A subscriber-oriented service became necessary for the QoS management due to the development of network. BcN(Broadband convergence Network) which incorporates communication, broadcasting and internet not only improves the quality of the communication and broadcasting service but also. aims at broadband service. Therefore, QoS management for each subscriber becomes more important. Not yet, however, the discussion for the subscriber oriented QoS management is not activated. Although, there are several techniques for subscriber distinction using flow information, IP information or MAC information, but they are only processed in layer 3 network. Actually, it is impossible to manage QoS of all subscriber's in layer 3 network. In this paper, we propose a method for QoS management scheme that does not need additional processes or large hardware in layer 2 network and analyze efficiency and overheads. We propose the first subscriber-oriented service method in layer 2 network that is applicable to either existing network or BcN.

In this paper we propose the QAC-MAC that supports Quality of Service(QoS) and saves energy resources of the sensor node, and hence prolonging the lifetime of the sensor network with multiple sink nodes. Generally, the nodes nearest to the sink node often experience heavy congestion since all data is forwarded toward the sink through those nodes. So this critically effects on the delay-constraint data traffics. QAC-MAC uses a hybrid mechanism that adapts scheduled scheme for medium access and scheduling and unscheduled scheme based on TDMA for no data collision transmission. Generally speaking, characteristics of the real-time traffic with higher priority tends to be bursty and has same destination. QAC-MAC adapts cross-layer concept to rearrange the data transmission order in each sensor node's queue, saves energy consumption by allowing few nodes in data transmission, and prolongs the network lifetime.

실시간 멀티미디어 응용의 등장으로 멀티캐스트와 QoS(Quality of Service) 지원이 필수적인 망 서비스로 부각되고 있다. 이에, ATM 기반의 인터넷에서 IP 멀티캐스트의 효율적인 처리를 위하여 MARS(Multicast Address Resolution Server)가 제안되었고, 기존의 최선 서비스 기반의 인터넷에서 QoS(Quality of Service)를 지원하기 위하여 RSVP(Resource Reservation Protocol)가 제안되었다. 본 논문에서는 ATM 망에서 QoS가 지원되는 IP 멀티캐스트 서비스를 제공하기 위하여 MARS 구조에서 RSVP를 지원하는 두 가지 방안을 제안하고, 시뮬레이션을 통하여 그 성능을 분석하였다. 제안하는 두 가지 방법은 각각 'RSVP 전 홉 노드 방식'과 'MARS 서버 방식'이라 명명하였다. RSVP 전 홉 노드 방식은 송신원으로부터 ATM 망으로 진입하는 노드와 수신원을 향하여 ATM 망을 진출하는 노드 간에 각각 일대일 양방향 VC를 설정하여 멀티캐스트 그룹에 속하는 수신원들이 보내는 자원 예약 메시지를 ATM 망에서 전송하는 방안이다. MARS 서버 방식은 ATM 망을 진출하는 노드와 MARS 서버간에 MARS 제어 메시지 교환을 위해 존재하는 ATM VC를 사용하여 RSVP의 자원 예약 메시지를 전송하고, MARS 서버가 RSVP 자원 예약 메시지를 처리하도록 그 기능을 확장함으로써 ATM 망에서 필요로 하는 제어 VC 수를 절약할 수 있는 방안이다. 시뮬레이션을 통하여, MARS 서버 방식은 ATM 제어 VC의 수를 절약할 수 있을 뿐 아니라 경우에 따라 RSVP 자원 예약 메시지 전달 지연을 줄일 수도 있음을 볼 수 있었다. 그러나, MARS 클러스터 내에 동시에 존재하는 RSVP 흐름이 많을 때에는 MARS 서버 방식의 경우 MARS 서버에서의 병목 현상으로 인해 성능이 저하될 수 있다.Abstract Emerging real time multimedia applications require multicast service with a QoS(Quality of Service) support. An overlay service architecture MARS(Multicast Address Resolution Server) is proposed to support IP multicast over an ATM network, and a resource reservation protocol RSVP is proposed to provide QoS support in the Internet which is originally based upon best effort service only. In this paper, we propose two schemes to support IP multicast service with QoS support over ATM networks: 'RSVP Previous Hop Node(RPHN) scheme' and 'MARS server based scheme'. In RPHN scheme, the RSVP reservation messages are transported via one-to-one ATM control VC from the egress nodes to the ingress nodes of the the multicast flow set up between each pair of nodes. The RSVP message processing occurs at the ingress nodes of the multicast flow. Whereas, in the MARS server based scheme, the RSVP reservation messages are transported via the MARS control VCs between the egress nodes and the MARS server. The RSVP message processing burden is imposed at MARS server in this scheme. For MARS server based scheme, no additional ATM VC is required for RSVP reservation message transmission, while the processing burden at the MARS server is high. Simulation results show that the MARS server based scheme, may accomplish RSVP reservation message delivery with smaller delay as well as saving of the number of ATM VCs. When the number of simultaneous RSVP flows in the MARS cluster is large, however, MARS based scheme may suffer performance degradation since MARS server becomes a performance bottleneck.

