Supporting quality of service (QoS) guarantees for diverse multimedia services are the primary concerns for WiMAX (IEEE 802.16) networks. A scheduling scheme that satisfies QoS requirements has become more important for wireless communications. We propose a downlink scheduling scheme called adaptive priority-based downlink scheduling (APDS) for providing QoS guarantees in IEEE 802.16 networks. APDS comprises two major components: Priority assignment and resource allocation. Different service-type connections primarily depend on their QoS requirements to adjust priority assignments and dispatch bandwidth resources dynamically. We consider both starvation avoidance and resource management. Simulation results show that our APDS methodology outperforms the representative scheduling approaches in QoS satisfaction and maintains fairness in starvation prevention.

ATM networks support diverse traffic types with different service requirement such as data, voice, video and image. This paper analyzes a dynamic priority queue to satisfy Quality of Service (QoS) requirements of traffic. to consider the burstiness of traffic, we assume the arrival to be a Markovian arrival process(MAP) . Performance measures such as loss and delay are derived, Finally, some numerical results show the performance of the system.

In this paper, an efficient Adaptive quality-of-service (QoS) traffic control scheme with priority scheduling is proposed for the multimedia traffic transmission over wireless access networks. The objective of the proposed adaptive QoS control (AQC) scheme is to realize end-to-end QoS, to be scalable without the excess signaling process, and to adapt dynamically to the network traffic state according to traffic flow characteristics. Here, the reservation scheme can be used over the wireless access network in order to get the per-flow guarantees necessary for implementation of some kinds of multimedia applications. The AQC model is based on both differentiated service model with different lier hop behaviors and priority scheduling one. It consists of several various routers, access points, and bandwidth broker and adopts the IEEE 802.1 le wireless radio technique for wireless access interface. The AQC scheme includes queue management and packet scheduler to transmit class-based packets with different per hop behaviors (PHBs). Simulation results demonstrate effectiveness of the proposed AQC scheme.

A new medium access control (MAC) scheme embedding physical channels into multiband carrier sense multiple access/collision avoidance (CSMA/CA) networks is proposed to provide strict quality of service (QoS) guarantee to high priority users. In the proposed scheme, two priority classes of users, primary and secondary users, are supported. For primary users physical channels are provided to ensure strict QoS, whereas secondary users are provided with best-effort service using CSMA/CA modified for multiband operation. The performance of the proposed MAC scheme is investigated using a new multiband CSMA/CA Markov chain model capturing the primary user activity and the operation of secondary users in multiple bands. The throughput of secondary users is obtained as a function of the primary user activity and other CSMA/CA parameters. It is shown that the new MAC scheme yields larger throughput than the conventional single-band CSMA/CA when both schemes use the same bandwidth.

WBAN(Wireless Body Area Networks)은 인체를 기준으로 인체 내 외부로부터 반경 3미터 이내의 무선통신이다. WBAN은 WBAN MAC 프로토콜 요구사항에 적합한 IEEE 802.15.4 MAC 프로토콜을 많이 사용하고 있다. IEEE 802.15.4 MAC 프로토콜은 QoS(Quality of Service)를 요구하는 응용프로그램들의 패킷 전송을 보장하기 위해 비경쟁 접근 방식에 의한 GTS(Guaranteed Time Slot) 할당 기법을 지원한다. 그러나 IEEE 802.15.4 MAC 프로토콜의 GTS 할당 기법은 패킷이 도착한 순서에 따라 채널을 할당하는 FIFS(First In First Service) 큐잉을 사용하여 패킷을 처리함으로서 데이터 전송 신뢰도를 저하시키고, 전송 지연이 발생하여 응급 데이터 전송에 적합하지 않다. 이에 본 논문에서는 응급 데이터 전송을 위한 우선순위 기반 WBAN MAC 프로토콜을 제안한다. 제안하는 MAC 프로토콜은 전송하려는 데이터에 우선순위를 부여하여 응급 데이터의 GTS 요청 처리율을 높이고 GTS 할당 지연시간을 감소시켜 응급 데이터 전송 신뢰도를 향상시킨다.

