Delay Tolerant Mobile Sensor Networks (DTMSN) has the enormous potential to expand its applications in many previously impossible fields. Because of its intermittent link and limited network resources, this network needs an effective data forwarding algorithm to ensure valid data forwarding and highly delivery ratio. Recent approaches have drawbacks of computing nodes' delivery probability, because...
In IMT-Advanced system, carrier aggregation makes use of continuous or non-continuous spectrum which may be scattered in many channels, and then the individual component carrier frame is combined to form a new frame structure named frame aggregation. In this paper, flexible frame aggregation strategies are designed for different carrier aggregation situation in order to reduce the duplex delay existed...
Push-to-Talk over Cellular (PoC) system in mobile communication network, such as TD-SCDMA, is considered to have more wide coverage and more flexibility than traditional trunk communication systems. It is ideal for group communication in many cooperative work environments. But the foremost block for wider application of PoC system is the longer session setup latency comparing to other trunk communication...
With the explosion in traffic consumption, the limitations of centralized mobility protocols became a concern. As a result, the concept of distributed mobility management (DMM) emerged. Basically, DMM brings the mobility anchors closer to the users, avoiding issues as single point of failure and non-optimal routing. On the other hand, IP multicast, being designed for efficiency, is a key method for...
Vertical handoff plays an important role to provide seamless connectivity for a mobile user in an overlapped multinetwork environment. On the other hand in order to maintain network stability, efficient management of available radio resource becomes crucial as network operators want high network utilization and maximum profit generation. For vertical handoff management, existing research works considered...
Content access and downloading in vehicular environments is expected to heavily rely on the availability of roadside infrastructure. Although vehicle-to-vehicle communication is foreseen, data will mostly flow through roadside access points, or RSUs (RoadSide Units), which suffer from less connectivity problems. However, at least in the early stages of deployment, the RSU coverage will be spotty,...
3GPP defines the Policy and Charging Control (PCC) architecture to enforce network resources dynamically and to manage charging functions. In this paper, we present the design and implementation of Group Accounting System (GAS). GAS is based on the PCC architecture and is integrated with the IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) of Chunghwa Telecom. GAS allows a group of people to share one or more accounts...
For WLAN systems in which relaying is used to improve throughput performance, node mobility and information collection delays can have a significant impact on the performance of a relay selection scheme. This paper analyzes this influence on the decision process using a previously developed Markov Chain model. The evaluation is done for a realistic indoor scenario that is based on ray-tracing enriched...
Push-to-Talk over Cellular (PoC) system is ideal for group communication in many cooperative work environments because of its wider coverage and more flexibility than traditional trunk communication systems. The long session-setup-delay is an important problem that must be solved before the commercial application of PoC system. Many research works have been done to solve it in some mobile networks,...
Vehicles move so fast that they always cause the handover delay problem in the Vehicular Ad Hoc Network (VANET). This problem will lower down the throughput of the network and make the mobile devices' connection to the Internet ineffectively. To solve this problem, we propose a handover mechanism based on Care-of Prefix Pool (CoPP) in VANET with Mobile Network (NEMO). The vehicle adopting our handover...
Traffic generation represents one of the main challenge in modeling and simulating the application and network load. In this work, we present a tool, called OpenAirInterface Traffic Generator (OTG), for the generation of realistic application traffic that can be used for testing and evaluating the performance of emerging networking architectures. In addition to the traffic of conventional applications,...
This paper considers multiuser cooperative relay networks with user selection at the mobile station, where both the relay and mobile users are corrupted by a finite number of co-channel interferers. We study the impact of the outdated channel state information (CSI) on the system performances over time-varying Rayleigh fading channels by deriving the tight lower bounds for the outage probability and...
In mobile cognitive radio networks, the expected delay for a packet to be delivered to its destination via a singlehop communication (without relaying) is a fundamental metric that can provide a guidance to multi-hop routing protocol design and route planning. In this paper, we characterize the impact of PU activities, spectrum availabilities, channel bandwidth, MAC access, SU mobilities, and interference,...
The high dynamic of mobile peer-to-peer network makes the topology of network changing frequently, inconsistent of overlay network and bottom physical network topology, which can make worse network capability, higher failure rate of super-peer, longer query delay, lower effect of data transmission, as well as lower success rate of resource searching and system instability. This paper proposes a resource...
Efficient link management is important for mesh networking. The links opened between neighbor STAs should be stable and ensure high probability of packet delivery. Various approaches of link management are usually compared by simulation. The core contribution of this paper is original link management efficiency criteria and an analytical model of decision-making process of link management in IEEE...
The main function of biomedical sensor network is to guarantee that the data packets from patients can be delivered reliably to the destination node or medical center. Attached to patients, these nodes can be mobile, thus forming a mobile wireless sensor network (mWSN). Moreover, non-cooperative nodes may also be present in the network. This paper therefore proposes a routing method for non-cooperative...
This paper proposes a new vertical handover (VHO)-enhanced mobile service discovery and composition method over a hybrid service overlay network (H-SON). The overlay considers the dynamic characteristics of mobile nodes in the decision for node placement as well as the types of services provided and Quality of Service (QoS) levels. The mobile nature of media clients provokes a necessity to consider...
In telecommunication services, alongside QoS, QoE provision has become essential, thus performance and quality evaluation measurement results need to reflect reality as much as possible. Our goal is to enhance QoE evaluation schemes and enable improved QoE provision for video applications and services anytime and anywhere. In order to eliminate potential erroneous conclusions of QoE assessment techniques,...
Network Mobility (NEMO) is becoming an important requirement for today's and tomorrow's IP networks. NEMO can give us internet connectivity while on the move. NEMO Basic Support Protocol (BSP) has been proposed by Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) in order to address the need of mobile networks. But NEMO BSP has some limitations like inefficient route, high latency during handoff and packet delay...
In order for the mobile networks to stay connected to the Internet, Network Mobility (NEMO) is involved with the management of the different types of movements by mobile routers during rapid changes of the Point of Attachment (PoA). Accordingly to achieve seamless handoff with lower delay and packet loss in NEMO environment, it is very important to get better performance of mobility management protocol...
