In this paper, we study bicasting schemes for PMIPv6 whose purpose is to achieve seamless handovers by minimizing packet loss and handover delay during a handover in a PMIPv6 domain. Bicasting schemes are able to alleviate packet loss during a handover at the expense of utilization of a significant amount of backhaul bandwidth since packets are duplicated to the current and candidate point of attachment...
The widespread of radio communications has shown the need of increasing the efficiency of Radio Frequency Power Amplifiers. Some efficiency enhancement techniques, such as Envelope Tracking and Envelope Elimination and Restoration, require high efficiency DC/DC converters capable of tracking modern high-bandwidth communication signals. Traditional design techniques of switching power converters lead...
Wireless mesh networks (WMNs) offer dependable and scalable solutions for services utilizing large bandwidth. Enhancement in the deployed number of applications based on wireless mesh networks necessitated a corresponding increased demand for higher bandwidth. This paper proposes a framework for effective management of bandwidth in WMNs making use of the concepts of cross layer design and ant colony...
Nowadays, with the evolution of the mobile devices towards a multimode architecture, the users have the opportunity to utilize a wealth of services across a multitude of radio access technologies (RAT's). Variety of vertical handoff algorithms (VHA) have been proposed to help the user to select dynamically the best access network (BAN) in terms of quality of service. However, due to nature of VHA...
This article mainly describes the Ad hoc on-demand QoS routing based on Bandwidth Prediction (AQBP). Differing from the existing QoS routing protocols, AQBP takes node future bandwidth into consideration when selects route. The future bandwidth requirement of each node is predicted by its history. The performances of throughput, transmission ratio and delay among AODV, AQOR and AQBP have been simulated...
Based on the requirement of the transmission of real-time service in wireless sensor networks, the paper studies Weighted Fair Queuing (WFQ) algorithm profoundly. Having analyzed the reason why WFQ can't ensure the quality of real-time service, it proposes P-WFQ, which is a priority-based Weighted Fair Queuing (P-WFQ) algorithm. With sliding windows, P-WFQ combines WFQ and the priority-based mechanism...
In the view of the large scale and increasing kinds of service of space information networks, a service- oriented topology control algorithm is proposed. According to demands of existing service, the topology of network is divided into several logical sub-topologies, on which construct the corresponding topology. Taking the communication pattern as an example, the augmentation-based approach is adopted...
Optical-wireless convergence is becoming one of the evolutionary technologies to provide quality-of-service (QoS) guaranteed ubiquitous access to end users. In this paper, we analyze the effect of GEPON cycle-length on the QoS performance of the GEPON-LTE converged network, when different resource handling mechanisms are used. The simulation results indicate that the influence of different cycle-lengths...
IEEE 802.16 is a Wireless Metropolitan Area Network (WMAN) technology that supports both high speed data transmission and quality of service (QoS). Other than the data speed, QoS is always another concern to the end users and applications. However, providing QoS in IEEE 802.16 is a challenging mission because it involved many components that interact with each other. One of the important components...
Cloud infrastructure providers (CIPs) usually build a large number of geo-distributed data centers to cater to the recent proliferation of Cloud Computing. The CIPs commonly use multiple internet service providers (ISPs) to interconnect their geo-distributed data centers. Diurnal patterns and leftover bandwidth were effectively exploited by past studies to improve bandwidth utilization and minimize...
With the popularity of cloud computing, high volume data needs to be processed in real-time. Therefore, many distributed stream processing systems have risen to deal with this requirement. One kind of distributed stream processing applications contains several PEs which are connected together to implement the application logic. As data is in the form of streams and it needs to be processed in real-time,...
Many Internet users use P2P live streaming services which deliver live video contents to many users. In the services, the video content is sliced into small pieces called chunks. The peers not only receive but also send the chunks to watch the video contents. Source's load for delivering is reduced. In an Offer Select method, each peer offers sendable chunks to it's neighbors. The neighbors select...
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...
We present experimental results for performance of the 2D hypermesh NoC topology, realized with the Altera Family of FPGAs. Hypermeshes are based on the concept of hypergraphs, which consist of a set of nodes and a set of hyper-edges, where the hyper-edges represent low-latency distributed switches. In a 2D hypermesh, the nodes in each row or column are members of a hyperedge, where packets can traverse...
Experimentation is typically the last step before launching a network application in the wild. However, it is often difficult to gather enough hardware resources for experimenting with a reasonably sized overlay application inside a controlled environment. Virtualization is thus a handy technique for creating such an experimentation testbed. We propose a tool called NEmu designed to create virtual...
A new scheduling module, the Selective Early Detection (SED) mechanism is proposed in this paper. An experimental evaluation in order to demonstrate how this algorithm succeeds in enhancing the quality, improving the performance and easing the deployment of a production level service is carried out. SED algorithm is useful in controlling the Actual average queue size, and hence the queuing delay,...
Delay tolerant network (DTN) is a common, store-and-forward overlay designed, message-oriented, reliable architecture for high latency, low data rate network model. Because of high latency and low data rate, the traditional network congestion algorithm can not apply to DTN. Then how to prolong system lifetime, improve fairness, and improve quality of service in terms of packet loss rate and throughput...
In this paper a new fault tolerant multi disjoint path routing algorithm is proposed based on AHP decision making method in IP/MPLS networks. Metrics for decision are bandwidth, delay and our defined availability factor. According to our algorithm, more reliable multi paths are found from source to destination in the network. Multi disjoint paths are selected in these steps: First, a given source...
Wireless multimedia communications such as Video Transfer over Radio Interface (VToRI) is widely acknowledged as one of the key, emerging applications for wireless networks. They are becoming popular and are major revenue earners for wireless communication providers. As a service with real-time requirement, VToRI requires a low delivering delay under the constraint of bandwidth. Larger bandwidth and...