최근 ATM 포럼에서 승인한 GFR(Guaranteed Frame Rate) 서비스는 ATM 망에서 TCP/IP 트래픽을 효율적으로 서비스하는 중요한 서비스가 될 것으로 기대된다. GFR 서비스는 프레임 단계에서 최소 대역 서비스를 보장할 뿐 아니라 가용 대역을 공평하게 사용하도록 지원한다. 본 논문에서는 GFR 서비스를 위한 새로운 셀 스케쥴링 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안된 알고리즘은 VC에 우선순위를 제공하고 버퍼에 있는 좀더 서비스를 받지 못한 셀에 좀더 높은 우선순위를 부여한다. 높은 우선순위의 VC들은 낮은 우선순위의 VC들 보다 더 많은 서비스를 받는다. 제안된 알고리즘은 GFR VC에 MCR 보장과 공평 대역 공유를 제공할 수 있다. 시뮬레이션 결과는 제안된 셀 스케줄링 알고리즘이 TCP 출력과 공평성 면에서 기존의 알고리즘 보다 우수한 성능을 제공함을 보여주고 있다.

Backoff mechanism serves as one of the key technologies in the MAC-layer of wireless mobile networks. The traditional Binary Exponential Backoff (BEB) mechanism in IEEE 802.11 Distributed Coordination Function (DCF) and other existing backoff mechanisms poses several performance issues. For instance, the Contention Window (CW) oscillations occur frequently; a low delay QoS guarantee cannot be provided for real-time transmission, and services with different priorities are not differentiated. For these problems, we present a novel Multi-Priority service differentiated and Adaptive Backoff (MPAB) algorithm over IEEE 802.11 DCF for wireless mobile networks in this paper. In this algorithm, the backoff stage is chosen adaptively according to the channel status and traffic priority, and the forwarding and receding transition probability between the adjacent backoff stages for different priority traffic can be controlled and adjusted for demands at any time. We further employ the 2-dimensional Markov chain model to analyze the algorithm, and derive the analytical expressions of the saturation throughput and average medium access delay. Both the accuracy of the expressions and the algorithm performance are verified through simulations. The results show that the performance of the MPAB algorithm can offer a higher throughput and lower delay than the BEB algorithm.

Offering of different attractive opportunities by different wireless technologies trends the convergence of heterogeneous networks for the future wireless communication system. To make a seamless handover among the heterogeneous networks, the optimization of the power consumption, and optimal selection of interface are the challenging issues. The access of multi interfaces simultaneously reduces the handover latency and data loss in heterogeneous handover. The mobile node (MN) maintains one interface connection while other interface is used for handover process. However, it causes much battery power consumption. In this paper we propose an efficient interface selection scheme including interface selection algorithms, interface selection procedures considering battery power consumption and user mobility with other existing parameters for overlaying networks. We also propose a priority based network selection scheme according to the service types. MN‘s battery power level, provision of QoS/QoE and our proposed priority parameters are considered as more important parameters for our interface selection algorithm. The performances of the proposed scheme are verified using numerical analysis.

In this paper, we propose the enhanced priority control algorithm that adaptively controls the cell service ratio according to the relative cell occupancy ratio of buffer. The asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) provides the means to support various multimedia services in broadband networks. To support multimedia services, various data traffics of different priorities should be controlled effectively. And also it needs congestion control functions required in the netowrk to carry out the control operation. To accomplish this in a flexible and effective manner, priority classes for the different services ar ecommonly used. The proposed enhanced priority control mechanism have two service calsses of the delay sensitive class and the loss sensitive class. The simulation results show that te proposed control mechanism improves the QoS, the charateristics of cell loss probability and mean cell delay time, by selecting propeor relativ ecell occupancy ratio of buffer and the average arrival rate.
