Improved Channel Capacity in 5G Ultradense Network

In general, it is necessary to evaluate the required bandwidth in each segment of the 5G ultradense network. After doing so, it is necessary to decide on the choice of OSI network and connection layer technologies. The most suitable models of network equipment are determined according to the technologies so selected. This question is not easy because performance depends directly on the performance of the hardware and also on the performance, software, and hardware configuration. These channel capabilities are the criteria for evaluating the performance of channels and equipment on 5G networks. In this paper, a model is proposed to increase the channel capacity of the 5G ultradense network. It is designed to increase the bandwidth usage of the channel and increase its functionality. Its main special feature is that its energy and power consumption is very low compared to other methods. This method is also ideal for sending more data with less power.

Impact of Cross-Layer Adaptations of Mobile IP on IEEE 802.11 Networks on Video Streaming

The OSI network layer model provides a strictly separated stacked architecture to abstract the behavior of one layer from the other. Although this model has a lot of advantages, it also makes it easy to lose the bigger picture. In this paper, the authors describe the advantages that can be made by cross-layering the link layer and networking layer to optimize handovers. The performance gain of these cross-layer adaptations will be analyzed using a simulation scenario and compared to the results from a real-life video streaming test. The authors will show that the performance gain in network parameters cannot be directly mapped on the gain of the video quality.

(N) - LMP: an architecture for the OSI lower layers management

Abstract We propose an integrated architecture called (N)-LMP for network management which can be applied for both OSI local and large network environments. Noting that SNMP and CMIP are complementary and serve two different purposes, we propose to integrate these two approaches within a “CMIP-style” architecture. We also reduce the overhead introduced by CMIP which imposes the implementation of a complete connection-oriented protocol stack by noting that the right place to implement network management protocol for large networks is within the OSI network layer itself rather than in the application layer.

An architecture for network-layer routing in OSI

Work on the standardization of routing protocols for OSI is in progress. The envisioned set of routing protocols is expected to work in nearly all of the environments which constitute OSI networks. Behind these routing protocols is an architecture which outlines problems and goals, establishes a framework upon which to base the development of protocols, and provides a conceptual baseline for continued work on unsolved problems. This architecture defines routing in the OSI network layer, functionally partitions the problem into its components, defines a routing hierarchy and an address hierarchy and discusses their relationship, and discusses arms-length routing relationships between differently administered networks. This paper presents that architecture, and discusses problems which remain to be solved as work progresses towards a global OSI network.

The OSI network layer: Standards to cope with the real world

Two key aspects of the OSI Layer which require standardization are the definition of the service provided by the Layer to the Transport Layer and the specification of the way in which networks are to be utilized to provide this Network Service. This paper describes the results of the work to date by CCITT and ISO in these two very important areas: 1) the Service Definition which is near final agreement; and 2) the emerging Layer internal architecture which is being used to discuss and develpoment strategies for internetworking with real networks.
