This paper focus on the use of unmanned aerial vehicle teams for performing cooperative perception using Data Distribution Service (DDS) Network. We develop a DDS framework to manage the incoming and out bounding network traffic of multiple types of data that is exchanged inside the UAV network. Experimental results both in laboratory and in actual flight are presented to help characterize the proposed...
There is a growing interest in the use of untethered underwater vehicles. These vehicles require robust and error-free underwater communication for transmission of mission-critical data. In contrast, the requirements for sensor payloads are often less stringent. Depending on the type of data, different Quality-of-Service (QoS) demands can be identified. To maximize the bandwidth utilization of underwater...
ROV operations are expensive and there is an urge to improve on their efficiency and speed. The EU project “Effective Dexterous ROV Operations in Presence of Communications Latencies (DexROV)” proposes a solution to those needs by developing a set of hardware and software tools to support the teleoperation of ROVs over a satellite link, i.e., from remote locations including off-shore sites. A core...
Residential gateways play a key role in providing internet access to home consumers. Nowadays, users in the same home with heterogeneous applications share a common gateway. As such, the gateway becomes the bandwidth bottleneck, leading to impairments and negatively affecting users' Quality of Experience (QoE). In the case of delay sensitive applications like video streaming and online gaming, this...
The increasing demand of mobile applications has brought large amount of mobile traffic. To meet users' requirements for high-quality video delivery, it is an urgent task to provide fair-quality video delivery for various users and situations. In this paper, we evaluate QoS and QoE characteristics and validate QoE unfriendliness in heterogeneous DASH contents distributions to provide QoE-fair video...
Throughput prediction is one of good solutions to improve quality of mobile applications (e.g., YouTube or Netflix) for video streaming delivery services in mobile networks. This is because such applications require monitoring the network performances to control content quality, thus guarantee quality of service (QoS) and quality of experience (QoE). In this paper, we propose a history-based TCP throughput...
In this paper we propose an SDN-based control plane for the University of Costa Rica. Our campus network faces heavy congestion problems and fails at providing adequate quality of service (QoS). Therefore, we describe a solution that leverages priority-traffic routing to ensure that important services (such as live video streaming) are not as heavily affected by congestion. To this end, we first survey...
The sector of telecommunications is undergoing a rapid change due to the diversity of technologies, competition between different operators, and the increasing request of services of video on demand (VoD). In this regard, the Next Generation Network (NGN) proves to be the tendency of several operators. Thus, each operator is forced to make his network more efficient to ensure the loyalty of his customers...
Several wireless and mobile access technologies such as LTE, 3G, 802.11, WiMaX, etc, are omnipresent in the mobile terminal environment and offer different flows (e.g. data, voice and video). This heterogeneous environment requires the integration of different technologies in order to exploit their complementary characteristics and provide the mobile terminal with the best connectivity anywhere and...
In order to meet the need for high-speed data processing, system designers have adopted Multi-Processor System-on-Chip (MPSoC) design. Network-on-chip (NoC) promises to be a viable solution as the basic communication fabric for such designs. A router is the basic component of NoC and using efficient internal blocks to design a router is expected to improve the performance of a router as a whole. One...
Ultra-reliable and low latency communications is envisioned to enable new services and applications with high reliability, availability and low latency, e.g, factory automation, Tactile Internet. Device-to-device communication is one such mean that allows devices to experience benefits in terms of shorter communication latency. Currently most device-to-device communication in frequency-division duplex...
Cloud radio access network (C-RAN) has been shown to reduce both capital and operating expenditures and provide high spectral efficiency (SE) and energy efficiency (EE). High density of remote radio heads (RRHs) deployments results in inefficient energy consumption. Moreover improvements in the battery capacity of mobile devices lag far behind the surging demand for transmit power, which makes power...
Virtual Reality has been traditionally explored in many robotics systems, with applications such as off-line programming, trajectory planning, teleoperation, education, design, natural user interfaces and rehabilitation. Implementing these features in an all-in-one monolithic solution can be complex and slow. Also, new trends in automation, notably the Internet of Things, represent promissing technological...
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...
This paper proposes a method of TCP multi-pathization for IoT network by SDN. The method distributes packets according to the congestion between paths and IP packet length. Since it is performed over SDN, no changes of existing protocols and devices are required. The authors implement the method by actual IoT devices and evaluate QoS by experiment. The results of the experiment show that the TCP throughput...
Multiclass systems with different Quality of Service (QoS) requirements are essential in nowadays Ethernet passive optical networks (EPON). In this paper, we propose a code division multiple access (CDMA) enabled dynamic power and bandwidth allocation (DPBA) algorithm for multiclass system. The novelty of the proposed algorithm is the resource allocation components: power control (PC) and bandwidth...
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...
The Ethernet VPN (EVPN) technology has emerged as a key solution for the interconnection of geo-distributed Data Centers (DCs) over provider-managed MPLS networks. Such interconnections need to satisfy service-level agreements, which can be achieved by enforcing Traffic Engineering (TE) policies. However, deploying an effective TE policy is challenging and complex. This stems from the fact that network...
Existing Web API search engines allow for only category-based browsing and keyword or tag-based searches for RESTful services without offering the capability of discovering and composing real-world RESTful services from the viewpoint of application developers. Therefore, we propose a novel approach, referred to as TAD (Transformation-Annotation-Discovery), to address the above issue. TAD firstly transforms...
The latest experiences hint that the QoS (Quality of Service) approaches adopted by IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem) technologies are still suffering from a primary containment factor due to the nondifferentiation between IPTV (Internet Protocol Television) video components. The success of IPTV services depends on how the customer perceives QoS related to the provided stream. The satisfaction of this...
