The main problem to implement a wireless network is the high and variable bit error rate in the radio link, making it necessary to use an additional error control mechanism. The traditional techniques for error control are ARQ (Automatic Repeat Request) and FEC (Forward Error Correction). The ARQ technique works better than FEC, if the bit error rate in the channel is low, and worse, if the bit error rate is high. Thus, hybrid ARQ/FEC techniques can improve the performance. In this paper, a novel hybrid ARQ/FEC scheme is analyzed in an environment of real-time applications. We focus in a simple FEC scheme which has been standardized by IETF [11]. It consists in adding a low quality copy of the original packet n to the packet n + ø. If packet n is lost in the network, it can be correctly recovered if packet n +ø is correctly received. The effect of link layer (LL) parameters like the number of LL transmission attempts, offset ø , LL packet size, and FEC code rate on the TFRC (TCP Friendly Rate Control)and UDP performance is evaluated. We show that the combination of FEC and ARQ reduces the number of retransmissions and the time spent by a packet in the buffer at the output of the wireless link.

Recent research has attempted to assess the performance impact of hosts with weak wireless connectivity upon the other WLAN hosts by employing measurement studies or analytic models that focus primarily on wireless channel characteristics. This paper examines the intertwined effects on performance of the user applications, the network protocol and the wireless channel characteristics via carefully designed experiments that leverage previously developed network measurement tools. The study provides empirical evidence that suggests the overall performance of a WLAN is not only determined by the individual wireless channel qualities associated with each host, but also by the interaction of the various network layers with respect to transmission contention, queuing at the access point, transport protocol, and behavior of the specific applications. These results imply that effective WLAN performance modeling needs to include details on multiple network layers.","PeriodicalId":131891,"journal":{"name":"Wireless Multimedia Networking and Performance Modeling","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131864746","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}

However, before wireless multimedia appliances become a common commodity several challenging issues need to be resolved. Wireless communication channels are characterized by long bursts of data errors, and ambient noise, propagation losses, multipath, interference, and properties arising from the use of multiple antennas pose a serious problem to information transmission over wireless networks. In this paper, we propose a QoS-based modified scheme to transmit JPEG-coded images over wireless channels for CDMA communication systems, based upon a combination of a modified MAP (Maximum Aposteriori Probability) decoding to eliminate error transmissions and a fast decorrelating multiuser detection mechanism as a post-processing task to eliminate the MAI (Multiple Access Interference) interference. We describe our transmission protocol, and report on its performance evaluation using a simulation testbed we have designed for this purpose. Our results clearly indicate that our protocol improves significantly the quality of transmitted JPEG images over wireless CDMA systems and the transmission errors are significantly reduced when compared to regular transmissions.","PeriodicalId":131891,"journal":{"name":"Wireless Multimedia Networking and Performance Modeling","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124741308","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}

Re-authentication during handoff procedures causes a long handoff latency which affects the flow and service quality especially for multimedia applications. Therefore minimizing re-authentication latency is crucial in order to support real-time multimedia applications on public wireless IP networks.In this paper, we proposed two fast re-authentication methods based on the predictive authentication mechanism defined by IEEE 802.11i security group. We have implemented these methods in an experimental test-bed using freeware and commodity 802.11 hardware and we demonstrate that they provide significant latency reductions compared to already proposed solutions.

MRMA employs a centralized reservation mechanism to control the number of simultaneous packets transmitted in each time slot to satisfy a traffic class' packet loss ratio requirement. Moreover, MRMA incorporates an efficient adaptive random access method and a priority control mechanism to provide guaranteed and best-effort services for real time voice/video traffic and connectionless data traffic, respectively.
