The IEEE 802.16 standard for broadband wireless access is a low cost solution for Internetaccess in metropolitan and rural areas. Although it defines five service levels to support real-time and bandwidth demanding applications, scheduling mechanisms are not specified in the standard. Due to the wireless channel variability, scheduling mechanisms widely studied for wired networks are not suitable...
As an emerging networking technology, cognitive radio networks (CRNs) have drawn immense attention in the wireless networking community. Since multimedia services have become widely popular among wireless communication services users, supporting those services over CRNs has become an interesting research topic in recent years. However, due to the random nature of the resource availability in CRNs,...
Reducing the energy consumption of cellular wireless access networks is not only beneficial for the global environment but also makes commercial sense for telecommunication operators. Since access networks are designed to support peak time traffic, the utilization of base stations can be very inefficient during off-peak time because the traffic profile is time varying. We study the dynamic switching...
QoS provisioning is an important issue in the deployment of broadband wireless access networks. The scheduling scheme is essential to guarantee the QoS requirements of different service classes. WiMAX Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) system specifies the Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbol mapping in a rectangular shape manner. In this paper, we propose a...
For critical services the availability of the wireless access is one of the fundamental QoS requirements. Availability can be used as one of the criteria in handover/multihoming decision. Assuming independency between different access networks will over estimate the availability. Dependencies will be retrieved by a detailed structure function including all equipment used. In this paper we address...
Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) are experiencing higher data rate and radius coverage, making possible high quality audio and video transmission. An IPTV system can be built in any home using the Wireless IEEE 802.11n standard because it provides enough data rate and range than the other IEEE 802.11 variants. IEEE 802.1a/b/g standards do not offer enough bandwidth to provide several ITPV channels...
Next generation wireless systems represent an heterogeneous environment encompassing different radio access network technologies (RATs) that differ in bandwidth, latency or cost. At the same time, mobile devices can now support multiple radio network interfaces and are therefore able to select from various available multiple heterogeneous access networks the most appropriate one in order to satisfy...
Combined Dynamic Spectrum Access (DSA) with wireless multi-hop networks, a QoS guaranteed multi-hop channel allocation algorithm is proposed. The algorithm could enhance the spectral efficiency of primary users and guarantee the QoS requirements of cognitive users through a specific optimal channel allocation criterion. The multi-hop relay nodes are selected by the upper and lower power thresholds...
In the last few years, we have witnessed an explosion of IP connectivity demand, translated into a rapid development of the corresponding technologies in the wireless access network domain. IP services provision anytime and anywhere becomes very challenging and is seen by the mobile operators as a major opportunity for boosting the average revenue per unit. The further success of IP services deployment...
Quality communication over the wireless channel is now promised because of the advent of the broadband wireless. High speed data access is expected to be provided to subscribers through broadband wireless access. We propose a joint Call Admission Control (CAC) and Bandwidth Allocation (BA) for an IEEE 802.16 based WiMAX system. The presented schemes aim to provide QoS support along with a fair resource...
A goal for next generation mobile networks is to provide seamless personal mobile communication and improved quality of service (QoS). Fair, class based service and lossless handoff are a focus for improving QoS. The research presented in this paper proposes a scheduling mechanism for providing improved QoS in mobile broadband Internet Protocol (IP) high-speed downlink packet access (HSDPA) networks...
Recently mobile IPTV service becomes primary service to boost sluggish IT industry. Also 3D image seems to be more prominent in broadcasting service. Therefore 3D image service over mobile IPTV service network will appear as key converging telecommunications and broadcasting service. In order to provide 3D image in wireless access network, it's necessary to enhance the capacity of wireless access...
Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) offer broadband wireless Internet access with flexible and cost-effective deployment. Security is one of the key issues should be considered before WMNs get widespread use. Authentication and key establishment (AKE) schemes enable two entities to share common communication keys in an authentic way. In a WMN, a Mesh Client (MC) and the accessing Mesh Router (MR) need to...
Polling schemes in the IEEE 802 MAC layer provide some QoS support for multimedia applications above what can be provided with the contention scheme. However, in highly loaded environments, reliability and efficiency remain the main challenges for current detailed polling schemes. In this paper, we present a detailed analysis of polling medium access, and propose a novel mechanism, the Registered...
In this paper, we propose a SINR(Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio), AHP(Analytic Hierarchy Process) and information Entropy weight method based TOPSIS (SAE-TOPSIS) vertical handoff algorithm which uses the combined effects of SINR with SINR value from one network being converted to equivalent SINR value to the target network for getting the same data rate, user required bandwidth, user traffic...
In this paper, a novel power control algorithm for cognitive radio networks is proposed based on game theory. Taking power expenditure, quality of service (QoS) of both primary users (PUs) and cognitive second users (SUs) into account, we can model the power control problem as a multi-objective optimization problem. To solve this problem, a convex cost function is first constructed in terms of transmit...
Service outsourcing is a mechanism that allows competing operators to share network capacity and provide services to their subscribers for mutual benefit. An operator (custodian) who is experiencing an overshoot in the peak demand for network resources can negotiate an SLA with a competing but federated network (candidate) to provide network access for users of arriving service requests. Two main...
HSPA (High Speed Packet Access) technologies have become an attractive solution for broadband wireless Internet access. This article evaluates the quality of service experimented by one HSPA user in the presence of multiple terminals sharing the cell capacity. The study focuses on Web traffic and includes analytical and simulation results, providing a basis for dimensioning and admission control in...
Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) offers QoS-aware broadband access through a wireless medium, being IEEE 802.16 one of the BWA standards. In it, the Base Station (BS) is responsible of allocating the required bandwidth by the rest of nodes, acting as a central controller. The other nodes, Subscriber Stations (SSs), have to send a bandwidth request to give the BS the knowledge about their needs, taking...
Wireless systems have the capability to address broad geographic area without the costly infrastructure deployment. However, the main drawback resides in the bandwidth limitation and the coverage for single access point. The deployment of Femtocell as the promising wireless access technology becomes one of the possible solution. In this paper the handover procedure in femtocell network is studied...
