducted using a network simulator and...
With the Internet of Things (IoT) becoming a major component of our daily life, understanding how to improve quality of service (QoS) in IoT networks is becoming a challenging problem. Currently most interaction between the IoT devices and the supporting back-end servers is done through large scale cloud data centers. However, with the exponential growth of IoT devices and the amount of data they...
Internet of Things (IoT) is an emerging subject which enables multiple applications and requires robust security solutions. IoT architectures contribute to critical aspects of our society like transportation, health-care, industry, telecommunications and many others. Security is difficult to be implemented in the IoT context because the embedded devices are resource constrained and deployed in uncontrolled...
Current Internet traffic is carried mainly by the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), and the performance of the Internet depends strongly on how well TCP works. Detecting and mitigating the congestion is one of the main tasks of this protocol, in fact, different TCP versions are defined by their congestion control algorithm. Also, Active Queue Management (AQM) algorithms share the same goal of congestion...
The core concept of Smart Grid (SG) is to enhance the level of intelligent management for power grid by the application of modern information, communication and other advanced technologies. With wide coverage, high reliability and large capacity, the Long-Term-Evolution (LTE) network is widely used in the SG wireless communication. However, SG is different from traditional cellular networks. Many...
