Internet traffic has been growing year-after-year for decades, but processing all that traffic through traditional IP routers has become an obstacle to further expansion. Router bypass has been introduced recently to overcome capacity limitations and processing costs of IP routers. With router bypass, a portion of traffic is provisioned to bypass the traditional router and is instead switched by the...
This paper presents an efficient resource allocation approach for outband device-to-device communication within cellular networks. The proposed method aims to maximize bandwidth resource utilization and simplify system protocols, greatly optimizing throughput by minimizing the number of blocked connections and increasing the ease of operation. Using this method, bandwidth resources can be effectively...
In this paper, using an autonomous and distributed approach, we aim at realizing a control mechanism, which is scalable in terms of the network size, for joint optimization of the multi-path routing and bandwidth allocation (MRBA). Multi-path routing is to determine multiple paths from the source node to the sink node such that the traffic demand by the source node can be successfully transferred...
Large-scale Internet VoD services often adopt a hybrid overlay approach using both P2P and CDN to stream video content. When the underlay ISP network interconnection is weak, as the situation is found in China, it is important to provision the CDN bandwidth carefully in different ISP networks. Through measurement studies using real world data (from Tencent Video), it is found that users in large ISP...
Quality of Experience (QoE) is a wide concept including user perception, behavior and expectations as well as application and network performances. The Internet of the future should be able to increase the QoE offered to the users, also in relationship with their commercial profiles. This paper presents an innovative approach, based on game theory, which, according to the feedback of QoE, is able...
In this paper, we investigate the energy-efficient uplink radio resource allocation scheme with quality of service (QoS) guarantees in heterogeneous wireless networks. All mobile terminals (MTs) have multi-homing capability, which can communicate with access points (APs) of the multiple radio access technologies (RATs) simultaneously. Currently, the energy efficiency (EE) is very important in the...
In this paper, we consider the energy-bandwidth allocation for a network with multiple orthogonal broadcast channels, where each transmitter communicates with multiple receivers orthogonally. We assume that the harvested energy and channel gain of each transmitter can be predicted for K slots a priori. To maximize the weighted throughput of the network, we formulate an optimization problem with O(MK)...
In 5G networking, it is promising to integrate cellular system and wireless local area networks (WLAN) to enhance the throughput. The access point of the WLAN can be authenticated as a relay receiver in cellular system to assist the communication between the base station and the user equipment. In this paper, we model the integrated system as a Receiver Frequency Division Gaussian Relay Channel (RFD-GRC)...
We consider a wireless network in which multiple Service Providers (SPs) compete to provide both macrocell and femtocell services in different bands. There are two types of users: mobile users that can only connect to macrocells, and fixed users that can be served by both macrocells and femtocells. For a given allocation of bandwidths across SPs, we characterize for each SP the optimal bandwidth split...
Fair sharing of bandwidth among tenants in datacenters is important to guarantee prompt execution while providing isolation between different jobs. Existing bandwidth allocation methods lack a concept of a task reflecting the dependency between allocations on links. Moreover, existing approaches do not consider the tenants to be smart individuals and lack understanding of a threat that strategic players...
This paper studies the problem of joint allocation of transmission power and bandwidth in cooperative networks. The goal is to minimize transmission energy consumption in a network with M coordinated transmission points (CTPs) under respective data rate constraints of N mobile terminals (MTs). We propose a joint power and bandwidth allocation scheme for downlink data transmission based on mathematical...
We investigate the coexistence issue between 802.22 and 802.11af networks over the TV White Space (TVWS). The coexistence scheme is vulnerable to selfish attacks. In this paper, the scenario of selfish attack wherein 802.22 subscribers intend to occupy the allocated spectrum selfishly is studied. Consequently, 802.11af users have less opportunity to access the spectrum, which leads to low overall...
This paper presents a novel QoS management algorithm for heterogeneous home networks using the general regression network (GRNN). The algorithm first establishes profiles of the responses of users to various usages of different communication links for different services. By the employment of the GRNN, the prediction of the future responses of a service from a user could then be made based on the profiles...
In public cloud networks, applications of different tenants compete for the shared network bandwidth and thus might suffer from unpredictable performance. It is desirable for cloud providers to offer tenants with bandwidth guarantees. However, it is challenging to precisely abstract tenant bandwidth requirements for their intra- and inter-tenant communications and to achieve work conservation simultaneously...
XG-PON is the next-generation standard for passive optical networks operating at 10Gb/s and TCP is the dominant transport protocol of the Internet. In this paper, we present the first performance evaluation of TCP over XG-PON, considering efficiency, fairness, responsiveness, and convergence. The impact of XG-PON's large delay-bandwidth product and asymmetric bandwidth provision are assessed, together...
This paper proposes an advanced sleep-aware dynamic bandwidth allocation (ASDBA) scheme for 10G-EPONs that aims to maximize ONU energy efficiency with sleep mode. In the proposed ASDBA scheme, both upstream (US) and downstream (DS) transmissions are scheduled in the same transmission slot whose duration is minimized based on both DS and US bandwidth requests and the ONU transceiver is switched off...
Wireless sensor network is a deployment of sensors and the Base station. If base station is not reachable directly for the sensors, an intermediate sink node also deployed as relay node. A sensor senses the environment and forwards the sensed raw data in digital format to the sink hop by hop. Bandwidth allocation is a phenomenon to equally distribute the probability of transmission from sensors to...
In this paper, we have estimated new call block and handoff call drop performances in Cellular WiMAX. Call Admission Control (CAC) is the process of regulating voice communication, particularly in wireless mobile networks. Further it is a fundamental mechanism used for QoS provisioning in a network. It restricts the access to the network based on resource availability in order to prevent network congestion...
Cognitive Radio has become a popular topic of research in recent years. It allocates the under-utilized spectrum dynamically to a group of Secondary Users (SU) which, in turn, enhances the Spectral Utilization considerably. Secondary or Cognitive Users identify suitable idle channels for transmission and utilize it opportunistically, until the Primary User reappears. However, channel conditions in...
The densely deployed Access Points (APs) have overlapping coverage areas. In the hotspot area, a user can usually receive signals of more than ten APs. The signal-based association in IEEE 802.11 may result in significant unbalanced loads among APs. Moreover, diverse user demands on bandwidth further exacerbate the load unbalance. Some APs are too overloaded when multiple high-demand users gather...
