Here we exploit the benefits of power control in the context of multi-hop wireless ad hoc type networks with a distributed media access control. For our investigations we choose several general ad hoc network topologies and studied the effect of power control with respect to energy consumption and network capacity. We show that power control largely improves the network capacity and energy savings in all investigated scenarios, and that utilizing a greater number of intermediate hops between base source and destination improves the energy savings, but often causes a tradeoff in capacity, depending on the network topology scenarios.","PeriodicalId":213526,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings LCN 2001. 26th Annual IEEE Conference on Local Computer Networks","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129713646","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}

One of today's most demanding application requirements is QoS support. RSVP (resource reservation protocol), the protocol implementation of the IETF integrated services architecture (IntServ), cannot handle hosts that change their IP addresses during a connection lifetime, and thus, must re-establish any given reservation states. To overcome this limitation, we propose the adoption of a mobility management scheme, that maintains a single contact IP address throughout the mobility session. Furthermore, we introduce RSVP mobility proxy, an enhanced RSVP enabled border router to deal with QoS signaling at any mobility related network topology modification.","PeriodicalId":213526,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings LCN 2001. 26th Annual IEEE Conference on Local Computer Networks","volume":"99 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116743927","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 MPLS, however, methods to solve these problems are not clear. Therefore, this study proposes a concrete traffic engineering method to avoid heavy congestion, and at the same time, endeavors to realize a fault-tolerant network by autonomous restoration, or self-healing.","PeriodicalId":213526,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings LCN 2001. 26th Annual IEEE Conference on Local Computer Networks","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125165818","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}

Initially this will provide simple wire replacement functions for applications such as hands-free headsets for cellular radio. However, this will also enable future picocellular services such as real-time voice and data. There are many possible applications for this such as telephone lounges in airports, shopping malls and other public places. We consider several Bluetooth-based telephony basestation (BS) designs. Since the number of SCO links per Bluetooth node is very limited, the designs consider the use of multiple overlapping Bluetooth basestations/chips. The first scheme is a direct implementation of the telephony profile where the Bluetooth basestations operate independently, without any coordination. When a mobile comes within range of the system, it associates with a basestation using the normal inquiry/page process. The second scheme, BBSM (Bluetooth basestation with migration), reduces the probability of blocking by having mobile nodes re-associate with available basestations when their current basestation is about to become blocked by SCO links. This improves the performance of the system from a blocking standpoint, but can be very spectrally wasteful. The third design, BBSS (Bluetooth basestation with standby), further improves blocking performance and decreases the wasteful effects of \"node migration storms\" which can occur in BBSM. We also include results for a design which uses ACL-based voice links. This scheme gives the best performance but has the disadvantage that more complex vocoding is required.","PeriodicalId":213526,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings LCN 2001. 26th Annual IEEE Conference on Local Computer Networks","volume":"377 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131299556","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 range-based SLAs customers specify their requirements as a range of quantitative values rather than a single one. Various suitable policies and algorithms dynamically provision and allocate resources at the edges for VPN connections. However, we also need to provision the interior nodes of a transit network to meet the assurances offered at the boundaries of the network. Although a deterministic guaranteed service (single quantitative value approach) provides the highest level of QoS guarantees, it leaves a significant portion of network resources on the average unused. We show that with range-based SLAs providers have the flexibility to allocate bandwidth that falls between a lower and upper bound of the range only, and therefore, take advantage of this to make multiplexing gain in the core that is usually not possible with a deterministic approach. But dynamic and frequent configurations of an interior device is not desired as this will lead to scalability problems and also defeats the purpose of the DiffServ architecture which suggests to drive all the complexities towards edges. We, therefore, propose virtual core provisioning that only requires a capacity inventory of interior devices to be updated based on VPN connection acceptance, termination or modification at the edges.","PeriodicalId":213526,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings LCN 2001. 26th Annual IEEE Conference on Local Computer Networks","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126299058","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}
