In this paper, I evaluated the throughput of various multimedia traffic by using computer simulation over wireless LAN environment based on 802.11e MAC protocol. The number of mobile terminals which generate various traffic and have different Internet QoS varies to improve the reliability of performance evaluation by simulation. Therefore, we investigate throughput of traffic that each mobile terminal generates. I expect that the result of study will be utilized as a fundamental data to control priorities of various types of traffic in case of formulating a scheduling policy supporting a variety of Internet QoS over wired and wireless networks.

In an infrastructure-based wireless network, an access point is used for all communications among mobile devices. However, when a mobile device moves into a dead Bone, a connectivity disruption between the mobile device and the access point occurs. Such connectivity disruption consequently leads to another connectivity disruption between the mobile device moving toward the dead zone and other wireless-enabled devices located within the area of the infrastructure-based wireless network. To cope with the connectivity disruption in the infrastructure-based wireless network the ad hoc network that dynamically forms a network without any preexisting communication infrastructure needs to be set up to provide seamless connections among mobile devices. In this paper, we propose the DNSQ-MAC (Dynamic Network State aware QoS-Medium Access Control) technique that meets the deadlines of MAC frames forwarded over hop-by-hop multipaths and guarantees the QoS performance of an ad hoc-based wireless network. Mobile devices incorporating the DNSQ-MAC technique are capable of adjusting to the new dynamic network status in order to enhance the QoS performance in the ad hoc-based wireless network. A case study which exploits the Qualnet simulator shows that the proposed DNSQ-MAC technique can guarantee the deadlines of MAC frames forwarded over hop-by-hop multipaths and enhance the QoS performance of various routing protocols and packet schedulers running on the network layer above the MAC layer.

Even though a variety of types of multimedia data are being used on the basis of user characteristics and demands, all devices do not always support playing all multimedia data. Accordingly, a multimedia transcoder is used to create media suitable for each environments. This is due to the dissimilarity between the source QoS and the target QoS. Therefore, we need to consider adapting the two dissimilar QoS. Therefore in this paper, we create a suitable application-specific transcoding path with unit transcoders before performing the media transcoding in consideration of source QoS and target QoS. and the created transcoding path performs the transcoding. Here, creating a UTR(Unit Transcoder) conversion path that considers the transcoding possibility and the minimum of the UTR will allow the playback of various multimedia data with convenience. and The consideration of QoS allows users to use the multimedia easily.

As compared with wired network environment, mobile VOD service in wireless network environment is difficult to guarantee the quality of VOD service due to the limitation of the system resources. Moreover, the wireless network has small bandwidth resources and short access range so that has limitations for providing the service to a large number of mobile clients. The limited battery capacity of a mobile device becomes an obstacle to mobile clients for enjoying VOD service for a long time. Therefore, these drawbacks should be considered in developing mobile VOD applications. This paper proposes a new technique for improving QoS of mobile VOD service by jointly use of broadcasting technique, which can provide VOD service to a large number of mobile clients simultaneously, and bursty communication technique, which can reduce the power consumption of a mobile device. With having these two techniques, streaming data are divided into segments, each of which is grouped into a particular packet and then transmitted at a time in the busty communication manner. In the performance evaluation, the power consumption on WNIC of a mobile device can be reduced by over 80%, and the initial service delay can be reduced in proportion to the number of channels compared with the existing staggered broadcasting technique.

Today's market share of mobile internet service is growing rapidly in internet due to the rapid advances in wireless mobile networks. To guarantee for QoS of Mobile Nodes in wireless mobile networks, we propose the Proxy MRSVP (PMRSVP) which is efficient resource reservation protocol. The PMRSVP using a modified regional registration restrains excessive message generation from existing protocols that propose an alternative plan of existing best effort service in wireless mobile networks. We show that signaling message generation quantities and resource registration costs of the PMRSVP are lower than MRSVP and Hierarchical MRSVP (HMRSVP) because as Mobile Agent (MA) plays a proxy role instead of Corresponding Host (CH). We evaluate resource reservation cost with registration cost of intradomain and interdomain of the proposed method in the paper by comparing to that of the MRSVP and HMRSVP.

