Although there are a lot of file sharing mechanisms in the Internet such as NFS and P2P, FTP is one of the most common mechanisms used until now. In this paper, we propose a more enhanced file sharing mechanism, the Distributed File Server (DFS) method. The most remarkable feature of DFS is that it can be simply adopted in the current Internet FTP services by locating a DFS node between existing FTP servers and clients without changing any existing file transfer environment. To verify the proposed mechanism we implemented a DFS prototype on RedHat 7.2 system and we finally show that it can reduce the file storage problem caused by big-sized multimedia data.

As a demand for high speed uplink packet services increases, the WCDMA enhanced uplink, also known as high speed uplink packet access (HSUPA), has been specified in release 6 by 3GPP. This HSUPA will provide various types of multimedia services, such as real-time video streaming, gaming, VoIP, and FTP. Generally, the performance of HSUPA is dominated by scheduling policy. Therefore, it is required to design a scheduling algorithm considering the traffic characteristics to provide QoS guaranteed services in various traffic environments. In this paper, we propose a scheduling algorithm considering the traffic characteristics to guarantee QoS in a mixed traffic environment. Finally, the performance of the proposed scheduling algorithm is evaluated in terms of average packet delay, packet delay jitter, and system throughput using a system level simulator.
