The Internet is witnessing explosive growth in traffic, in large part due to bulk transfers. Delivering such traffic is expensive for ISPs because they pay other ISPs based on peak utilization. To limit costs, many ISPs are deploying ad-hoc traffic shaping policies that specifically target bulk flows. However, there is relatively little understanding today about the effectiveness of different shaping...
Wireless communication in a car has several advantages, given that demanded safety and real-time requirements are fulfilled. This paper presents a wireless MAC protocol designed for the needs of automotive and industrial applications. The proposed MAC protocol provides special support for network traffic prioritization in order to guarantee worst-case message delays for a set of high-prioritized nodes...
One-way delay (OWD) is an important measurand for network management. It can indicate routing problems, network congestion, and is useful for tracking down application problems to network effects. While active measurements deliver high accuracy, measuring OWD actively on all paths of large networks results in high effort. Thus, passive measurements are attractive. Our approach for measuring OWD is...
Designing a heterogeneous network including systems providing different QoS, such as the emerging WiMAX, is a difficult task. The integration of a WiMAX access system with Differentiated Services (DiffServ) enhances the overall performance of the network. This paper investigates the interworking between WiMAX and DiffServ networks, by measuring one-way delay, jitter and packet drop rate of VoIP traffic...
This paper proposes a new scheduling algorithm for IEEE 802.16-2005 Broadband Wireless Metropolitan Area Networks in TDD mode. The proposed algorithm focuses on solving the problem of handling high priority traffic in congested networks while minimizing starvation conditions for other served classes. In this work, a detailed simulation study is carried out for the proposed scheduling algorithm as...
Analysis of IEEE 802.15.4 CSMA/CA scheme with homogeneous or saturated traffic has received considerable attention recently since a great convenience is offered to applications of low-power and low-rate wireless sensor networks (WSNs) which almost touch upon all aspects of our life. In this paper, we propose a stochastic analysis approach to evaluate the delay performance of CSMA/CA scheme with heterogeneous...
Network coding can significantly improve the throughput and power efficiency of wireless networks by mixing packets from different flows into a single packet. However, forcing packets to be coded may induce large delay and packet-loss rate which is intolerable to some services such as real-time communications. Considering the diversity of traffic flows and the stochastic nature of the packet arrival...
Stringent QoS maintenance in a wireless environment for VoIP communication is a major challenge. VoIP inherently generates constant bit rate traffic and is highly sensitive to network delay. However, unpredictable network congestion makes a VoIP session so degraded that its QoS goes below a tolerable limit. Accordingly, a suitable solution is needed to adapt varying network conditions satisfying minimum...
Optical packet switching is an emerging technology, which provides enormous bandwidth for Internet traffic. In this paper, we investigate the performance of hybrid buffering optical packet switch with fixed-length packets under self-similar Pareto traffic, for a more realistic traffic. The performance is evaluated in terms of packet loss rate and average delay by means of simulation experiments. Usually,...
Multimedia services over resource constrained Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) face a performance bottleneck issue from the gateway node to the sink node. Therefore, the queue management at the gateway node is crucial for diversified messages conveyed from the front nodes to the sink node. In this study, we focus on the performance improvement upon different traffic loads over WSNs. A dynamic adaptation...
LTE (Long Term Evolution) supports QoS (Quality of Service) with several service classes. For each class of traffic, a big difference exists on BER (Bit Error Rate) requirement. This leads to a considerable difference in transmission power for various classes of traffic. In this paper, a novel scheduler is designed and proposed for LTE which supports CoS (Class of Service) with the consideration of...
In this paper a flow-based model balancing queues at the nodes of MPLS-network is proposed. The novelty of the model is that it, in the contrast to the previously known models takes into account the features of the Traffic Engineering Queues technology. This technology has a purpose to ensuring load balancing of the node buffer resource.
In this paper, we propose a distributed call admission control scheme for multiservice OFDMA system. In our proposed call admission control (CAC) scheme, a cell dynamically adjusts optimal new call and handoff acceptance ratios by three steps. First, exchange numbers of calls in handoff area with its adjacent cells. Then, dynamically allocate resource for different types of traffic. Finally, use a...
In a wireless domain where a mobile user accesses heterogeneous wireless technologies with multiple interfaces, a multi-path scheduling algorithm can benefit mobile users' experience by aggregating different network bandwidth together. However, existing literature actually shows that for TCP flows, it may not be the case. To better exploit multi-path scheduling for TCP connections, this paper presents...
This work presents a study of RTP multiplexing schemes, which are compared with the normal use of RTP, in terms of ITU R-factor quality estimator. The bandwidth saving of the different schemes is studied, and some tests with VoIP traffic are carried out in order to compare R-factor using three different router buffer policies. Network delays are added using an adequate statistical distribution. The...
Switch fabrics for 100 Gigabit Ethernet systems pose high demands in terms of delay and scalability. In this paper we analyze the performance of a Clos-based switch fabric under uniform and bursty traffic, and compare its performance to a crossbar-based switch design for benchmarking. In particular, we focus on a Clos-design using a Space-Memory-Memory (SMM) configuration, which has recently gained...
In this paper, we explore the idea of using traffic forecasting to improve the delay performance of a schedule-based medium access control protocol. Schedule-based channel access has been shown to utilize network and energy resources efficiently but is often hindered by the extra delay that scheduling introduces. We explore the use of traffic forecasting to anticipate transmission schedules instead...
Prioritization of flows in a home network based on traffic classification is still no guarantee that enough bandwidth will be available between a server and a client. Besides, such QoS technologies need to be supported by every device in the end-to-end path to be effective, which is relatively expensive for the owners of home networks. In any small-scale IP network (best-effort or QoS-enabled) it...
Improving the interaction experience between humans and computers is a major research challenge and one of the most promising new modes of Human Computer Interaction (HCI) is via haptic devices which provide users with the sense of touch while interacting with computer systems. Two or more users may interact with each other and exchange the sense of touch by using Distributed Haptic Virtual Environments...
