Enabling End-to-End QoS over Hybrid Wired-Wireless Networks

Providing end-to-end parameterized QoS is desirable for many network applications and has received a lot of attention in recent years. However, it remains a challenge, especially over hybrid networks involving both wired networks and wireless access segments (such as IEEE 802.11 Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs)). The difficulty in achieving such QoS arises mainly because wireless segments often constitute “gaps" in terms of resource guarantee, due to the lack of efficient resource scheduling and management ability over shared wireless media, as well as the lack of an appropriate QoS signaling interface to seamlessly embed these wireless segments into an end-to-end QoS signaling system. In this paper, we consider the scenario where an IEEE 802.11 wireless node wishes to make an end-to-end resource reservation to a remote wired Internet node and vice versa. We propose Wireless Subnet Bandwidth Manager (Wireless SBM), an extension of SBM protocol to WLANs, to provide seamless end-to-end resource reservations. Wireless SBM utilizes the enhanced resource management ability provided by Hybrid Coordination Function (introduced in the upcoming IEEE 802.11e standard) to provide parameterized resource reservation and admission control.

A New QoS Resource Allocation Scheme Using GTS for WPANs

IEEE 802.15.4 (for low-rate Wireless Personal Area Networks??WPANs) (IEEE 802.15.4 Standard-2003) and IEEE 802.15.7 (for Short-Range Wireless Optical Communication Using Visible Light) (IEEE 802.15.7 Standard??2011) are two typical standards for WPANs that support Quality-of-Service (QoS) through a Guaranteed Time Slot (GTS) mechanism to allocate a specific duration within a superframe structure for a time division multiplexing transmission. The low bandwidth utilization problem may occur in the GTS mechanism when the allocated bandwidth is less than the available bandwidth. However, this problem has not been resolved thoroughly in any of the standard or current research thus far. This paper analyzes GTS performance in QoS-guaranteed transmission and proposes a new GTS allocation scheme named Unbalanced GTS Allocation Scheme (UGAS), which improves the bandwidth resource efficiency. Our scheme tries to solve the bandwidth under-utilization problem by using Network Calculus theory based on the fluid model and greedy algorithm. The UGAS scheme divides the Contention-Free Period into time slots of different durations to support various bandwidth requirements. Time slots are allocated using an approximation QoS model to minimize under-utilization. Compared with the standard GTS allocation scheme, UGAS makes an efficient bandwidth allocation with the QoS-guaranteed model and without breaking the standard protocol. The numerical results show that the average bandwidth utilization using UGAS can be improved by 30 % as compared with the standard scheme.

融合的蜂窝网络/无线局域网中资源管理的性能分析

Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) with high data bit rates can be used with cellular network to achieve higher level of Quality of Service (QoS) by sharing their total resources efficiently. The integration between cellular and WLAN networks should be ensured considering different channel allocation strategies of both networks and efficient resource management techniques should be developed. In this paper, we propose a new call admission scheme to use the coupled resource effectively. The proposed scheme, by taking the different resource sharing strategies for two access networks, limits the new, horizontal and vertical handoff voice and data call arrivals with respect to their call level QoS requirements. Numerical results show that the proposed integrated cellular/WLAN network model uses the resources more effectively and achieves all upper bound QoS requirements for voice and data users as compared with the non integrated network model.

Providing Throughput Guarantees in 802.11e WLAN Through a Dynamic Priority Assignment Mechanism

Supporting real-time and interactive traffic in addition to traditional data traffic with a best-effort nature represents a constantly rising need in any kind of telecommunications environment. The IEEE 802.11 based WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) environment does not represent an exception. This is why at different protocol layers, and primarily at the MAC layer, many efforts are being put by both the research community and the standardization bodies to design effective mechanisms for user QoS (Quality of Service) differentiation. Although early results are coming into sight, such as, for example, the IEEE 802.11e standard release, still a thorough research activity is required. Aim of the present paper is to contribute to the cited research issue by proposing an improvement to the “static” traffic prioritisation mechanism foreseen by the IEEE 802.11e MAC (Medium Access Control) protocol. This latter shows a twofold drawback. First, there is no certainty that QoS requirements relevant to a given application are always fulfilled by the “statically” associated priority. Second, resource requests of the applications are not adapted to the (usually highly) variable traffic conditions of a distributed WLAN environment. The algorithm we propose is specifically tailored to “dynamically” assign 802.11e MAC priorities, depending on both application QoS requirements and observed network congestion conditions. It is carefully designed, implemented into a system simulation tool, and its highly effective behaviour assessed under variable traffic and system conditions.
