ATM 망에서 제공되고 있는 음성, 영상, 데이터와 같은 다양한 서비스는 사용자의 만족도를 수용할 수 있어야 한다는 것을 전제조건으로 한다. 이러한 기본적인 요구사항을 충족시키기 위해서는 노드대 노드간의 자원관리와 오류제어 및 다양한 트래픽의 특성을 고려한 전송 순서의 결정에 해당하는 스케줄링 방법이 요구되어 진다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 기술 요소 중에서 트래픽 설정 단계에서 제공되는 트래픽 특성 및 QoS(Quality of Service) 정보를 바탕으로 교환 노드에서 발생되는 전달 지연 시간에 적응적인 스케줄링 방식을 제시하였다. 이 방식은 멀티미디어 서비스와 같이 혼합된 트래픽 특성을 갖는 구조에서 트래픽 구성비율에 따라 적용되는 지연 여유치를 매우 융통성 있고 효과적으로 조절할 수 있다. 성능분석을 위하여 기존의 스케줄링 방식인 WFQ (Weighted Fair Queueing) 방식과 제안한 스케줄링 방식의 수학적인 분석을 수행하였으며 이 두 방식의 결과식을 비교하여 교환노드에서의 평균 지연과 셀 처리에 관한 성능을 분석하였다. 그리고 수학적 분석에 대한 검증으로는 Simulation tool ARENA 3.0을 이용하여 제안한 알고리즘의 Worst case와 기존의 알고리즘의 성능을 비교하였다.

In a packet switching network, congestion is unavoidable and affects the quality of real-time traffic with such problems as delay and packet loss. Packet fair queuing (PFQ) algorithms are well-known solutions for quality-of-service (QoS) guarantee by packet scheduling. Our approach is different from previous algorithms in that it uses hardware time achieved by sampling a counter triggered by a periodic clock signal. This clock signal can be provided to all the modules of a routing system to get synchronization. In this architecture, a variant of the PFQ algorithm, called digitized delay queuing (DDQ), can be distributed on many line interface modules. We derive the delay bounds in a single processor system and in a distributed architecture. The definition of traffic contribution improves the simplicity of the mathematical models. The effect of different time between modules in a distributed architecture is the key idea for understanding the delay behavior of a routing system. The number of bins required for the DDQ algorithm is also derived to make the system configuration clear. The analytical models developed in this paper form the basis of improvement and application to a combined input and output queuing (CIOQ) router architecture for a higher speed QoS network.

This paper presents a terminal-assisted frame-based packet reservation multiple access (TAF-PRMA) protocol, which optimizes random access control between heterogeneous traffic aiming at more efficient voice/data integrated services in dynamic reservation TDMA-based broadband access networks. In order to achieve a differentiated quality-of-service (QoS) guarantee for individual service plus maximal system resource utilization, TAF-PRMA independently controls the random access parameters such as the lengths of the access regions dedicated to respective service traffic and the corresponding permission probabilities, on a frame-by-frame basis. In addition, we have adopted a terminal-assisted random access mechanism where the voice terminal readjusts a global permission probability from the central controller in order to handle the 'fair access' issue resulting from distributed queuing problems inherent in the access network. Our extensive simulation results indicate that TAF-PRMA achieves significant improvements in terms of voice capacity, delay, and fairness over most of the existing medium access control (MAC) schemes for integrated services.

Due to the unpredictable nature of channel availability, carrying delay-sensitive traffic in cognitive radio networks (CRNs) is very challenging. Spectrum leasing of radio resources has been proposed in the so called coordinated CRNs to improve the quality of service (QoS) experienced by secondary users (SUs). In this paper, the performance of coordinated CRNs under fixed-rate with hard-delay-constraints traffic is analyzed. For the adequate and fair performance comparison, call admission control strategies with fractional channel reservation to prioritize ongoing secondary calls over new ones are considered. Maximum Erlang capacity is obtained by optimizing the number of reserved channels. Numerical results reveal that system performance strongly depends on the value of the mean secondary service time relative to the mean primary service time. Additionally, numerical results show that, in CRNs without spectrum leasing, there exists a critical utilization factor of the primary resources from which it is not longer possible to guarantee the required QoS of SUs and, therefore, services with hard delay constraints cannot be even supported in CRNs. Thus, spectrum leasing can be essential for CRN operators to provide the QoS demanded by fixed-rate applications with hard delay constraints. Finally, the cost per capacity Erlang as function of both the utilization factor of the primary resources and the maximum allowed number of simultaneously rented channels is evaluated.

무선 네트워크의 급격한 성장으로 기존의 전자우편, 멀티미디어 등의 응용을 이동 컴퓨팅 환경에서 보다 효과적으로 지원해야 할 필요성이 증대되었다. 기존 유선 네트워크 환경에서 사용자의 독립적 서비스 보장과 요구 비율에 따른 자원의 공정한 배분을 위해서 Fair Queueing 기법이 제안되었다. 이 Fair Queueing 기법을 무선 네트워크에 적용하려는 연구가 진행되고 있으나 무선 미디어 자원의 빈약성과 사용자 이동에 따른 오류 발생 가능성 등으로 인해 아직까지 체계적인 기술은 미비한 형편이다. 본 논문에서는 기존 Fair Queueing 기법에서 각 세션의 가중치를 조절하여 무선 네트워크 환경에서 사용자의 다양한 서비스 품질(QoS; Queueing of Service)을 지원하고 오류 발생시 급격한 서비스 품질 저하를 방지하는 패킷 서비스 기법을 제시하고 그 성능을 분석한다.

Aerial base stations (ABSs) seem promising to enhance the coverage and capacity of fifth-generation and upcoming networks. With the flexible mobility of ABSs, they can be positioned in air to maximize the number of users served with a guaranteed quality of service (QoS). However, ABSs may be overloaded or underutilized given inefficient placement, and user association has not been well addressed. Hence, we propose a three-dimensional ABS placement scheme with a delay-QoS-driven user association to balance loading among ABSs. First, a load balancing utility function is designed based on proportional fairness. Then, an optimization problem for joint ABS placement and user association is formulated to maximize the utility function subject to statistical delay QoS requirements and ABS collision avoidance constraints. To solve this problem, we introduce an efficient modified gray wolf optimizer for ABS placement with a greedy user association strategy. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed scheme outperforms baselines in terms of load balancing and delay QoS provisioning.

When the bandwidth resources in a packet-switched network are shared among sessions by MAX-MIN flow control each session is required to transmit its data into the network subject to the MAX-MIN fair rate which is solely determined by network loadings. This passive behavior of sessions if fact can cause seri-ous QoS(Quality of Service) degradation particularly for real-time multimedia sessions such as video since the rate allocated by the network can mismatch with what is demanded by each session for its QoS. In order to alleviate this problem we extend the concept of MAX-MIN fair bandwidth allocations as follows: Individual bandwidth demands are guaranteed if the network can accommodate them and only the residual network band-width is shared in the MAX-MIN fair sense. On the other hand if sum of the individual bandwidth demands exceeds the network capacity the shortage of the bandwidth is shared by all the sessions by reducing each bandwidth guarantee by the MAX-MIN fair division of the shortage. we present a novel flow control algorithm to achieve this extended MAX-MIN fairness and show that this algorithm can be implemented by the existing ATM ABR service protocol with minor changes. We not only analyze the steady state asymptotic stability and convergence rate of the algorithm by appealing to control theories but also verify its practical performance through simulations in a variety of network scenarios.
