장소와 시간에 무관하게 누구와도 하나의 단말기로 멀티미디어 통신을 할 수 있게 하기 위한 이동통신 시스템이 단일표준으로 되지 못하고 복수표준으로 진행됨에 따라 이종의 접속망들로 구성되는 융합망이 불가피하게 되었다. 이러한 융합망 환경에서는 멀티미디어 서비스의 지속성을 유지하기 위한 QoS 보장 방안이 필수적이다. 본 논문에서는 멀티미디어 세션의 지연이나 손실 등을 지속적으로 관찰하고 계약된 SLA 의 QoS 기준 만족 여부를 평가하고 이를 바탕으로 이종 망 내에서의 QoS 적응 및 조정을 수행함으써 멀티미디어 서비스의 QoS 를 유지하는 방안을 제안한다.

In this paper, we present the design and implementation of an agent knowledge and QoS tuning methodology to improve the flexibility of agent-based flexible video-conference system. In order to improve the flexibility during video-conferencing, we propose a new T-INTER(Tuning-INTER) architecture of knowledge part in video-conference manager (VCM) agent in which an automatic QoS parameter tuning method is imbedded. The flexible video-conference system structured based on the proposed architecture can cope with the changes in service quality required by users. The VCM agent cooperates with other agents by protocols and executes the automatic QoS parameter tuning task whenever needed. By the tuned parameters, the system is able to flexibly cope with the internal or external changes and the burden of users can be decreased. In the experimental section, it is shown that our proposed system outperforms the existing system.

With the rapid development of Web Service technology, the number of Web Service providers which provide same Web Services are increasing. As a result, the QoS elements become more and more important factors for Web Service matchmaking. But, most of previous research efforts do not consider various QoS elements including Service-specific QoS elements during the matchmaking process. In this paper, we propose a Web Service matchmaking scheme which allow dynamic QoS adaptation using the RSS technique. We first classify various QoS elements and describe an extensible QoS model. We then explain a matchmaking scheme, which can utilize the proposed QoS elements. We also show how to dynamically add user-specific QoS elements using the RSS mechanism, thus improving the correctness of web service matchmaking process. Finally, we implemented the proposed schemes and showed the usefulness of our methods through some experiments.

In wireless networking environments, supporting guaranteed quality of service to mobile hosts is difficult due to the facts that wireless networks have limited bandwidth and mobile hosts frequently move in and out of cells. In spite of the characteristics of wireless communications, the quality of some types of services, i.e., real-time services, must be guaranteed at a certain level. When a mobile host moves into another cell, service rates for mobile hosts in wireless networks may be adjusted since wireless networks have limited bandwidths. In this paper, we propose two resource allocation algorithms in wireless mobile networks, using quality of service (QoS) specifications. For efficient use of resources of wireless networks, the proposed algorithms dynamically allocate rates of flows in proportion to QoS with limited resources.

This paper proposes a traffic-aware TXOP adjustment algorithm for the IEEE 802.11e networks. In the proposed algorithm the access point (AP) monitors the network traffics periodically and adjusts the TXOP value of the non-QoS traffic in order to improve the network throughput while maintaining the QoS of video and voice applications. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms the legacy IEEE 802.11e in terms of the throughput and the fairness.

WPANs are formed in relatively small area and a PNC that serves as a central control device plays an important role in the operation and organization of a piconet. Typical applications of WPANs are security system and health monitoring system. In these type of systems, guaranteeing realtime service is very important, and communications cannot take place when the PNC malfunctions. Thus, in this situation, it is necessary to elect a new PNC as soon as possible. For this reason, we propose distributed PNC election scheme that considers not only QoS support but also network connectivity to avoid possible network partition. Simulation results show proposed mechanism can select PNC with guaranteeing QoS and connectivity for a limited period.

Considering QoS only considering real-time multimedia service, it is possible to adjust the number of terminals and ensure them appropriately, but this study considers complex services considering real-time multimedia service and general data service. Since the amount of physical network resources is limited, the guarantee of the desired QoS can not be achieved unless the appropriate CAC is done. However, given the traffic profile and QoS spec of the entire network resource and the current service being provided, and the traffic profile and QoS spec of the newly requested service, it is quite difficult to determine exactly whether the new service request is acceptable from this. To do this, it is necessary to study in various directions from mathematical analysis to various simulations and statistical research based on data obtained from actual network operation.

In this paper, we present the integrated network architecture for supporting mobile IP in third generation mobile communication networks, and propose the end-to-end QoS control mechanisms of DiffServ and QoS control functions of each network element in the proposed network. First, the QoS supporting schemes of IMT-2000 are described. Second, the necessities of integrating the networks are discussed and the integrated architecture are proposed. Third, the mapping between wireless channels and DiffServ classes are presented. Finally, the end-to-end QoS control mechanisms are proposed. We also analyze the link level protocols with QoS provisioning for mobile multimedia assuming that the system support voice and data traffic simultaneously. In case of data traffic, the delay and throughput of SREJ ARQ and Type-1 Hybrid ARQ scheme are compared, and In case of voice traffic, the packet loss rate of BCH coding is analyzed according to the varying data traffic loads. The results indicate that the adaptive link level protocols are efficient to meet the QoS requirements while the complexities are increased.

인터넷을 기반으로 한 고품질 오디오 스트리밍 서비스를 위하여 오디오 데이터 전송 시 발생되는 품질의 열화를 극복하여 고품질의 오디오 재생이 가능한 QoS 보장기법을 제안한다. 오디오 데이터는 연속성과 시간제약성을 가지고 있기 때문에 전송 시 통신망의 상황에 따라 그 재생품질이 결정된다. 이때 필요한 QoS 보장 기법으로 통신망의 상황에 따라 동적으로 전송률을 가변시키고 ARQ에 의한 재전송 방식과 동적 버퍼 제어기법을 복합적으로 적용하는 기법을 보인다. 클라이언트 내의 오디오 데이터 버퍼를 현재 망 상황에 따라 제어함으로서 재전송에 필요한 시간을 확보하고, 전송률도 함께 연동 조정하여 재전송에 따른 전송률 저하 현상을 방지한다. 동적인 클라이언트 버퍼/전송률 제어에 필요한 파라미터는 현재 통신망에서의 UDP 패킷 에러율과 왕복시간 이다. 실제 인터넷 환경에서 위 복합적 QoS 보장기법을 적용하여 고품질로 재생되는 오디오 스트리밍 서비스의 성능을 확인하였다.
