It is expected that many heterogeneous wireless networking systems such as 3GPP Long-term Evolution (LTE) system, WiMAX/WiBro system and WLAN system will exist in the next generation wireless communication environment. Under such environment, various communication services will be introduced by integrating heterogeneous wireless networking technologies, especially at radio access networks. In order...
In computing clouds, it is desirable to avoid wasting resources as a result of under-utilization and to avoid lengthy response times as a result of over-utilization. In this paper, we propose a new approach for dynamic autonomous resource management in computing clouds. The main contribution of this work is two-fold. First, we adopt a distributed architecture where resource management is decomposed...
In this paper we propose a mechanism to enable Flexible Spectrum Usage (FSU) in Local Area (LA) indoor deployment scenario of International Mobile Telecommunications-Advanced (IMT-A) with several operators in the given geographical area. The proposed scheme is referred to as policy assisted light Cognitive Radio (CR) enabled FSU, because it follows the CR cycle and considers policy as an important...
In this paper we propose a scalable admission control scheme for the QoS sensitivity traffic in core-stateless networks. In our scheme, the ingress routers perform admissibility test in a fully distributed and parallel fashion for requests by dint of our bandwidth dividing based virtual link mechanism. Then, we introduce a novel two phase token passing mechanism to adaptively optimize the proportion...
In this paper, we argue that the reliability of large-scale storage systems can be significantly improved by using better reliability metrics and more efficient policies for recovering from hardware failures. Specifically, we make three main contributions. First, we introduce NDS (Normalcy Deviation Score), a new metric for dynamically quantifying the reliability status of a storage system. Second,...
We focus on an opportunistic communication system consisting of multiple independent channels with time-varying states. With limited sensing, a user can only sense and access a subset of channels and accrue rewards determined by the state of the sensed channels. We formulate the problem of optimal sequential channel probing as a restless multi-armed bandit process, for which a powerful index policy-Whittle's...
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...
His paper proposes a novel idea of using fuzzy logic for architectural and resource management aspects of the bandwidth broker. The scalability problem of bandwidth broker, being a centralised resource manager in a domain, can be solved by employing a distributed architecture. The decisions regarding the distributed architecture, namely, number and location of distributed entities can be best solved...
In this paper, a novel dynamic bandwidth provisioning scheme for traffic engineered tunnels is proposed. The mechanism uses information from the traffic trend to make resizing decisions and is designed to lower signaling and computational overhead while meeting QoS constraints. The traffic trend is observed using a slope estimator and a memory moderator unit. The slope estimator periodically analyzes...
