The main features of the proposed scheme are bandwidth control for each flow and load balancing between access points by using information of data link, network and transport layers. The proposed scheme was implemented on a Linux machine which is called traffic controller. The traffic controller connects a high capacity backbone network and an access network and the access points of wireless LAN are attached to the access network. We evaluated the performance of the proposed traffic controller and confirmed that the communication quality of real-time traffic would be greatly improved by using this technique.","PeriodicalId":122977,"journal":{"name":"1st International Symposium onWireless Communication Systems, 2004.","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131234908","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}

Originally, the TCP/IP protocol suite was not designed to support mobile nodes. Typically, each host is assigned a unique address that also provides routing information to this host assuming its location is fixed. Therefore, the IP protocol should be augmented with a mobility management mechanism for delivering datagrams to their destination hosts independent of their locations. As a significant number of Internet service provider and network operator are migrating towards MPLS, MPLS seems to be a promising solution for next mobile generation networks. In fact, MPLS combines the speed and performance of layer 2 with the scalability and IP intelligence of layer 3. In this paper, an integration framework for 4G network using MPLS as the underlying technology is developed. M&M's will provide an excellent way of designing high performance QoS guaranteed networks.","PeriodicalId":122977,"journal":{"name":"1st International Symposium onWireless Communication Systems, 2004.","volume":"79 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115619389","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 the example of GSM, for a given speech quality, the use of our perceptual speech quality metric in power control results in significant transmitter power savings (in excess of 2.5 dB) for moderate to high vehicular speeds as compared to when GSM's conventional link quality metric is used.","PeriodicalId":122977,"journal":{"name":"1st International Symposium onWireless Communication Systems, 2004.","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116762916","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}

Moreover the multipaths that define the channel are spatially and temporally diffused such that each multipath appears as a cluster rather than a point like signal source. Hence, channel estimation techniques that do not exploit the structure of the vector channel become inefficient. In this context, a subspace approach to estimate the diffused vector channels for multi-user wideband DS-CDMA systems is being proposed. The diffused vector channel is parameterized in terms of multipath directions and times of arrival. Then, by employing the structure of the developed diffused vector channel, a powerful blind near-far resistant channel estimation algorithm is derived. Simulation results are provided to illustrate the efficiency of the algorithm.","PeriodicalId":122977,"journal":{"name":"1st International Symposium onWireless Communication Systems, 2004.","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117183759","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 cdma2000, however, a reliable RLP ensures that packets are delivered in order and help to recover form packets received in error. In this paper, we have measured the performance of transport layer protocols on a nationally deployed commercial cdma2000-1x network. We used a cellular phone itself to measure the performance through modifications of Qualcomm TCP/UDP stack. We mainly focus on the large delay variation and excessive queueing in cdma2000-1x. And it is evitable for traditional TCP to accumulate segment at the buffer of bottleneck link, because TCP's congestion control algorithm would fill the entire router buffer before incurring packet loss. The primary goal of our work is to analyze the exact characteristics of cdma2000-1x, and maintains the queue length at bottleneck link can be stable without changing the TCP sender.","PeriodicalId":122977,"journal":{"name":"1st International Symposium onWireless Communication Systems, 2004.","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121546868","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}

Therefore cluster maintenance schemes are required to handle new admissions and releases of nodes in the clusters. Maintaining clusters in a distributed manner is more preferred in ad-hoc networks since it does not result in single point bottleneck failure. In a resource-limited network such as MANET (especially with nodes of varied capability), it is worthwhile to control the number of nodes per cluster for good planning and management of resources (such as memory, link bandwidth, battery power etc) in the cluster. In this paper, we propose a distributed cluster maintenance strategy that limits the number of nodes inside a cluster. However, we elect a cluster head for communication across the clusters. Our algorithm yields low number of clusters when compared to other algorithms taken for study. It is also observed that the number of cluster head changes is less and the life time of the cluster head is more. This behaviour of the cluster head is favourable to the high mobility environments because frequent updation of cluster head information and frequent re-election of cluster head may not be necessary.","PeriodicalId":122977,"journal":{"name":"1st International Symposium onWireless Communication Systems, 2004.","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131834236","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 this paper, we propose an extension of the recently developed IB-DFE concept (iterative block decision feedback equalization), for SC-based block transmission, so that it can be adopted within transmit/receive space diversity implementations. The particular case where only one iteration is employed corresponds to a conventional, linear FDE scheme (frequency domain equalization); the subsequent iterations with the IB-DFE scheme are shown to provide increasingly improved performances.","PeriodicalId":122977,"journal":{"name":"1st International Symposium onWireless Communication Systems, 2004.","volume":"64 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128400783","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}
