Vehicular ad hoc network (VANET) is an emerging network technology with the goal of providing public safety, traffic coordination and infotainment for the comfort of passengers in moving vehicles. However, it faces the challenge of not providing the expected quality of service (QoS) when streaming videos online. This challenge emanate from the variable topology infrastructure caused by intrinsic high...
In this paper we have studied downlink packet scheduling algorithms proposed for LTE cellular networks. The study emphasize on six most promising scheduling algorithms such as: FLS, EXP rule, LOG rule, PF, MLWDF, EXP/PF.
Carrier Aggregation (CA) features will enhance Quality of Service (QoS) for the users as well as cell throughput of the LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) base-station (eNodeB). To deliver a high QoS for users, an eNodeB requires a well-designed and efficient CA enabled downlink scheduling algorithm. Enabling aggregation of multiple component carriers leads to huge power consumption compared with non-CA scenario...
Software-Defined Network (SDN) allows a centralized controller to globally plan packets forwarding according to the operator's objectives. It may require more forwarding rules, and multi-path routing which is allowed in SDN to improve network utilization and throughput means more forwarding rules. However, the forwarding table in TCAM-based SDN switch is an important but limited resource. With this...
In the traditional Publish/Subscribe (Pub/Sub) paradigm, most of the responsibilities lie with the broker, thus making it burdened. It also takes a considerable amount of time to first route the publications and subscriptions towards the broker, and then to further route the notifications to the subscribers. This leads to delays in data delivery. Besides delay and bandwidth consumption, the number...
An LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) Heterogeneous Network (HetNet) constitutes of a macro cell and small cells, where, the former acts as an overlay network and the latter as an underlay network. In HetNet, enabling Carrier Aggregation (CA) usually results in severe downlink interference at small cells from macro cell because of high powered transmissions from macro cell on over-lapping component carriers (co-channels)...
The smart grid is a modern electricity grid that uses wireless technologies to control and supervise the substation and the electricity generation and consumption sides. Several wireless technologies can be used for smart grid communication such as Long-Term evolution (LTE) and Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX). However, LTE is the most compatible network for the smart grid because...
User Datagram Protocol (UDP) is designed as light weight protocol with no support for handshaking, ordering and error recovery etc. Hence, UDP is a preferred protocol where reliability can be traded-off for the end-to-end delay experienced by the users. This makes UDP suitable for delay sensitive traffic such as video and voice applications. In the literature, various models have been presented for...
Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) has been adopted in the newest fifth generation radio networks (5G) such as Cloud Radio Access Networks (C-RANs) and Heterogeneous Cloud Radio Access Networks (H-CRANs). Therefore, new scheduling strategies should be projected. In 5G radio networks, restricted requirements must be considered to implement an effective service to users such as throughput,...
In this paper, QoS characteristics such as TCP throughput is investigated for densely deployed mobile wireless LANs (WLANs). Factors affecting throughput characteristics are discussed and evaluated by using real machines such as smartphones and portable APs. In IEEE 802.11 WLANs, a rate adaptation mechanism controls the transmission rate and one of the dominant factors for QoS. In order to understand...
The development of network services makes their requirements for bandwidth become higher and more various, which leads to difficulty in Quality of Service (QoS) guarantee. In this paper, an OpenFlow switch featuring Weighted Fair Queuing (WFQ) algorithm is proposed. The system is implemented into NetFPGA 1G board which utilizes Xilinx Virtex II Pro 50 technology. The results have shown that our circuit...
The heterogeneity between macro and pico base stations (BSs) and the uneven traffic distribution bring challenges for the load balancing and interference coordination in heterogeneous networks (HetNets). Besides, how to guarantee the quality of service (QoS) requirement of pico users when the heavy traffic is offloaded from macro BSs to pico BSs is also a problem worth considering. In this paper,...
The Comparative Study of three main energy efficient wireless sensor networks (WSNs) protocols are studied according to their working. The WSN protocols are Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy (LEACH), Power-Efficient Gathering in Sensor Information System (PEGASIS) and Threshold Sensitive Energy Efficient Sensor Network (TEEN). These three protocols work on hierarchical structure to succeed...
Quality of service (QoS) requirements have paved the way to a great deal of research about scheduling and resource allocation mechanisms. The fairness and throughput maximization have been considered as classical techniques. These techniques fail to fit with different QoS requirements over the Long Term Evolution (LTE) systems. These QoS requirements are presented in the form of scheduling priorities,...
Admission control is a fundamental mechanism used for Quality of Service (QoS) provisioning by restricting the access to the network resources. In this paper, we consider the application of superposition coding to increase the system capacity through multiuser diversity exploitation. We propose a joint great fairness admission control and superposition coding scheme to provide a good tradeoff between...
In this work we report the final results of the field demonstration of the European FP7 mPlane project concerning the evaluation of the network performance with particular details regarding the access Quality of Service and traffic monitoring. We show how the proposed and experimented architecture of this measurement plane is fundamental for many future internet evolutions concerning user perception,...
In order to solve the problem of on-board optical burst switching assembly algorithm cannot realize completely QoS guarantee, an on-board optical burst switching weight-weighted round robin assembly algorithm based on the QoS guarantee(QWRRA) is proposed in this paper. In this assembly algorithm, IP packet will be inserted in different queue according to the different destination and QoS level when...
This paper aims to improve the QoS of IEEE802.11e standard. It is intelligently performed by adjusting the contention parameters of the MAC layer based on desired priorities of the nodes. We focus on CW and AIFS that are used for calculating the back-off time to have traffic priority in accessing the channel in EDCA part of IEEE802.11e standard. The proposed scheme is called SN-EDCA (Smart Node-EDCA)...
Colossal amounts of data are being generated in extreme-scale e-Sciences with the advent of new computation tools and experimental infrastructures. Such extremely large and complex data sets normally need to be transferred remotely for data storage and analysis. Reserving bandwidth as needed along selected paths in high-performance networks (HPNs) has proved to be an effective way to satisfy the high-demanding...
The rapid advancement in cloud computing is leading to a promising future for shared data centers hosting diverse applications.
