This paper provides a survey of transport protocols and congestion control mechanisms that are designed to have a smaller bandwidth and/or delay impact on standard TCP than standard TCP itself when they share a bottleneck with it. Such protocols and mechanisms provide what is sometimes called a less-than-best-effort or lower than best-effort service. To a user, such a service can, for instance, be...
Congestion control is vital in the streaming of a video sequence or clip, as network traffic varies unpredictably requiring constant adjustment of the transmission rate. Standard TCP-Friendly Rate Control (TFRC) wastes bandwidth and may react to congestion only when packet loss has already occurred. This paper presents a unicast transport protocol named RRB-SIMD for video streaming over the Internet,...
With the growth of bandwidth adaptive applications in wireless and mobile networks with different QoS requirements, there is an urgent need for an adaptive bandwidth management scheme which makes use of the flexible bandwidth requirements of these new traffic classes. In this paper, a Call Admission Control (CAC) strategy is proposed based on full consideration of the adaptivity of multimedia services...
Provisioning of guaranteed Quality of Service (QoS) in next generation cellular networks has become a great challenge specially, when the wireless access networks have been used to deliver the multimedia services. Call Admission Control (CAC) is one of the most important components of Radio Resource Management (RRM) that affects the provided bandwidth utilization efficiency and QoS guarantees. In...
EMKC is an explicit congestion control algorithm which is designed for high bandwidth delay product (BDP) networks. Although delay-independence is an appealing characteristic, the EMKC system developed in exhibits undesirable equilibrium properties and slow fairness convergence behavior. To overcome these drawbacks, we propose a new method called AEMKC (Advanced Exponential Max-Min Kelly Control)...
In this paper we present a new admission control (AC) for IEEE 802.16. The AC aims to accept new connections according to the negotiated service class (UGS, rtPS, nrTPS, and BE). To achieve this goal we propose to use the token bucket concept that provide QoS for real time traffics without degrading the QoS of non real time traffic. To show the benefit of the proposed AC, an analytical model based...
The paper presents the comparative study and analysis of buffering in Goback2 network. The performance at the destination node by applying different buffering capacities at the routers is demonstrated. The results using NS2 simulator are produced. It can be concluded that the selection of appropriate type of buffering helps in controlling the congestion and the packet drops at the link node.
KNXnet/IP system allows integration of different KNX networks through an IP network, used as fast backbone. Integration is realised by a particular device called KNXnet/IP Router. Due to the very limited transmission speeds foreseen for the KNX networks, the KNXnet/IP router may represent a bottleneck in routing telegrams coming from the IP network whose destination is a KNX device located in the...
An accurate estimation of the available bandwidth of mesh nodes is the essential prerequisite of admission control mechanism, which provides QoS assurance in wireless mesh networks. Existing bandwidth estimation schemes do not accurately consider the influence of parallel transmission due to spatial reuse and act overly conservative. In this study, we proposed an accurate bandwidth estimation scheme,...
A learning automata (LA) is an automaton that interacts with a random environment, having as its goal the task of learning the optimal action based on its acquired experience. here, we present a ERQD algorithm for congestion avoidance in wired networks. The main aim of this algorithm is to optimize the value of the average size of the queue used for congestion avoidance and to consequently reduce...
We have already proposed the framework of autonomous decentralized control based on local-interaction as a novel control mechanism for communication networks. This framework is based on the relation between local interaction and the solution yielded by a partial differential equation. In this framework, the state of the complete system is controlled by appropriately designing the autonomous operation...
DCCP is proposed to replace UDP for its ability of congestion control while maintaining its promptness by ignoring lost packets as UDP does. The network would suffer less congestion. However, whether the applications that switch from UDP to DCCP can maintain their needed performance or not is a big question. This paper investigates this problem by evaluating DCCP based VoIP vs. a variety of TCPs using...
Admission control plays an important role in providing Quality of Service (QoS) guarantees for wireless mesh networks (WMNs). Multipath routing can improve network performance in reliability and load balancing. However, when the multipath routing are adopted in 802.11-based WMNs, the transmission with bandwidth assurance is facing rigorous challenges. In this paper, a novel joint design of multipath...
This paper proposes a learning approach to solve adaptive Connection Admission Control (CAC) schemes in future wireless networks. Real time connections (that require lower delay bounds than non-real-time) are subdivided into hard realtime (requiring constant bandwidth capacity) or adaptive (that have flexible bandwidth requirements). The CAC for such a mix of traffic types is a complex constraint...
Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) have been an important research topic for the last years, playing a crucial role within the fast growing sector of mobile communications. At the same time, video applications over mobile devices are becoming widely used by nowadays mobile clients, where the quality in the transmission of such contents will determine the success of these applications in the future. Therefore,...
Five service types with different priorities are defined to meet the QoS needs for different users, there are UGS, ertPS, rtPS, nrtPS, and BE on the IEEE 802.16 network. First, SS has to send connection request to BS before it is ready to transmit data. Then, SS can be allowed to transmit data white holding the allocated bandwidth from BS. Actually, BS utilizes CAC to identify whether enough bandwidth...
When a mobile host transmitting real-time video traffic using DCCP CCID3 moves between two wireless LAN access points with different congestion situations, it is difficult to quickly change the transmission rate according to the changes of communication environment because controlling the sending rate depends on feedback information. To solve this problem, we recently proposed a predictive rate control...
In order to urge an optical TDMA network to be recommended as a LAN/MAN protocol, traffic-control approaches capable of improving performance on optical TDMA networks must be developed. This paper explores how to apply the unused bandwidth to enhance the performance of a middle-load TDMA network. The tight and loose traffic-control approaches are used to explore how to improve performance. The loose...
Many studies have shown that Vegas TCP has a better throughput and stability than Reno TCP in homogeneous networks with a single TCP flavor, but performs less well in heterogeneous networks in which two TCP flavors coexist. The progressive behavior of Reno TCP and the conservative behavior of Vegas TCP cause a bias when they are used simultaneously, and thus Vegas TCP fails to obtain a fair share...
This work presents a study of a SIP-based IP telephony system in terms of Quality of Service (QoS) and admission probability. The system is designed for an enterprise with offices in different countries. A software IP PBX maintains the dial plan, and SIP proxies are used in order to implement Call Admission Control (CAC) and to allow the sharing of the gateways' lines. The system is implemented in...
