Efficient resource management and hand-over schemes are necessary to maintain consistent QoS because it may be severely defected by some delay and information loss during hand-over in LTE-Advanced networks. This paper proposes a resource management scheme based on the load control to support consistent QoS for heterogeneous services during hand-over in OFDMA based systems. Various multimedia services with different requirements for resource are able to be serviced simultaneously because service continuity can be provided by our proposed scheme. Simulation results show that it provides better performances than the conventional one with the measure of hand-over failure rate and packet loss rate.

최근 다양한 멀티미디어 서비스와 스트림 서비스의 급증과 사용자의 서비스 기대 증가로 인해 기존의 컴퓨팅 환경도 인터넷 기반의 분산 멀티미디어 환경으로 변화되고 있다. 이러한 다양한 요구를 만족시키기 위해서는 인터넷 환경과 실시간 특성들이 혼합된 폭넓은 범위의 분산 애플리케이션을 지원해야 하고, 이들 서비스간의 QoS(Quality of Service)를 보장해야 한다. 이를 위해 본 논문에서는 분산환경인 CORBA기반에서 자원들의 효과적인 관리와 서비스들간의 QoS를 보장하는 분산 QoS 관리 구조를 제시한다 즉, 클라이언트 측에 QoS 제어 관리 모들(QoS Control Management Module)을, 서버측에는 QoS 관리 모듈(QoS Management Module)을 각각 분산시켜 QoS 관리 및 제어를 분산 구조화함으로써 서버 시스템의 부하를 줄이고, 분산 서비스 응용에 지원을 확장할 수 있도록 하며 모듈들의 재사용이 가능하도록 하였다. 또한 분산 QoS 제어를 위해 실시간 협약(Negotiation) 및 동적 적응(Dynamic Adaptation)과정이 분산환경에서 수행되도록 기능 설계를 하였다. 이들 기능수행의 전반과정을 UML(Unified Modeling Lang uage)을 이용하여 순차적 다이어그램으로 기술하였다.

Different multimedia services over networks not only require different amounts of bandwidth but also have different Qualify of Service (QoS) requirements. For example, QoS guarantees for higher priority calls is an important issue in multimedia communication networks. In this paper, we develop an adaptive bandwidth management algorithm, which is able to provide QoS guarantees for higher priority calls while accommodating as many heterogeneous multimedia call connections as possible. Our scheme, based on reservation and bandwidth adaptation, manages bandwidth based on real time estimates of current network conditions. Simulation results indicate the superior performance of our scheme providing excellent trade off between contradictory requirements.

Recently, demand for real-time data and multimedia data is rapidly increasing, and it is impossible for mobile Ad Hoc networks with only best effort service to efficiently transfer such data. So, we absolutely need the QoS service which reserves the communication resources in advance. The existing routing protocols, which assume that the links between nodes are bidirectional, provide the convenience for the route discovery and maintenance, but can not support the routing function for the unidirectional links due to the wireless link property easily changing with time under the real wireless environment. In order to solve such problems, in this dissertation we suggested a unidirectional QoS routing a waste of communication resources. The waste of protocol that supports unidirectional links and reduces communication resources is reduced by establishing the shortest route suitable to QoS support, considering in advance the usable communication resources at each node.

Networked control systems(NCSs) have gained increasing attention in recent years due to their advantages and potential applications. The network Quality-of-Service(QoS) in NCSs always fluctuates due to changes of the traffic load and available network resources. To handle the network QoS variations problem, this paper presents an intelligent scheduling control method for NCSs, where the sampling period and the control parameters are simultaneously scheduled to compensate the effect of QoS variation on NCSs performance. For NCSs with network-induced delays and packet dropouts, a discrete-time switch model is proposed. By defining a sampling-period-dependent Lyapunov function and a common quadratic Lyapunov function, the stability conditions are derived for NCSs in terms of linear matrix inequalities(LMIs). Based on the obtained stability conditions, the corresponding controller design problem is solved and the performance optimization problem is also investigated. Simulation results are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approaches.

Handling mixed workload in digital set-top box or streaming server becomes an important issue as integrated file system gets momentum as the choice for the next generation file system. The next generation file system is required to handle real-time audio/video playback while being able to handle text requests such as web page, image file, etc. Legacy file system provides only best effort I/O service and thus cannot properly support the QoS of soft real-time I/O. In this paper, we would like to present our experience in developing the file system which fan guarantee the QoS of multimedia stream. We classify all application I/O requests into two category: periodic I/O and sporadic I/O. The QoS requirement of multimedia stream could be guaranteed by giving a higher priority to periodic requests than sporadic requests. The proto-type file system(Qosfs) is developed on Linux Operating System.

현재 인터넷상의 QoS(Quality of Service) 향상을 위해서 여러 가지 방법과 기술들이 소개되고 있다. 이러한 QoS 향상을 위해 트래픽 제어기법과 IS(Integrated Services), DS(Differentiated Services), Tag Switching, MPLS(Multi protocol Label Switching) 등과 같은 방법으로 인터넷에서 보다 나은 서비스를 지원하려는 노력이 시도되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 특히 TCP connection에서의 initial window size의 변경이 네트워크의 QoS, 즉 link의 utilization과 packet의 drop, performance에 어떠한 영향을 주는지를 살펴본다. 그리고, 이에 대한 특성을 분석하고 개선점을 현재의 인터넷에서 가장 많이 사용되어지고 있는 FTP와 web에 대한 모델을 사용하여 가상적으로 시뮬레이션을 해본다.

본 논문은 단대단 지연을 감소시키고 낮은 비용으로 멀티캐스트 라우팅 트리를 생성할 수 있는 AQDMR 알고리즘을 제안한다. 현재의 라우터는 QoS(Quality of Service)를 보장하기 위해 인접된 노드로의 링크 정보를 라우팅 테이블에 보관하고 있다. 멀티캐스트 트리를 생성할 때 AQDMR 알고리즘은 동적으로 지연이 가장 작고 비용이 낮은 트리를 구성한다. 기존의 멀티캐스트 알고리즘과 비교한 시뮬레이션 결과, AQDMR 알고리즘은 빠르고 동적으로 멀티캐스트 트리를 구성할 수 있음을 입증하였다.

Provisioning of quality of service (QoS) is a key issue in any multi-media system. However, in wireless systems, supporting QoS requirements of different traffic types is a more challenging problem due to the need to simultaneously minimize two performance metrics - the probability of dropping a handover call and the probability of blocking a new call. Since QoS requirements are not as stringent for non-real-time traffic, as opposed to real-time traffic, more calls can be accommodated by releasing some bandwidth from the already admitted non-real-time traffic calls. If the released bandwidth that is used to handle handover calls is larger than the released bandwidth that is used for new calls, then the resulting probability of dropping a handover call is smaller than the probability of blocking a new call. In this paper, we propose an efficient call admission control algorithm that relies on adaptive multi-level bandwidth-allocation scheme for non-realtime calls. The scheme allows reduction of the call dropping probability, along with an increase in the bandwidth utilization. The numerical results show that the proposed scheme is capable of attaining negligible handover call dropping probability without sacrificing bandwidth utilization.

The most important issue for successful deployment of IPTV service is the service quality. In this paper, we first choose critical quality metrics belonging to each layer of IPTV service transmission architecture and then analyze the relation between the quality parameters. For this purpose, we implement a test network that emulates the most practical environment in which IPTV service is provided and repeat measurements on the test network for the chosen metrics. Based on the analysis result, it is shown that packet losses have greater effect on the video quality of IPTV service comparing to delay and jitter.
