The paper extends the DTM mechanism to the 95th percentile charging rule enabling dynamic overlay traffic management and adaptation to constantly changing traffic patterns to meet cost optimization goals. The mechanism allows for the management of traffic generated by overlay applications such as content delivery platforms, online storage systems, or P2P. We discuss simulation results performed for the DTM in case of two inter-domain links charged according to the 95th percentile rule.","PeriodicalId":410892,"journal":{"name":"2014 16th International Telecommunications Network Strategy and Planning Symposium (Networks)","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131010328","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 may lead to shorter paths; however, the throughput can decrease when traffic is routed through those paths. Various contributions have proposed different metrics or completely different routing algorithms. Nevertheless, for many of these metrics, real-time network performance monitoring is required, increasing their overhead, while the implementation of many of the proposed routing protocols is not feasible in practice because of their complexity. In this paper, we aim to optimize link metrics together with routing. We preserve the shortest path routing principle but with optimizing the link metrics; thus, combining the shortest path algorithm's low overhead with an optimized link metrics scheme. We present a two-phase scheme for the considered problem. During the first phase, we seek for the optimal link scheduling for minimizing the required time slots and then, in the second phase, we present a mixed integer programming model for metric-driven routing design. For comparison, we also present the optimization models for global optimized routing and shortest-hop routing, providing numerical results.","PeriodicalId":410892,"journal":{"name":"2014 16th International Telecommunications Network Strategy and Planning Symposium (Networks)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129145395","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 VSC network means a small cell net which allows smooth packet transfer to moving terminals as if they stayed in a single cell. Small cells are contiguously deployed over roads, and connected with backhaul using PON (Passive Optical Network) drawing large latency. Each terminal is closed in an LMC (Logical Macro Cell) which consists of a few numbers of adjacent cells around the cell with the target terminal, and LMC is handed over to follow moving terminal. If the interruption due to cell to cell move in an LMC is small enough, the total of the net can be a virtual single cell. This paper examines the 3G-LTE based handover procedures for the small cell net under the conditions that the total of net are synchronously operated considering the cell size is very small, and cells are contiguously placed. Taking advantage of LMC, some information like an identifier for interruption to the target base station for handover is prepared before the handover action. If a terminal notifies directly handover to the target base station using SR (Schedule Request) on PUCCH (Physical Uplink Control Channel) at the instance of the handover necessity, the interruption due to handover is very small, and comparable to the packet transfer cycle. PON with multicast functionality contributes to configuring LMC, and its large latency cannot be harmful.","PeriodicalId":410892,"journal":{"name":"2014 16th International Telecommunications Network Strategy and Planning Symposium (Networks)","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127595926","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}
