The paper studies the Quality of Service(QoS) concept in Broadband Integrated Services Digital Network (B-ISDN). Guaranteeing the QoS requirements indistributed multimedia systems and networks is fundamentally an end-to-end issus, that is, from application to application. An important issue in the QoS translation between the application-level QoS and network-level QoS is that the translation depends not only on the translation between system resources and network resources, but also on the translation between thelayered protocol and the access procedures. In this paepr, we propose a methodology for translating the AAL(ATM Adaptation Layer) QoS parameters into the ATM layer QoS parameters in end-systems. The QoS parameters in the ATM layer and AAL are defined, and we concentrate on the translation from the AAL to the ATM layer, because the AAL must be designed to be service dependent and specific. As an example, we concentrate on the constant bit rate(CBR) guaranteed real-time service using AAL1 protocol.

In this paper, we study the problem of how to design a medical-grade wireless local area network (WLAN) for healthcare facilities. First, unlike the IEEE 802.11e MAC, which categorizes traffic primarily by their delay constraints, we prioritize medical applications according to their medical urgency. Second, we propose a mechanism that can guarantee absolute priority to each traffic category, which is critical for medical-grade quality of service (QoS), while the conventional 802.11e MAC only provides relative priority to each traffic category. Based on absolute priority, we focus on the performance of real-time patient monitoring applications, and derive the optimal contention window size that can significantly improve the throughput performance. Finally, for proper performance evaluation from a medical viewpoint, we introduce the weighted diagnostic distortion (WDD) as a medical QoS metric to effectively measure the medical diagnosability by extracting the main diagnostic features of medical signal. Our simulation result shows that the proposed mechanism, together with medical categorization using absolute priority, can significantly improve the medical-grade QoS performance over the conventional IEEE 802.11e MAC.

In this paper, we present a decentralized algorithm to find minimum cost quality of service (QoS) flow subgraphs in network coded multicast schemes. The main objective is to find minimum cost subgraphs that also satisfy user-specified QoS constraints, specifically with respect to rate and delay demands. We consider networks with multiple multicast sessions. Although earlier network coding algorithms in this area have demonstrated performance improvements in terms of QoS parameters, the proposed QoS network coding approach provides a framework that guarantees QoS constraints are actually met over the network.

IEEE 802.15.4 is a standard for LWPAN based on TDMA. IEEE 802.15.4 has not been used widely because of restrictions on the QoS, scalability, and reliability. IEEE 802.15.4 utilizes GTS for one-hop QoS transmission. However GTS is not an effective method to satisfy QoS in multi-hop environments. Currently IEEE 802.15.4e, an extended version of IEEE 802.15.4 MAC sub-layer, is being developed to satisfy more diverse performance requirements than IEEE 802.15.4. IEEE 802.15.4e provides muti-hop QoS transmission functionality and uses multiple frequency channels. In this paper, a multi-channel TDMA scheduling scheme is proposed to satisfy end-to-end transmission delay in IEEE 802.15.4e. The performance of the proposed scheme is evaluated using simulation.

PCF(Point Coordination Function) of IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol is an access method oat generally has better performance under high offered load conditions. And it is also appropriate for sending data of time-limited applications. In this paper we consider the QoS(Quality of Service) enhancement method according to the change of nodes in the IEEE 802.11 WLAN. We assume that the un consists or QoS nodes and non-QoS nodes. The QoS nodes has a mechanism to support QoS. we can find the appropriate network parameters by many simulations. And the changes of network status are considered according to the number of nodes.

This paper analyzes and proposes a scheme that improves the performance of the RTP that is developed to support the end-to-end transmission function and QoS monitor function for real-time multimedia data transmission. Although the existing RTP module supports real-time transmission, it has some problems in guaranteeing QoS parameters. To solve this problem, we propose a new Selective Repeat Adaptive Rate Control (SRARC). The SRARC can support QoS by referring to the data transmission status from the client and then classifying the network status into three levels. It selectively transmits multimedia data and dynamically controls transmission rates based on such information as bandwidth, packet loss rate, and latency that can be calculated in data transfer phase. To verify the SRARC, we implement it in real local area networks and compare the QoS parameters of the SRARC with those of the SR and RTP By the experimental results, the SRARC shows better performance in the aspects of bandwidth usage rate, packet loss rates, and transmission delays than the existing RTP schemes.

Since multimedia data takes large part of realtime transmission in wireless communication environments such as IEEE 802.11, QoS issues became one of the important problems with network performance. 802.11e MAC provides differentiated services based on priority schemes to solve existing 802.11 MAC problems. The TXOP is an important factor with the priority to improve network performance and QoS because it defines the time duration in which multiple frames can be transferred at one time for each station. In this paper, therefore frame sizes, TXOP Limit, and Priority values in accordance with the number of stations are experimented and derived for best network performance and QoS. Using 802.11e standard parameters, simulation results show the best throughput when the number of stations is 5 and TXOP Limit value is 6.016ms. For fairness, the best result is achieved at 3.008ms of TXOP Limit value and 15-31 of CW(Contention Window) that is lower priority than CW 7-15.

MANET(Mobile Ad hoc networks) is a mobile, multi-hop, and wireless network which is bandwidth constrained, energy constrained, resource constrained, autonomous, and self operating systems with dynamic topology. These constraints make the routing between communicating nodes in ad hoc networks difficult. In this paper we survey several routing protocol for mobile ad hoc networks. Especially, we focus on Zone Routing Protocol, hybrid routing framework suitable for a wide of mobile ad hoc networks and analyze performance of ZRP. In the case of ZRP protocol, it is essential that the use of optimal zone radius for efficient use. Otherwise it was proved through an simulation that performance of whole network is rapidly decrease with greatly increasing overhead of ZRP traffic that need for transmission of packet by IARP or IERP traffic. Also we suggest the process of finding QoS path that use in-band signal for QoS routing in ad hoc network. This method guarantees route that make real time multimedia service for QoS enabled path.

The quality of service(QoS) model should be presented with the optimal network design to effectively provide the multimedia data services between users and converged services with mobile or TV in the next-generation Internet. In specific, the method to provide differentiated services for each user is needed in the given Internet node to offer the previously negotiated QoS with the user. In this paper, the performance of the QoS enabling technologies in the differentiated services(DiffServ) network domain is analyzed. The QoS offering model and QoS metrics are presented to analyze the performance of the major scheduling algorithms. Under the real network topology and virtual service scenarios in the university, the NS-2 network simulation based on the discrete-event is performed. The results show that the ratio-based scheduling method is more effective rather than the bandwidth-assignment method.

A promising solution to protect wired Internet networks is to use the Secure Internet Protocol (IPSec); however, this has some drawbacks, particularly on the quality of service (QoS). This paper aims at evaluating the video traffic QoS in terms of end-to-end delay and packet loss rate. Based on some basic assumptions, our analysis shows that the performance with IPSec is rapidly inferior to the IPv4 performance. We thus suggest adding some QoS parameters into IPSec in order to achieve a compromise between QoS and security.
