H.264 decoders usually have pipeline architecture by a macroblock or a 4 ${\times}$ 4 sub-block. The period of the pipeline is usually fixed to guarantee the operation in the worst case which results in many idle cycles and higher data bandwidth. Adaptive pipeline architecture for H.264 decoders has been proposed for efficient decoding and lower the requirement of the bandwidth for the memory bus. However, it requires a controller for the adaptive priority control to utilize the advantage. We propose a smart bus arbiter that replaces the controller. It is introduced to adjust the priority adaptively the QoS (Quality of Service) control of the decoding process. The smart arbiter can be integrated the arbiter of bus systems and it works when certain conditions are met so that it does not affect the original functions of the arbiter. An H.264 decoder using the proposed architecture is designed and implemented to verify the operation using an FPGA.

In this paper we present a theoretical framework for the network design with delay QoS guarantee to a voice at the packet level. Especially, we propose a method for estimating the bandwidth at the ingress edge routers accommodating the voice connections and data sessions in the next-generation If network. First, we describe network architecture for VoIP (Voice over IP) services in the NGN (Next Generation Network). After that, we propose a procedure for dimensioning the bandwidth at the output port of a router that accommodates voice and data traffic using the non-preemptive queuing system with strict priority service scheme. Via numerical experiments we illustrate the implication of the proposition.

In this paper, we deal with an effective dynamic bandwidth allocation(DBA) scheme in order to support the qualify of services (QoS) in the customer access network which supports various applications with own service requirements. we discuss the DBA scheme for upstream traffic in the EPON which support both the delay sensitive traffic such as voice and real-time video and non-real time traffic such as data and BE. We propose the new DBA scheme which guarantee the delay performance of the real time traffic and utilize the upstream bandwidth effectively in the limited resource environment. We analize the delay performance of the proposed scheme by simulation.

In this paper, we propose sliding mode congestion controller for differentiated-services network. Two important issue in differentiated-services architecture are bandwidth guarantee and fair sharing of unsubscribed bandwidth among TCP flows with and without bandwidth reservation. We use tight upper and lower bounds for various settings of differentiated-services parameters using the loss-bounded model. The Sliding mode congestion controller scheme is designed using nonlinear control theory based on a nonlinear model of the network that is generated using fluid flow consideration. The methodology used is general and independent of technology, as for example TCP/IP or ATM. The sliding mode congestion controller methodology has been applied to an TCP network. We use NS-2 simulation to demonstrate that the proposed control methodology achieves the desired behavior of the network, and possesses important attributes. as e.g, stable and robust behavior, high utilization with bounded delay and loss, together with good steady-state and transient behavior.

Recently there is a growing Interest In mobile cellula r network providing multimedia service. However, the link bandwidth of mobile cellular network is not sufficient enough to provide satisfactory services to use rs. To overcome this problem, an adaptive framework has been proposed in this study, we propose a new method of estimating DPR(degradation period ratio) in an adaptive multimedia network where the bandwidth of ongoing call can be dynamically adjusted during its lifetime. DPR is a QoS(quality of service) parameter which represents the ratio of allocated bandwidth below a pre-defined target to the whole service time of a call. We improve estimation method of DPR using DTMC(discrete time Markov chain) model. We also calculate mean degradation period and degradation probability more precisely than in existing studies. Under Threshold CAC(call admission control) algorithm, we present analytically how to guarantee QoS to users and illustrate the method by numerical examples. The proposed method is expected to be used as one of CAC schemes in guaranteeing predefined QoS level of DPR

Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) adaptive streaming has become a new trend in video delivery. An HTTP adaptive streaming client needs to effectively estimate resource availability and demand. However, due to the bitrate of the video encoded in variable bitrate (VBR) mode, a bitrate mismatch problem occurs. With the rising demand for mobile devices, the likelihood of cases where two or more HTTP adaptive streaming clients share the same network bottleneck and competing for available bandwidth will increase. These mismatch and competition issues lead to network congestion, which adversely affects the Quality of Experience (QoE). To solve these problem, we propose a video rate adaptation scheme for the HTTP video streaming to guarantee and optimize the QoE. The proposed scheme estimates the available bandwidth according to the bitrate of each segment and also schedules the segment request time to expedite the response to the bandwidth variation. We used a multi-client simulation to prove that our scheme can effectively cope with drastic changes in the connection throughput and video bitrate.

MAC (Medium Access Control) protocol is necessary for a OLT (Optical Line Termination) to allocate bandwidth to ONUs (Optical Network Units) dynamically in ATM PON (Passive Optical Network) operated in a kind of optical subscriber network having tree topology. The OLT collect information about ONUs and provide all permission with each ONU effectively by means of MAC protocol. Major functions of MAC protocol are composed of the algorism for distributing permission demanded by a ONU dynamically and allocation all permission used in APON properly. Sometimes MAC get to be a element of limiting the whole operation speed and occupy a most frequent operation part of the TC (Transmission Convergence) function module so it have to be designed to guarantee the best quality for each traffic. This paper introduce the way of implementation of a algorism which satisfy all of the upper renditions. This MAC algorism allocate bandwidth according to a number of working ONU and the information of the queue length dynamically and distribute permission for same interval to minimize delay variation of each ONU cell. MAC scheduler for the dynamic bandwidth allocation which is introduced in this paper has look-up table structure that makes programming possible. This structure is very suitable for implementation and operated in high speed because it require very simple and small chip size.

This paper proposes a systematic approach to the rate-based feedback control based on the supervisory control framework for discrete event systems. We design the supervisor to achieve the desired behavior for TCP wireless networks. From the analysis and simulation results, it is shown that the controlled networks guarantee the fair sharing of the available bandwidth and avoid the packet loss caused by the buffer overflow of TCP wireless networks.

This paper examines the use of a wireless Fieldbus based on IEEE 802.15.4 MAC protocol. The superframe of IEEE 802.15.4 is applied to a transmission scheme of real-time mixed data. The transmission and bandwidth allocation scheme are proposed for real-time communication using a superframe. The proposed wireless Fieldbus protocol is able to transmit three types of data (periodic data, sporadic data, and non real-time messages), and guarantee realtime transmission simultaneously within a limited timeframe.
