As a new service category to better support TCP traffic in ATM networks, the Guaranteed Frame Rate (GFR) service category aims to support minimum cell rate guarantee, fairly distribute available bandwidth while keeping the simplicity of Unspecified Bit Rate (UBR). In this paper, we proposed a buffer management scheme which uses the per-VC accounting of single FWO queue and capable of supporting both GFR.1 and GFR.2 conformance definition. The proposed buffer management deal with GFR.1 and GFR.2 conformance definitions differentially by controlling the number of CLP=0 cell and CLP=1 cell which are occupying buffer space. The simulation results show that our proposed scheme satisfies the requirements of GFR services as well as improves total fairness index and each conformance definition fairness index.

In this paper, we propose the dynamic bandwidth allocation algorithm for the IEEE802.3ah Ethernet Passive Optical Network(EPON) system to provide the fairness among terminals, and evaluate the delay-throughput performance by simulation. For the conventional EPON systems, an Optical Line Termination (OLT) schedules the upstream bandwidth for each Optical Network Unit (ONU), based on its buffer state. This scheme can provide a fair bandwidth allocation for each ONU. However, it has a critical problem that it does not guarantee the fair bandwidth among terminals which are connected to ONUs. For an example, we assume that the traffic from a greedy terminal increases at a time. Then, the buffer state of its ONU is instantly reported to the OLT, and finally the OW can get more bandwidth. As a result, the less bandwidth is allocated to the other ONUs, and thus the transfer delay of terminals connected to the ONUs gets inevitably increased. Noting that this unfairness problem exists in the conventional EPON systems, we propose a fair bandwidth allocation scheme by OLT with considering the buffer state of ONU as welt as the number of terminals connected it. For the performance evaluation, we develop the EPON simulation model with SIMULA simulation language. From the result of the throughput-delay performance and the dynamics of buffer state along time for each terminal and ONU, respectively, one can see that the proposed scheme can provide the fairness among not ONUs but terminals. Finally, it is worthwhile to note that the proposed scheme for the public EPON systems might be an attractive solution for providing the fairness among subscriber terminals.

PON(Passive Optical Network) is the promising technology applicable to TPS(Triple Play Service). To improve process the packet, MAC(Multiple Access Control) is the most important technology in the PON. The core of MAC is DBA(Dynamic Bandwidth Assignment), it classifies SR-DBA(Status Report DBA) and NSR-DBA(Non Status Report DBA). But GPON DBA is using BPON's DBA, so it's bad in network efficiency. This study develop BR(Borrow-Refund)-DBA for improve network efficiency and prompt process. For take the gauge of performance evaluation, estimate about throughput, fairness and queue delay in SR-DBA and NSR-DBA environment

Packet-switched wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) ring networks have been extensively studied as solutions to the increasing amount of traffic in metropolitan area networks, which is widely expected to be a mix of unicast and multicast traffic. In this paper we study the fairness between unicasting and multicasting in slotted packet-switched WDM ring networks that employ a tunable transmitter and fixed tuned receiver at each node and a posteriori buffer selection. We find that single-step longest queue selection algorithm generally results in unfairness between unicasting and multicasting or a lilted relative priority for multicast vs. unicast traffic. We present the various virtual output queue structures and their performance.

Recently, multimedia data service using mobile terminal has been increased according to the development of wireless network technology which can be used in an indoor or outdoor environment. However, the wireless network shares the channel and it has a high error rate because of characteristics of transmission media. Therefore, it has a lot of problems for guaranteeing QoS(Quality of Services) in various requirements. This paper suggests a CSD-WRR(Channel State Dependent-WRR) method for compensating the service rate considering the transmission deadline. Simulation results show that the suggested method outperforms the conventional WRR in the view of the deadline miss rate and fairness.

Device-to-device (D2D) communication underlaying cellular networks can bring significate benefits for improving the performance of mobile services. However, it hinges on elaborate resource sharing scheme to coordinate interference between cellular users and D2D pairs. We formulate a joint mode selection, link allocation and power control optimization problem for D2D communication sharing uplink resources in a multi-user cellular network and consider the efficiency and the fairness simultaneously. Due to the non-convex difficulty, we propose a three-step scheme: firstly, we conduct mode selection for D2D pairs based on a minimum distance metric after an admission control and obtain some cellular candidates for them. And then, a cellular candidate will be paired to each D2D pair based on fairness. Finally, we use Lagrangian Algorithm to formulate a joint power control strategy for D2D pairs and their reused cellular users and a closed-form of solution is derived. Simulation results demonstrate that our proposed algorithms converge in a short time. Moreover, both the sum rate of D2D pairs and the energy efficiency of cellular users are improved.

In this paper, we investigate the scheduling and power allocation for coordinated multi-point transmission in downlink long term evolution advanced (LTE-A) systems, where orthogonal frequency division multiple-access is used. The proposed scheme jointly optimizes user selection, power allocation, and modulation and coding scheme (MCS) selection to maximize the weighted sum throughput with fairness consideration. Considering practical constraints in LTE-A systems, the MCSs for the resource blocks assigned to the same user need to be the same. Since the optimization problem is a combinatorial and non-convex one with high complexity, a low-complexity algorithm is proposed by separating the user selection and power allocation into two subproblems. To further simplify the optimization problem for power allocation, the instantaneous signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) and the average SINR are adopted to allocate power in a single cell and multiple coordinated cells, respectively. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme can improve the average system throughput and the cell-edge user throughput significantly compared with the existing schemes with limited feedback.

Recently, the high-speed Internet users increase rapidly and broadband networks have been widely deployed. However, the current TCP congestion control algorithm was designed for relatively narrowband network environments, and thus its performance is inefficient for traffic transport in broadband networks. To remedy this problem, the TCP having an enhanced congestion control algorithm is required for broadband networks. In this paper, we propose an improved TCP congestion control that can sufficiently utilize the large available bandwidth in broadband networks. The proposed algorithm predicts the available bandwidth by using ACK information and RTT variation, and prevents large packet losses by adjusting congestion window size appropriately. Also, it can rapidly utilize the large available bandwidth by enhancing the legacy TCP algorithm in congestion avoidance phase. In order to evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm, we use the ns-2 simulator. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm improves not only the utilization of the available bandwidth but also RTT fairness and the fairness between contending TCP flows better than the HSTCP in high bandwidth delay product network environment.

Next-generation wireless networks are expected to support a wide range of services, including high-rate data applications, Various service types request differentiated QoSs(Qualities of Service) such as minimum data rate, accuracy, fairness and so on. Although resources of radio systems are limited, for many applications, it is important that certain QoS targets are required to be met. In this paper, we propose a QoS based scheduling algorithm for next generation systems, based on analyzing previous researches, and we develop the proposed QoS algorithm only for MIMO(multi-Input Multi-Output) systems. Moreover, we subsequently prove that the proposed algorithm optimize throughput relative to prespecified target values and converge to certain throughput.

UMTS(Universal Mobile Telecommunication System) is recently recognized as a standard for 3rd generation of wireless networks and DSCH(Down-link Shared Chanel) is considered as a very effective multiplexing method in UMTS. So, it is inevitable to develope an effective packet scheduling algorithms for DSCH in UMTS. This paper describes an improved packet scheduling algorithm for DSCH of UMTS. The algorithm takes consideration in channel state for each mobile terminal to maximize link utilization, delay threshold for class 3 traffic and throughput for class 4 to get long term fairness. To verify the algorithm, we programmed a simulator using PARSEC simulation tool and got some simulation results by it. The simulation results show that the algorithm has reasonable characteristics in both of link utilization and fair-ness by trade-off.
