For end-to-end QoS in IMS, our STB is designed to support virtual platforms such that a service provider is able to manage its own multimedia streams using feedback mechanism and ensure the desired QoS. The STB also works as a home gateway and provide QoS support to client nodes.
In this paper we present an analysis on Policy and Charging Control (PCC) functions in all IP-based multimedia networks and identify the required functionality for quality of service (QoS) monitoring. The support of "Application-driven Quality of Service" (ADQ) Parlay X Web Service to reporting function in PCC is evaluated and improvements of ADQ interfaces are suggested without violating...
Wireless mesh networks (WMNs) have matured in recent years. They allow two nodes to communicate via multiple hops when no direct connectivity exists. This allows community networks such as Freifunk to provide affordable Internet access to their communities by sharing a few gateway nodes. Increasing demand for multi-media content poses a challenge for the typical WMN routing protocols such a optimised...
We investigate how an ISP can efficiently detect bots in its subscribers' computers, possibly as a value-added service or to prevent collateral damage to its infrastructure. By causing an ISP's email servers and network links to get clogged or blacklisted, bots reduce the quality of service the ISP provides to its subscribers. We describe DNS Flagger, a novel device for ISP bot detection, and evaluate...
Voice-over-IP (VoIP) is a key component of next-generation-networks and rapidly becoming more and more common in the Internet in general. This also increases the demand of VoIP operators for a scalable, distributed and flexible monitoring. But current monitoring architectures are either not designed for including application layer protocol analysis and data acquisition, or they are very specific and...
As the next generation networks promise network convergence with services for both static and mobile networks, the research focus is converging towards standardizing a common infrastructure for all-IP networks. IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) is a recent initiative, which outlines a service delivery platform (SDP) framework. A flexible and robust QoS management system for IMS is essential to ascertain...
As the next generation networks promise to provide network convergence with services for both static and mobile networks, the recent research focus is converging in the direction of standardizing common infrastructure based on all-IP networks. IMS is a recent initiative, designed by 3GPP and TISPAN partnership, which outlines a service delivery platform (SDP) framework. A flexible and robust QoS management...
The transformational satellite communications system (TSAT) is the DoDpsilas next generation geosynchronous satellite communications constellation. The TSAT system features packet and circuit interfaces that support a wide variety of military missions by providing communication services to fixed ground, mobile ground, marine, and airborne terminals. These terminals access a variety of link rates and...
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...
This paper describes a methodology for building a reliable internet core router that considers the vulnerability of its electronic components to single event upset (SEU). It begins with a set of meaningful system level metrics that can be related to product reliability requirements. A specification is then defined that can be effectively used during the system architecture, silicon and software design...
Distributed software systems are characterized by increasing autonomy. They often have the capability to sense the environment and react to it, discover the presence of other systems and take advantage of their services, adapt and re-configure themselves in accordance with the internal as well as the global state. Testing this kind of systems is challenging, and systematic and automated approaches...
In this paper, we introduce a pricing model that ensures efficient resource allocation that provides guaranteed quality of service while maximizing profit in multiservice networks. Specifically, a dynamic allocation policy is examined that relies on online measurements while each service class operates under a probabilistic bound delay constraint. We present a rigorous analysis of the properties of...
As Grid networks grows, the complexity of resource management in Grid networks dramatically increases. To manage the Grid resources efficiently, policy based resource management system is suitable. However, the policy which made at a moment could not be appropriate to other time because the condition of the grid resources with time space changes. Thus, in this paper, we propose asynchronous policy-based...
Clinical Pathways are structured, multidisplinary plans of care designed to support the implementation of clinical guidelines and protocols. The goal of care-paths project (IST-1-507017) is to set up an intelligent operational environment for making clinical governance effective, to support health professionals, clinicians and care operators, in continually improving the quality of services and safeguarding...
