High data rates in long-term evolution (LTE) networks can affect the mobility of networks and their performance. The speed and motion of user equipment (UE) can compromise seamless connectivity. However, a proper handover (HO) decision can maintain quality of service (QoS) and increase system throughput. While this may lead to an increase in complexity and operational costs, self-optimization can enhance network performance by improving resource utilization and user experience and by reducing operational and capital expenditure. In this study, we propose the self-optimization of HO parameters based on fuzzy logic control (FLC) and multiple preparation (MP), which we name FuzAMP. Fuzzy logic control can be used to control self-optimized HO parameters, such as the HO margin and time-to-trigger (TTT) based on multiple criteria, viz HO ping pong (HOPP), HO failure (HOF) and UE speeds. A MP approach is adopted to overcome the hard HO (HHO) drawbacks, such as the large delay and unreliable procedures caused by the break-before-make process. The results of this study show that the proposed method significantly reduces HOF, HOPP, and packet loss ratio (PLR) at various UE speeds compared to the HHO and the enhanced weighted performance HO parameter optimization (EWPHPO) algorithms.

In this paper, we propose a buffer management scheme suitable for interactive multimedia services. We consider a typical delay optimization environment so that receiver buffer lengths vary according to the round trip time estimation. In this environment, we propose an optimization technique for minimizing the loss of information that may occur when a reduced buffer length forces I/P/B frames in the buffer to drop. We modeled our problem as a Knapsack Problem for which we used dynamic programing in order to find an approximate solution. The proposed technique is compared with the existing buffer management techniques. Through simulation studies, we found that our approach could increase PSNR, which is important to video quality.

Because a packet loss brings about degradation of speech quality, VoIP speech coders have PLC (Packet Loss Concealment) mechanism. G.711, which is a mandatory VoIP speech coder, also has the PLC algorithm based on pitch period replication. However, it is not robust to burst losses. Thus, we propose two methods to improve the performance of the original PLC algorithm in G.711. One adaptively utilizes voiced/unvoiced information of adjacent good frames regarding to the current lost frame. The other is based on adaptive gain control according to energy variation across the frames. We evaluate the performance of the proposed PLC algorithm by measuring a PESQ value under different random and burst packet loss simulating conditions. It is shown from the experiments that the performance of the proposed PLC algorithm outperforms that of PLC employed in ITU-T Recommendation G.711.

Because a wireless ad hoc network does not have fixed infrastructure, a call admission control approach researched in a wireless network is not feasible to this network. In this paper, we propose call admission control scheme to support this problem and the burst handoff traffic due to group mobility in a wireless ad hoc network. This scheme is an adaptive guard channel scheme which adapt the number of guard channels in each MBS(mobile base station) according to the current estimate of the potential handoff call rate derived from the number of ongoing calls within the coverage area of an MBS that initiate group handoff in a wireless ad hoc network. Our simulation studies are performed for comparisons of the proposed scheme with the other channel allocation schemes. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme efficiently reduces handoff call blocking probability in wireless ad hoc networks.

In this paper we show the performance of the network-adaptive high-definition scalable video streaming using QWLAN board with IEEE 802.11e MAC monitoring and control. Realtime collected MAC parameters are used to determine which video data is extracted for the predicted available bandwidth. To achieve performance, extraction through R-D is proposed instead of the standard video packet extraction. It is shown through experiments that streaming video quality can be enhanced by fast adaptation to network conditions by using the proposed method.
