A study on OSGi based home gateway employing application-aware QoS control

Abstract

To improve response time of time-sensitive application in a network using low speed communication channel, a mechanism which adjusts bandwidth usage between applications on a OSGi based home gateway (HGW) is proposed. The proposal is to equip a service bundle on HGW which enables QoS control by analyzing and scheduling packets of each application. We also perform a comparable calculation, for example, an application-aware scheme. As a result, the waiting time of a time-sensitive event driven packet is reduced from 283 ms to 144 ms in the considered case.
