Novel DLC model for QoS enhancement of bursty VBR traffic in wireless ATM networks

EUROPEAN TRANSACTIONS ON TELECOMMUNICATIONS, Issue 8 2008
Hosam El-Ocla
Several data-link control (DLC) protocol procedures have been proposed in order to provide reliable data transmission over powerless radio links. However, many quality of service (QoS) issues still need to be achieved such as balance between cell transfer delay (CTD) and cell loss rate (CLR), absence of cell delay variation (CDV) and network traffic utilisation. The main problem with wireless ATM is how to overcome the unreliability of the wireless link in order to maintain QoS requirements especially for variable bit rate (VBR) application. Here, we propose a model that provides QoS support for ATM virtual connections (VC) and solves the unreliability problem of the wireless ATM through an efficient DLC protocol for bursty VBR traffic. This model mainly concerns with enhancing QoS to gain error-free wireless transmission and regulating VBR Traffic. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [source]


Analysis of a clock-recovery technique for circuit emulation services over packet networks

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS, Issue 1 2008
James Aweya
Abstract One important requirement of circuit emulation services (CES) over packet networks is clock synchronization and timing distribution among the nodes. CES depends on reliable and high-quality timing for operations. In the time division multiplexing (TDM) world, whether plesiochronous digital hierarchy (PDH), synchronous digital hierarchy (SDH) or synchronous optical network (SONET) based, timing and synchronization is inherent in the design of the network. However, when timing critical services such PDH and SDH/SONET are carried over packet network (e.g. IP, Ethernet, etc.), the timing element is lost and has to be carried across the packet network by other means. A well-known and widely implemented technique for clock recovery in CES is one that is based on packet inter-arrival time (sometimes called time difference of arrival) averaging. The technique is very simple to implement but provides good performance only when packet losses and packet delay variation (PDV) are very low and well controlled. This technique has been extensively analysed through simulations but has not been fully characterized analytically with correlated traffic in the literature. In this paper, we provide a full analytical examination of this well-known clock recovery technique. We analyse the effects of correlation of the delay variation in the traffic stream on the quality of the clock recovered by a receiver. We prove analytically that, for a general input process, high correlation of the delay variation produces a large variance of the recovered clock. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [source]


Managing QoS requirements for video streaming: from intra-node to inter-node

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS, Issue 5 2006
Y. Bai
Abstract Streaming video over IP networks has become increasingly popular; however, compared to traditional data traffic, video streaming places different demands on quality of service (QoS) in a network, particularly in terms of delay, delay variation, and data loss. In response to the QoS demands of video applications, network techniques have been proposed to provide QoS within a network. Unfortunately, while efficient from a network perspective, most existing solutions have not provided end-to-end QoS that is satisfactory to users. In this paper, packet scheduling and end-to-end QoS distribution schemes are proposed to address this issue. The design and implementation of the two schemes are based on the active networking paradigm. In active networks, routers can perform user-driven computation when forwarding packets, rather than just simple storing and forwarding packets, as in traditional networks. Both schemes thus take advantage of the capability of active networks enabling routers to adapt to the content of transmitted data and the QoS requirements of video users. In other words, packet scheduling at routers considers the correlation between video characteristics, available local resources and the resulting visual quality. The proposed QoS distribution scheme performs inter-node adaptation, dynamically adjusting local loss constraints in response to network conditions in order to satisfy the end-to-end loss requirements. An active network-based simulation shows that using QoS distribution and packet scheduling together increases the probability of meeting end-to-end QoS requirements of networked video.

Compact ultra-wideband bandpass filter using defected ground structures

MICROWAVE AND OPTICAL TECHNOLOGY LETTERS, Issue 10 2010
J. K. Lee
Abstract In this letter, a compact ultra-wideband (UWB) bandpass filter (BPF) is presented with improved upper stopband performance using six defected ground structures (DGS). The proposed BPF is composed of seven DGSs which are positioned under the input and output microstrip line and coupled double step impedance resonator (CDSIR). By using CDSIR and open loop defected ground structure (OLDGS), we can achieve UWB BPF characteristics, and by using the conventional DGSs under input and output microstrip line, we can improve upper stopband performance. Simulated and measured results are found in good agreement with each other, showing a wide passband from 3.4 to 10.9 GHz, minimum insertion loss of 0.61 dB at 7.02 GHz and the group delay variation is less than 0.4 ns in the operating band while wide upper stopband with more than 30 dB attenuation up to 20 GHz. In addition, the proposed UWB BPF has a compact size. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A compact microstrip UWB BPF with nonuniformly short-circuited CPW resonator

MICROWAVE AND OPTICAL TECHNOLOGY LETTERS, Issue 1 2010
H. Chen
Abstract A novel and compact ultra-wideband bandpass filter using hybrid microstrip/coplanar waveguide is presented. The proposed filter consists of a single coplanar waveguide with nonuniformly short-circuited resonator, which is broadside-coupled to two microstrip open-circuited stubs on the other side of a common substrate. The measured results show that the filter has a good performance, including a low insertion loss, a group delay variation of less than 0.25 ns within the passband, stop-band of up to 18.8 GHz at high frequencies, and an out-of-band rejection level of below ,16.5 dB from 11.4 to 18.8 GHz. ©2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A novel compact ultrawideband (UWB) bandpass filter using multiple-mode resonator

MICROWAVE AND OPTICAL TECHNOLOGY LETTERS, Issue 7 2009
D. Chen
Abstract In this letter, a novel compact ultrawideband (UWB) bandpasss filter (BPF) using the proposed multiple-mode resonator (MMR) is presented. The MMR is composed of a conventional microstrip hairpin resonator of which the two arms are connected by a section of microstrip line and a short-circuited point located in the middle of the hairpin resonator. Its first three resonant modes can be utilized to construct the UWB band. The tapped feeding structure has been used to realize desired tight couplings for designing the UWB BPF. The filter has been investigated numerically and experimentally. Both the simulated and measured results show that the filter has good performance, such as compact size, low-insertion loss, small group delay variation, and improved out-of-band performances. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
