In this paper we propose a novel scheduling algorithm Strict Priority Based Adaptive modulation and Coding (SP_AMC_Based) that can grantee QoS between different connections belong to different users by the means of cross layer design between MAC and PHY layers in the process of bandwidth allocation to the contrary of most existing protocols that are base solely on MAC layer. Without loss of generality, the protocol serves a number of users with different connections (flows) that have different QoS requirements. The scheduler considers user current channel condition, connection QoS requirement and packet delay to select a user to be scheduled. The proposed scheduling algorithm is investigated through simulation and performance comparison with WFQ[1] scheduler. The results show a better performance of the proposed scheduler compared with WFQ algorithm.","PeriodicalId":211631,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Conference on Communications and Information Technology (ICCIT)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121441823","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 C-band design SOA is used, yet multi-wavelength operation either at the C or L-band region is accomplished by exploiting the gain compression phenomena of the SOA. We demonstrate that the wavelength tunability can be achieved either by inserting a variable attenuator inside the cavity of the laser or by changing the reflectivity of the mirrors. We exploit two different kinds of loop mirrors, a Sagnac and a Lyot-Sagnac loop mirror, which perform multiple functions. Stable multi-wavelength operation is achieved at room temperature without temperature compensation techniques, with measured power and the wavelength stability within < ±0.5 dB and ±0.1 nm, respectively.","PeriodicalId":211631,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Conference on Communications and Information Technology (ICCIT)","volume":"326 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114369914","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 some applications, wireless channels between nodes are prone to high noise and interference, where Automatic Repeat Request (ARQ) techniques are inefficient for the power loss in packets retransmissions. Error Correcting Codes (ECC) can be used to reduce the number of retransmissions. The high processing power and processing time of ECC powerful decoders make it unsuitable to be implemented in sensor nodes. Simple ECC techniques come with high redundancy in the transmitted packets and low correction ability. In this paper we present a powerful ECC technique for sensor networks based on Parallel Concatenation Turbo Codes. The soft-decision iterative decoder is implemented at the base station and a low power turbo encoder and error correction circuit are implemented at the sensor nodes. This approach enhances the reliability of the network communications, while being energy- and delay efficient. We also tested effect of increasing number of communication hops and variant interleaver memory sizes.","PeriodicalId":211631,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Conference on Communications and Information Technology (ICCIT)","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125094507","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 paper proposes a novel DTN routing protocol with help of satellite navigation system mounted on vehicles for vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs). By transmission of data messages along a driving route detected by the navigation system and recovery from the deviation due to next-hop detection failure, the proposed routing achieves high reachability though no copies of data messages are transmitted.","PeriodicalId":211631,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Conference on Communications and Information Technology (ICCIT)","volume":"64 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128739424","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}

Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANET) in particular utilize broadcast as a primary communication mechanism in many applications. Such networks exhibit situations of very high node densities so it is important that the broadcast protocols used to support applications on these networks scale well to high densities. This work evaluates existing broadcast protocols in terms of this scalability using both a high-level simulation assuming an ideal medium (WiBDAT) and a standard detailed wireless simulation (JiST/SWANS). Four broadcast methods and protocols, each having been used as a forwarding node selection algorithm in VANET, are chosen for evaluation: stochastic broadcast, distance method, Advanced Adaptive Gossiping (AAG), and Multi-Point Relaying (MPR). Results show a distinct performance difference in terms of rebroadcast efficiency at high densities. Protocols using network topology information, AAG and MPR, become inefficient at high densities. Stochastic broadcast and the distance method, which use neighbor count directly to calculate retransmit thresholds, are shown to be highly adaptive to node density.","PeriodicalId":211631,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Conference on Communications and Information Technology (ICCIT)","volume":"113 7","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133969492","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}
