Broadband Wireless Access has drawn the fine attention due to the wide range of data requirement and user mobility all the time. Moreover, WiMAX provides the best QoE (Quality of Experience) which is based on the IEEE 802.16 standards; this includes several services such as data, video and audio. However, in order to provide the effective and smooth experience i.e. QoS scheduling plays one of the critical part. In past several mechanism has been proposed for effective scheduling however, through the research it is observed that it can be furthermore improvised hence in this we propose a mechanism named as OUS (Optimized Uplink Scheduling) which helps in improvising the QoS. In here, we have proposed a novel feedback architecture and proposed optimized scheduling which helps in computing the bandwidth request this in terms helps in reducing the delay as well as jitter. Moreover, the performance evaluation is performed through extensive simulation by varying the different SS and frequency and the results analysis confirms that our mechanism performs way better than the existing algorithm.


Virtual Network Functions (VNFs) situation and tying within the sight of physical connection disappointments. A steering convention's duty lie s in deciding the manner in which switches speak with one another so as to advance any sort of bundles from a source to a goal utilizing the ideal way that would give the most proficiency. Continuous basic interactive media requires effective steering for information conveyance with ensured QoS fulfilling the stringent QoS prerequisites of sight and sound transmission for the most part means high vitality utilization. We propose a jump by-bounce dynamic disseminated directing plan for the execution of this system wide enhancement issue. The calculation created in this paper is gives multipath directing, uses every conceivable edge, ensures recuperation from single connection disappointment and accomplishes all these with at most one piece for every bundle as overhead while steering depends on goal address and approaching edge. The proposed calculation designs vitality mindful bunch comprising of one header hub and various part hubs. The Software Defined Networking (SDN) can possibly empower dynamic setup and control for the improved system the executives. This document introduces the plan of a virtualization organizer dependent on system strategy in SDN conditions. The proposed novel directing calculations for diminishing the vitality utilization of optical systems to rest cycle conventions in favor of utilize in the system hubs. Vitality Aware visual system conventions can affect the Quality-of-Services-(QoS), for example, bit-blunder-rate (BER) and postponement. Our reproduction tests demonstrate that way part, way relocation, and tweaked implanting calculations empower a substrate system to fulfill a lot bigger blend of virtual systems

Smartphone users require high Battery Cycle Life (BCL) and high Quality of Experience (QoE) during their usage. These two objectives can be conflicting based on the user preference at run-time. Finding the best trade-off between QoE and BCL requires an intelligent resource management approach that considers and learns user preference at run-time. Current approaches focus on one of these two objectives and neglect the other, limiting their efficiency in meeting users’ needs. In this article, we present UBAR, User- and Battery-aware Resource management, which considers dynamic workload, user preference, and user plug-in/out pattern at run-time to provide a suitable trade-off between BCL and QoE. UBAR personalizes this trade-off by learning the user’s habits and using that to satisfy QoE, while considering battery temperature and State of Charge (SOC) pattern to maximize BCL. The evaluation results show that UBAR achieves 10% to 40% improvement compared to the existing state-of-the-art approaches.

The widespread adoption of network function virtualization (NFV) leads to providing network services through a chain of virtual network functions (VNFs). This architecture is called service function chain (SFC), which can be hosted on top of commodity servers and switches located at the cloud. Meanwhile, software-defined networking (SDN) can be utilized to manage VNFs to handle traffic flows through SFC. One of the most critical issues that needs to be addressed in NFV is VNF placement that optimizes physical link bandwidth consumption. Moreover, deploying SFCs enables service providers to consider different goals, such as minimizing the overall cost and service response time. In this paper, a novel approach for the VNF placement problem for SFCs, called virtual network functions and their replica placement (VNFRP), is introduced. It tries to achieve load balancing over the core links while considering multiple resource constraints. Hence, the VNF placement problem is first formulated as an integer linear programming (ILP) optimization problem, aiming to minimize link bandwidth consumption, energy consumption, and SFC placement cost. Then, a heuristic algorithm is proposed to find a near-optimal solution for this optimization problem. Simulation studies are conducted to evaluate the performance of the proposed approach. The simulation results show that VNFRP can significantly improve load balancing by 80% when the number of replicas is increased. Additionally, VNFRP provides more than a 54% reduction in network energy consumption. Furthermore, it can efficiently reduce the SFC placement cost by more than 67%. Moreover, with the advantages of a fast response time and rapid convergence, VNFRP can be considered as a scalable solution for large networking environments.

With the spread of broadband Internet, Real-Time Communication (RTC) platforms have become increasingly popular and have transformed the way people communicate. Thus, it is fundamental that the network adopts traffic management policies that ensure appropriate Quality of Experience to users of RTC applications. A key step for this is the identification of the applications behind RTC traffic, which in turn allows to allocate adequate resources and make decisions based on the specific application's requirements. In this paper, we introduce a machine learning-based system for identifying the traffic of RTC applications. It builds on the domains contacted before starting a call and leverages techniques from Natural Language Processing (NLP) to build meaningful features. Our system works in real-time and is robust to the peculiarities of the RTP implementations of different applications, since it uses only control traffic. Experimental results show that our approach classifies 5 well-known meeting applications with an F1 score of 0.89.

This paper addresses the problem of Quality of Experience (QoE) monitoring for web browsing. In particular, the inference of common Web QoE metrics such as Speed Index (SI) is investigated. Based on a large dataset collected with open web-measurement platforms on different device-types, a unique feature set is designed and used to estimate the RUMSI - an efficient approximation to SI, with machinelearning based regression and classification approaches. Results indicate that it is possible to estimate the RUMSI accurately, and that in particular, recurrent neural networks are highly suitable for the task, as they capture the network dynamics more precisely.
