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.

RSVP (Resource reSerVation Protocol) is the Internet standard protocol for supporting QoS (Quality of Service) requirements by reserving network resources between the sender and the receiver. Several problems, such as common path identification and resource pre-reservation, should be solved to apply RSVP in wireless mobile environments. To resolve these problems, this paper proposes DBRA (Dynamic Branch Router Approach) based on two designated entities, candidate access routers and a branch router. While several RSVP sessions between a branch router and candidate routers are managed, DBRA makes use of only one RSVP session between the sender and a branch router. Based on a network simulation, the proposed scheme has been compared with MRSVP (Mobile RSVP) and HMRSVP (Hierarchical MRSVP) in terms of the average packet transmission rate, bandwidth utilization and RSVP session failure rate.

In this paper we focus on dynamic reservation slot allocation scheme for supporting QoS of a voice traffic in WATM MAC. Especially, voice traffic is the most important real-time object, and so we propose a new MAC protocol for voice traffic over WATM networks in the multimedia environment. According to the characteristics of voice traffic which is repeatedly in silent state and active state, new protocol allocates reservation slots dynamically with respect to the number of silent voice source of which starting time is stored to the state table in base station (BS). The simulation results show that the proposed protocol has better performance than slotted ALOHA in average access delay, collision rate, better than NC-PRMA(Non Collision Packet Reservation Multiple Access) in band width efficiency, and can provide a certain level of QoS requirement by the given slot assignment even though the number of voice terminals is increased.

Bandwidth is an extremely valuable and scarce resource in a wireless network. Therefore, efficient bandwidth management is necessary in order to provide high qualify service to users with different requirements in a multimedia wireless/mobile network. In this paper, we propose an on-line bandwidth reservation algorithm that adjusts bandwidth reservations adaptively based on existing network conditions. The most important contribution of our work is an adaptive algorithm that is able to resolve conflicting performance criteria - bandwidth utilization, call dropping and call blocking probabilities. Our algorithm is quite flexible, is responsive to current traffic conditions in cellular networks, and tries to strike the appropriate performance balance between contradictory requirements for QoS sensitive multimedia services.

To accommodate the increasing number of mobile terminals in the limited radio spectrum, wireless systems have been designed as micro/picocellular architectures for a higher capacity. This reduced coverage area of a cell has caused a higher rate of hand-off events, and the hand-off technology for efficient process becomes a necessity to provide a stable service. Population-based Bandwidth Reservation(PBR) Scheme is proposed to provide prioritized handling for hand-off calls by dynamically adjusting the amount of reserved bandwidth of a cell according to the amount of cellular traffic in its neighboring cells. We analyze the performance of the PBR scheme according to the changes of a fractional parameter, f, which is the ratio of request reservation to the total amount of bandwidth units required for hand-off calls that will occur for the next period. The vague of this parameter, f should be determined based on QoS(Quality of Service) requirement. To meet the requirement the value of Parameter(f) must be able to be adjusted dynamically according to the changing traffic conditions. The best value of f can be determined by a function of the average speed of mobile stations, average call duration, cell size, and so on. This paper considers the average call duration and the cell size according to the speed of mobile stations. Although some difference exists as per speed, in the range of 0.4 $\leq$ f $\leq$ 0.6, Blocking Probability, Dropping Probability and Utilization show the best values.

Fair packet scheduling algorithms supporting quality-of-services of real-time multimedia applications can be classified into the following two schemes in terms of the reference time used in calculating the timestamp of arriving packet; the Finish-Time (FT) and Start-Time (ST) schemes. The FT scheme, used in most schedulers, that has the property of an inversely rate-proportional latency is suitable to support various delay bounds because it can adjust the latency of a flow with raising the flow's reserved rate. However, the scheme may incur some bandwidth loss due to excess rate reservation. Meanwhile, although the ST scheme does not suffer from the bandwidth loss, it is hard to support multiple delay bounds because of its latency property relying on the number of flows. This paper is devoted to propose a ST scheme based scheduler to effectively support multiple delay bounds and analyze its performance comparing to the FT scheme based scheduler. The comparison results show that the proposed scheduler gives better utilization by up to 50%.

Handoff is one of the most important features for the user's mobility in a wireless cellular communication system. It is related to resource reservation at nearby cells. Resource reservation to the new connection point should occur prior to handoff to enable the user to receive the data or services at the new location, at the same level of service as at the previous location. For the efficient resource reservation, mobility prediction has been reported as an effective means to decrease the call dropping probability and to shorten the handoff latency in a wireless cellular environment. A recently proposed algorithm, ZMHB, makes use of the history of the user's positions within the current cell to predict the next cell. But, the prediction of the ZMHB algorithm is found to be 80∼85% accurate for regular and random movements. In this paper, we propose a new improved ZMHB mobility prediction algorithm, which is called Detailed-ZMHB that uses detailed-zone-based tracking of mo-bile users to predict user movements. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is then demonstrated through a simulation.

In CDMA system, the call admission control method using the variable effective bandwidth concept is employed in this paper. The bandwidth for a new call and a handoff call is allocated by considering the number of mobile station being served and dynamically assigned by taking account of the blocking rate of new calls and the dropping rate of handoff calls. There is reserved resource for handoff call. In the case radio resource is insufficient, a new call and a handoff call stand by in buffer for constant time. When radio resource come about, the waiting call is allocated the resource. I analyze the performance of system according to existence and nonexistence of buffer by a simulation study.
