The objective of this paper is to analyze and characterize end-to-end packet statistics after modeling and simulation of WiFi (IEEE 802.11g) and WiMAX (IEEE 802.16e) of a virtual wireless network using OPNET Modeler Wireless Suite. Wireless internal and external network simulators such as Remcom's Wireless InSite Real Time (RT) module, WinProp: W-LAN/Fixed WiMAX/Mobile WiMAX, and SMI system, are designed to consider data transfer rate based on wireless propagation signal strength. However, we approached our research in a different perspective without support for characteristic of these wireless network simulators. That is, we will discuss the purpose of a visual analysis for these packets, how to receive each point packets (e.g., wireless user, base station or access point, and http server) through end-to-end virtual network modeling based on integrated wired and wireless network without wireless propagation signal strength. Measuring packet statistics is important in QoS metric analysis among wireless network performance metrics. Clear packet statistics is an especially essential metric in guaranteeing QoS for WiMAX users. We have found some interesting results through modeling and simulation for virtual wireless network using OPNET Modeler Wireless Suite. We are also able to analyze multi-view efficiency through experiment/observation result.

As the IP multicast function is very slowly deployed in Internet due to its scalability problem and inter-domain interoperability problem, interest in the P2P(Peer-to-Peer) streaming technologies for the realtime multimedia multicast applications such as IPTV is highly growing. This paper proposes a P2P streaming method for the QoS-sensitive multimedia multicast applications such as highly-interactive personal IPTV and video conferences. The proposed P2P streaming method allows an application to construct a reliable streaming tree in which a proper number of backup peers are placed according to its reliability requirement. The reliable streaming tree reduces the reconnection delay, occurred in the case of a normal and/or abnormal peer leave, so as to minimize the loss of streaming data. In the proposed P2P streaming method, the join delay of a peer called startup delay is also substantially reduced because the bandwidth and end-to-end delay information of every peer kept in a distributed way allows the target peer for a joining peer to be able to be quickly determined. Moreover, the proposed method's peer admission control mechanism based on the bandwidth and end-to-end delay enables the delay-bounded streaming services to be provided for its corresponding applications.

An inevitable trend in the next generation wireless network environments is coexistence of different wireless access networks in a complementary, manner. In addition, mobile devices equipped with multiple air interfaces simultaneously executing diverse applications have been emerging, In such network environment, It is required that a solution for mobile users to seamlessly roam between different access networks as well as to satisfy QoS requirements of each application by efficiently utilizing coexisting various wireless access networks. In this paper, therefore, we propose a mobility management platform based on per-application end-to-end mobility management and cross-layer handover controls. Four core functional modules composing the proposed platform for end user devices are defined: Monitoring Agents, Profile Database, Decision Engine, and IP Agent. We show through simulations that the presented platform provides an improved QoS as it selectively utilizes the best available networks.

As real-time media applications based on IP multicast networks spread widely, the end-to-end QoS (quality of service) provisioning for these applications have become very important. To guarantee the end-to-end QoS of multi-party media applications, it is essential to monitor the time-varying status of both network metrics (i.e., delay, jitter and loss) and system metrics (i.e., CPU and memory utilization). In this paper, targeting the multicast-enabled AG (Access Grid) group collaboration tool based on multi-Party real-time media services, a hybrid monitoring scheme that can monitor the status of both multicast network and node system is investigated. It combines active monitoring and passive monitoring approaches to measure multicast network. The active monitoring measures network-layer metrics (i.e., network condition) with probe packets while the passive monitoring checks application-layer metrics (i.e., user traffic condition by analyzing RTCP packets). In addition, it measures node system metrics from system API. By comparing these hybrid results, we attempt to pinpoint the causes of performance degradation and explore corresponding reactions to improve the end-to-end performance. The experimental results show that the proposed hybrid monitoring can provide useful information to coordinate the performance improvement of multi-party real-time media applications.

본 논문의 목표는 TDMA기반의 이동 애드혹 네트워크에서 AODV 라우팅 프로토콜을 이용해서 QoS를 제공하는 것이다. 우리가 제공하려는 QoS는 종단간에 있어서 각 Flow에 대해 연속적이고도 충분한 대역폭을 보장하는 것이다. TDMA에서 대역폭은 time slot으로 다루어지며 각 노드는 전체 N개의 time slot으로 이루어진 frame단위로 전송을 한다. 본 논문에서는 Hello message와 수정된 AODV 프로토콜을 이용해서 이러한 time slot을 관리함으로써 최대한의 QoS를 보장할 수 있는 기법을 제안한다.

