In this paper, we present a methodology for fast segment restoration under multiple simultaneous link failures in mesh-type MPLS networks. The salient feature of the methodology is that both resilience and QoS constraint conditions have been taken into account for fast segment restoration. For fast restoration, a sufficient condition for testing the existence of backup segments with guaranteed-resilience has been derived for a mesh-type MPLS network. The algorithms for constructing backup segments which can meet both resilience and QoS constraint conditions are then presented with illustrating examples. Finally, simulation has been done to show the efficiency of the proposed segment restoration algorithms.

This paper proposes a QoS policy for cellular networks which support the policy based network management scheme. The policy exploits the existing underlying DiffServ mechanism and the priority-based packet scheduler in order to provide the packets with different handling priority depending on their belonging traffic classes. The simulation results reveals the effectiveness of the proposed policy under the network congestion; it shows that the goodput of the real-time traffic is not affected at all in spite of the surge of the non real-time traffic.

This paper proposes a policy-based quality of service (QoS) management framework for adaptive routing decisions. We present an approach considering interior gateway protocol (IGP) for path discovery mechanisms and QoS-aware policies for configuring the network elements. The integration of the aforementioned modules into this policy-based network management (PBNM) system is demonstrated by conducting experiments in a real environment, the hellenic public administration network SYZEFXIS. These experiments combine different traffic conditioning mechanisms through event detectors, consider IP service level agreement mechanisms that interoperate with the PBNM system and analyze the enforcement of IGP and QoS policies. Finally, validation and measurement tools are used to prove the efficiency of this framework. It is shown that this architecture offers significantly increased performance and learning capabilities, while the PBNM system achieves adaptive QoS routing through automated configuration considering the avoidance of suboptimal routing issues or under-performance conditions of the network entities.

Since the guaranteed service quality(QoS) is spotlighted as a strategic competitive tool to Broadband Convergence Network(BcN) service providers, many scholars have dealt with QoS issues in the BcN environment. However, just a few researchers focus on end-users and most are lean toward service providers or technology itself. In this paper, therefore, we investigated how end-users could measure service quality in the BcN environment, and moreover, proposed the end-user oriented measurement guideline for BcN QoS. Through literature review and two surveys, four QoS dimensions and nineteen measurement items were derived from end-user's perspective. proposed QoS dimension and items would be utilized as meaningful tools for future BcN service.

3GPP에서는 단대단 QoS 보장을 위해 정책 기반 망 관리(PBNM:Policy-based Network Management) 방식을 적용할 것을 권고하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 3GPP에서 제시하는 핵심망 구조에 정책 기반 망 관리 기법 중 DiffServ를 적용해서 현재 DSCP(Differentiated Service Code Point)는 8bit 구성되어 있으나 그 중 6bit만 사용되고 있고, 사용하지 않는 이 2bit를 사용하여 DF(Default Forwarding), EF(Expedited Forwarding), AF(Assured Forwarding)의 DSCP에 Service Class Code Point를 부여해서 DiffServ를 서비스하는 망에서 동일한 Diffserv 정책을 설정해서 효율적인 QoS 기법을 제안하고자 한다.

In this paper, we consider a network optimization problem arising from the deployment of BcN access network. BcN convergence services requires that access networks satisfy QoS meausres. BcN services have two types of traffics : stream traffic and elastic traffic. Stream traffic uses blocking probability as a QoS measure, while elastic traffic uses delay factor as a QoS measure. Incorporating the QoS requirements, we formulate the problem as a nonlinear mixed-integer Programming model. The Proposed model seeks to find a minimum cost dimensioning solution, while satisfying the QoS requirement. We propose two local search heuristic algorithms for solving the problem, and develop a network design system that implements the developed heuristic algorithms. We demonstrate the computational efficacy of the proposed algorithm by solving a realistic network design problem.

기존의 데이터망과는 달리 B-ISDN은 데이터, variable-rate 비디오 등과 같은 bursty하고 variable bit rate를 갖는 트래픽원으로부터 smooth하고 constant bit rate를 갖는 트래픽원까지 광범위한 계층의 트래픽을 모두 수용해야만 한다. 게다가 이 망은 다양한 계층의 트래픽에게 일정 수준 이상의 품질, 즉 QoS(Quality of Service)를 보장해 주어야만 한다. 셀 손실이나 지연시간 그리고 지연시간 jittere등을 포함하는 QoS 성능척도들은 응용서비스 별로 서로 다를 것이고 특히 실시간(real-time) 응용 서비스를 지원하는 망에서의 QoS문제는 특별히 중요성을 더하게 된다. 따라서 통계적 다중화에 의해 얻어지는 망자원의 효율성을 확보하면서 end-to-end QoS 보장을 해주는 문제는 B-ISDN에서 매우 중요하나 아직 대부분 미해결 문제로 남아 있는 분야이다. 본 연구에서는 end-to-end 분석에 가장 큰 에로점으로 부각되는 multi-hop망 환경하에서 트래픽 분석에 초점을 맞추어 기존 연구결과등을 폭넓게 비교 분석하고 최근 연구 동향 및 추후 연구 사항을 제시하고자 한다.

In this paper, we consider broadband satellite systems using MF-TDMA(Multi-Frequency Time Division Multiple Access) scheme. First, we analyze return link, superframe structure, and QoS( Quality of Service) parameters in broadband satellite systems, and mathematically formulate the QoS-based optimal timeslot allocation problem as a nonlinear integer programming problem for broadband satellite systems with clear-sky and rain-fade satellite terminals, and multiple data classes. Next, we modify the proposed problem to solve it within in a fast time, and suggest the QoS-based optimal timeslot allocation scheme. Extensive simulation results show that the proposed scheme finds an optimal solution or a near optimal solution within 5ms at Pentium IV PC.

At present, deterioration in service quality, which caused by increased network traffic from a lot of users in the same network, makes smooth communication service difficult. In this paper, we present policy-based QoS management system for VoIP service in order to supply smooth VoIP service to users. The presented system can guarantee quality of VoIP service even in huge traffic situation, and makes it possible to operate whole network in an efficient manner.

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.