A recent major development in computer technology is the advent of wearable computer systems. Wearable computer systems employ a wireless universal serial bus (WUSB), which refers to a combination of USB with the WiMedia wireless technical specifications. In this study, we focus on an integrated system of WUSB over wireless body area networks (WBANs) for wireless wearable computer systems. However, current WBAN MACs do not have well-defined quality of service (QoS) mapping and resource allocation mechanisms to support multimedia streams with the requested QoS parameters. To solve this problem, we propose a novel QoS-aware time slot allocation method. The proposed method provides fair and adaptive QoS provisioning to isochronous streams according to current traffic loads and their requested QoS parameters by executing a QoS satisfaction algorithm at the WUSB/WBAN host. The simulation results show that the proposed method improves the efficiency of time slot utilization while maximizing QoS provisioning.

In this paper we propose a QMAC to support QoS(Quality of Service) and to enhance the transmission throughput in Wireless Sensor Networks(WSNs). In the proposed QMAC, sender nodes send transmission request packets with QoS requirements to the receivers node using CSMA/CA MAC protocol. And the receiver node assigns slots according to the packet priority, network topology, and the amount of traffics using TDMA. Using QMAC we get the enhanced throughput and QoS support by lowering the duplicated slot assignment.

The IEEE 802.16 wireless metropolitan area network (WMAN) standard is designed to correct expensive communication costs in CDMA-based mobile communication systems and limited coverage problems in wireless LAN systems. Thus, the IEEE 802.16e standard can provide mobile high-speed packet access between mobile stations and the Internet service provider through the base station with cheap communication fees. To efficiently accommodate voice over IP (VoIP) services in IEEE 802.16 systems, an uplink quality of service packet-scheduling scheme is proposed, and its performance is evaluated with an NS-2 network simulator in this paper. Numerical results show that this proposed scheme can increase the system capacity by 100% more than in the unsolicited rand service (UGS) scheme and 30% more than the extended real-time polling service (ertPS) scheme, respectively.

In this paper, we propose first a scheme of grouping spectrum holes that are created in the multiple channels of primary users, and then by using the scheme we enhance quality of service (QoS) of wideband cognitive radio users in cellular cognitive radio networks. In our scheme, spectrum holes created in each primary channel are predicted by Wiener prediction process, and then the predicted spectrum holes happened in the same time are grouped into a group. The wideband cognitive radio users explore the group of spectrum holes to improve their QoS. Simulation results show that their handoff calls dropping rate and initial calls blocking rate are significantly reduced in our scheme, compared to those in the single primary channel.

With growth of Internet, real time multimedia application services require guarantee of QoS (Quality of Service). However, the existing Internet based on best-effort service is not enough to support those services, so MARS model to support IP multicast over ATM networks and RSVP to provide heterogeneous QoS by resource reservation scheme are proposed. As a simulation result, it is proved that processing delay of MARS is increased and success of resource reservation is decreased as a number of QoS change request of a receiver is increased. Therefore, it is important to provide heterogeneous QoS that distribute a load of MARS caused by convergence of messages and efficiently manage the resource of network as to find out scale of receivers and frequency of QoS change request.

Among the resource provisioning mechanisms for the hose based Virtual Private Network (VPN) Quality of Service (QoS ), VPN-specific state provisioning allows the service provider to obtain highest resource multiplexing gains. However, dynamic and automatic resource reservation for the VPN-specific state provisioning is difficult due to the lack of appropriate resource reservation protocol. Furthermore, users of a VPN may experience unfair usage of resources among themselves since the reserved resources of a VPN are shared by the VPN users in a similar way that the traditional LAN bandwidth is shared by the attached hosts. In this paper, we propose a resource reservation protocol and a traffic service mechanism, which not only enable dynamic and automatic resource reservation according to the VPN-specific state provisioning algorithm, but also enforce the fair usage of reserved resources among the users of a VPN in case of congestion.

VoIP is a service that changes the analogue audio signal into a digital signal and then transfers the audio information to the users after configuring it as a packet; and it has an advantage of lower price than the existing voice call service and better extensibility. However, VoIP service has a system structure that, compared to the existing PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network), has poor call quality and is vulnerable in the security aspect. To make up these problems, TLS service was introduced to enhance the security. In practical system, however, since QoS problem occurs, it is necessary to develop the VoIP security system that can satisfy QoS at the same time in the security aspect. In this paper, a user authentication VoIP system that can provide a service according to the security and the user through providing a differential service according to the approach of the users by adding AA server at the step of configuring the existing VoIP session is suggested. It was found that the proposed system of this study provides a quicker QoS than the TLS-added system at a similar level of security. Also, it is able to provide a variety of additional services by the different users.
