Cellular network applications are growing drastically and this requires a fast and efficient transport method between the base station and the mobile switching center. One possible solution is to use ATM links. The low data rate and small-sized packets in the typical cellular applications imply that significant amount of link bandwidth would be wasted, if this small sized packet is carried by one ATM cell. For efficient operation for such cellular and low bit rate applications, a new type of ATM Adaptation Layer, AAL Type 2, has been proposed. In this paper, the principles of AAL Type 2 are briefly described along with the introduction of other alternatives which have formed the basis for this new AAL. The result from the simulation to study the performance of the AAL Type 2 is discussed from the view point of packet delay and ATM cell use efficiency. Due to the variable size of packets in this application, the fairness issue in serving variable sized packets is also discussed along with the effect of fair queueing algorithm implemented at AAL Type 2.

본 논문에서는 ATM 망을 구성하고 있는 노드(node) 간의 셀(cell) 전송시에 출력 링크(output link)로 전송된 셀이 수신 노드에서 수행하는 UPC/NPC에 의해 손실되지 않는 트래픽 정형화기(shaper)를 제안한다. 제안한 정형화기는 비실시간 가변비트율(nrt-VBR) 트래픽을 대상으로 한 것으로 각 ATM 연결(connection)에 대해 독립된 큐(queue)를 할당하였으며, 출력 링크로 전송할 셀을 저장하고 있는 큐를 선정하기 위해 모든 큐에 대해 Generic Cell Rate Algorithm(GCRA)를 수행하여 큐의 상태를 결정하고, 그 결과 전송 가능 상태에 있는 모든 큐들을 대상으로 본 논문에서 제안한 시간의존 확률적 스케줄링(time-dependent probability scheduling) 알고리즘을 적용하여 특정 큐를 선택하여 셀을 전송한다. 제안한 정형화기의 성능평가를 위해 WRR(Weighted Round Robin) 스케줄링 알고리즘을 사용한 정형화기 및 WFQ(Weighted Fair Queueing) 스케줄링 알고리즘을 적용한 정형화기에 대한 모의실험을 하였으며, 그 결과 제안한 정형화기는 비실시간 가변비트율(nrt-VBR) 트래픽의 정형화(shaping)에 우수한 성능을 나타냄을 확인하였다.

HomePNA(Home Phoneline Networking Alliance)는 가정에서 전화선을 이용하여 2대 이상의 통신기기들을 서로 공유할 수 있도록 하는 네트웍 솔루션으로, HomePNA2.0은 기존의 HomePNAl.0과 호환성을 유지하면서도 10Mbps로 전송 가능한 새로운 규격이다. 1999년에 규격이 발표되었으며, CSMA/CD를 기반으로 한 DFPQ (Distribute Fair Priority Queueing)방식의 충돌해결 방법을 사용하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 기존 DFPQ에 기반을 둔 새로운 알고리즘을 제안하고, 기존 DFPQ와 비교 및 분석한다.

인터넷의 급속한 확산과 함께, 보다 나은 품질의 실시간, 멀티미디어 통신 서비스가 요구되고 있다. 하지만 인터넷은 모든 트래픽에 대해서 최선형 서비스만을 제공하기 때문에 모든 트래픽은 동일한 서비스 품질을 가지게 되므로 이러한 요구를 만족시킬 수 없다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해서 분류자, 패킷 스케쥴러, 수락 제어로 구현된 트래픽 제어부를 이용하는 인터넷 종합 서비스 모델이 제시되었다. 본 논문에서는 SCFQ(Self-Clocked Fair Queueing)스케쥴링 알고리즘을 사용한 라우터를 구현하였고, 실험을 통하여 실시간 트래픽의 성능을 분석하였다. 분석을 위해 기존의 인터넷 환경에서의 실시간 트래픽의 지연과 처리율을 측정하였고, 이를 스케쥴링 알고리즘이 구현된 시스템과 비교하였다.

DQDB(Distributed Queue Dual Bus) protocol, the IEEE 802.6 standard protocol for metropolitan area networks, does not fully take advantage of the capabilities of dual bus architecture. Although fairness in bandwidth distribution among nodes is improved when using so called the bandwidth balancing mechanism, the protocol requires a considerable amount of time to adjust to changes in the network load. Additionally, the bandwidth balancing mechanism leaves a portion of the available bandwidth unused. In a high-speed backbone network, each node may act as a bridge/ router which connects several LANs as well as hosts. However, Because the existence of high speed LANs becomes commonplace, the congestionmay occur on a node because of the limitation on access rate to the backbone network and on available buffer spaces. to release the congestion, it is desirable to install some congestion control algorithm in the node. In this paper, we propose an efficient congestion control mechanism and fair and waster-free MAC protocol for dual bus network. In this protocol, all the buffers in the network can be shared in such a way that the transmission rate of each node can be set proportional to its load. In other words, a heavily loaded node obtains a larger bandwidth to send the sements so tht the congestion can be avoided while the uncongested nodes slow down their transmission rate and store the incoming segments into thier buffers. this implies that the buffers on the network can be shared dynamically. Simulation results show that the proposed probotol significantly reduces the segment queueing delay of a heavily loaded node and segment loss rate when compared with original DQDB. And it enables an attractive high throughput in the backbone network. Because in the proposed protocol, each node does not send a requet by the segment but send a request one time in the meaning of having segments, the frequency of sending requests is very low in the proposed protocol. so the proposed protocol signigificantly reduces the segment queuing dely. and In the proposed protocol, each node uses bandwidth in proportion to its load. so In case of limitation of available buffer spaces, the proposed protocol reduces segment loss rate of a heavily loaded node. Bandwidth balancing DQDB requires the wastage of bandwidth to be fair bandwidth allocation. But the proposed DQDB MAC protocol enables fair bandwidth without wasting bandwidth by using bandwidth one after another among active nodes.

We propose a scheduling algorithm, Bandwidth Allocation Scheme (BAS), that guarantees bounded delay in a switching node. It is based on the notion of the GPS (Generalized Processor Sharing) mechanism, which has clarified the concept of fair queueing with a fluid-flow hypothesis of traffic modeling. The main objective of this paper is to determine the session-level weights that define the GPS sewer. The way of introducing and derivation of the so-called system equation' implies the approach we take. With multiple classes of traffic, we define a set of service curves:one for each class. Constrained to the required profiles of individual service curves for delay satisfaction, the sets of weights are determined as a function of both the delay requirements and the traffic parameters. The schedulability test conditions, which are necessary to implement the call admission control, are also derived to ensure the proposed bandwidth allocation scheme' be able to support delay guarantees for all accepted classes of traffic. It is noticeable that the values of weights are tunable rather than fixed in accordance with the varying system status. This feature of adaptability is beneficial towards the enhanced efficiency of bandwidth sharing.
