This paper presents a study over the standard VoIP protocols H.323, session initiation protocol (SIP), media gateway control protocol (MGCP), and H.248/Megaco. Given the fact that H.323 and SIP are more widespread than the others, we focus our study on them. For each of these protocols we describe and discuss its main capabilities, architecture, stack protocol, and characteristics. We also briefly point their technical limitations. Furthermore, we present the advanced multimedia system (AMS) project, a new system that aims to operate on Next Generation Networks (NGN) taking the advantage of its features, and it is viewed as the successor to H.323 and SIP.","PeriodicalId":117329,"journal":{"name":"2008 International Conference on Communication Theory, Reliability, and Quality of Service","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123781986","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}

This standard approach using a fixed set of nodes for each communication link cannot cope with high mobility due to a high frequency of link breaks. A recent approach based on virtual routers has been proposed to address this problem. In this new environment, virtual routers are used for forwarding data. The functionality of each virtual router is provided by the mobile devices currently within its spatial proximity. Since these routers do not move, the communication links are much more robust compared to those of the conventional techniques. In this paper, we investigate techniques to enforce collaboration among mobile devices in supporting the virtual router functionality. Simulation results based on various system configurations are given. They indicate that the proposed technique is effective.","PeriodicalId":117329,"journal":{"name":"2008 International Conference on Communication Theory, Reliability, and Quality of Service","volume":"2009 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127332712","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}

A range of mathematical approaches were proposed to evaluate the performance of TCP, approaches validated through synthetic or endpoint controlled traffic, typically unsuitable for short-lived transfers or clients with unknown behaviour. This paper aims to overcome these problems by using a supervised adaptive learning approach to build the relationship between TCP performance and the influencing parameters. An earlier study indicated several advantages of the approach, as well as several issues, particularly related to the efficiency of the model on real traces. Comparison against the mathematical models showed that the proposed model provides more accurate estimates for real time traffic without losses, with tests results indicating that the average error of the connection duration, estimated using the proposed model, was 50% smaller than the value obtained using the mathematical approach.","PeriodicalId":117329,"journal":{"name":"2008 International Conference on Communication Theory, Reliability, and Quality of Service","volume":"66 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115435074","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}

These applications frequently require a minimum QoS in order to work properly and guarantee a good service to the user. This paper aims to find a relationship between signal to noise ratio (SNR) and a 802.11g networkpsilas QoS in terms of latency, packet loss and jitter. It has been created a software tool that obtains different TCP parameters from a file which contains the data about the packet transfer between two nodes in the network. Wepsilave found an instable behavior during the test series because of the nature of wireless networks. Besides, wepsilave pointed out how the delay and the packet loss are affected as the SNR ratio decreases, while jitter has an exponential growth when the signal decreases from 19 to 11 dB. Wepsilave found that the optimal range for most of the real time applications (as VoIP) goes from 34-90 dB, at this range we can find a good QoS in the network performance.","PeriodicalId":117329,"journal":{"name":"2008 International Conference on Communication Theory, Reliability, and Quality of Service","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114391036","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}

Developed for an interconnected network as a hop-by-hop distributed control scheme, the proposed algorithm is shown to achieve the desired performance specifications and requirements.

The receiver advertises its available buffer space to the sender, which cannot transmit more data than the advertised space. Transmitted data is first copied from application buffers into TCP buffers and from there it is sent through the network. In this paper we propose a model which characterizes the senderpsilas behavior throughout the duration of a TCP conversation. The model is suitable in the case of powerful, but variably loaded senders, slow receivers, fast connections and moderate amounts of data transmitted. For this model we present an O(nldrlog2n) algorithm which computes the minimum processing time spent by the sender, if the window sizes advertised by the receiver and the senderpsilas load are known in advance. The solution is based on an algorithmic framework for the segment tree data structure, which we introduce in this paper.","PeriodicalId":117329,"journal":{"name":"2008 International Conference on Communication Theory, Reliability, and Quality of Service","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114760802","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}