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.

Ad hoc 네트워크에 대한 상업적인 관심이 지속적으로 증가함에 따라, 최근 Ad hoc 네트워크에 QoS (Quality of Service)를 지원하기 위한 많은 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 지금까지의 연구는 대부분 QoS 기반 라우팅 프로토콜과 자원 예약 (resource reservation) 그리고 QoS MAC (Medium Access Control) 프로토콜에 관한 것이었다. Ad hoc 네트워크에 QoS를 제공하기 위해서는 위의 요소들이 상호 협력하여 동작하고 Ad hoc 네트워크의 특성이 충분히 고려된 005 모델에 관한 연구가 절실히 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 Ad hoc 네트워크에서 종단 사용자간 (end-to-end) 005를 제공하기 위한 서비스 모델의 설계와 구현방법에 대해 제안하였다.

모바일 애드 혹 네트워크의 제한된 자원과 다양한 토폴로지 변화 때문에 모바일 애드 혹 네트워크를 관리하고 QoS를 보장하기란 매우 어려운 일이다. 또한 현재까지 모바일 애드 혹 네트워크에서 QoS 보장에 대한 관심은 많지만, 그에 대한 연구는 아직까지 미비한 실정이며 주로 MAC 프로토콜과 라우팅 프로토콜에 집중되어 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 차등화 서비스(DiffServ) QoS 모델을 기반으로 하는 정책기반 망 관리 기술과 동적으로 네트워크의 기능을 확장할 수 있는 액티브 네트워크 기술을 이용하여 모바일 애드 혹 네트워크를 효율적으로 관리하고 QoS를 제공할 수 있는 프레임워크를 제안한다.

무선 ad-hoc 네트워크는 중앙 집중화된 관리 시스템이나 지원 서비스 없이 동적으로 임시 네트워크를 구성하는 이동 호스트(MH)들의 집합이다. 이러한 네트워크는 백본 호스트나 다른 MH로의 연결을 제공하기 위한 고정된 제어장치를 갖지 않으며, 각 MH가 라우터로 동작하며 전달받은 패킷을 다른 MH로 전달한다. 이러한 무선 ad-hoc 네트워크에서 단순히 최선의 서비스만을 제공하던 기존의 방법과 달리, 많은 사용자가 요구하는 QoS 서비스를 지원하기 위하여 기존 네트워크를 효율적으로 최대 활용하는 방안에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 무선 ad-hoc 네트워크 내에서 QoS 서비스를 제공하기 위한 기법으로 각각의 이동 호스트들은 QoS DAG 그래프를 유지하며 이러한 그래프를 바탕으로 만들어진 QoS 정보 패킷을 이웃 이동 호스트들에게 지역 브로드캐스트 함으로써 전역적인 QoS 정보의 검색과 운용없이, 유용한 QoS 정보를 전역적으로 각 이동 호스트가 유지할 수 있고 이를 바탕으로 효율적인 QoS 라우팅이 수행되어지는 기법이다.

Multimedia applications are much more sensitive to QoS(Quality of Service) than text based ones due to their data continuity. In order to provide a fast moving MH(Mobil Host) using multimedia application with a consistent QoS,an efficient call admission mechanism is in need. This paper proposes the 2SCA(2-Step Call Admission) scheme based on cal admission scheme using pripority to guarantee the consistent QoS for mobile multimedia applications. A calls of MH are classified new calls, hand-off calls, and QoS upgrading calls. The 2SCA is composed of the basic call admission and advanced call admission; the former determines the call admission based on bandwidth available in each cell and the latter determines the call admission by applying DTT(Delay Tolerance Time), PQeueu(Priority Queue), and UpQueue(Upgrade Queue) algorithm according to the type of each call blocked at the basic call admission stage. In order to evaluate the performance of our mechanism, we measure the metrics such as the dropping probability of new calls, dropping probability of hand-off calls, and bandwidth utilization. The result shows that the performance of our mechanism is superior to that of existing mechanisms such as CSP(Complete Sharing Policy), GCP(Guard Channel Policy) and AGCP(Adaptive Guard Channel Policy).
