In an energy saving server cluster environment, the power modes of servers are controlled according to load situation, that is, by making ON only minimum number of servers needed to handle current load while making the other servers OFF. This algorithm works well under normal circumstances, but does not guarantee QoS under abnormal circumstances such as sharply rising or falling loads. This is because the number of ON servers cannot be increased immediately due to the time delay for servers to turn ON from OFF. In this paper, we propose a new prediction algorithm of the power consumption for improving QoS under not only normal but also abnormal circumstances. The proposed prediction algorithm consists of two parts: prediction based on the conventional time series analysis and prediction adjustment based on trend analysis. We performed experiments using 15 PCs and compared performance for 4 types of conventional time series based prediction methods and their modified methods with our prediction algorithm. Experimental results show that Exponential Smoothing with Trend Adjusted (ESTA) and its modified ESTA (MESTA) proposed in this paper are outperforming among 4 types of prediction methods in terms of normalized QoS and number of good reponses per power consumed, and QoS of MESTA proposed in this paper is 7.5% and 3.3% better than that of conventional ESTA for artificial load pattern and real load pattern, respectively.

This research suggests a monitoring method to support QoS of mobile multimedia services effectively based on information gathering. It means a method in which a subscriber's terminal collects information about its current condition and its surrounding base stations, and a base station, through the data collected by monitoring inner or adjacent base station, shares related data and converges, controlling QoS on its own. In other words, as context information of mobile terminal and base station changes, set-up of related functions and QoS mapping is adapted; each function fits into the change, exchanges the process of reorganization, and interacts; these actions go toward to satisfy service continuity.

In this paper we propose an agent architecture to improve the flexibility of videoconference systems with strategic-INTER knowledge. The proposed architecture achieves more flexibility by selecting dynamically the strategy of QoS (Quality of Service). To select the strategies, the systems have to take into the consideration of the properties of problems occurred on QoS and the status of problem solving process. This architecture is introduced as a part of knowledge base of agent dealing with cooperation between software modules of videoconference systems. We have implemented the architecture and our prototype system shows its capability of flexible problem solving against the QoS degradation, along with other possible problems within the time limitation. We confirmed that the proposed architecture can improve its flexibility of a videoconference system compared to conventional systems.

In this paper, we design the radio data link protocols with QoS provisioning for mobile multimedia such as voice, data, and video in CDMA-based ATM networks, and analyze the performance of the data link protocols. To support mobile multimedia traffic, the required QoS parameters and the characteristics are analyzed, and wireless protocol stacks are proposed for integrating the wireless access network and ATM transport networks, and radio data link protocols are designed for provisioning QoS Control. The data link protocols are analyzed assuming that the system is supporting voice and data traffic simultaneously. In case of data traffic, the delay and throughput of SREJ ARQ and Type-1 Hybrid ARQ scheme are compared, and in case of voice traffic, the packet loss rate of BCH coding is analyzed according to the varying data traffic loads. The results indicate that the adaptive radio link protocols are efficient to support QoS requirements while the complexities are increased.

This paper describes a hybrid QoS guarantee scheme for high quality audio streaming services on the Internet. The continuous playback of the audio data requires the isochronous transmission of the audio data packet through the Internet. In order to retain the QoS at the ultimate destination (client) as the same as servers provide, the transmission protocols should consider the error conditions such as packet loss, and out of order delivery. Generally, the protocols supporting the transmission of continuous media data do not try to recover the errors. The protocols are working somehow for the toll quality multimedia streaming services, but rot for the high quality streaming services, such as the DVD sound/music payback. The hybrid QoS guarantee scheme includes the three mechanisms to overcome the problem. The selective retransmission for the lost packet, the adaptive buffering at client-side, and the adaptive transmission rate at server-side are totally adopted to recover the packet loss with the minimal overhead, to prevent from the buffer starvation during the retransmission, and to maintain the isochronous transmission even after the retransmission. The experiments have shown good results for the high Quality audio streaming services on the Internet.

