To address this issue, in this paper we propose an approach which extends a common laboratory environment by a fading channel emulator. Hereby, we analyze OFDM based links under complex and realistic radio channel conditions including upper layer protocols. By means of this setup, the influence of velocity on the data rate and Packet Error Rate (PER) of a Mobile WiMAX system is investigated for various Signal to Noise Ratios (SNR) assuming vehicular and pedestrian channel models defined by the ITU. As a result, we analyzed the performance of Mobile WiMAX for Adaptive Modulation and Coding (AMC) dependent on the QoS target, the channel model, the user velocity and the SNR. Hereby, we assumed two partially contrary QoS targets, high data rate and target PER.","PeriodicalId":340032,"journal":{"name":"2011 18th IEEE Workshop on Local & Metropolitan Area Networks (LANMAN)","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123008058","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}

Although these models have shown very good results in many controlled studies, the complexity of their implementation may be an important factor for preventing their large adoption in real production environment. We advocate that simpler forecasting models can also show very good accuracy — similar to the complex ones — for real scenarios of LAN/MAN network traffic, and being less intricate to implement and deploy in practical network management applications. In this paper we investigate the goodness of fit of nine classic forecast models applied to IP traffic samples drawn from real networks. The obtained results support our hypothesis given that the simpler investigated models demonstrate prediction accuracy very close to the advanced models for the studied scenarios.","PeriodicalId":340032,"journal":{"name":"2011 18th IEEE Workshop on Local & Metropolitan Area Networks (LANMAN)","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132599996","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 employs computer-vision techniques and Quick Response codes (QR-codes). We have implemented a prototype on Android platforms and evaluated its performance with systems metrics and subjective tests. We discuss our findings and challenges in prototyping on Android OS. The analysis indicates that the network and the server are the main sources of delay, while the CPU load may vary depending on the specific Forthroid operation. The preliminary subjective test results suggest that users tolerate these delays and the offered services can be particularly useful.","PeriodicalId":340032,"journal":{"name":"2011 18th IEEE Workshop on Local & Metropolitan Area Networks (LANMAN)","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133300457","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}
