기존의 데이터망과는 달리 B-ISDN은 데이터, variable-rate 비디오 등과 같은 bursty하고 variable bit rate를 갖는 트래픽원으로부터 smooth하고 constant bit rate를 갖는 트래픽원까지 광범위한 계층의 트래픽을 모두 수용해야만 한다. 게다가 이 망은 다양한 계층의 트래픽에게 일정 수준 이상의 품질, 즉 QoS(Quality of Service)를 보장해 주어야만 한다. 셀 손실이나 지연시간 그리고 지연시간 jittere등을 포함하는 QoS 성능척도들은 응용서비스 별로 서로 다를 것이고 특히 실시간(real-time) 응용 서비스를 지원하는 망에서의 QoS문제는 특별히 중요성을 더하게 된다. 따라서 통계적 다중화에 의해 얻어지는 망자원의 효율성을 확보하면서 end-to-end QoS 보장을 해주는 문제는 B-ISDN에서 매우 중요하나 아직 대부분 미해결 문제로 남아 있는 분야이다. 본 연구에서는 end-to-end 분석에 가장 큰 에로점으로 부각되는 multi-hop망 환경하에서 트래픽 분석에 초점을 맞추어 기존 연구결과등을 폭넓게 비교 분석하고 최근 연구 동향 및 추후 연구 사항을 제시하고자 한다.

In this paper, we consider broadband satellite systems using MF-TDMA(Multi-Frequency Time Division Multiple Access) scheme. First, we analyze return link, superframe structure, and QoS( Quality of Service) parameters in broadband satellite systems, and mathematically formulate the QoS-based optimal timeslot allocation problem as a nonlinear integer programming problem for broadband satellite systems with clear-sky and rain-fade satellite terminals, and multiple data classes. Next, we modify the proposed problem to solve it within in a fast time, and suggest the QoS-based optimal timeslot allocation scheme. Extensive simulation results show that the proposed scheme finds an optimal solution or a near optimal solution within 5ms at Pentium IV PC.

인터넷에서 멀티미디어 서비스 및 고품질의 서비스를 제공하기 위한 다양한 모델들이 제시되고 있다. 기존의 Integrated Service(Intserv)나 Differentiated Service(Diffserv)가 확장성과 종단간의 QoS 보장 측면에서 문제점을 보이면서 최근에는 이들을 통합하려는 시도가 나오고 있다. 그러나 각 모델의 기존 구조가 다르기 때문에 자연스럽게 연결되는(Seamless) 통합 네트워크를 제시하는데 상당한 어려움이 있다. 본 논문에서는 인터넷에서 종단간의 QoS을 보장하기 위해 제시된 모델들의 특성을 살펴보고, 현재 제시되고 있는 통합 모델의 형태를 분석한다. 이를 토대로 Bandwidth Broker(BB)의 새로운 역할을 제시하여 통합 모델에 대한 연구의 방향을 설정하고, 종단간 서비스 품질을 보장할 수 있는 통합 네트워크의 구조를 제안한다.

This paper presents a terminal-assisted frame-based packet reservation multiple access (TAF-PRMA) protocol, which optimizes random access control between heterogeneous traffic aiming at more efficient voice/data integrated services in dynamic reservation TDMA-based broadband access networks. In order to achieve a differentiated quality-of-service (QoS) guarantee for individual service plus maximal system resource utilization, TAF-PRMA independently controls the random access parameters such as the lengths of the access regions dedicated to respective service traffic and the corresponding permission probabilities, on a frame-by-frame basis. In addition, we have adopted a terminal-assisted random access mechanism where the voice terminal readjusts a global permission probability from the central controller in order to handle the 'fair access' issue resulting from distributed queuing problems inherent in the access network. Our extensive simulation results indicate that TAF-PRMA achieves significant improvements in terms of voice capacity, delay, and fairness over most of the existing medium access control (MAC) schemes for integrated services.

Emerging applications in automation, medical imaging, traffic monitoring and surveillance need real-time data transmission over Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). Guaranteeing Quality of Service (QoS) for real-time traffic over WSNs creates new challenges. Rapid penetration of smart devices, standardization of Machine Type Communications (MTC) in next generation 5G wireless networks have added new dimensions in these challenges. In order to satisfy such precise QoS constraints, in this paper, we propose a new cross-layer QoS-provisioning strategy in Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks (WMSNs). The network layer performs statistical estimation of sensory QoS parameters. Identifying QoS-routing problem with multiple objectives as NP-complete, it discovers near-optimal QoS-routes by using evolutionary genetic algorithms. Subsequently, the Medium Access Control (MAC) layer classifies the packets, automatically adapts the contention window, based on QoS requirements and transmits the data by using routing information obtained by the network layer. Performance analysis is carried out to get an estimate of the overall system. Through the simulation results, it is manifested that the proposed strategy is able to achieve better throughput and significant lower delay, at the expense of negligible energy consumption, in comparison to existing WMSN QoS protocols.

