Cognitive radio (CR) has emerged as one of effective methods to enhance the utilization of existing radio spectrum. Main principle of CR is that secondary users (SUs) are allowed to use the spectrum unused by primary users (PUs) without interfering PU's transmissions. In this paper, PUs operate on a slot-by-slot basis and SUs try to exploit the slots unused by PUs. We propose OSA protocols in the single channel and we propose an opportunistic spectrum access (OSA) protocols in the multi-channel cognitive radio networks with one control channel and several licensed channels where a slot is divided into contention phase and transmission phase. A slot is divided into reporting phase, contention phase and transmission phase. The reporting phase plays a role of finding idle channels unused by PUs and the contention phase plays a role of selecting a SU who will send packets in the data transmission phase. One SU is selected by carrier sense multiple access / collision avoidance (CSMA/CA) with request to send / clear to send (RTS/CTS) mechanism on control channel and the SU is allowed to occupy all remaining part of all idle channels during the current slot. For mathematical analysis, first we deal with the single-channel case and we model the proposed OSA media access control (MAC) protocol by three-dimensional discrete time Markov chain (DTMC) whose one-step transition probability matrix has a special structure so as to apply the censored Markov chain method to obtain the steady state distribution.We obtain the throughput and the distribution of access delay. Next we deal with the multi-channel case and obtain the throughput and the distribution of access delay by using results of single-channel case. In numerical results, our mathematical analysis is verified by simulations and we give numerical results on throughput and access delay of the proposed MAC protocol. Finally, we find the maximum allowable number of SUs satisfying the requirements on throughput and access delay.

This paper aims to implement RAN(Radio Access Network) transmission system that can reduce the transmission cost by installing between mobile base station and base station controller. This system can reduce the number of transmission links by sharing the transmission link that the mobile communication stations of various generation use separately. This also can classify the traffics non-sensitive to delay time, and then transfer them through Ethernet/IP network.

An Ethernet passive optical network (EPON) is a low-cost, high-speed solution to the bottleneck problem of a broadband access network. This paper analyzes the delay and the jitter performance of dynamic bandwidth allocation (DBA) schemes for differentiated services in EPONs. Especially, the average packet delay and the delay jitter of the expedited forwarding (EF) traffic class are compared, with consideration as to whether a cyclic or an interleaved polling scheme is superior. This performance evaluation reveals that the cyclic polling based DBA scheme provides constant and predictable average packet delay and improved jitter performance for the EF traffic class without the influence of load variations.

In this paper the performance evaluations on Asynchronous Transfer Mode(ATM) access node are performed in the ATM access network which consists of access node and channel. The performance factors of access node are Cell Loss Ratio(CLR), buffer capacity and delay time. Both the ATM cell-scale queueing model and burst-scale queueing model are considered as the traffic model of access node for various traffic types such as Constant Bit Rate(CBR), Variable Bit Rate(VBR) and random traffic in the ATM access networks. Based on these situations, the relation of CLR, buffer capacity and delay time is analyzed in the ATM access node.

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

In this paper, we propose an enhanced handoff support scheme based on network-based mobility management protocol, Proxy Mobile IPv6 (PMIPv6), which is actively standardized by the IETF NETLMM working group. By utilizing the dynamic virtual hierarchy network architecture between mobile access gateways (MAGs), the proposed scheme can support network scalability and reliability to wireless access network. In addition, we propose pre-authentication process based on the policy store (PS) to support a fast and seamless handoff. We evaluate the performance of the proposed scheme in terms of handoff delay and end-to-end delay thru computer simulation. Thru, various computer simulation results, we verified the superior performance of the proposed scheme by comparing with the results of other schemes.

Recently, there has been a growing interest in the use of WLAN technology due to its easy deployment, flexibility and so on. Examples of WLAN applications range from standard internet services such as Web access to real-time services with strict latency/throughput requirements such as multimedia video and voice over IP on wireless network environments. Fair and efficient distribution of the traffic loads among APs(Access Points) has become an important issue for improved utilization of WLAN. This paper focuses on an AP selection scheme for achieving better load balance, and hence increasing network resource utilization for each user on wireless network environments. This scheme makes use of active scan patterns and the network delay as main parameters of load measurement and AP selection. This scheme attempts to estimate the AP traffic loads by observing the up/down delay and utilize the results to maximize the link resource efficiency through load balancing. We compared the proposed scheme with the original SNR(Signal to Noise Ratio)-based scheme using the NS-2(Network Simulation.2). We found that the proposed scheme improves the throughput by 12.5% and lower the network up/down link delay by 36.84% and 60.42%, respectively. All in all, the new scheme can significantly increase overall network throughput and reduce up/down delay while providing excellent quality for voice and video services.

This paper proposes a discriminative collision resolution scheme for the wireless Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols to support the Quality of Service (QoS) requirements of real-time applications. Our scheme deals with access requests in different ways depending on their delay requirements. In our scheme, a Collision Resolution Period (CRP) is used to quickly resolve collisions for the delay sensitive traffic in order to support their delay requirements. Performance analysis and simulation results show that our algorithm may successfully meet the delay requirements of real time applications by reducing access delays and collisions.

Recent trends in internet access to the device network require that information be provided from anywhere in the enterprise. One then needs to integrate both device network protocol and data network protocol to realize Virtual Device Network (VDN). Interoperability between devices and equipments is essential to enhance the quality and the performance of VDN. LonWorks technology is incorporated as device network protocol for interoperability. VDN integrating both device network and data network has varying time delay. Inherent varying time delay of VDN can significantly degrade the reliability of Distributed Control System. This study investigates the transmission characteristics of VDN and s...

For future multimedia services, one of the most crucial issues is building an access network that can accommodate multimedia services in subscriber network. The VB5.2 interface of B-ISDN located between an access network and a service node allows dynamic allocation and release of ATM resources. The SG 13 of ITU-T is standardizing the B-BCC protocol, which is sequentially interworked with signaling protocols in the service node. To minimize a connection setup delay of the sequential interworking mode, we proposed the parallel interworking model in which the SN executes simultaneously the connection control protocol of VB5.2 interface and signaling protocol. We simulate two interworking models in terms of a connection setup delay and a completion ratio. The results of simulation show that our proposed parallel interworking model for the VB5.2 interface reduces the setup delay and has the similar completion ratio compared to the sequential interworking model. however, the connection setup delay of parallel interworking model becomes about seven tenths of that of the sequential interworking model and the improvement become larger as the arrival rate increased.
