An Ethernet PON(Passive Optical Network) is an economical and efficient access network that has received significant research attention in recent years. A MAC(Media Access Control) protocol of PON , the next generation access network, is based on TDMA(Time Division Multiple Access) basically and can classify this protocol into a fixed length slot assignment method suitable for leased line supporting QoS(Quality of Service) and a variable length slot assignment method suitable for LAN/MAN with the best effort. For analyzing the performance of these protocols, we design an Ethernet PON model using OPNET tool. To establish the maximum efficiency of a network, we verify a MAC protocol and determine the optimal number of ONUs(Optical Network Unit) that can be accepted by one OLT(Optical Line Terminal) and propose the suitable buffer size of ONU based on analyzing the end-to-end Ethernet delay, queuing delay, throughput, and utilization.

MAC protocol for WBAN performs CSMA/CA(:Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance)algorithm that handles traffic which occurs in emergency with top priority in order to deal with variable data of sensor node for medicine. Emergency message that node sends undergoes collision and delay of transmission by retransmission of emergency message and waste of energy by retransmission. This paper suggests algorithm that minimizes loss of frame caused by collision and applies different backoff parameters by setting order of priority between MAC instruction frame and data frame in CSMA/CA algorithm case which applies order of priority queuing to improve aforementioned problem. According to performance evaluation, it has been found that using suggested MAC protocol showed lower collision probability, higher packet transmission processing ratio and lower packet loss compared with using IEEE 802.15.6.

Network coding is a promising technology that increases the system throughput via reducing the number of transmission for a packet delivered from the source node to the destination node. Nevertheless, it suffers from the metrics of end-to-end delay. Network Coding scheme takes more processing delay which occurs as coding node encodes (XOR) a certain number of packets that relayed by the coding node, and more queuing delay which occurs as a packet waits for other packets to be encoded with. Therefore, in this paper, we analyze the dependency of the queuing delay to the arrival rate of each packet. In addition, we analyze and compare the delay in DCF without XOR and DCF with XOR under dynamic traffic.

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%.

In this paper, for continuous media access operations performed by Clustered Continuous Media Storage Server (CCMSS) system, we present the analytical model based on the open queueing network, which considers simultaneously two critical delay factors, the disk I/O and the internal network, in the CCMSS system. And we derive by using the analytical model the stochastic model for the total service delay time in the system. Next, we propose the integrated stochastic admission control model for the CCMSS system, which estimate the maximum number of admittable service requests at the allowable service failure rate by using the derived stochastic model and apply the derived number of requests in the admission control operation. For the performance evaluation of the proposed model, we evaluated the deadline miss rates by means of the previous stochastic model considering only the disk I/O and the propose stochastic model considering the disk I/O and the internal network, and compared the values with the results obtained from the simulation under the real cluster-based distributed media server environment. The evaluation showed that the proposed admission control policy reflects more precisely the delay factors in the CCMSS system.

This paper presents the service handling schemes of an intelligent peripheral(IP) which provides the service function as a physical entity in the intelligent network. Four service request handling scheme are compared for and IP which can handle both ordinary requests and prioritized requests on the blocked-call-delayed basis. Delayed requests are assumed to be stored in a finite storage buffer. Scheme-I exclusively allows prioritized requests be stored and to use a fixed number of reserved servers. The other three schemes without reserved servers(Scheme-II.III,and IV) allow both types of requests to be stored and prioritized requests pushout ordinary requests if the buffer is full. For these four schemes, the blocking probabilities and delay distributions of both types of requests are numerically obtained. From the numericall results, the schemes without reserved servers reduce the blocking probability of ordinary requists without a severe penalty on proritized requests. For three schemes without reserved servers, it is noted that prioritized requests should br served on the first-in, first-out basis, and ordinary requests should be served on the last-in, first-out basis.

WFQ(Weighted Fair Queuing) is the most popular fair queuing algorithm to guarantee the Quality-of-Service(QoS), but it has the inherent drawback of a poor resource utilization, particularly under the low rate traffic requiring a tight delay bound. It was recently identified that the poor utilization is mainly due to non-optimized latency of a traffic flow and then LOFQ(Latency-Optimized Fair Queuing) to overcome the drawback was introduced. The LOFQ algorithm, however, renews their optimal latencies for all flows whenever a new flow arrives, which results in the high implementation complexity of O($N^2$).This paper is to reduce thecomplexity to O(1). The proposed method is first to derive the optimal latency index function from the statistical QoS characteristics of the offered load, and then to simply calculate the optimal latency index of the arriving flow using the function.

This paper proposes a call admission control scheme for delay guarantee in the wireless mesh networks. The admission of a new call is determined based on the expected delay inferred from the class level available bandwidth at nodes on the path. All nodes under the effects of the new call are considered in designing the call admission control scheme to maintain the delay guarantee of the pre-existing traffic. An effective technique for estimating the available bandwidth of the neighbor nodes is proposed with no addition of message interchanges. The class-level delay control is mainly performed by the queueing discipline while keeping the MAC operation simple. Simulations are performed to show the validity of the proposals. We observe acceptable performances in delay expectation with the addition of new calls. We also show that the proposed call admission control is helpful in guaranteeing the delay performances.

It is important issue for software architects to estimate performance of software in the early phase of the development process due to the need to verify non-functional requirements and estimation of performance in various stages of architectural design. In order to analyze performance of software, there are many approaches to translate software architecture represented by Unified Modeling Language, into analytical models. However, in the development of agent-based systems, these approaches ignore or simplify the crucial details of the underlying performance of the agent platform. In this paper, we propose performance prediction methodology for agent based system using formal semantic descriptions, and then, we transform the descriptions into queuing network model which model reflects performance of hardware and software platform. We prove the accuracy of proposed methodology using prototype implementation. The accuracy is summarized at 80%.

Generalized Processor Sharing(GPS) model provides instantaneous fair services to currently backlogged sessions. Since this fair service distributes server capacity to backlogged sessions in proportion to their weights, the fairness is only valid between the sessions serviced at the same time. From the long time view, however, this fair service provides different server capacity with one session or another, even if these sessions have the same weights. This paper proposes a cumulative fair service(CFS) model to provide fair server capacity to all sessions in the long time view. This model provides fair service in session Viewpoint because it distributes server capacity in proportion to the weights of sessions. The model and an algorithm referencing that model are analyzed for their properties and performances. Performance evaluations verify that the proposed algorithm provides proportional service capacity to sessions in the long time view.
