However, wireless performance is still far from satisfactory due to limited wireless spectrum, inherent lossy wireless medium, and imperfect packet scheduling. While significant research has been done to improve wireless performance, much of the existing work focuses on individual design space. We take a holistic approach to optimizing wireless performance and resilience. We propose Fast Resilient Jumbo frames (FRJ), which exploit the synergy between three important design spaces: (i) frame size selection, (ii) partial packet recovery, and (iii) rate adaptation. While these design spaces are seemingly unrelated, we show that there are strong interactions between them and effectively leveraging these techniques can provide increased robustness and performance benefits in wireless LANs. FRJ uses jumbo frames to boost network throughput under good channel conditions and uses partial packet recovery to efficiently recover packet losses under bad channel conditions. FRJ also utilizes partial recovery aware rate adaptation to maximize throughput under partial recovery. Using real implementation and testbed experiments, we show that FRJ out-performs existing approaches in a wide range of scenarios.","PeriodicalId":231103,"journal":{"name":"2009 17th International Workshop on Quality of Service","volume":"252 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122489304","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 work, however, does not consider the energy of motion, which is an important constraint for mobile sensor coverage. In this paper, we analyze the expected information captured per unit of energy consumption (IPE) as a function of the event type, the event dynamics, and the speed of the mobile sensor. Our analysis uses a realistic energy model of motion, and it allows the sensor speed to be optimized for information capture.

Current solutions are based on either pure static or pure dynamic channel allocation approaches. In this paper, we propose a hybrid multi-channel multi-radio wireless mesh networking architecture, where each mesh node has both static and dynamic interfaces. We first present an Adaptive Dynamic Channel Allocation protocol (ADCA), which considers optimization for both throughput and delay in the channel assignment. In addition, we also propose an Interference and Congestion Aware Routing protocol (ICAR) in the hybrid network with both static and dynamic links, which balances the channel usage in the network. Compared to previous work, our simulation results show that ADCA reduces the packet delay considerably without degrading the network throughput. Moreover, the hybrid architecture shows much better adaptivity to changing traffic than pure static architecture without dramatic increase in overhead.","PeriodicalId":231103,"journal":{"name":"2009 17th International Workshop on Quality of Service","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121565897","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}

We use a set of real numbers to approximate the supported QoS between different domains. The size of the set is predefined so that advertisement overhead and the space requirement will not grow exponentially as the network size grows.

To construct accurate online traffic profiles, we introduce horizontal and vertical distance metrics between various traffic features (i.e., packet header fields) in the traffic data streams. The significant advantages of the proposed approach lie in four aspects: (1) it is efficient and simple enough to process on-line traffic data; (2) it facilitates protocol behavioral analysis without maintaining per-flow state; (3) it is scalable to high speed traffic links because of the aggregation, and (4) using various combinations of packet features and measuring distances between them, it is capable for accurate on-line anomaly detection.

As a consequence, business success of service providers becomes largely determined by the effectiveness of their service management schemes, which require rapid identification of problems and resolution of network-related anomalies. However, this is a non-trivial task in heterogeneous enterprise networks due to service providers' invisibility of the health and performance of the underlying carrier network. In addition, the gap between quality of service (QoS) measurements reflecting network performance and quality of experience (QoE) metrics indicating user-perceived service quality further makes effective service management more challenging. In this paper, we present a unified service management system called QoEScope, which combines scalable end-to-end probing, accurate topology inference in the presence of implicit routers, adaptive bridging between QoS measurement and QoE metrics, and intelligent root cause analysis. Extensive testbed emulations and Internet experiments demonstrate that QoEScope is a highly practical and effective IP service management solution for heterogeneous enterprise networks.","PeriodicalId":231103,"journal":{"name":"2009 17th International Workshop on Quality of Service","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122566690","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}