무선 멀티 홉 네트워크는 채널 상태의 불안정으로 인해 전송 지연, 패킷 손실 등의 발생이 빈번하며 홉 수가 증가할수록 이와 같은 품질 저하는 더욱 심각해진다. 무선 멀티 홉 네트워크에서 QoS를 보장하기 위해 IEEE 802.11e에서는 우선순위가 높은 노드에게 정해진 시간 동안 연속해서 보낼 수 있도록 TXOP(Transmission Opportunity) 파라미터 값을 정해놓고 있다. 하지만 IEEE 802.11e는 단일 홉 네트워크를 가정하여 설계되었기 때문에 멀티 홉 무선 환경에서 홉 수의 증가에 따른 지연 및 손실 증가를 고려하지 않는다. 본 논문에서는 멀티 홉 환경에서의 QoS 지원을 위한 DTA (Dynamic TXOP Allocation) 메커니즘을 제안하였다. DTA 메커니즘은 네트워크 상황을 고려한 동적 TXOP 할당 기법으로, 각 노드의 전송 큐 상태와 종단간 전송 지연 비율을 판별하여 이에 따른 QoS 지원을 위한 동적 TXOP를 할당한다. 이를 통해 불안정한 채널 상태 및 멀티 홉 환경에서 홉 수 증가에 따른 성능 감소를 개선할 수 있었다.

현재 NGN 망에서 강조되는 QoS 보장 기술은 인터넷에서 QoS(Quality of Service) 제공을 위해 해당 응용 서비스 마다 자원을 예약하거나 할당하는 기능을 수행하며, 이 때, 효율적인 종단간의 QoS 보장을 위해서는 전체적으로 자원관리를 할 필요가 생긴다. 정책(Policy) 기반 QoS 기술 관리는 이 경우에 수행이 된다. NGN 망에서의 정책 기반 QoS 기술을 위해서는 정책 기반 QoS 관리 기술 구조 및 프로토콜에 대한 총괄적인 이해가 우선되어야 한다. 즉, 정책 결정 및 정책 실행과 관련한 정책 기반 QoS 관리 기술 구조와 프로토콜 관련한 COPS(Common Open Policy Service)와 LDAP(Light Weight Directory Access Protocol)을 중심으로 이해가 되어야 하고, 이를 토대로 해서 정책 기반 QoS 관리 기술 서비스가 제공 될 수 있다.

The flow label field in IPv6 has been proposed to provide the QoS. Since the existing flow label specification scheme like random-number format utilizes the label only as the identifier of flow, it is not appropriate for providing differentiated services according to the characteristics of various types of real-time traffic. This paper proposes a hybrid scheme that makes use of the flow label fields as components of flow and QoS parameters as well. To be specific, this paper investigates a scheme that both guarantees the end-to-end service quality and utilizes efficiently backbone resources by allowing users to specify QoS parameters using flow labels. Assuming an MLPS-TE network as the backbone, we compare the performance of our proposed scheme with that of random-number scheme through simulation. The simulation result shows that our scheme is more efficient than the existing one in terms of the transmission rate as well as the resource utilization of the backbone.

최근 들어 멀티미디어를 지원하는 응용들의 서비스 품질 보장과 멀티캐스트 지원에 대한 요구가 증가되고 있으나 기존의 멀티캐스트 프로토콜로는 이러한 요구를 수용할 수 없는 문제가 발생하고 있다. 현재 인터넷에서 사용되고 있는 라우팅 메커니즘은 네트워크 자원 정보나 세션의 QoS 요구사항을 고려하지 않고 단순히 종단간의 연결에만 초점을 맞추고 있기 때문이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 멀티캐스트 환경에서 서비스 품질보장을 지원하기 위한 새로운 프로토콜, LayeredQoS을 제안한다. 다중의 CP (Central Point)를 채택하고 각각의 CP에 적절한 QoS 레벨을 부여하여 사용함으로써 대역폭의 공유정도를 높일 뿐만 아니라 전체 트리 비용을 감소시켜 궁극적으로 네트워크 처리량이 증가되도록 하였다. 또한 시뮬레이션 방법을 통하여 다른 프로토콜보다 나은 성능을 가지는 것으로 평가하였다.Abstract Many emerging multimedia applications often require a guaranteed quality of service and multicast connection. But the traditional multicast protocol can't meet the needs since the routing mechanisms deployed in today's Internet are focused on connectivity, not on resource availability in the network or QoS requirements of flows. In this paper, we present LayeredQoS, a new QoS-based multicast routing algorithm. We adopt the multiple CPs(Central Points) and allocate QoS-levels for each CP in order to improve the degree of resource sharing and decrease the total tree cost, and then network throughput is increased. The proposed protocol is verified by simulations and it is shown that the performance of LayeredQoS is much better than the existing protocols.
