It provides flexibility in network deployment options and service and supports point-to-multipoint (PMP) and Mesh mode. In parallel, VoIP is a technique that allows communicating by voice over IP compatible networks, one of the main advantages of VoIP is its ability to reduce costs, it becomes an alternative to public switched telephone. Voice traffic is highly delay intolerant and it needs a high priority transmission. In this paper, we investigate the performances of the most common VoIP codecs, named as G.711, G.723.1 and G.729 using Best Effort, UGS, rtPS, ertPS and nrtPS service classes and NOAH routing protocol. NS-2 simulator is used to analyze the QoS parameters. The objective is to compare different WiMAX's service classes with respect to the QoS parameters, such as, average jitter, throughput and average delay.","PeriodicalId":102045,"journal":{"name":"2012 Next Generation Networks and Services (NGNS)","volume":"77 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125377510","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Serialization is the process of saving the state of an object on a flow of communication, transferring it in the net, and restoring its equivalent from this flow. Unfortunately J2ME software development cannot be used as standard JAVA because it has many strong restrictions, which cannot be easily used as the standard JAVA. For example, in the case of mobile agent software development, J2ME does not provide tools for the serialization of objects. This research addresses the lack of a standard development environment for mobile agents under J2ME. In this work we propose a pattern-based white-box application framework, in order to achieve the serialization of complex JAVA Objects and its re-factoring into a black-box application framework.","PeriodicalId":102045,"journal":{"name":"2012 Next Generation Networks and Services (NGNS)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122356125","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We analyze the outage probability of cognitive transmission under joint transmission power constraint and interference power constraint over Rayleigh fading channels. This framework accounts for all the parameters that affect the performance and provides fundamental insights that may be of value to the transmission scenario, such as the spectrum sensing duration, spectrum hole detection, primary system bandwidth occupancy, transmission and interference power constraints.","PeriodicalId":102045,"journal":{"name":"2012 Next Generation Networks and Services (NGNS)","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122480790","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In a previous work [1], we proposed an SNA-based assessment framework to provide managers with a decision support tool to evaluate and diagnose virtual teams.
