A Novel Centralized Flow Control Scheme for ABR Service in Wireless ATM Networks

In this paper, we propose a novel Centralized Flow Control Scheme (CFCS) for ABR service in WATM network. The goal is to provide Quality-of-Service (QoS) guarantee to the users and to reduce the computational complexity at switches. A novel concept of monitoring the network status in the centralized controller in the form of rate allocation tables for flow control is the main theme of our algorithm. CFCS operates in ATM switches placed in the backbone of WATM network. The Network Controller Switch (NCS) monitors the current status of VC and bandwidth availability as well as tracking the current number of active sessions contending for capacity, to adjust the explicit bound in the source transmission rates. The simulation results show that the scheme is stable and efficient in achieving maximum utilization of bandwidth occupancies, enhancing average throughput and achieving robustness under continuously varying network conditions. The simulation experiments also demonstrate the superiority of the proposed scheme to the other schemes in dealing with switch complexity.

무선 ATM망에서 rt-VBR 서비스를 위한 동적 슬롯 할당 기법

본 논문에서는 무선 ATM망에서 rt-VBR 서비스를 위한 동적 슬롯 할당 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 방식에서는 슬롯 할당을 요구하기 위한 예약 요청 패킷을 경쟁 기반으로 전송하고, 예약 요청이 성공하면 단말기에서는 비 경쟁 방식으로 동적 매개변수를 전달한다. 기지국 스케줄러는 예약이 성공한 단말기들이 잔여수명과 요청하는 슬롯 수와 같은 동적 매개변수를 전송하기 위한 DPS 미니슬롯을 할당한다. 한편 기지국 스케줄러는 단말기들이 전송한 잔여수명을 기반으로 잔여수명이 가장 짧은 단말기에게 상향 데이터 슬롯을 우선적으로 할당한다. 본 논문에서는 제안한 방식의 성능을 시뮬레이션을 통하여 분석하였다. 시뮬레이션의 결과, 제안한 동적 슬롯 할당 기법은 셀 손실률을 낮게 유지하면서 rt_VBR 서비스가 요구하는 전송 지연을 보장하고 있음을 알 수 있다. This paper proposes the dynamic slot allocation method for real-time VBR (rt-VBR) services in wireless ATM networks. The proposed method is characterized by a contention-based mechanism of the reservation request, a contention-free polling scheme for transferring the dynamic parameters. The base station scheduler allocates a dynamic parameter minislot to the wireless terminal for transferring the residual lifetime and the number of requesting slots as the dynamic parameters. The scheduling algorithm uses a priority scheme based on the maximum cell transfer delay parameter. Based on the received dynamic parameters, the scheduler allocates the uplink slots to the wireless terminal with the most stringent delay requirement. The simulation results show that the proposed method guarantee the delay constraint of rt-VBR services along with its cell loss rate significantly reduced.

Efficient call admission control for heterogeneous services in wireless mobile ATM networks

An efficient call admission control scheme for handling heterogeneous services in wireless ATM networks is proposed. Quality-of-service provisioning of jitter bounds for constant bit rate traffic and delay bounds for variable bit rate traffic is used in the CAC scheme to guarantee predefined QoS levels for all traffic classes. To reduce the forced handoff call dropping rate, the CAC scheme gives handoff calls a higher priority than new calls by reserving an appropriate amount of resources for potential handoff calls. Resource reservation in the CAC scheme makes use of user mobility information to ensure efficient resource utilization. Simulation results show that the proposed CAC scheme can achieve both low handoff call dropping rate and high resource utilization.

Resource assignment for integrated services in wireless ATM networks

The task of supporting integrated multirate multimedia traffic in a bandwidth-poor wireless environment poses a significant challenge for network designers. In this paper we propose a novel bandwidth allocation strategy which partitions the available bandwidth amongst the different traffic classes in a manner that ensures quality-of-service guarantees for digital video while minimizing the maximum blocking probability for voice and data connections. At the connection level, near-optimum utilization of the reserved bandwidth for video traffic is achieved through an intra-frame statistical multiplexing algorithm, while at the system level the delicate task of partitioning the bandwidth between voice, video and data is accomplished by developing an efficient algorithm which uses traffic parameters consisting only of the aggregate traffic load and the total available bandwidth. The algorithm, built on non-trivial mathematical results is robust, easy to implement and has a geometric rate of convergence which ensures that the partitioning points are found quickly. These properties make it well suited for practical implementations, even for cases where changes in the aggregate traffic loads cause bandwidth allocations to be recomputed frequently. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
