Thorough analysis of Raspberry Pi devices in outdoor/indoor communications in terms of QoS
2020
The proliferation of commercial low-cost Small Board Computers (SBC) devices have allowed the deployment of many Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) focused on different applications, mainly based on monitoring issues. These networks are characterized by a set of these SBCs devices working in a collaborative way where each device is sensing, processing and later sending out the data to the sink. These devices are equipped with power supply, a processing unit and communications capabilities (in particular WiFi), making themselves very interesting to fit in many topologies. However, their performance in terms of communications basically depends on the environment and usually heuristic techniques a…
Broker and Federation Based Cloud Networking Architecture for IaaS and NaaS QoS Guarantee
2016
International audience; Today, the Cloud networking aspect is a critical factor for adopting the Cloud computing approach. The main drawback of Cloud networking consists in the lack of Quality of Service (QoS) guarantee and management in conformance with a corresponding Service Level Agreement (SLA). This paper presents a framework for resource allocation according to an end-to-end SLA established between a Cloud Service User (CSU) and several Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) in a Cloud networking environment. We focus on QoS parameters for Network as a Service (NaaS) and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) services. In addition, we propose algorithms for the best CSPs selection to allocate Vi…
A flexible and reconfigurable 5G networking architecture based on context and content information
2017
The need for massive content delivery is a consolidated trend in mobile communications, and will even increase for next years. Moreover, while 4G maturity and evolution is driven by video contents, next generation (5G) networks will be dominated by heterogeneous data and additional massive diffusion of Internet of Things (IoT). The current network architecture is not sufficient to cope with such traffic, which is heterogeneous in terms of latency and QoS requirements, and variable in space and time. This paper proposes architectural advances to endow the network with the necessary flexibility helping to adapt to these varying traffic needs by providing content and communication services whe…
Middleware with QoS Support to Control Intelligent Systems
2008
This paper presents the architecture of a middleware for control component-based distributed systems. The fundamental idea underlying this architecture is the use of a hierarchical communications structure called "logical namespace tree" and a structured set of control processes interconnected, called "logical sensors graph". This architecture is named frame sensor adapter control (FSA-Ctrl). The aim of FSA-Ctrl is to provide a simple interface to specify the control actions and ensure a communication with some specified QoS parameters restrictions. In this architecture both systems, communication and control, manages the QoS policies. The communication system is based on the data distribut…
Bandwidth allocation and pricing in multimode network
2006
This paper presents adaptive resource sharing model that uses a revenue criterion to allocate network resources in an optimal way. The model ensures QoS requirements of data flows and, at the same time, maximizes the total revenue by adjusting parameters of the underlying scheduler. Besides, the adaptive model eliminates the need to find the optimal static weight values because they are calculated dynamically. The simulation consists of several cases that analyse the model and the way it provides the required QoS guarantees. The simulation reveals that the installation of the adaptive model increases the total revenue and ensures the QoS requirements for all service classes.
Congestion Avoidance Using DYnamic COdec MAnagement: A solution for ISP
2005
The large diffusion of VoIP is an essential key for the success of emerging Internet service providers. These ISPs conflict with the interests of historical and predominant network maintainers which often control the network infrastructure and telephone services. To win this competition, emerging ISPs have to adopt strategic QoS solutions which will capture the attention of network users and phone clients. This paper presents a solution which is able to obtain the same performance of a 64 Kbps channel reducing the costs for over-provisioning network bandwidth. DyCoMa is a mechanism studied for VoIP applications in network with a limited bandwidth for multimedia services. It works preventing…
User-cell association in heterogenous small cell networks: A context-aware approach
2015
Deploying small cells to complement the traditional cellular networks is foreseen as a major feature of the next generation of wireless networks. In this paper, a novel approach for addressing the cell association problem in heterogenous small cell networks is proposed. The presented approach exploits different types of information extracted from the user devices and environment to improve the way in which users are assigned to their serving small cell base stations (SBSs). We formulate the problem within the framework of matching theory, where the players, namely the users and SBSs, have interdependent preferences over the members of the opposite set. We also utilize the fuzzy synthetic ev…
Model and optimal Call Admission Policy in Cellular Mobile Networks
2000
For current cellular networks, two important Quality of Service (QoS) measures are the fractions of new and handoff calls that are blocked due to unavailability of channels. Based on these QoS measures, we propose a queuing network model with impatient users for handoff and new calls in cellular mobile networks. The number of simultaneous calls, that can be supported, is modeled by C identical servers with exponentially distributed session duration for each one of them. Priority is given to handoffs over new calls. We use for that a Guard Channel policy that reserves a set of CH channels for handoff calls, new calls being served at their arrival if there are more than CH available channels.…
<title>Statistical bandwidth allocation for multiservice networks</title>
2002
Multiservice networks will carry di erent kinds of applications in the near future. Bandwidth requirements change rapidly, and the network resource management will play an important role to guarantee the use of the limited resources in the most eAEcient way. We approach the channel capacity allocation problem by developing an SLA (Service Level Agreement) based channel allocation method. In our model, the channel may be wired or wireless, so this method can be adapted in multi-technique networks. The algorithm allocates resources to several di erent service classes via several di erent capacity routes. Service provider perfroms optimization by allocating data rate in such a way that the sat…
VoiP performance analysis in IEEE802.16 networks
2012
WiMAX, as known as IEEE standard 802.16, is a wide range broadband wireless access network which has a significant good support for the quality of service. According to IEEE standard 802.16e WiMAX has support also for mobility. One of the key advantages of the WiMAX network is the possibility to assign QoS parameters as connection based. A good example of traffic type having strict QoS demands is VoIP. VoIP will probably be a killer application in the future's broadband wireless networks because of its cost efficiency compared to circuit switched networks. In this paper, we analyze by extensive simulations how QoS is applied per connection, especially for the VoIP connection.
