As a result, we propose an uplink scheduling scheme called Random Early Detection based Deficit Fair Priority Queue (RED-based DFPQ) for WiMAX. RED-based DFPQ adjusts the deficit counter of rtPS based on the current queue length. Our proposed scheme improves the transmission quality of rtPS traffic in WiMAX networks. Our simulation results show that RED-based DFPQ enhances the throughput of rtPS, reduces the delay of rtPS and avoids the starvation of lower priority service classes when compared with other scheduling schemes.","PeriodicalId":383593,"journal":{"name":"2009 4th International Symposium on Wireless Pervasive Computing","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-02-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126581416","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}

Many rate adaptation mechanisms were proposed to enhance the IEEE 802.11 systems, but these may cause multiple rates in a single network. However, IEEE 802.11 DCF faces the performance anomaly in multi-rate network, that is, when the stations with different rates collide, the low-rate station will greatly degrade the high-rate station. In this paper, we propose a collision avoidance multi-rate MAC (CAMR-MAC) protocol, which is different from the current solutions for performance anomaly. Current performance anomaly solutions are to assign different priorities to stations with different rates based on the IEEE 802.11 DCF protocol, which is still a fully contention based protocol. The simulation results show that CAMR-MAC not only improves the network throughput but also effectively guarantees the temporal fairness of all stations.","PeriodicalId":383593,"journal":{"name":"2009 4th International Symposium on Wireless Pervasive Computing","volume":"282 20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-02-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126952035","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 paper, we investigate the polling mechanisms in IEEE 802.16 networks, and propose a simple but efficient polling mechanism to improve the performance.

Towards transparently tackling these features yet rigorously modelling and validating such applications, this contribution capitalizes on SE advances: (1) explicit separation of concerns (e.g. interaction-centric functionalities and context-awareness); (2) flexible description of intrinsic rules governing any behavior-intensive task; and (3) concern-based transient architectural connectors to cope with adaptability. More precisely, we propose a multi-concern architectural approach that explicitly separate interaction concerns from context-aware ones. Each concern is first independently conceived through tailored ECA architectural connectors. These concerns are then accordingly integrated at the fine-grained activity level.","PeriodicalId":383593,"journal":{"name":"2009 4th International Symposium on Wireless Pervasive Computing","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126014053","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}

Khan","doi":"10.1109/ISWPC.2009.4800569","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/ISWPC.2009.4800569","url":null,"abstract":"With the emerging IEEE 802.11n standard, the WLAN is poised as a promising ubiquitous networking technology to support multimedia applications where providing QoS becomes imperative. However, the 802.11 WLAN is not designed to support delay sensitive traffic. This problem is magnified during a handover and typically results in excessive handover latency and packet loss. In addition, a 802.11 WLAN handover process is predominantly based on the physical layer detection without QoS considerations. This often causes overloading of access points and consequently all its associated connections would suffer from high delay. The former can be resolved by reducing handover latency to achieve seamless handover and the latter can be mitigated by employing link layer detection in the 802.11 WLAN handover process and having an appropriate admission control scheme. Although the IEEE 802.11e standard supports prioritized QoS, it cannot guarantee strict QoS required by real-time services under heavy load. In this paper, we proposed an integrated load balancing scheme incorporating (i) QoS-based fast handover to support seamless handover by eliminating both detection and scanning phases from the 802.11 WLAN handover process; and (ii) soft admission control to protect QoS of existing connections when resources are low. This synergy allows us to perform QoS-related handover opportunistically and guarantees service QoS during and after handover respectively. Simulations showed that our proposed integrated load balancing scheme is capable of providing seamless handover and QoS provisioning for real-time VoIP services in terms of bounded delay and packet loss when considering multimedia traffic.","PeriodicalId":383593,"journal":{"name":"2009 4th International Symposium on Wireless Pervasive Computing","volume":"131 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114390571","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}
