Performance modelling of a multiple threshold RED mechanism for bursty and correlated Internet traffic with MMPP arrival process
Access to the large web content hosted all over the world by users of the Internet engage
many hosts, routers/switches and faster links. They challenge the internet backbone to operate at
its capacity to assure e±cient content access. This may result in congestion and raises concerns over
various Quality of Service (QoS) issues like high delays, high packet loss and low throughput of the
system for various Internet applications. Thus, there is a need to develop effective congestion control
mechanisms in order to meet various Quality of Service (QoS) related performance parameters. In this
paper, our emphasis is on the Active Queue Management (AQM) mechanisms, particularly Random
Early Detection (RED). We propose a threshold based novel analytical model based on standard RED
mechanism. Various numerical examples are presented for Internet traffic scenarios containing both the
burstiness and correlation properties of the network traffic

Survey of traffic control schemes and error control schemes for ATM networks
Among the techniques proposed for B-ISDN transfer mode, ATM concept is considered to be the most promising transfer technique because of its flexibility and efficiency. This paper surveys and reviews a number of topics related to ATM networks. Those topics cover congestion control, provision of multiple classes of traffic, and error control. Due to the nature of ATM networks, those issues are far more challenging than in conventional networks. Sorne of the more promising solutions to those issues are surveyed, and the corresponding results on performance are summarized. Future research problems in ATM protocol aspect are also presented
Congestion Control using FEC for Conversational Multimedia Communication
In this paper, we propose a new rate control algorithm for conversational
multimedia flows. In our approach, along with Real-time Transport Protocol
(RTP) media packets, we propose sending redundant packets to probe for
available bandwidth. These redundant packets are Forward Error Correction (FEC)
encoded RTP packets. A straightforward interpretation is that if no losses
occur, the sender can increase the sending rate to include the FEC bit rate,
and in the case of losses due to congestion the redundant packets help in
recovering the lost packets. We also show that by varying the FEC bit rate, the
sender is able to conservatively or aggressively probe for available bandwidth.
We evaluate our FEC-based Rate Adaptation (FBRA) algorithm in a network
simulator and in the real-world and compare it to other congestion control
algorithms
A two-level Markov model for packet loss in UDP/IP-based real-time video applications targeting residential users
The packet loss characteristics of Internet paths that include residential broadband links are not well understood, and there are no good models for their behaviour. This compli- cates the design of real-time video applications targeting home users, since it is difficult to choose appropriate error correction and concealment algorithms without a good model for the types of loss observed. Using measurements of residential broadband networks in the UK and Finland, we show that existing models for packet loss, such as the Gilbert model and simple hidden Markov models, do not effectively model the loss patterns seen in this environment. We present a new two-level Markov model for packet loss that can more accurately describe the characteristics of these links, and quantify the effectiveness of this model. We demonstrate that our new packet loss model allows for improved application design, by using it to model the performance of forward error correction on such links
Comparative Study Of Congestion Control Techniques In High Speed Networks
Congestion in network occurs due to exceed in aggregate demand as compared to
the accessible capacity of the resources. Network congestion will increase as
network speed increases and new effective congestion control methods are
needed, especially to handle bursty traffic of todays very high speed networks.
Since late 90s numerous schemes i.e. [1]...[10] etc. have been proposed. This
paper concentrates on comparative study of the different congestion control
schemes based on some key performance metrics. An effort has been made to judge
the performance of Maximum Entropy (ME) based solution for a steady state
GE/GE/1/N censored queues with partial buffer sharing scheme against these key
performance metrics.Comment: 10 pages IEEE format, International Journal of Computer Science and

Low-complexity medium access control protocols for QoS support in third-generation radio access networks
One approach to maximizing the efficiency of
medium access control (MAC) on the uplink in a future wideband
code-division multiple-access (WCDMA)-based third-generation
radio access network, and hence maximize spectral efficiency,
is to employ a low-complexity distributed scheduling control
approach. The maximization of spectral efficiency in third-generation
radio access networks is complicated by the need to
provide bandwidth-on-demand to diverse services characterized
by diverse quality of service (QoS) requirements in an interference
limited environment. However, the ability to exploit the full
potential of resource allocation algorithms in third-generation
radio access networks has been limited by the absence of a metric
that captures the two-dimensional radio resource requirement,
in terms of power and bandwidth, in the third-generation radio
access network environment, where different users may have
different signal-to-interference ratio requirements. This paper
presents a novel resource metric as a solution to this fundamental
problem. Also, a novel deadline-driven backoff procedure has
been presented as the backoff scheme of the proposed distributed
scheduling MAC protocols to enable the efficient support of
services with QoS imposed delay constraints without the need
for centralized scheduling. The main conclusion is that low-complexity
distributed scheduling control strategies using overload
avoidance/overload detection can be designed using the proposed
resource metric to give near optimal performance and thus maintain
a high spectral efficiency in third-generation radio access
networks and that importantly overload detection is superior to
overload avoidance
