In this paper, we discuss a novel reservation-based, asynchronous MAC protocol called 'Multi-rate Multi-hop MAC Protocol' (MMMP) for multi-hop ad hoc networks that provides QoS guarantees for multimedia traffic. MMMP achieves this by providing service differentiation for multirate real-time traffic (both constant and variable bit rate traffic) and guaranteeing a bounded end-to-end delay for the same while still catering to the throughput requirements of non real time traffic. In addition, it administers bandwidth preservation via a feature called 'Smart Drop' and implements efficient bandwidth usage through a mechanism called 'Release Bandwidth'. Simulation results on the QualNet simulator indicate that MMMP outperforms IEEE 802.11 on all performance metrics and can efficiently handle a large range of traffic intensity. It also outperforms other similar state-of-the-art MAC protocols.

In this paper, the prototype of haptic-based NVE (networked virtual environment) QoE (quality of experience) is proposed. The proposed framework plays a role of providing users with realistic feeling by managing the system and network resources efficiently under time-varying networks and heterogeneous systems. Therefore, first IoPH (importance of presence for haptic interaction) is defined to quantitate the sense of real that the users feel now. Then we define the haptic-based NVE components required to satisfy the haptic interaction QoE requirements. Finally, QoE adaptation scheme is suggested, which adapts the haptic-based NVE components to current network and system constraints for better haptic interaction quality.

In this paper, we propose a predictive(transient) connection admission control(CAC) scheme for satellite systems that supports on-board packet switching of multimedia traffic with predefined quality of service(QoS) requirements. The CAC scheme incorporates the unique characteristics of satellite systems, e.g. large propagation delays, no onboard buffer, and low computational requirement. The CAC scheme requires the estimation of the On-Off traffic characteristics ($\lambda$, $\mu$) of the traffic sources. These estimated values are used to predict the transient cell loss ratio at each downlink. In case the QoS requirements are not met the proposed CAC scheme rejects the new connection. The numerical results obtained suggest that the proposed scheme is an excellent candidate for real time burst and cell level connection prediction and control in broadband on-board satellite networks.

To support diverse transmission requirements of multimedia applications, Quality of Service (QoS) should be provided in the Internet, where only the best-effort service is available. In this paper, we describe our recent effort on the implementation and verification of an extendable and flexible QoS allocation and resource management system based on the bandwidth broker model for realizing the IETF differentiated service (DiffServ). Focusing on the bandwidth issue over single administrative domain, the implemented system provides real-time resource reservation and allocation, delayed call admission control, simple QoS negotiation between sewer and users, and simple resource monitoring. The implemented system is verified by evaluating the performance of a resource-intensive application over the real-world testbed network.

In this paper, we have studied path selection problem using multiple metric. Current Internet selects a path using only one metric. The path selected by one metric is a best-effort service that can satisfy one requirements. In order to satisfy a call with various Qualify-of-Service(QoS) requirements, the path must satisfy multiple constraints. In many cases, path selection is NP-complete. The proposed algorithm is widest-least cost routing algorithm that selects a path based on cost metric which is basically a delay metric influenced by the network status. The proposed algorithm is a multiple metric path selection algorithm that has traffic distribution ability to select shortest path when network load is light and move traffic to other alternate path when the link load is high. We have compared the results with other routing algorithms.

It is required to have researches on efficient resource allocation schemes in an integrated voice and data CDMA system with the spreading of high-speed wireless internets. In this paper, we proposed a efficient resouce allocation scheme for providing a high speed data service in an integrated CDMA system. In an integrated voice/data CDMA system, resources for voice users are allocated with high priority and residual resources are allocated to the data service. In this case, it is necessary to use a resource allocation scheme for minimizing interference. In this paper, we first explain about a interference minimizing method and define QoS requirements. Based on the method, we proposed a efficient resource allocation scheme which satisfy the QoS requirements. The proposed scheme controls the transmission rate and delay of data users with a priority information such as the number of packets in a queue. From the simulation results, we show that the proposed scheme reduce the blocking probability and delay and improve the performance.

The failure occurrence of resources in the grid computing is higher than in a tradition parallel computing. Since the failure of resources affects job execution fatally, fault tolerance service is essential in computational grids. And grid services are often expected to meet some minimum levels of quality of service (QoS) for desirable operation. However Globus toolkit does not provide fault tolerance service that supports fault detection service and management service and satisfies QoS requirement. Thus this paper proposes fault tolerance service to satisfy QoS requirement in computational grids. In order to provide fault tolerance service and satisfy QoS requirements, we expand the definition of failure, such as process failure, processor failure, and network failure. And we propose resource scheduling service, fault detection service and fault management service and show implement and experiment results.

QoS routing is a routing technique for finding feasible path that satisfies QoS requirements required by application programs. Since QoS routing determines such paths in terms of dynamic network state, it satisfies the requirement of applications and increases the utilization of the network. The overhead is, however, generated by routers to exchange the information of the dynamic state of network. In order to reduce this protocol overhead, a timer based update mechanism is proposed in which router checks the change of the network status periodically and network state information is exchanged if the change is greater than a certain value. Using large update period makes, though, routing performance irresponsive to the parameters which determine the update of the network state of the router. In addition to this, large update period may result in inaccurate network state information at routers and cause resource reservation failure. The resource reservation failure generates additional overhead to cancel the resource reservation of the part of the path. In this paper, we propose mechanisms enhancing the existing network state update policy with respect to these two problems. Performance of the proposed schemes are evaluated through a course of simulation.

In general. requirements for QoS are different according to the type of services in wireline and wireless ATM, 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 CLP = 1) in ATM cell header among cells to be forwarded during handoffs in real-time VBR service is proposed. The proposed scheme is proven to be suitable for the satisfaction of QoS and appropriate for fast handoffs by giving high CLP value to less meaningful MPEG frames through simulations.

This paper proposes a new scheduling algorithm for broadband ATM access network. The existed scheduling algorithms (Train, Chao. Dynamic scheduling algorithm) have high cell loss rate and waste channel. These proposed mechanism utilize to control of multimedia services based on the quality of service level of the input traffic This paper suggests a functional architecture of scheduling and the scheduling algorithm to satisfy various QoS requirements. The performance measures of interest, namely steady-state cell loss probability and average delay, average delay, are discussed by simulation results.