In this paper, we propose the AMBM(: Adaptive Multi-channel Backoff Machisum) -Mac protocol to provide high throughput for non-safety applications in VANET(: Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks) environment. The proposed protocol guarantees the quality of service of non-safety packets by dynamically adjusting CW(: Channel Window) of WSA(: WAVE Service Advertisement) to maximize throughput between non-safety packets of different priority. It also shows that allocating a large amount of time for channel coordination and time slot reservation for SC and dynamically adjusting CW and CCI as nodes increase to reduces transmission delay than IEEE 1609.9, C-MAC(: Coordinated multi-channel MAC, and Q-VCI(: QoS Variable CCH Interval) protocols.

Although the proliferation of real-time multimedia services over the Internet might indicate its successfulness in dealing with heterogeneous environments, it is obvious, on the other hand, that the internet now has to cope with a flood of multimedia data which consumes most of network communication channels due to a great deal of video or audio streams. Therefore, for the purpose of an efficient and appropriate utilization of network resources, it requires to develop and deploy a new scalable transmission technique n consideration of respective network environment and individual clients computing power. Also, we can eliminate the waste effects of storage device and data transmission overhead in that the same video stream duplicated according to QoS. The purpose of this paper is to develop a technology that can adjust the amount of data transmitted as an MPEG video stream according to its given communication bandwidth, and technique that can reflect dynamic bandwidth while playing a video stream. For this purpose, we introduce a media scalable media decomposer working on server side, and a scalable media composer working o n a client side, and then propose a scalable transmission method and a media sender and a media receiver in consideration of dynamic QoS. Those methods proposed her can facilitate an effective use of network resources, and provide multimedia MPEG video services in real-time with respect to individual client computing environment.

It is aware that Bandwidth management with dramatically increasing traffic on account of frequent and large file transmission in a data grid environment is one of essential needs. A this paper we propose new method which guarantees QoS (Quality of Service) by being in control of resources in TCP layer based on existing studies that manage bandwidth over TCP buffer tuning. General QoS solutions manage network resources subsequent to observing them in IP or link layer, but the scheme in the paper is able to control network resources in TCP layer that is network upper layer. Consequently, bandwidth allocation to each user can be efficiently controlled depending on an authority each user is given so that users could be use different bandwidth. It is expected that a new paradigm is supposed in network resource management and the method of levies for users' bandwidth uses.

동적 전압 조정(DVS)은 모바일 환경에서 프로세서에서의 전력 소모를 줄일 수 있는 가장 효율적인 방법으로 많은 연구가 진행중이다 또한 MPEG 디코딩은 모바일 기기에서 가장 중요하고 또한 전력 소모가 큰 어플리케이션 중 하나이다. 본 논문에서는 모바일 환경에 적합한 MPEG 디코더를 DVS를 이용하여 구현하였고 전력 소모를 측정하였다. 제안된 첫번째 DVS 알고리즘은 이전의 workload에 의해 다음 workload를 예측하여 전압을 조정하는 것이고, 두번째 알고리즘은 MPEG 프레임의 종류 및 크기를 이용하여 다음 프레임의 디코딩 시간을 예측 한 후 전압을 조절하는 것이다. 실험을 통하여 두번째 알고리즘에 의한 MPEG 디코더가 더 정확한 workload 예측을 통하여 QoS의 저하를 최소화하면서 전력 소모를 더 많이 줄일 수 있었다.

The QoS(Quality of Service) of VoD(Video on Demand) systems can be improved by reducing the faults that the stream service request from clients is rejected by the VoD server or lost during the service. This paper proposes a model of Dynamic Workload Balancer that can adjust the workload dynamically through the periodical monitoring of the VoD system, and so increase the throughput. The proposed model runs independently from the VoD system by adopting the agent concept. The model comprises the agency part interfacing the VoD system and the intelligence part reasoning or teaming the facts required for the adjustment of workload. An experiment of implementing a simulator was conducted to see whether or not application of the proposed model to VoD system is effective. As a result of the experiment, it was found that the throughput was relatively increased when the proposed model was applied compared to existing means.
