In this paper we focus on the routing of bandwidth guaranteed flows in a dynamic scenario where new connection requests arrive at the network edge nodes. When more than one path satisfying the bandwidth demand exists, the selection of the path aims at minimizing the blocking probability of future requests. We propose a new routing algorithm named Virtual Flow Deviation (VFD) which exploits the information of the ingress and egress nodes of the network and the traffic statistics. This new algorithm, in most scenarios, achieves remarkable reduction in the blocking probability with respect to previously proposed schemes.","PeriodicalId":185917,"journal":{"name":"Int. J. Wirel.

However, the high quality brings about high computational complexity as well. With regards to such a side-effect, the CORDIC algorithm has been exploited and it plays an essential role in the hardware implementation of the new approach.

For example, Si-based single-chip GSM/GPRS/DCS/PCS, WLAN, Bluetooth and DECT transceivers have all been reported in the past few years. The next major milestone for integration will be the single-chip RF-system-on-a-chip (i.e. \"RF-SoC\") product that supports multi-band multi-standard cellular standards (such as UMTS/GSM/GPRS/CDMA2000) with the wireless personal-area-network (PAN) and wireless-local-area-network (WLAN) features. To achieve this high level of RFIC integration, one has to choose radio circuit architectures that require a minimal number of external components, together with a judicious selection of the IC technology for implementation. Recent design trends on highly integrated wireless RFIC transceivers are reviewed, with emphasis on the RF-SoC performance trade-offs impacted by the chip-level architectural selection and the device-level technology choice.

In order to support IP-based multimedia services in a wireless network, two different approaches can be used. One approach is to transmit end-to-end IP packets in a multi-hop network, such as a cellular mobile telephone network. In this case IP packets can be transmitted on high data rate air interfaces using a suitable IP header compression technique. Another possibility is to transmit non-IP packets from a UE to a BTS using standard 2G/3G air interfaces. IP packets can be generated at a BTS by encapsulating received MAC packets on an uplink. On a downlink, an IP packet received from a RAN is fragmented at a BTS for further transmission using a standard air interface. This paper first reviews the end-to-end IP packet transmission strategy based on IP header compression techniques. Next a simple RLC/MAC protocol architecture for a wireless IP network is proposed. The proposed protocol architecture is suitable for generating IP packets at a BTS by encapsulating MAC packets. IP packet encapsulation delay at a BTS is minimized by using a reservation-based MAC protocol. The MAC protocol uses class-based reservation and priority queuing techniques to satisfy QoS needs of different classes of traffic. The RLC protocol is mapped onto the MAC protocol to minimize signaling overhead. The proposed RLC/MAC layer is simple, flexible, and generates minimum signaling load to maintain high QoS for multimedia traffic. Performance of the RLC/MAC protocol is analyzed using a simulation model.","PeriodicalId":185917,"journal":{"name":"Int. J. Wirel. Opt.
