Mobile edge cloud has been increasingly concerned by researchers due to its closer distance to mobile users than the traditional cloud on Internet. Offloading computations from mobile devices to the nearby edge cloud is an effective technique to accelerate the applications and/or save energy on the mobile devices. However, the mobile edge cloud usually has limited computation resources and constrained...
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...
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...
In this paper, we designed, implemented, and evaluated the performance of a Packet-in packet buffer system in an SDN bare metal commodity switch and Open vSwitch. In our approach, only the first packet of a new flow needs to be sent to the SDN controller via a Packet-in packet and all subsequent packets can be temporarily stored in the Packet-in packet buffer system until the arrival of the flow rule...
Nowadays, many emerging technologies, such as Augmented and Virtual reality, require extremely high-rate data transmissions. This imposes an increasing demand on the network throughput, which currently surpasses the capabilities of commercially available wireless communication systems. To address this constraint, some companies are considering the implementation of high-throughput wired technologies,...
Network coding has shown the promise of significance throughput improvement. In this paper, we study the throughput of two-hop wireless network coding and explore how the maxi-mum throughput can be achieved under a random medium access scheme. In this paper, the problem of the performance of COPE type network coding under dual source coding architecture is solved. An Embedded Markov Chain Model for...
We found that directly employing MPTCP in WiFi network might adversely affect the overall network performance. The connecting MPTCP client achieves little bandwidth advantage through redundant paths of weak signal strength. However, it impairs the overall network performance by unintentionally reducing the throughput available to other clients sharing that access point in much greater extent. In this...
Datacenters should provide bandwidth guarantees to tenants for performance predictability. Ideally, this process should attain three important characteristics: work conservation, fairness, and simplicity. The first one indicates that tenants can utilize unused bandwidths effectively without harming the bandwidth guarantee. The second one means that tenants share the unused bandwidth following a certain...
Telecom operators are racing towards upgrading their facilities and broadband services in order to meet the highly challenging 5G operational framework in dense urban landscapes. The oversubscribed sub-6 GHz wireless band is lacking the necessary bandwidth to support the envisioned 5G data rates, suggesting the transition to mm-wave bands as the only viable scenario. In conjunction with the cell densification...
Multi-path allocation has been proposed as a simple way to achieve traffic protection in different networking domains. In this work dual-path allocation is proposed for Elastic Optical Networks (EON) assuming dynamic offered traffic, and its performance is quantified by simulation. Indeed, dual-path allocation is compared with partial dedicated path protection assuming different scenarios. In addition...
Single-source HTTP Adaptive Streaming protocols (HAS), such as MPEG-DASH, have become the de-facto solutions to deliver video over the Internet. By avoiding buffer stalling events that are mainly caused by the lack of throughput at client or at server side, HAS protocols increase end-user's Quality of Experience (QoE). We propose to extend HAS capabilities to a pragmatic DASH-compliant Multiple-Source...
Multidimensional approach based on employment of both spatial and spectral modes in optical access networks can enable not only increase in the network throughput, but also enhance its dynamic and elastic behavior through spectral-spatial interworking and employment of an advanced software defined (SDN) networking model. In this paper we introduce the concept of virtual bandwidth exchange among end-users...
In this paper, we propose a modeling approach for a Content-Centric Networking (CCN) network by considering the dynamics of its transport layer protocol. Transport layer protocols for CCN have mainly been investigated through simulation experiments because CCN itself is a complicated network architecture compared with IP, and the complex interaction between CCN caching and the behavior of a transport...
In order to realise 5G communication, massive regulations and standards are proposed and Heterogeneous Networks (HetNets) have become one popular means since it can utilise the existing infrastructure. The focus of 5G has changed from the last generation from operator centric services to user centric services. For the purpose of achieving Quality of user Experience (QoE) supported 5G, network selection...
Memory interference is a critical impediment to system performance in CMP systems. To address this problem, we first propose a Dynamically Proportional Bandwidth Throttling policy (DPBT), which dynamically throttles back memory-intensive applications based on their memory access behavior. DPBT achieves a more balance memory bandwidth partitioning. Moreover, we improve the previous memory channel partitioning...
This paper focuses on the wireless monitoring sensor networks (WMSNs), where provide relay connectivity for the low capacity and power devices to monitor or sense the events in a monitoring area. In this paper, we propose the relay OFDMA resource allocation methods of coloring resource allocation, static resource allocation and dynamic resource allocation to improve the finite resource of time and...
Recently, the concept of heterogeneous networks (HetNets) has been proposed as an alternative solution to provide higher coverage and capacity for cellular networks. In HetNets concept, many of small base stations (SBSs) are employed in the existing cell of macro base stations (MBSs) to increase the coverage and system capacity. However, the employment of many SBSs in the existing macro cells would...
The paper focuses on the free products used to setup an Software-Defined Network by emulation and real experimentation. Because SDN networking is a challenging research area, objective of this paper is to provide assistance to researchers wishing to evaluate their SDN work in an experimental setting. In this paper, two collections of open source OpenFlow switches; Open vSwitch (OVS) and ofsoftswitch13...
Inter-domain link congestion can be caused by either under-provision or peer disputes. TSLP and M-Lab are two representative network-tomographic methods to detect congestion on inter-domain links. In this work, we propose a performancecost framework to evaluate and compare the two methods via a simulator built atop NS-3. Via detailed simulations, we obtained some insights on the two approaches and...
In this paper, we provide joint subcarrier assignment and power allocation schemes for quality- of-service (QoS)-constrained energy-efficiency (EE) optimization in the downlink of an orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA)-based two-tier heterogeneous cellular network (HCN). Considering underlay transmission, where spectrum- efficiency (SE) is fully exploited, the EE solution involves...
