At the first level, an inter-class scheduling algorithm distributes bandwidth among various WiMAX service classes. Then at the second level, class specific algorithms distribute bandwidth among connections of the associated class. The present paper focuses on a Markov chain based analytical model of TLSA that is comprehensive enough to depict the behavior of inter-class and intra-class scheduling algorithms. Extensive simulations were performed and several criteria were considered to assess the accuracy of the proposed model. We considered bandwidth allocation in both inter-class and intra-class scheduling algorithms, percentage of lost packets and the service ratio. The experiments indicate that the analytical model faithfully captures the behavior of TLSA.","PeriodicalId":389513,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Wireless Networks and Mobile Communications (WINCOM)","volume":"83 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127471185","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, drivers behave differently in the different traffic situations, hence the need of techniques to enable cars to learn from their drivers and create a model of his behavior. Actually, future generation of cars will be equipped with all sorts of sensing, computing and communication devices that will allow them to acquire all information about the state of the vehicle, the driver and the environment. And, hence make easier the driving behavior learning process. The present paper addresses the problem of modeling and learning the behavior of a driver in an intelligent car by presenting an approach for the construction and verification of a learned driving model. First, we propose a new way for modeling the driver-vehicle and environment, which consists of considering driver-vehicle as a rectangular hybrid input output automaton while representing contextual information about driving environment as conditions on the automaton variables. The construction of the model is ensured through a continuous monitoring of the driver-vehicle and environment system. The use of rectangular predicate states and environmental conditions will facilitate the verification of driving behavior. We then present a formal verification of properties of the constructed model expressed in Probabilistic Computational Tree Logic (PCTL) to assess its convenience to different traffic situations.","PeriodicalId":389513,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Wireless Networks and Mobile Communications (WINCOM)","volume":"188 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134160930","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}

We model QoS service at routing layer, via a QoS extension of OLSR routing protocol. At MAC layer, we deploy a dynamic access channel function with service differentiation DEDCF (Dynamic Enhanced Distributed Channel Function) based on EDCF, as for the link layer, we implement a dynamic hybrid FEC/ARQ system.
