This paper introduces admission control policies for the IEEE 802.16 standard which aim to reach three main goals: restrict the number of simultaneous connections in the system so that the resources available to the scheduler are sufficient to guarantee the QoS requirements of each connection, support the service provider expectations by maximizing the revenue, and maximize the users satisfaction...
When the present channel used by the secondary user (SU) is detected to be busy due to the re-appearance of the primary user (PU) in cognitive radios, the SU has to search an out-band so that its transmission can be continued. In order to meet the QoS requirement, out-band sensing speed should be as fast as possible. How to reduce out-band sensing time employing cooperative spectrum sensing is proposed...
A cooperative ratio-based scheduling scheme with minimal signaling to enhance network throughput and fairness in wireless ad hoc network is presented in this paper. Throughput and fairness maximization problem in a finite horizon (short term) is formulated as a novel multi-window optimization problem. Through analysis users' thresholds are shown to be time variant to achieve throughput maximization...
Temporal violations may often take place and deteriorate the overall QoS of scientific workflows. To handle temporal violations in an automatic and cost-effective fashion, we need to resolve the following issues: 1) how to define fine-grained recoverable temporal violations, 2) which light-weight effective exception handling strategies to be facilitated. This paper proposes an effective exception...
In recent years, as the deployment of Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN) in dense-urban areas is growing rapidly, it can be a perfect supplement for providing location information of users in indoor environments where other positioning techniques such as GPS, are not much effective. However, most systems only focus on the network deployment for positioning but overlook that the original purpose of...
In this work, we analyze the design of green routing algorithms and evaluate the achievable energy savings that such mechanisms could allow in several realistic network scenarios. We formulate the problem as a minimum energy routing optimization, which we numerically solve considering a core-network scenario, which can be seen as a worst-case for energy saving performance (as nodes cannot be switched...
To address interoperability and scalability issues for cloud computing, in our previous paper, we presented a novel cloud market model called CACM that enables a dynamic collaboration (DC) platform among different Cloud providers. As the initiator of dynamic collaboration, primary Cloud provider (pCP) needs an efficient local task selection and allocation algorithm to partition the whole tasks and...
Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks(WMSNs) have the characteristics of limited resources, variable channel capacities and high data redundancy, which pose great challenges to the QoS routing of WMSNs. Addressing these issues, an Ant Colony Optimization-based Load Balancing Routing Algorithm (ACOLBR) is proposed. Firstly, the intra-cluster routing is built by the minimum spanning tree. And then the...
In this paper, we exploit the geographic opportunistic routing (GOR) for QoS provisioning with both end-to-end reliability and delay constraints in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Recent work exploits multipath routing to guarantee both reliability and delay QoS constraints in WSNs. However, the multipath routing approach suffers from a significant energy cost. We also find that existing GOR protocol...
The objective of web services selection is to maximize an application-specific utility function under the end-to-end QoS constraints. Existing methods can be divided into two types: local selection method and global selection method. The local selection method is simple and efficient, but can not meet the end-to-end QoS constraints. The global selection method can satisfy the global QoS constraints,...
This paper presents a methodology for composing a SOA service chain by evaluating and selecting a service for the purpose of business result optimization. The methodology requires the business performance model for applied services to measure the value produced by services in a specific business context. Understanding the business characteristics where services are applied is a prerequisite for evaluating...
To improve the adaptability and stability of Dijkstra algorithm for solving routing problem of service composition, a method to solve routing problem of service composition based on an improved ant colony algorithm is proposed. Firstly, based on the traditional ant colony algorithm, the constraints of it are improved. Secondly, a problem solving model for improved ant colony algorithm is established,...
In this paper, a novel power control algorithm for cognitive radio networks is proposed based on game theory. Taking power expenditure, quality of service (QoS) of both primary users (PUs) and cognitive second users (SUs) into account, we can model the power control problem as a multi-objective optimization problem. To solve this problem, a convex cost function is first constructed in terms of transmit...
We present a service resource selection and scheduling approach capable of maximizing the resource utilization rate (RUT) and the requirement satisfaction degree (RSD) by bundling multiple customer requirements (CRs). In traditional approaches, each CR is optimally satisfied by independently selecting a set of candidate service resources. This possibly leads to a low RUT and low RSD. In our approach,...
Considering the quality-of-service (QoS), power allocation is a critical importance issue in realizing multi-hop relay systems. In this paper considering the QoS Constraints in term of BER or instantaneous SNR, an optimal power allocation scheme that minimized the total power consumption in an amplify-and-forward (AF) multi-hop multi-branch transmission system is proposed. Considering an asymptotic...
Quality of service (QoS) provisioning generally assumes more than one QoS measure which implies that QoS routing can be categorized as an instance of routing subject to multiple constraints: delay-jitter, bandwidth, cost, etc. We study the problem of constructing multicast trees to meet the QoS requirements of real-time interactive applications where it is necessary to provide bounded delays and bounded...
Cloud Computing System (CCS) aims to power the next generation data centers and enables application service providers to lease data center capabilities for deploying applications depending on user Quality of Service (QoS) requirements. Huge investments and complex managements are shifted from users to providers. To improve efficiency and simplify the management, in this paper, intelligent cloud computing...
There are certain aspects in the field of networking that needs to be accomplished, yet it is very difficult to achieve. One such concept is Optimization. Achieving a high degree of reliability will eventually lead us to Optimization. But, achieving high degree of reliability?? This indeed is a very big problem that needs a solution. There have been many solutions before that solves the problem in...
Unlike traditional routing schemes that route all traffic along a single path, multipath routing strategies split the traffic among several paths in order to ease congestion. It has been widely recognized that multipath routing can be fundamentally more efficient than the traditional approach of routing along single paths. aiming at the increasing network traffic and the deficity that the former Ant...
We consider the problem of cognitive code-division channelization (simultaneous power and code-channel allocation) for secondary transmission links co-existing with an unknown primary code-division multiple-access (CDMA) system. We first develop a blind primary-user identification scheme to detect the binary code sequences (signatures) utilized by primary users. To create a secondary link we propose...
