This paper proposes a policy-based quality of service (QoS) management framework for adaptive routing decisions. We present an approach considering interior gateway protocol (IGP) for path discovery mechanisms and QoS-aware policies for configuring the network elements. The integration of the aforementioned modules into this policy-based network management (PBNM) system is demonstrated by conducting experiments in a real environment, the hellenic public administration network SYZEFXIS. These experiments combine different traffic conditioning mechanisms through event detectors, consider IP service level agreement mechanisms that interoperate with the PBNM system and analyze the enforcement of IGP and QoS policies. Finally, validation and measurement tools are used to prove the efficiency of this framework. It is shown that this architecture offers significantly increased performance and learning capabilities, while the PBNM system achieves adaptive QoS routing through automated configuration considering the avoidance of suboptimal routing issues or under-performance conditions of the network entities.

Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) and Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) have been developed independently. Then, many researchers have studied UMTS-WLAN interworking architecture for the efficiency. However, the transmission capacity difference of two networks causes the transmission quality degradation. Therefore, this paper proposes a UMTS-WLAN interworking architecture for Quality of Service (QoS). The proposed architecture is based on tight coupling and dynamically guarantees QoS by the mobility prediction method. The proposed architecture is simulated by ns-2. Performance experimental results show that the proposed architecture reduces the handover dropping probability comparing with the existing method and enhances the amount of receiving packets comparing with the method without guaranteeing QoS.

In this paper, we proposed a mobile ad hoc routing protocol based on AODV(Ad hoc On demand Distance Vector) with QoS(Quality of Service) support and evaluated the performance through simulation. The waste of communication resources is reduced by establishing the shortest route suitable to QoS support, considering in advance the usable communication resources at each node. For performance evaluation, we analyzed the average data reception rate, considering the node mobility and the number of best effort/QoS data flows. We found that in the mobile Ad Hoc networks the QoS service for some specific data flows increased the average data reception rate for the QoS data flows.

Diverse multimedia services will be deployed at hand on 3G-and-beyond multi-service CDMA systems in order to satisfy different quality of service (QoS) according to traffic types. In order to use appropriate resources efficiently the call admission control (CAC) as a major resource control mechanism needs to be used to take care of efficient utilization of limited resources. In this paper, we propose a QoS-aware CAC (QCAC) that is enabled to provide service fairness and service differentiation in accordance with priority order and that applies the different thresholds in received power considering different QoS requirements such as different bit error rates (BER) when adopting total received power as the ceil load estimation. The proposed QCAC calculates the different thresholds of the different traffic types based on different required BER applies it for admission policy, and can get service fairness and differentiation in terms of call dropping probability as a main performance metric. The QCAC is aware of the QoS requirement per traffic type and allows admission discrimination according to traffic types in order to minimize the probability of QoS violation. Also the CAC needs to consider the resource allocation schemes such as complete sharing (CS), complete partitioning (CP), and priority sharing(PS) in order to provide fairness and service differentiation among traffic types. Among them, PS is closely related with the proposed QCAC having differently calculated threshold per each traffic type according to traffic priority orders.

In this paper we propose a QoS policy, which is based on both DSCP and SPQ, appropriate to TPS users on optical subscriber network. Then we experiment and evaluate QoS policy through the test bed which emulates real optical subscriber network. In order to perform effective and real experiment on test bed we make test traffic equivalent to 400 TPS users and give it to test bed. The experimental result shows that no packet loss in real time service traffic such as voice, IPTV occurs during more than 4 hours. We think that our proposed QoS policy is a proper method which guarantees the service quality of real time services on optical subscriber network.

Recently there are increasing needs for Internet and various kinds of contents. These traffics for various contents need more amount of data to provide high-quality information and require various QoS depending on the characteristics of contents. However, current Internet service supports BE (Best Effort) service only, therefore IntServ (Integrated Service) scheme and DiffServ (Differentiated Service) scheme are represented to support QoS in IP layer. This paper describes new scheme that provides QoS taking into account the traffic characteristics over Mobile IPv6 network based on IEEE 802.11e by decreasing signal process time using traffic class of DiffServ and MAC and evaluates the performance through computer simulation.

This paper focuses on the scheduling problem with the objective of maximizing system throughput, while guaranteeing long-term quality of service (QoS) constraints for non-realtime data users and short-term QoS constraints for realtime multimedia users in multiclass service high-speed uplink packet access (HSUPA) systems. After studying the feasible rate region for multiclass service HSUPA systems, we formulate this scheduling problem and propose a multi-constraints HSUPA opportunistic scheduling (MHOS) algorithm to solve this problem. The MHOS algorithm selects the optimal subset of users for transmission at each time slot to maximize system throughput, while guaranteeing the different constraints. The selection is made according to channel condition, feasible rate region, and user weights, which are adjusted by stochastic approximation algorithms to guarantee the different QoS constraints at different time scales. Simulation results show that the proposed MHOS algorithm guarantees QoS constraints, and achieves high system throughput.

인터넷은, 전화로 대변되는 과거의 정보통신 서비스와는 달리 사회 전반에 막대한 영향력을 행사하는 서비스로 발전하였다. 인터넷에 대한 의존도는 향후 모든 정보통신서비스가 인터넷을 기반으로 제공되는 All-IP 디지털 컨버전스 시대에 더욱 더 심화될 것이다. 이 경우 오늘날의 인터넷보다도 QoS(Quality of Service)에 관한 이슈가 더욱 중요해질 것은 자명하다. 이러한 배경에서 ITU(International Telecommunication Union)나 IETF(Internet Engineering Task Force)등의 국제표준화 기구에서 차세대 인터넷 (Next Generation Network, NGN)에 대한 QoS 문제를 연구하고 있다. 그러나 이들 국제기구는 주로 기술공학적인 측면에서 QoS 문제에 접근하고 있어서 현실적으로 완전한 대안을 제공하지는 못하고 있다. 즉, 인터넷 산업의 특성상 사업자간 끊김없는 연동(seamless inter-operations)과 협력이 필수적인데, 이는 기술공학적 측면보다도 비즈니스 및 정책적 관점에서 다루어져야 되기 때문이다. 통신 사업자 및 벤더(vendor)의 글로벌 컨소시엄으로 출발한 TMF(TeleManagement Forum)나 QuEST Forum 등의 역할이 중요해지는 이유가 여기에 있다. 이미 이들 단체는 사업자간 합의에 의해 자발적으로 구축한 NGOSS 및 TL9000 인증시스템을 바탕으로, 망사업자를 비롯한 서비스공급자 및 벤더 등과의 원활한 협력관계를 구축하는 글로벌 de facto 표준을 마련한 바 있다. 본 연구에서는 QoS 보장을 목표로 하는 차세대 인터넷(NGN)의 현실적 성공 가능성을 높이기 위한 글로벌 표준화 노력을 소개하고 이들을 비교/검토한다. 특히, ITU 및 IETF 등의 NGN 개발계획을 비즈니스/정책점 관점에서 보완할 수 있는 TMF와 QuEST Forum의 접근법을 고찰하여, All-IP 컨버전스 환경에서의 QoS 이슈에 시사하는 바를 살펴본다.
