Most of the geometric based greedy routing protocols suffer from the problem of local maximum. Inspite of this problem, it is not always efficient to use geometric graphs in the routing of adhoc networks. In this paper, we propose a new geometric routing algorithm called greedy local Delaunay triangulation (GLDT) protocol. GLDT uses greedy forwarding with its immediate neighborhood information. When a packet reaches the local maximum, the algorithm recovers it by using local Delaunay triangulation and forwards the packet using right hand rule. The algorithm not only solves the local maximum problem but also outperforms on end-to-end packet delay and delivery ratio compared to the previously proposed algorithms. The simulation results show the performance of GLDT protocol","PeriodicalId":257948,"journal":{"name":"2007 International Conference on Signal Processing, Communications and Networking","volume":"168 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115377408","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 scheme is based on a novel combination of error correcting codes with standard cryptographic primitives. A general network model is proposed where an adversary can perform various attacks on the transmitted streams. In this model, two parameters of the network, the survival rate and the flood rate, characterize the power of the adversary. This paper implement the authentication scheme in a generic manner so that the various network parameters, namely the survival rate, flood rate, decoder tolerance rate can be tuned to achieve better performance in terms of communication overhead and computation costs","PeriodicalId":257948,"journal":{"name":"2007 International Conference on Signal Processing, Communications and Networking","volume":"247 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130725351","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}

The mapping is performed between the current frames with respect to the previous frame in case of video data. This approach often referred to as the correlation generation is followed by convergence mathematical function generation. This function is derived based on trying out the various convergence methodologies in a weighted round robin environment and choosing the best matching function by computing the mean square error.

Broadband network services have created great opportunities for new multimedia applications at both home and businesses. Data over cable service interface specification (DOCSIS) is the leading standard for data over cable networks. DOCSIS is developed to support IP flows with significantly higher data rate links for high quality data, audio, video and interactive services. It is important to provide traffic scheduling mechanisms to support quality of service (QoS) for such applications. DOCSIS defines six upstream services for supporting per-flow QoS. Among them it uses rt-PS service for real-time VBR traffic which has burst nature. The headend provides periodic opportunities for unicast request, namely polling, which yields higher delay and not suitable for real-time services. In this paper, a novel scheduling mechanism and bandwidth allocation algorithm has been proposed to support VBR multimedia traffic over DOCSIS. The proposed dynamic unsolicited grant service (DUGS) scheduling algorithm makes use of piggybacking request and changes the unsolicited grant size allocation dynamically. It is shown through simulation results that throughput, channel utilization and delay performance have been improved in case of DUGS, compared with current DOCSIS protocol. This algorithm can also keep fairness among connections","PeriodicalId":257948,"journal":{"name":"2007 International Conference on Signal Processing, Communications and Networking","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115078508","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}

Several adaptive Kalman equalizers have been reported in literature. In these works either the least mean square (LMS) or the recursive least squares (RLS) or the Kalman algorithm have been adopted for channel estimation. The Kalman estimation method can lead to significant improvement in the receiver bit error rate (BER) performance. The use of a Kalman filter for channel estimation leads to a state model of size 2ntimes2n, where n is the number of filter taps. These solutions are computationally intensive and follow a nonlinear relation in the observation equation. New methods have to be followed to solve the nonlinear model resulting in complex parallel structures. This paper proposes a new approach for the real time implementation of the adaptive Kalman equalizer by providing two Kalman filters that run concurrently to perform the estimation and detection. Thus the Kalman estimator operates in parallel with the Kalman filter based equalizer following a linear model and the size of the state matrix reduces to ntimesn. Parallel-pipelined architectures are proposed to perform the time update and measurement update equations of the Kalman equalizer and Kalman estimator. The functionality of the proposed architecture has been verified through VHDL simulation. The synthesis results are presented. It is shown that the convergence performance of the proposed approach is superior to that of the Kalman-RLS and Kalman-LMS adaptive equalizers","PeriodicalId":257948,"journal":{"name":"2007 International Conference on Signal Processing, Communications and Networking","volume":"2007 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127300129","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}

Performance management is strongly related to quality of service (QoS) provisioning. In a heterogeneous networking environment, each node must understand the varying resource demands associated with specific network traffic.
