Handoff Management: A Critical Function in Mobility Management for Fourth Generation (4G) Wireless Networks
Efficient mobility management techniques are critical to the success of next-generation wireless systems. Handoff management, which is one of the two basic functions of mobility management, has become more critical in fourth generation wireless networks which support multimedia services. The paper treats basic issues involved in handoff management aspect of general mobility management in wireless communication systems. The relevance of mobility management, handoff management, and general mobility management protocols are explained. The taxonomy of handoff mechanisms, causes of delays in handoffs, and security in handoff procedures are elicited. The paper concludes highlighting some open areas of research in providing seamless services
Minimization of Handoff Failure Probability for Next-Generation Wireless Systems
During the past few years, advances in mobile communication theory have
enabled the development and deployment of different wireless technologies,
complementary to each other. Hence, their integration can realize a unified
wireless system that has the best features of the individual networks.
Next-Generation Wireless Systems (NGWS) integrate different wireless systems,
each of which is optimized for some specific services and coverage area to
provide ubiquitous communications to the mobile users. In this paper, we
propose to enhance the handoff performance of mobile IP in wireless IP networks
by reducing the false handoff probability in the NGWS handoff management
protocol. Based on the information of false handoff probability, we analyze its
effect on mobile speed and handoff signaling delay.Comment: 16 Page
Wireless Heterogeneous Networks and Next Generation Internet
The recent advances in wireless access technologies as well as the increasing number of mobile applications have made Wireless Internet a reality. A wide variety of bandwidth demanding services including high speed data delivery and multimedia communication have been materialized through the convergence of the next generation Internet and heterogeneous wireless networks. However, providing even higher bandwidth and richer applications necessitates a fundamental understanding of wireless Internet architecture and the interactions between heterogeneous users. Consequently, fundamental advances in many concepts of the wireless Internet are required for the ultimate goal of communication anytime anywhere.
This special issue of the ACM Mobile Networks and Applications Journal is dedicated to the recent advances in the area of Wireless Internet. We accepted 10 papers out of 59 submissions from all over the world with a 17% acceptance rate. Papers describing management schemes, protocols, models, evaluation methods, and experimental studies of Wireless Internet are included in this special issue to provide a broad view of recent advances in this field
Improving Inter-service bandwidth fairness in Wireless Mesh Networks
Includes bibliographical references.We are currently experiencing many technological advances and as a result, a lot of applications and services are developed for use in homes, offices and out in the field. In order to attract users and customers, most applications and / or services are loaded with graphics, pictures and movie clips. This unfortunately means most of these next generation services put a lot of strain on networking resources, namely bandwidth. Efficient management of bandwidth in next generation wireless network is therefore important for ensuring fairness in bandwidth allocation amongst multiple services with diverse quality of service needs. A number of algorithms have been proposed for fairness in bandwidth allocation in wireless networks, and some researchers have used game theory to model the different aspects of fairness. However, most of the existing algorithms only ensure fairness for individual requests and disregard fairness among the classes of services while some other algorithms ensure fairness for the classes of services and disregard fairness among individual requests
AMazING - Advanced Mobile wireless playGrouND
We describe a wireless testbed composed of 24 wireless nodes that can be used to perform a broad range of studies in the area of next generation networks. This paper addresses the difficulties and constrains faced by the
authors throughout the deployment process of such testbed. Flexibility and controllability were key concerns driving the testbed design. The testbed can be remotely managed through a series of remotely accessible web services performing low level management. Validation results are presented, showing the interference levels of the testbed as well as its maximum throughput capabilities
Self-Healing Framework for Next-Generation Networks through Dimensionality Reduction.
Next generation self-organizing networks (NGSONs)
are the key that will lead to the full automation of
the network management in the forthcoming generations of
cellular communications. New challenges, like the deployment
of novel wireless services or the aim of operators at providing
an end-to-end monitoring and optimization, make it necessary
to develop an innovative scheme for network management. In
this paper, a self-healing (SH) framework for next-generation
networks using dimensionality reduction is proposed as the tool
enabling the management of an increasingly complex network,
taking advantage of both feature selection and feature extraction
techniques. A proof of concept has been carried out in the context
of automatic diagnosis in a live network. Results show that the
proposed framework can effectively manage a high-dimensional
environment, eventually automating the tasks usually performed
by troubleshooting experts while optimizing the performance of
the diagnosis tool
Creating Tailored and Adaptive Network Services with the Open Orchestration C-RAN Framework
Next generation wireless communications networks will leverage
software-defined radio and networking technologies, combined with cloud and fog
computing. A pool of resources can then be dynamically allocated to create
personalized network services (NSs). The enabling technologies are abstraction,
virtualization and consolidation of resources, automatization of processes, and
programmatic provisioning and orchestration. ETSI's network functions
virtualization (NFV) management and orchestration (MANO) framework provides the
architecture and specifications of the management layers. We introduce OOCRAN,
an open-source software framework and testbed that extends existing NFV
management solutions by incorporating the radio communications layers. This
paper presents OOCRAN and illustrates how it monitors and manages the pool of
resources for creating tailored NSs. OOCRAN can automate NS reconfiguration,
but also facilitates user control. We demonstrate the dynamic deployment of
cellular NSs and discuss the challenges of dynamically creating and managing
tailored NSs on shared infrastructure.Comment: IEEE 5G World Forum 201
Generative Adversarial Learning for Intelligent Trust Management in 6G Wireless Networks
Emerging six generation (6G) is the integration of heterogeneous wireless
networks, which can seamlessly support anywhere and anytime networking. But
high Quality-of-Trust should be offered by 6G to meet mobile user expectations.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is considered as one of the most important
components in 6G. Then AI-based trust management is a promising paradigm to
provide trusted and reliable services. In this article, a generative
adversarial learning-enabled trust management method is presented for 6G
wireless networks. Some typical AI-based trust management schemes are first
reviewed, and then a potential heterogeneous and intelligent 6G architecture is
introduced. Next, the integration of AI and trust management is developed to
optimize the intelligence and security. Finally, the presented AI-based trust
management method is applied to secure clustering to achieve reliable and
real-time communications. Simulation results have demonstrated its excellent
performance in guaranteeing network security and service quality
