This paper presents a CMOS 65 nm optical receiver design based on a continuous-time feed-forward equalizer (CT-FFE). A low-bandwidth front-end approach increases the mid-band gain and improves sensitivity. However, the intersymbol interference (ISI) that is introduced must be removed using equalization. The proposed CT-FFE topology mitigates the challenges of sampling present in discrete-time FFEs...
An alternative architecture to conventional voltage controlled oscillator based analog-to-digital converters (VCO-ADCs) is proposed in this paper. The new architecture allows to enhance the resolution of the converter without the need of extending noise shaping order. Instead, the oversampling ratio is increased by sampling the outputs of the VCO through an array of digital delay lines. The output...
In this paper, we present a measurement campaign of indoor massive MIMO channels by using a wideband channel sounder and a rectangular large-scale array with 256 elements. The measurements are conducted at 11 GHz, with a bandwidth of 200 MHz, and the light-of-sight (LOS) scenario is considered. Some basic channel parameters, including shadow fading, delay spread and coherence bandwidth, are extracted...
Regardless of the bandwidth of reflectarray (RA) elements, the RA bandwidth is narrower for many possible reasons. For a RA with small f/D, the ray path length varies as we move away from the center, which is compensated by the elements that are designed at the center frequency. However, as the frequency changes, the path length phase errors grows, as we move away from the center, at a more rapid...
Modern internet traffic is heavily composed of some form of video communication. In addition, video streaming is slowly replacing regular phone connections. Given that most video transport utilizes Video over Hypertext Transfer Protocol/Transmission Control Protocol (HTTP/TCP), it is important to understand TCP performance in transporting video streams. Recently, multipath transport protocols have...
Low latency anonymity systems, like Tor and I2P, support private online communications, but offer limited protection against powerful adversaries with widespread eavesdropping capabilities. It is known that general-purpose communications, such as web and file transfer, are difficult to protect in that setting. However, online instant messaging only requires a low bandwidth and we show it to be amenable...
A service-aware dynamic bandwidth allocation with CoMP is proposed in the heterogeneous 5G fronthaul network. Simulation results show that the throughput and delay performance of users have been improved, and the QoS for high priority users can be guaranteed preferentially.
The use of Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) equipment in a network could simplify the conventional work load for system management and accelerate the control action. The authors proposed a congestion control method that uses a DPI device installed in a network to estimate overload conditions of servers or network links and, upon detecting an overload condition, resolves congestion by moving some virtual...
Ubiquitous in-network caching is one of the important aspects of the Information-Centric Networking (ICN), which has been a hot topic of ICN research. Many works have tried to propose better caching schemes to solve the drawbacks of the default en-route scheme, but most of them are insufficient to improve performance of entire network for just considering single layer optimization factor. Also considering...
This paper is an up-to-date short overview of the QoS for Satellite IP networks. Some definitions, parameters and requirements for QoS are given. IP QoS Architectures are presented and various contributions to end-to-end QoS at each layer are included. DVB-RCS and evolution to standard DVB-S2 - RCS to support emerging Internet services via satellite is also briefly approached. Possible integration...
Resource competition, a serious problem in many actual networks, largely influence the network performance and may lead to network congestion. The allocation of link's bandwidth resource is a key process to relieve the situation. Researchers have put forward some strategies to improve the network capacity. They thought that the allocation strategies were determined by the importance of each link which...
Named Data Networking (NDN) has been drawing increasing attention in both academia and industry. Data forwarding is one of the key issues in relation to efficient content retrieval in named data DTN. In this paper, we propose an activeness-based data forwarding protocol, named as ADF, to support efficient content retrieval in named data delay tolerant networks. Using the real movement trajectory data...
Consumers frequently get Internet access through a single home gateway. Gateways using conventional FIFO queue management can introduce hundreds or even thousands of milliseconds of additional delay when congested by bulk TCP data transfers. This delay impacts negatively on any latency-sensitive interactive traffic (such as Voice over IP, or First Person Shooter games). Such applications prefer network...
Multimedia streaming is a significant source of Internet traffic, with Netflix and YouTube accounting for more than 50% of North American fixed network peak download traffic in 2016. Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (DASH) is a recent standard for live and on-demand video streaming services, where clients adapt the video quality on-the-fly to match the network capacity by requesting multi-rate...
Geographical load balancing (GLB) is widely established by cloud providers, to exploit the differences in electricity price, local green energy generation, transmission delay and cost etc across geographically dispersed data centers (DCs). With GLB, a cloud provider can achieve reduction of electricity cost or/and bandwidth cost or/and delay cost. However, these objectives are not independent from...
This paper explains how Fusion networking technology can be used as a communication mechanism between utility substations for transporting time critical traffic in wide area power system protection applications to attain deterministic low delay, zero packet loss and ultra-low packet delay variation. The requirements for inter substation communications are presented with focus on the IEC 61850 protocols...
Reverse Path Forwarding based multicasting used in Distance Vector Multicast Routing Protocol (DVMRP) has the major drawback of generating large number of duplicate and prune packets. Use of the concept of pseudo diameter reduces the number of duplicate packets. The reason is that pseudo diameter helps in the reduction of the scope of travel of a packet. In this work a new approach of multicasting...
We propose a new two-stage energy-saving scheme allocating the idle time of one ONU's transceiver to other ONUs based on downstream and upstream matching and dividing ONUs into two categories which adopt different energy-saving modes according to their traffic. The simulation results show that proposed scheme can reduce the power consumption and delay of ONUs.
This paper proposed a novel DWBA scheme for wavelength-agile based NG-EPON to cater frame resequencing problem and to improve fairness among ONUs while maintaining low packet delay for online scheduling upstream bandwidth on multiple wavelengths.
Smart-home is becoming increasingly popular in recent years, and it introduces a new content retrieval paradigm - delay-insensitive downloading. In this new paradigm, users do not require the content retrieval task to finish as soon as possible, but only set a deadline for it. We study the role of this paradigm in the traffic engineering of a chunk-based cloud storage service. We propose that it could...
