Abstract

In this paper, a new technique for cross layer design, based on present Eb/N0 (bit energy per noise density) ratio of the connections and target values of the Quality of Service (QoS) information parameters from MAC layer, is proposed to dynamically select the Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS) at the PHY layer for WiMAX Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) networks. The QoS information parameter includes New Connection Blocking Probability (NCBP), Hand off Connection Dropping Probability (HCDP) and Connection Outage Probability (COP). In addition, a Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio (SINR) based Call Admission Control (CAC) algorithm and Queue based Scheduling algorithm are integrated for the cross layer design. An analytical model using the Continuous Time Markov Chain (CTMC) is developed for performance evaluation of the algorithms under various MCS. The effect of Eb/No is observed for QoS information parameters in order to determine its optimum range. Simulation results show that the integrated CAC and packet Scheduling model maximizes the bandwidth utilization and fair allocation of the system resources for all types of MCS and guarantees the QoS to the connections.

Highlights

  • Successful delivery of real-time multimedia traffic over the IP based networks, like Internet is a challenging task because of the strict requirement of Quality-of-Service (QoS)

  • Providing Call Admission Control (CAC) in IEEE 802.16 Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) networks guarantees the necessary QoS of different types of connections and at the same time decreases the Blocking Probability (BP) [13], Dropping Probability (DP) [14] and Outage Probability (OP) [24] for all types of connections

  • The novelty of our work focuses on the dynamic selection of Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS) based on Eb/N0 ratio of the concerned connections and relevant feedback information obtained from the Medium Access Control (MAC) layer in terms of New Connection Blocking Probability (NCBP), Hand off Connection Dropping Probability (HCDP) and Connection Outage Probability (COP) to employ the most appropriate MCS in the network

Summary

INTRODUCTION

Successful delivery of real-time multimedia traffic over the IP based networks, like Internet is a challenging task because of the strict requirement of Quality-of-Service (QoS). Real-time media such as video and audio is highly delay sensitive but Non-real time media such as web data is comparatively less delay sensitive but both types require reliable data transmission Some advanced techniques such as Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) [3], Adaptive Modulation and Coding (AMC) [4,5,6] and wide variety of protocols and standards [7] are used to combat the challenges for stringent QoS requirement in wireless networks. Providing CAC in IEEE 802.16 BWA networks guarantees the necessary QoS of different types of connections and at the same time decreases the Blocking Probability (BP) [13], Dropping Probability (DP) [14] and Outage Probability (OP) [24] for all types of connections These QoS parameters can be used as feedback information to the PHY layer in order to select an appropriate Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS) for better network performance. Fairness has been quantified using Jain’s Fairness Index [27]
