We focus on an efficient and fair way to use the wireless access resources provided by multiple APs. In particular, our major concern is to develop a decentralized way to enable each STA to select an appropriate available AP independently. A straightforward way is to select the AP with the strongest signal; however, this is shown to need further improvement. Hence, we propose decentralized AP selection strategies to achieve an efficient and fair share of wireless access resources, and evaluate them by simulations. The results show that the proposed strategies can attain an excellent throughput performance by use of the number of active STAs sharing each AP, even if STAs employ the strategies only when entering the wireless LAN. In addition, if STAs roam from one AP to another, the total throughput and fairness can be further improved very much.","PeriodicalId":242981,"journal":{"name":"2004 Symposium on Wireless Telecommunications","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124612352","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 have extended our earlier work related to service- and session-specific labeling, path, and switching. The extension is to support service-specific QoS and this is achieved by identifying an SSP (service-specific path) tree (a collection of SSPs) rooted at the WLAN router connected to the server hosting the service. Further, the service QoS parameters are distributed across the SSP tree for network resource reservation purposes. This reserved SSP tree is used to set up bidirectional QoS supported session-specific paths.","PeriodicalId":242981,"journal":{"name":"2004 Symposium on Wireless Telecommunications","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125558272","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}

It uses non-intrusive speech quality measurements on live speech calls. The basic idea behind this analysis is an expectation that the average call duration is higher for calls of a good quality since users are less disturbed during their conversation by transmission impairments. Both traditional and state of the art methods for non-intrusive speech transmission quality measurements and also for call duration monitoring are briefly described and two basic dependency analysis methods are shown. The relations for result uncertainty estimation are derived. A numerical example is given based on a limited training database that is constructed on the basis of real network data. Finally, potential applications are presented and discussed The first results indicate that, in the low to medium quality range (mean opinion scores between 1 and 3), the call duration increases with increasing speech quality.","PeriodicalId":242981,"journal":{"name":"2004 Symposium on Wireless Telecommunications","volume":"62 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114827580","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}

Channels in each cell are divided into two parts and pre-allocated to real-time and non-real-time services. Each type of service is allowed to borrow channels from the other under certain conditions. A non-real-time service call can borrow an unused channel assigned to real-time service but it can be preempted by a real-time service call. A real-time service call borrows a channel from non-real-time service with a certain probability which depends on the number of available idle non-real-time service channels. We model the system by a six-dimensional Markov chain and compute the system performance in terms of blocking probability of originating calls, forced termination probability of real-time service calls, and average transmission delay of non-real-time service calls. The proposed scheme maximizes the resource utilization and keeps a certain quality of service (QoS) for each service at the time of congestion.","PeriodicalId":242981,"journal":{"name":"2004 Symposium on Wireless Telecommunications","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131064693","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 the absence of a centralized administration node, routing is a challenging issue. We focus on a particular source initiated on-demand protocol, called dynamic source routing (DSR), and show how use of multipath techniques can reduce the frequency of route discovery. The frequency of route discovery in DSR is one of the main performance metrics in mobile ad hoc networks. This performance metric was studied using an exponential model, which might be an appropriate model for voice traffic, but is not a suitable model for data traffic. Studies have shown that data traffic is more precisely characterized by heavy-tailed distributions. We present an approach to characterize data traffic through the compound log-normal distribution. Reliability archetypes of series and parallel connections have been used in developing these models.","PeriodicalId":242981,"journal":{"name":"2004 Symposium on Wireless Telecommunications","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133334273","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}

Considerable attention has been paid to mobility models. However, most work is confined to simulation. A novel method is proposed to analyze the performance of mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) considering the node's mobility. In the proposed method, of each communicating pair, one is considered to be stationary while the second is moving with a velocity relative to the first one. Using this method, system performance parameters, such as the average radio range dwell time of mobile nodes, link holding time, link breaking probability, and throughput of CSMA/CA protocols, are obtained by a theoretical framework.