QoS routing can improve network performance while providing support for QoS guarantees. These benefits, however, comes with additional routing costs such as more complex and frequent route computation and the protocol overheads to exchange dynamic network state information. Moreover, little has been done to mininize the impact of the QoS traffic to the best effort traffic or to enhance the routine Performance of the best effort traffic when QoS routing is deployed. In this paper, it is proposed that a sewer based routing mechanism, which supports the QoS routing without incurring the QoS routing protocol overhead for the network state update exchanges and enhances the performance of the best effort traffic without affecting the performance of QoS routing. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme enhances the routing performance for the QoS traffic while reducing the routing protocol overhead. The routing performance of the best traffic is also improved with virtually no impact to the routine performance of the QoS traffic. The proposed scheme is shown to be especially effective when the ratio of QoS traffic is high, that is, when the impact of the QoS traffic to the performance of best effort traffic is significant.

Most of the existing broadband access networks based on DSL, cable modem, and Ethernet support the best-effort internet access service, and adopt the flat rate pricing mechanism. It is almost impossible to provide the differentiated communication services, in current broadband access networks, for the different users and/or the different application services. Currently, however, the advances in multimedia, communication, and security technologies push the interactive and/or streaming multimedia services and VPN services to be widely deployed over Internet, and they require more QoS-sensitive services than the best-effort service. Though various QoS technologies such as RSVP-based IntServ and DiffSern were already developed and under standardization in Internet world, it is impractical to replace the existing QoS-unaware access networks with the QoS-enabled ones at a time to deploy QoS-sensitive services. In this paper, after analyzing current broadband access network architectures and the status of QoS support, we propose a practical approach to support multimedia QoS in the broadband access networks. The approach will be based on the integration of the differentiated pricing and the DiffServ technology. And it will be a step-wise approach to support backward compatibility with the legacy broadband access networks as much as possible.

We present a novel service discipline, called linear service discipline, to serve multiple QoS queues sharing a resource and analyze its properties. The linear server makes the output traffic and the queueing dynamics of individual queues as a linear function of its input traffic. In particular, if input traffic is Gaussian, the distributions of queue length and output traffic are also Gaussian with their mean and variance being a function of input mean and input power spectrum (equivalently, autocorrelation function of input). Important QoS measures including buffer overflow probability and queueing delay distribution are also expressed as a function of input mean and input power spectrum. This study explores a new direction for network-wide traffic management based on linear system theories by letting us view the queueing process at each node as a linear filter.

Currently, the IETF group is working on service differentiation in the Internet. However, in wireless environments such as Ad-hoc networks, where channel conditions are variable and bandwidth is scarce, the Internet differentiated services are suboptimal without lower layers' support. The IEEE 802.11 standard for Wireless LANs is the most widely used WLAN standard today. 1t has a mode of operation that can be used to provide service differentiation, but it has been shown to perform badly. In this paper, we present a new service differentiation scheme for support QoS in the wireless IEEE 802.11, which is based on a multiple queuing system to provide priority of user's flow. We simulate and analyze the performance of our algorithm and compare its performance with the original IEEE 802.11b protocol. Simulation results show that our approach increases overall throughput in the MAC layer.

Efforts for standardization of medium access control (MAC) protocol in IEEE802.11e have been made to support quality of service (QoS) in IEEE802.11e MAC protocol. Enhanced disoibuted coordination function (EDCF) of 802.11e MAC protocol is modified to support QoS for packets that have differentiated priority. However, EDCF still has the problem of throughput optimization and priority support. Therefore, we have proposed a scheme called adaptive EDCF for both supporting priority of packets and throughput optimization. We have derived the relation between the number of nodes and contention window size for throughput optimization. Based on the analytic results, we have evaluated the performance of the proposed scheme using OPNET simulations. The simulation results show that using the proposed scheme can improve the overall throughput regardless of the number of nodes and the decrement of the throughput with increasing the number of nodes can be alleviated. Additionally, we have shown that the adaptive EDCF can support priority of packets more effectively than existing EDCF.
