In this paper, a channel access control algorithm and a dynamic slot allocation algorithm are proposed for rt_VBR services and ABR services in the wireless ATM networks. In the proposed algorithm, rt_VBR terminals that require real-time services transmit a reservation request packet by a RAS minislot. An rt_VBR terminal, which transmitted the reservation request packet, transmits the dynamic parameters by DPS minislot without contention. On the other hand, ABR terminals that have a non-real-time traffic burst transfer a reservation request packet with contention basis. Based on the received dynamic parameters, the base station scheduler allocates uplink data slots as well as DPS minislot into rt_VBR terminals.

This paper proposes a MAC protocol for real-time VBR (rt-VBR) services in wireless ATM networks. The proposed protocol is characterized by a contention-based mechanism of the reservation request, a contention-free polling scheme for transferring the dynamic parameters, and a priority scheme of the slot allocation. The design objective of the proposed protocol is to guarantee the real-time constraint of rt-VBR traffic. The scheduling algorithm uses a priority scheme based on the maximum cell transfer delay parameter. The wireless terminal establishes an rt-VBR connection to the base station with a contention-based scheme. The base station scheduler allocates a dynamic parameter minislot to the wireless terminal for transferring the residual lifetime and the number of requesting slots as the dynamic parameters. Based on the received dynamic parameters, the scheduler allocates the uplink slots to the wireless terminal with the most stringent delay requirement. The simulation results show that the proposed protocol can guarantee the delay constraint of rt-VBR services along with its cell loss rate significantly reduced.

In this paper, a cell scheduling algorithm is proposed to satisfy the service requirements of CBR, VBR traffics. Particularly, inthe proposed algorithm an ABR traffic which is not included in the conventional cell schedulaing algorithm is treated as one kind of traffic types. The algorithm of RT-VBR and NRT-VBR traffic such that the service requrements of RT-VBR and NRT-VBR traffic are satisfied. The proposed algorithm dynamically schedules cells in a real time by considerin the current traffic conditions. The simulation of the proposed algorithms such as WRR or DWRR in terms of the mean delay time and the maximum queue length.

This paper suggested to solve ATM switch performance and service rate which was input buffer managed scheme in ATM network with burst traffic characteristics, For this purpose, ATM multiplexer is prepared before sending for handling burst random input traffic to multiplex and then sort based on cell inter-arrival time and cell processing due time which had been marked after that. The server looks for cell header with the most shortest due time and sends it, thus it is satisfied that real time traffic for instance CBR and rt-VBR was guaranteed cell processing time to send fast than non real time traffic. For analysis of ATM switch performance with cell processing due time and priority, each output port has divided into four different virtual buffer and each buffer has assigned different cell inter-arrival time and processing due time according to ATM Forum for example CBT/rt-VBR, nrt-VBR, ABR and UBR and showed it’s optimal service parameters then analyzed service rate behaviors according to each traffic characteristics.

Increased network reliability is required as the size of communication network becomes larger and the bandwidth requirement is increasing. And preparing of backup path is required to protect the network from serious network failures in high speed network. In this paper, we construct multiple logical networks on a physical ATM network according to the ATM bearer service category(CBR, rt-VBR, nrt-VBR, ABR, UBR) defined by ATM Forum to support the required QoS(Quality of Service) and to manage the network more efficiently. We use backup path restoration algorithm rather than dynamic restoration to achieve rapid restoration when active path fails and we use fault management function in TINA. We propose a restoration scheme that is suitable for high-speed network.

This paper studies a real-time VBR traffic characterization. There are two big approaches to determine traffic. One is a statistic approach and the other is a deterministic approach. This paper proposes a new constraint function, what we called “Sub-Sum Constraint Function”(SSCF). This function is mainly based on a deterministic approach and uses a statistic approach. It predicts and calculates the next rate with a present information about the stream. SSCF captures the intuitive bounded by a rate lower than its peak rate and closer to its long-term average rate. This model makes a order of the constraint function much less than any other works (O(n)). It can also be mapped on a token bucket algorithm which consists of r (token rate) and b (token depth). We use a concept, EB(effective bandwidth) for a utility of our function and comparing with other techniques such as CBR, average VBR. We simulated 21 multimedia sources for verifying the utility of our function.

In ATM network there exist several traffics according to QoS, such as CBR, rt-VBR, nrt-VBR, UBR, and ABR. Many studies have done at the traffic management of ABR which uses the unused network bandwidth. Many flow control mechanisms have proposed to use efficiently the unused bandwidth. In TMWG(Traffic Management Working Group) of ATM Forum, there exist rate-based, credit-based, and mixture of them to manage flow control of ABR traffic. Among these, rate-based mechanisms adopted as standard because it is flexible and also makes it possible to implement ATM switch with low price and high capacity. In this paper, we study the switch that uses EFCI, ER and VS/VD(Virtual Source/Virtual Destination) with rate-based mechanism. Instead of using queue threshold, we propose a new algorithm which uses bandwidth threshold of input stage of switch, and manages efficiently ABR traffic with EPRCA algorithm.

In general, requirements for QoS are different according to the type of services in wire-line and wireless ATM networks, and real-time video service is more sensitive to cell transmission delay than to cell loss. Existing handoff schemes emphasizing prevention of cell loss had limitations in cell transmission delay to satisfy QoS. In this paper, a novel scheme to transmit ATM cells with low CLP(when CLP = 0) prior to others and discarding cells with high CLP(when CLF = 1) in ATM cell header among cells to be forwarded to new base station during handoffs in real-time VBR service is proposed. The proposed scheme is proven to be suitable for the satisfaction of QoS of real-time VBR service and appropriate for fast handoffs by giving high CLP value to less meaningful MPEG frames through simulations.

As user's demands for high-speed data traffic are recently increased, ABR services are considered as one of important service requirements in ATM networks. Unfortunately, a number of existing ATM switching systems have structural drawbacks as to support ABR services because these switching systems have been developed to support realtime(rt) services such as CBR and rt-VBR services. To support ABR services in the existing ATM switching systems, new traffic control mechanisms for ABR services are required. This paper proposes a method for supporting ABR services in ATM swithcing systems without back-pressure mechanisms and evaluates the performance of the proposed method using simulation.
