The video packets are marked at the IP layer based on the impact on the quality of experience at the application layer. In the core network these packets are mapped onto multiple logical paths with different quality of service accordingly to their marking. The proposed approach complies with the 3GPP releases newer than R99. It has been tested with an HSDPA system level simulator and H-264 video traces. The results of simulations show that the proposed content aware scheduling delivers over 1 dB Y-PSNR improvement compared to the standard round robin.","PeriodicalId":357456,"journal":{"name":"2009 Second International Workshop on Cross Layer Design","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125479539","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 model generalizes previous results by using a first-order two-dimensional Markov chain to model the wireless fading channel. Furthermore, it allows each frame at the physical layer to contain an arbitrary number of packets from the data link layer and still ensuring that, concerning the acknowledged packets, the transmit buffer operates in first-in first-out (FIFO) mode. Analytical expressions for performance metrics such as throughput, average packet delay and packet loss rate, both due to buffer overflow and due to exceeding the maximum number of allowed retransmissions, are derived. These expressions are then used to formulate a constrained optimization problem to maximize the system throughput under the prescribed QoS constraints.","PeriodicalId":357456,"journal":{"name":"2009 Second International Workshop on Cross Layer Design","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129266610","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 paper provides an insight on the cross-layer overview of the current 3GPP networks, while featuring the analysis until the end-to-end performance and end-user perception. It employs a correlation between the most relevant parameters at each layer and underlines their contribution to the upper layers.

In the case of a highly dynamic network, as observed in vehicular communications, the network architecture needs to be able to optimally adapt to the changes brought on by nodes' mobility. In this paper we propose a cross-layer approach, where the received power metric, logged at the physical layer, can be used to produce estimates of the links' residual lifetime. Such information is crucial for the decision processes of higher layers, such as hand-off, scheduling and routing. The method comprises of utilizing a time series based on physical-layer measurements to estimate the current state of the link and the remaining time during which the link can be used for efficient communication. Shadowing, small scale fading and limited opportunities to sample the channel make the problem challenging. The proposed algorithms are tested against simulations which depict the mobile wireless channel realistically.","PeriodicalId":357456,"journal":{"name":"2009 Second International Workshop on Cross Layer Design","volume":"125 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126975897","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}

A major asset of the successful application of UWB technology will be an efficient exploitation of cross-layer functionalities. Within EUWB, two major fields of this emerging challenge have been identified, namely the cognitive radio related Detect-And-Avoid (DAA) technology and the location tracking (LT) technology.
