TCP-friendly rate control (TFRC) is used as a streaming video transport protocol. Using both TCP congestion response function and current network conditions, TFRC adjusts its sending rate to yield the maximum TCP-friendly throughput. Since TFRC was designed for applications that would prefer to maintain a slowly-changing sending rate, it is less responsive to changes in handover between next-generation wireless overlay network. This paper shows a new TFRC method for vertical handover (VHO) over wireless overlay network. The proposed TFRC method uses explicit VHO messages for faster rate adaptation to a new target network. The simulation results show that the proposed one provides better QoS and throughput supports than the conventional TFRC scheme during VHO.","PeriodicalId":360127,"journal":{"name":"ICC Workshops - 2008 IEEE International Conference on Communications Workshops","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115285982","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 aim of OMMPLS is to make the process of registration (or binding refresh) and Label Switching Path (LSP) setup (or maintenance) be carried out simultaneously to reduce the handover latency and signaling redundancy. To realize the aim, a new IPv6 Hop-by-Hop Options Header named the MPLS Header is defined, which includes some information about setting up or maintaining LSP. The MPLS Header is put in the Binding Update or the Binding Acknowledgement message of Mobile IPv6 protocol. When the network nodes receive such messages, they set up or maintain LSP in terms of MPLS Header. In addition, OMMPLS can integrate Hierarchical Mobile IPv6 naturally, thus realizing the fast re-building LSP after the mobile user roams into another subnet within a region. Analyses show that the handover latency and the LSP setup latency of OMMPLS are both smaller than those of the existing scheme, which means the optimization is realized.","PeriodicalId":360127,"journal":{"name":"ICC Workshops - 2008 IEEE International Conference on Communications Workshops","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117172770","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 conventional channel estimation methods can be performed through either the subtraction of the pseudo-noise (PN) sequence or the cancellation of residual inter-symbol interference, which are quite complex. In this paper, a simple method is introduced to separate the PN sequence from the OFDM symbol and the channel impulse response (CIR) estimation can be obtained and updated via the reconstruction of the PN sequence in an iterative manner. Analysis shows that the proposed algorithm achieves low-complexity channel estimation and can be applied to the DTMB receiver directly. Simulation shows that the proposed algorithm works well under slow-fading broadcast channel even with long delay spread.","PeriodicalId":360127,"journal":{"name":"ICC Workshops - 2008 IEEE International Conference on Communications Workshops","volume":"95 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123525592","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}

By modeling the occupancy of the primary users as discrete-time Markov chains, we obtain the optimal dynamic coordination policy using a partially observable Markov decision process (POMDP) solver. We also develop several tractable approaches - a cooperative multiuser approach based on explicit communication between the secondary users, a learning-based approach involving use of collision feedback information, and a single-user approach based on uncooperative independent decisions. As a baseline we consider the static partitioning policy where both users are allocated a single channel of their own. Simulations comparing the performance of these strategies yield several interesting findings: that significant improvements over static partitioning are possible with the optimal scheme; that the cooperative multiuser approach shows near-optimal performance in all cases; that there are scenarios when learning through collision feedback can be beneficial; and that the single-user approach generally shows poor performance.","PeriodicalId":360127,"journal":{"name":"ICC Workshops - 2008 IEEE International Conference on Communications Workshops","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126642572","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 URRA algorithm is composed of two parts. The first part introduces a dynamically priority parameter for each user according to the uplink channel state information (UCSI), the QoS constraints and data buffer information, and then allocates resources to meet the user's QoS constraints based on the priority parameters. The second part of the URRA algorithm allocates the remaining subcarriers to the users who have the most increment of throughput. Simulation results show that the URRA algorithm not only increases the system throughput performance subject to the QoS constraints, but also significantly reduces the computational complexity compared with the existing algorithm.","PeriodicalId":360127,"journal":{"name":"ICC Workshops - 2008 IEEE International Conference on Communications Workshops","volume":"199 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122557232","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}

Each device performs complex functions, enabled by software that can be stored in a flash memory. Of these, the devices in the multimedia and infotainment domain contain by far the most software with a size in the order of one Gbyte. In this domain, the devices are the performance bottlenecks, not the communication systems. Throughout the vehicle life cycle, parts of the software have to be frequently updated during maintenance. Today, the software of the devices is updated in a consecutive manner. Due to performance bottlenecks caused by the affected devices, the update can take a long time that leads to high costs. Therefore, the objective is to reduce the total update time by a higher utilization of the common bus resource. In this paper, we introduce and investigate algorithms that update the software of multiple devices simultaneously and evaluate the efficiency of these algorithms. We focus on scheduling algorithms on the Application layer and the logical link control (LLC) layer and model the update process by means of Petri nets. Our studies show that it is most promising to combine a simple scheduling algorithm on the Application layer with Round Robin on the LLC layer.","PeriodicalId":360127,"journal":{"name":"ICC Workshops - 2008 IEEE International Conference on Communications Workshops","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114183825","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}

Scheduling different nodes to be awake at different times saves energy for WSNs. However, traditional scheduling algorithms do not consider the directional data traffic towards the sink and maintaining coverage of the entire network, making them fail to optimize the energy efficiency and the network performance. This paper proposes a clustering algorithm, which combines scheduling techniques, to split the network into clusters based on the geographical information of nodes and the directional data traffic. The clusters are organized in such a way that all clusters have similar lifetimes. Only one node in each cluster is scheduled to be active at any give time to monitor that cluster. Simulation results show that this algorithm not only improves energy efficiency for WSNs, but also improves the performance of delivering data to the sink.","PeriodicalId":360127,"journal":{"name":"ICC Workshops - 2008 IEEE International Conference on Communications Workshops","volume":"99 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121617464","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}
