Unfortunately, currently available systems lack to support the users in at least some of these features.

Based on the mobility prediction, bandwidth is reserved for the paths with the maximum support or the best confidence rule, so that the handoff calls' service can be guaranteed. This new approach belongs to the direct group mobility (DGM) prediction scheme and is based on the tree path construction algorithm (TPCON) for each base station (BS). The nodes with DGM support provide the BSs with the important aggregate bandwidth information so that they can avoid the congestion for the handoff users' sake. For finding the most popular group path, based on TPCON, clusters are constructed according to the various flows of the group mobility over an area of mobile stations. We focus on the center oriented clusters that are very crucial for bandwidth prediction purposes. An adaptive clustering algorithm creates the chain of activated cells at each time. A call admission control (CAC) algorithm is developed for each BS for minimizing the call dropping probability.

Increasing network bandwidth and computing power provide new opportunities for videoconferencing systems over Internet. In addition to homes and small officies, even the cell phones have broadband Internet access in the near future. Therefore, we can imagine that the trend in the increasing usage of videoconferencing systems continues. This requires universally accessible and scalable videoconferencing systems that can deliver thousands of concurrent audio and video streams. However, developing videoconferencing systems over Internet is a challenging task, since audio and video distribution requires high bandwidth and low latency. Current videoconferencing systems such as IP-Multicast and H.323 can not fully address the problem of scalability and universal accessibility. We propose service oriented architecture for videoconferencing, GlobalMMCS, and use an event brokering middleware, NaradaBrokering, to deliver real-time audio and video streams to high number of users. The performance of the event brokering network is critical to the success of this videoconferencing system. In this paper, we evaluate the performance of NaradaBrokering broker network in distributed settings in the context of audio/video delivery. The results demonstrate that even small number of brokers can deliver audio/video streams to more than a thousand users with very good quality. They also provide guidelines for the deployment of GlobalMMCS in particular, and they provide useful insights for the feasibility of using software based audio/video delivery systems in general","PeriodicalId":283620,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2005 International Symposium on Collaborative Technologies and Systems, 2005.","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134007083","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}
