This paper proposes an intelligent rate controller for the Internet traffic. Called the IntelRate (Intelligent Rate), it is a router-based controller and uses the fuzzy logic control approach to adjust the source sending rate based on the instantaneous queue size of the router. Unlike other explicit congestion control protocols, the IntelRate controller need not evaluate the link states (such as bottleneck...
In this paper we introduce a connection admission control (CAC) mechanism for IEEE 802.16 broadband wireless access standard. Our scheme is based on the bandwidth reservation concept and has been developed considering the problem of "busy hour" in communications traffic variation during a typical day. The proposed solution, which is compatible to the IEEE 802.16 Standard, provides higher...
Although fair bandwidth allocation (FBA) can be achieved in optical burst switching (OBS) networks, the actual transmission rate of the flow not only depends on the fairly allocated rate but also its burst loss probability, which tends to increase with larger hop counts due to the high-loss characteristic of OBS. The previous proposals provide FBA with distance fairness provisioning in various ways,...
In this paper, we propose a distributed adaptive interference coordination algorithm for a practical orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA)-based mobile cellular systems. The designed algorithm can achieve an efficient frequency reuse for any user distribution and traffic load. Since no a priori frequency planning is required, the minimal coordination between base stations is also achieved...
In multihop wireless networks, end-to-end throughput is often hard to predict and is even harder to optimize due to the effect of interference. To date there is no precise result other than asymptotic bounds for this question: if there is no routing information given, what is the maximum throughput of a network using uncoordinated transmission such as IEEE 802.11 MAC? This paper attempts to address...
Large-scale network simulation is widely used to facilitate development, testing and validation of new and existing network technologies. To ensure a high-fidelity experimental environment, we often need to embed real devices and have the simulator running faster than real time. Since the generation and movement of background traffic in a network simulation represents so much of the workload, we develop...
Using wireless mesh network characteristics of multi-hop networks, self-organization and other features, to improve the question of the overlarge quantities of communication task, uneven use of resources lead to the problem of low reliability of network communication. Analyze the factors which affect network reliability in the processes of information communication. And combine with bandwidth, node...
Energy consumption is a concern with mobile de-vices nowadays. Network interfaces are among the most power hungry components in these devices. In this paper, we describe the design and implementation of a client-centric protocol for energy efficiency. Inspired by earlier work, our protocol works by exploiting the TCP flow-control mechanism to shape incoming traffic into bursts in order to utilize...
Multimedia applications present new challenges to the current networking technology. One of them is Quality of Service (QoS) requirement. Due to the increasing dynamics of traffic introduced by multimedia applications, dynamic and flexible QoS (Quality of Service) control is needed to ensure both QoS satisfaction and resource efficiency. Because integrated service networks are designed to support...
Heterogeneous wireless network (HWN) technology has emerged as an important option for the next generation mobile network, where mobile client (MC) are capable of simultaneously connecting to multiple access networks for better quality of services (QoS) at a lower cost. Different from a conventional HWN that uses a single connection and performs vertical handover, we observe the performance of MCs...
This paper focuses on improving the scheduling capabilities of the IEEE 802.16-2005 broadband wireless networks, through utilizing multi-queuing algorithms and switching between those queuing algorithms over time to maximize the performance of the WiMAX system. The proposed algorithm aims to improve throughput of high priority traffic in congested networks, without violating the right of lower-priority-traffic...
In this paper, we study the delay performance of wireless network considering different resource allocation schemes with single-hop traffic. Existing works studying the delay performance only consider a given resource allocation scheme, either multi-channel system (sharing bandwidth) or time slotted system (sharing time). The fundamental question ignored is which type of resource allocation scheme...
When moving towards fully Peer-to-Peer Virtual Environments (P2P-VE), the amount of network traffic generated at each peer remains a significant concern. Multiplayer Online Games (MOG) are the largest application subset of VEs and have been shown to require high frequency of update messages and minimal network latencies. Yet, this demanding criteria must be balanced with the need to also limit the...
The estimation of Retransmission Timeout (RTO) in Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) affects the throughput of the transmission link. If the RTO is just a little larger than the Round Trip Time (RTT), retransmissions will occur too often, and this increases congestion in the transmission link. If the RTO is much larger than the RTT, the response to retransmit when a packet is lost will be too slow,...
Intra- and Inter-flow interferences are the principal causes of network utilization degradation in MR-MC (Multi-Radio Multi-Channel) wireless mesh networks. To minimize these interferences, we propose in this paper a channel assignment algorithm and incorporate it in an on-demand routing protocol called the HCARP (Hybrid Channel Assignment Routing Protocol). In addition, HCARP uses load balancing...
In this paper we develop an optimized control strategy for the connection bandwidth maximization over a time varying wireless channel, by jointly controlling the adaptive source rate and the client/playout buffering policy with constraints on the maximum connection bandwidth allowed at the Application (APP) layer, the queue-capacities available at the DataLink (DL) layer and the average and peak transmit...
Network performance measurements have been broadly used in order to debug and to assess the reliability of the network. In general performance measurement is a resource consuming process, which in practice derives in hardly scalable systems. However, in order to control and monitor network resource usage and to assess the quality of multimedia traffic, it is broadly accepted that efficient and scalable...
When a content provider (CP) provides peer-to-peer live streaming service, routing decisions based on the knowledge of underlay traffic could lead to much better performance (such as user delay). On the other hand, if the Internet Service Providers (ISPs) provide underlay traffic information to the CP, their overall network cost due to routing inefficiencies could be reduced. There is hence incentive...
This paper proposes a multicast traffic grooming scheme for efficient resource utilization in wavelength- division multiplexing (WDM) mesh networks. This Light-Tree Division -Adjacent Node Component based Grooming scheme (LTD-ANCG) is based on the idea of dividing a light-tree into smaller sub-light-trees. It improves the efficiency of resource utilization and lowers the optical- electronic-optical...
In this paper, a new algorithm for dynamic traffic grooming is introduced. It considers the holding-time of the connections and it aims at balancing the load among existing lightpaths to avoid the formation of bottlenecks and, consequently, high blocking probability values. Results indicate that it produces significantly lower blocking probabilities when compared to other holding-time-aware algorithm...
