OLSR is a well-known proactive protocol for wireless networks. Although very efficient by many points, it suffers from the drawbacks of not taking into account QoS metrics such as delay or bandwidth. To overcome this pitfall, some QOLSR (QoS OLSR) solutions have been designed. Nevertheless, they still provide weak performance regarding QoS metrics. In this paper, we introduce a novel and simple neighbor...
Making an efficient, considerate and dynamic selection in heterogeneous wireless networks becomes a big challenge today. The traditional network selection based on utility function only considers two factors and destines to has limited use in multimedia application circumstances. In this paper, a novel utility based scheme is proposed to work in the future urban road heterogeneous wireless networks...
The following topics are dealt with: next generation Internet; wireless networks; QoS; admission control; overlays and virtualisation; multipath communications; context-aware networking; network resiliance and robustness; and network and traffic measurement.
This paper describes an approach to detect Quality of Service degradation due to packet congestion within wireless networks. The proposed approach can assist management systems to detect a degradation based on easy determinable packet metrics. Metrics like interface queue length, round trip times and retry ratio are evaluated regarding thresholds and detection performance. With a combination of metrics,...
In Cognitive Radio (CR) networks, spectrum sensing is a crucial technique to discover spectrum opportunities for the Secondary Users (SUs). The Quality-of-Service (QoS) of spectrum sensing is characterized by both sensing accuracy and sensing efficiency. Here, sensing accuracy is represented by the false alarm probability and the detection probability while sensing efficiency is represented by the...
An appropriate vertical handover process is the essential requirement for seamless mobility in heterogeneous wireless networks. The role of the handover process is to select the best target network. Several factors such as number of decision parameters and their relationships affect the handover decision. Little attention has been given to the understandability and modifiability of the decision model...
Cognitive Radio (CR) seems to be a promising solution to the radio spectrum congestion problem by opportunistic uses of the spectral holes to achieve efficient use of the frequency resource by allowing the coexistence of licensed (primary) and unlicensed (secondary) users in the same bandwidth. According to the cooperative wireless communication (CWC) concept the active nodes may increase their effective...
Using network coding in wireless networks can increase throughput and reduce energy consumption. Recently there are many works focusing on how to utilize network coding to increase throughput, however there are few works considering the quality of service such as delay which is important to time critical applications. This paper focuses on network coding based broadcast scheduling problem in time...
The trend of adopting more and more wireless mobile computers and smartphones has changed our way of living. Those devices heavily rely on the underlying wireless network systems to provide adequate communication support. As streaming audio and video becomes norm, the requests for stringent maximum end-to-end latency and minimum bandwidth make the networking process more difficult. Quality of Service...
This paper proposes a novel game-theoretic cross-layer design for orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) wireless networks, which operates optimal subcarrier, power and rate allocation. Based on the Nash bargaining solution (NBS) and coalitions, the proposed scheme not only maximizes the system's effective data rate but also supports proportional fairness among the users by considering...
Dynamic spectrum access has become a promising approach to fully utilize the scarce spectrum resources. In this paper, two new dynamic spectrum access schemes for secondary users are proposed, which are based on continuous-time Markov chains (CTMC). Both the interactions between primary and secondary users and the effects of imperfect spectrum sensing(i.e. miss-detection and false alarm) are considered...
Power management is one of the most important issues in IEEE 802.16e wireless networks. In the standard, it defines three types of power saving classes (PSCs) for flows with different QoS characteristics. It allows a mobile device to turn off its wireless radio when all its PSCs are in sleep states. In this paper, we consider the scheduling of power saving classes of type II in an IEEE 802.16e network...
Efficient resource allocation is a critical component in multi-user QoS communications and high speed networks. In this paper, we devise a new mathematical model for the resource allocation problem that takes into account the users' demands in a PHY-MAC cross-layer approach. Incorporating the time axis in our model, the target is to maximize the number of bits transmitted in a given frame rather than...

The system has been modeled as continuous time Markov chains with Poisson traffic for both new and handover calls. With mathematical results, formulations have been derived to show the values of new call blocking probability, probability of new calls are given...
Long term evolution (LTE) is the next generation wireless system that supports all IP transmission for multimedia services.

In the present paper, a game theoretic framework of joint channel selection and power allocation for spectrum sharing in distributed cognitive radio networks is proposed. The objective of the proposed scheme is to investigate the performance of the lower- priority system in spectrum sharing where the lower-priority users utilize the spectrum by selecting the channel and transmit power while aware...
In cellular network, dropping probability of handoff calls (Pd) and blocking probability of new calls (Pb) are two important QoS measures. In this paper, focusing on the problem of how to minimize blocking probability of new calls with guaranteed dropping probability of handoff calls, a new priority queueing policy with finite queue size is proposed. And a two-steps algorithm is developed for optimizing...
In a cognitive radio network that employs opportunistic spectrum access, the users are allowed to access a frequency band only when it is not being used by licensed users. Hence, spectrum sensing is of utmost importance, in order to efficiently exploit the unused spectrum and effectively protect the quality of service of licensed networks. For this reason, a time slot has been allocated for spectrum...
This paper proposes a game-theoretic approach to the problem of resource allocation for a CDMA wireless communication network, focusing on code synchronization. To capture the tradeoff between obtaining good synchronization performance and saving as much energy as possible, we propose a noncooperative game in which each pair transmitter-receiver in the network seeks to maximize the ratio of the probability...
The goal of our work is to limit inter-cell interference in two hops cooperative communication systems.We propose to exploit the standard half-duplex limitation of relays so as to coordinate in time and frequency the resource allocation of a cluster of neighbor cells, and then to adapt resource allocation to changes in the communication context. Simulation results show how our proposed allocation...
