Abstract

Supporting Quality of Service (QoS) for multimedia services in heterogeneous mobile networks is a part of key issue for Three Generation Evolution (3GE) development. A QoS management structure needs to guarantee the QoS of moving users based on an end-to-end negotiation to support the seamless service when MT is moving between the heterogeneous networks. We propose an end-to-end negotiation method based on SLA(Service Level Agreement). For this aim, the SLA control and algorithm for supporting MT's QoS is considered. Simulation is focused on the average delay and packet loss rate, and the results show that our proposed method provides mobile terminals with the optimal performance.

이종 망 환경에서 멀티미디어 서비스의 QoS를 보장하는 것은 3GE 시스템 개발을 위한 중요한 이슈이다. 이동 단말기가 이종 망간의 이동 시 끊임없는 서비스(seamless service)를 지원하기 위해서는 종단간(end-to-end) 협상 정보에 근거하여 사용자의 QoS를 보장할 수 있는 QoS 운영 구조(QoS management structure)를 제공해야 한다. 본 논문에서는 SLA(Service Level Agreement)에 기반한 종단간 QoS 제어 방안을 제시한다. 이를 위하여, QoS 지원을 위한 SLA 제어 구조 및 알고리즘을 제안하고, 시뮬레이션을 통하여 평균 지연과 패킷 손실률을 평가한다. 제안된 방식을 적용한 시스템이 기존의 망보다 더 좋은 성능을 보인다.
