The proposed algorithm is specifically designed for the Point Coordination Function (PCF). Although many scheduling algo- rithms have been proposed, none of them could be directly applied to the PCF uplink scheduling. Most of the literature work focuses on downlink traffic, in which Access Point (AP) could easily gather necessary information, such as queue length, packet arrival rate, and packet delay, for packet scheduling. The scheduling for uplink traffic is more challenging because the information for scheduling is distributed in each wireless station. We propose Asymptotic Weighted Fair Queuing (AWFQ) to approximate Weighted Fair Queuing (WFQ) for uplink scheduling. In AWFQ, bandwidth is allocated dynamically according to channel condition. In addition, each wireless station will give up its transmission opportunity when confronting a poor channel condition. With the proposed scheme, the channel utilization is improved. The average packet delay is reduced as well. An attractive feature of the proposed algorithm is that it could be implemented with only minor modifications to the IEEE 802.11 standards.","PeriodicalId":194551,"journal":{"name":"CCNC 2006. 2006 3rd IEEE Consumer Communications and Networking Conference, 2006.","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-02-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124861009","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}

To avoid inefficiencies due to transmission of periodic updates in proactive routing protocols, the proposed scheme divides the network layer into control and data planes. To demonstrate the multi-channel routing scheme, we extend the OSPF-MCDS routing protocol to a multi-channel version, OSPF- MCDS-MC. Simulation results indicate that OSPF-MCDS-MC successfully exploits multiple channels to improve network capacity.

I. INTRODUCTION Heterogeneous networks integration and interworking, with particular reference to third generation (3G) cellular networks and wireless local area networks (WLANs), is a challenging issue for the early future wireless communications world. Provided that the WLAN hot spot is within the 3G network coverage and that the final user is equipped with a dual mode terminal, integrating the two technologies, thus increasing the \"pool\" of available resources, would considerably increase both users satisfaction and networks utilization efficiency. In the last few years several projects were dedicated to the issue of 3G/WLAN interworking networks (e.g., (1)) and many papers appeared, investigating specific aspects mainly related to architectural/signalling issues (e.g., (2)) and vertical handover (e.g., (3)). Besides the data users exchange between UMTS and WLAN, in this paper we focused our attention on the possi- bility to serve by means of the WLAN technology those voice calls that within the hot spot region cannot be served by the 3G network (and would therefore be blocked) in case of saturation of its radio resources. Obviously a format conversion from circuit-switched (CS) voice flows into packet-switched (PS) Voice over IP (VoIP) flows (and vice versa) is needed in order to allow the radio network switching (see (4) for details on the network architecture). The benefits of 3G/WLAN interworking are here inves- tigated with reference to the Chinese TD-SCDMA UMTS This work was carried out in the framework of \"VICOM Project\" funded by MIUR. technology (5) and to the upcoming IEEE802.11e (6) WLAN technology. In this paper, in particular, the users satisfaction level provided in a realistic scenario by the integrated network is assessed by means of a dedicated simulation platform. Three simple but effective call admission control (CAC) strategies for the WLAN are implemented in our simulation platform in order to prevent WLAN overloads. Their performance have been derived and compared. The paper is outlined as follows. In section II the WLAN CAC strategies are described, in section III the scenario under investigation is introduced; in section IV and in section V the simulations settings and the related numerical results are report","PeriodicalId":194551,"journal":{"name":"CCNC 2006. 2006 3rd IEEE Consumer Communications and Networking Conference, 2006.","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-02-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125375783","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 addition, velocity, direction of motion and local position can be used to decrease unnecessary handoffs, and high-speed mobile stations can also connect to microcell system. Simulation results of three models show that blocking probability, dropping probability and overall system utilization using the proposed load balancing algorithm are improved significantly.","PeriodicalId":194551,"journal":{"name":"CCNC 2006. 2006 3rd IEEE Consumer Communications and Networking Conference, 2006.","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-02-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126368398","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}

With AppBus, we envision a cooperative data-sharing facility that provides the equivalent of a “short-term memory” for the mobile device. By leveraging this transient data store, services can collaborate in a loosely-coupled manner that makes their combined operation appear more intuitive and seamless.
