If the transport protocols react identically to both congestion and non-congestion related losses, performance will degrade. To avoid this performance problem, transport protocols must be able to differentiate between losses that are due to congestion and losses that are due to wireless link errors. Suitable congestion avoidance behavior can then be applied as appropriate. This paper overviews previous work on loss differentiation, and proposes a checksum-based scheme. The proposed scheme reuses the checksums already available at various layers in the receiver end-host protocol stack. It is an end-to-end solution for the case where the lossy link is the last hop. Header decoding, data integrity and other issues related to the implementation of our checksum-based scheme are also discussed.","PeriodicalId":323344,"journal":{"name":"4th International Workshop on Mobile and Wireless Communications Network","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121785456","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 of SDL and CORBA mechanisms is introduced, in order to provide a generic platform for the implementation of future mobile services, supporting standardized interfaces and manufacturer platform independent object and service functionality description. For the functional entity diagram model, it is proposed that the functional entities be designed as objects, the functional entities group as 'open' object oriented SDL platforms, and the interfaces between them as CORBA IDLs, communicating via the ORB in a generic implementation and location independent way. The functional entity groups are proposed to be modeled as SDL block types, while the functional entities and sub-entities as SDL process and service types. The objects interact with each other like client or server objects requesting or receiving services from other objects. Every object has a CORBA IDL interface, which allows every component to be distributed in an optimum way by providing a standardized infrastructure, ensuring interoperability, flexibility, reusability, transparency and management capabilities.","PeriodicalId":323344,"journal":{"name":"4th International Workshop on Mobile and Wireless Communications Network","volume":"173 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123774003","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 should give each node the opportunity to transmit packets successfully. Most existing wireless LAN techniques use contention-enable MACs, which are statistical multiplexing algorithms to control multiaccess. Compared to them, regular division-based MACs, such as time division multiplexing (TDM) or frequency division multiplexing (FDM), are seldom used in wireless LANs due to the inefficiency that is shown by the inflexible dynamic bandwidth allocation to nodes. Quality of service (QoS) takes into account this inflexibility in resource reservation in order to grant enough resource to services, even when they are idle. As a result, link connection-oriented networks with mesh topology are considered a good research topic. The corresponding simulation model is required where most current simulation tools do not provide one directly. We present a simple link connection-oriented network simulation design in C without using any existing simulation packages. It can help researchers to design the overall simulation in other related areas, and later it could be extended to a complete simulation tool.","PeriodicalId":323344,"journal":{"name":"4th International Workshop on Mobile and Wireless Communications Network","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121866535","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 framework, mobile users provide their connections' QoS requests and are categorized into different traffic classes. A cell associates each class of service defined within it with a resource pool, which offers a way to assign priority for service classes. The proposed framework provides two granularities for QoS guarantee. For single cell, the size of resource pools are adaptively adjusted based on current network conditions, which statistically provides QoS guarantee as a whole. For individual connection, a bandwidth borrowing scheme is introduced into the framework to guarantee connection dropping probability. Each cell implements a resource reservation algorithm independently and periodically. No resource is explicitly reserved for possible handoff connection. So the proposed framework is completely in a distributed manner and the connection admission control can be designed to be simple and efficient.","PeriodicalId":323344,"journal":{"name":"4th International Workshop on Mobile and Wireless Communications Network","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129308136","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}

However, a drawback comes with their use when transferring mixed traffic type, which is the introduction of excessive and highly jittered transmission delay, which negatively affect the performance of both real-time and TCP traffic. Here, we propose a selective ARQ protocol which is capable of switching between ARQ and non-ARQ modes based on two policies which we have defined. Our first policy is based on the assumption that for real-time traffic minimisation of delay is more important than reliable transmission. The second policy is an extension of the first and introduces a mechanism, which monitors the length of the buffer queue to decide whether or not packets should be sent with or without ARQ. Results obtained in this research show that real-time traffic can be sent with minimal delay jitter and within certain time boundaries, whilst TCP throughput can be increased significantly.","PeriodicalId":323344,"journal":{"name":"4th International Workshop on Mobile and Wireless Communications Network","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129895372","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}

Given sufficient route requests and network traffic, a link cache can provide a good view of the past spatial network topology. This view can be successfully applied to making future routing decisions, provided that links are allowed to expire through a timeout mechanism, so that the cache stays fresh. We further assume that each node has the ability to determine its location, velocity, and bearing. We propose a link timeout mechanism that is based on mobility prediction, and introduce link cache extensions that incorporate temporal information regarding the future state of the network topology. By utilizing spatial and temporal information, better and more efficient routing decisions can be made. Furthermore, local repairs can be initiated preemptively in anticipation of a link break.","PeriodicalId":323344,"journal":{"name":"4th International Workshop on Mobile and Wireless Communications Network","volume":"39 4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127461861","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}
