Recently, many researchers have focused on a mechanism to provide some quality of service (QoS) required for applications such as delay-sensitive ones. With such a mechanism, a real-time communication request is sent to a server, such as a policy server, that will try to find a path that meets the request's QoS requirement. If several available paths meet the requirement, the connection will be established on one of them. Otherwise, the request will be rejected. In all likelihood, though, delaying the path reservation to some extent if no available path meets the requirement, rather than immediately rejecting a request, will improve the blocking probability. We assume here that the communication can tolerate some initial setup delay, which we refer to as acceptable delay. Our major objective is to clarify whether or not the delay schemes are effective in improving the blocking probability. Therefore, we examine two schemes for managing buffered requests and two different network topologies, i.e., Mesh and ISP. Through an extensive simulation, we have found that the blocking probability can be improved even when a small acceptable delay and a small buffer size are assumed. In particular, we found that the scheme works well in actual network topologies such as an ISP model.","PeriodicalId":415837,"journal":{"name":"Global Telecommunications Conference, 2002.

The performance of FCR algorithm is compared with that of the IEEE 802.11 MAC algorithm via extensive simulation studies.

General TOA geometric cases and positioning solutions are analyzed. The time sequence of location samples is processed by Kalman filtering for position tracking and velocity estimation. A post-Kalman filter smoothing method is also applied to improve the velocity estimation. It is shown that the location tracking error can be reduced by processing the reconstructed line-of-sight TOA measurements with Kalman filtering.","PeriodicalId":415837,"journal":{"name":"Global Telecommunications Conference, 2002.

ATM is currently the preferred protocol due to its built-in QoS mechanisms. Through simulations, we show that IP QoS mechanisms can also be used to achieve comparable performance for voice traffic over DSL. Our performance metrics are the end-to-end delay of voice packets across the DSL access network and the bandwidth requirements of a voice call. We also propose an implicit signaling mechanism to provide admission control for individual voice calls over DSL. We implement a simulation model that uses our mechanism and perform simulations to verify its effectiveness We conclude that by incorporating appropriate QoS mechanisms and implicit signaling, it is possible to achieve performance for VoIP comparable to that provided by ATM. In this case, the ubiquity of IP makes it a very attractive candidate for future deployments of VoDSL.","PeriodicalId":415837,"journal":{"name":"Global Telecommunications Conference, 2002.

However, in evaluating the performance of IP caching, the cache size is a dominant factor. In this paper, we propose a caching scheme, named aligned-prefix caching (APC). APC takes advantage of prefix caching to reduce the cache size requirement. However, APC requires a routing-lookup module that can indicate whether an aligned prefix is cacheable or not. Thus, we propose a marking scheme, named aligned-ancestor poisoning, for tree-based routing tables. Our trace-driven simulations show that aligned-24 prefix caching can reduce the cache size requirement by about 50%, compared with the conventional destination caching scheme.","PeriodicalId":415837,"journal":{"name":"Global Telecommunications Conference, 2002.