We investigate an environment where (i) the peers' upload speeds vary in time and (ii) on the subscriber's downlink a strict bandwidth limit constrains the VoD delivery, and where (iii) this downlink limit is not significantly higher than the video's own bit rate while (iv) the subscribers' upload capacities are not cut down. In such an environment providing quality for a true VoD service requires carefully selected mechanisms. We show how the components (storage policy, uplink speed management) of a P2P-VoD system should be changed to be feasible under these conditions. The main component of the system determines the minimal required server speed as a function of the prebuffered content, the uploaders' behaviours, and the given play back fault probability. Additionally, by using simulation we investigate the optimal downlink bandwidth limit for a subscriber population with different average upload speeds.","PeriodicalId":231103,"journal":{"name":"2009 17th International Workshop on Quality of Service","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125319981","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}

Most static threshold-based overload control mechanisms are best suited to situations where the system's capacity is constant or the bottleneck resource is known. However, with varying capacity, the admission control mechanism needs to adapt dynamically. We propose and implement an adaptive admission control mechanism that adjusts the admitted load to compensate for changes in system capacity. The proposed solution is implemented as a proxy server between clients and front-end Web servers. The proxy monitors ‘black-box’ performance metrics-response time and rate of successfully completed requests (goodput). With these measurements as indicators of system state, we employ a control theory based feedback loop to dynamically determine the rate of admitted requests. The objective is to balance changes in response time and changes in goodput, while preventing overloads due to reduction in available system capacity. We evaluate our mechanism with experiments on a test-bed and find that it is able to maintain higher productivity than a static admission control scheme.","PeriodicalId":231103,"journal":{"name":"2009 17th International Workshop on Quality of Service","volume":"220 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133376832","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 such applications, the sensor nodes are deployed to detect interested events, e.g., the density of certain gas at some locations is higher than the predefined threshold. These events are then reported to the base station outside. Using conventional multi-hop routing for data reporting, however, will result in imbalance of energy consumption among the sensors. Even worse, the unfriendly communication condition underground makes the multi-hop data transmission challenging, if not impossible. In this paper, we thus propose to leverage tramcars as mobile sinks to assist event collection and delivery. We further observe that the sensor readings have spatial and temporal correlation. More precisely, the same event may be observed by multiple neighboring sensor nodes and/or at different time. Obviously, it can be more energy-efficient if the data are selectively reported. As such, we first provide a general, yet realistic definition on the events. We then transform the event collection problem into a set coverage problem; and our objective is to maximize the system lifetime with the coverage rate of events guaranteed. We show that the problem is NP-hard even when all the events are known in advance. We present an online scheme which leverages the spatial-temporal correlation of the events to balance the communication energy of the static sensor nodes. We prove that the expected event coverage rate can be guaranteed in theory. Through extensive simulation, we demonstrate that our scheme can significantly extend system lifetime, as compared to a stochastic collection scheme.","PeriodicalId":231103,"journal":{"name":"2009 17th International Workshop on Quality of Service","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123246510","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 this paper, we propose novel solutions to the scalable implementation of priority queues by decomposing the problem into two parts, a succinct priority index in SRAM that can efficiently maintain a real-time sorting of priorities, coupled with a DRAM-based implementation of large packet buffers. In particular, we propose three related novel succinct priority index data structures for implementing high-speed priority indexes: a Priority-Index (PI), a Counting-Priority-Index (CPI), and a Pipelined Counting-Priority-Index (Pipelined CPI). We show that all three structures can be very compactly implemented in SRAM using only Θ(U) space, where U is the size of the universe required to implement the priority keys (timestamps). We also show that our proposed priority index structures can be implemented very efficiently as well by leveraging hardware-optimized instructions that are readily available in modern 64-bit microprocessors. The operations on the PI and CPI structures take Θ(logW U) time, where W is the processor word-length (i.e., W = 64 bits). Alternatively, operations on the Pipelined CPI structure take constant time with only Θ(logW U) pipeline stages. Finally, we show the application of our proposed priority index structures for scalable management of large packet buffers at line speeds.","PeriodicalId":231103,"journal":{"name":"2009 17th International Workshop on Quality of Service","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116802619","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}
