The main contribution of this chapter is the description of HySEP, Hybrid Simulated-Emulated Platform, developed by the authors and aimed at simulating/emulating heterogeneous networks to validate and test algorithms for traffic control and Quality of Service (QoS) assurance. Main features of HySEP are the appropriate level of accuracy and detail reached by using equipments available in most communication research laboratories, at low cost, and the easy configurability. HySEP is divided into three parts connected each others: the emulated core network; the simulated wireless access network communicating with the core network; and the real remote host. The overall platform is able to handle real traffic flows and overcomes the limitations introduced by other network simulators. HySEP is characterized by remarkable versatility and wide applicability to support the validation of different algorithms.

Provision of Quality of Service (QoS) and Micro Mobility management is imperative to delivering content seamlessly and efficiently to the next generation of IP based mobile networks. Micro mobility management ensures that during handover the disruption caused to the live sessions are kept to a minimum. On the other hand, QoS mechanisms ensure that during a session the required level of service is maintained. Though many micro mobility and QoS mechanisms have been proposed to solve their respective aspects of network operation, they often have interaction with each other and can lead towards network performance degradation. This chapter focuses specifically on the issues of interaction between micro mobility and QoS mechanisms. Special focus is given to the relatively unexplored area of the impact Mobility Agents can have on the wireless access network. Mobility Agents play a central role in providing micro mobility support. However, their presence (location and number) can affect the routing as well as the handover delay. Through an example network this issue is highlighted. Following which an optimization framework is proposed to deploy Mobility Agents optimally within a micro mobility enabled wireless access network to minimise both the routing overhead as well as the handover delay. Results show considerable improvements in comparison to deploying the Mobility Agents arbitrarily.

With the explosive growth of wireless applications, the subscribers’ requirements of QoS (Quality of Service) are increasing as well. In this paper, the upper bound of the tolerant delay of services in wireless access network is investigated, by mapping core network onto a cost-variable directed graph, where the cost is construed as the average service delay of the flows traveling in core network that depends on the current load. A multicommodity minimal cost flow mathematics problem is then derived and solved by Price-directive Decomposition and Lagrangian Relaxation. Simulations are carried out in two typical core networks and some valuable conclusions are gained.

The 5th Generation wireless and mobile communication is expected to provide ultrahigh data rates over wireless in the range of Gbps. But 5G will also be about providing consistency and supporting Quality of Experience in a personalized manner. We foresee an evolution in terms of physical layer enhancements to provide increased data rates, whereas a revolutionary step is required in terms of network orchestration and management to provide consistency and efficient utilization of the available resources at a minimum cost. In this chapter, key trends in wireless access technologies and thus-required network management strategies with respect to the core network are discussed. In the roadmap towards 5G networks, we envision an evolution of technologies for supporting Gbps wireless transmission, whereas a revolution would be required from the current modus operandi in the ways network orchestration and resource management is performed in these complex, hierarchical, heterogeneous and highly autonomous wireless networks.

Wireless access is needed to serve rural and urban sectors in the developing nations, while simultaneously encompassing both data and voice traffic in the same core network. We propose an architectural design of Multiservice Provisioning Platform (MSPP) for WiMAX over SONET/SDH, which involves interworking conventional technologies to deliver a solution that caters to unique situations that favor wireless access network over fully cabled systems. It consists of Wireless Access Network design, 2-way interlinking section, and the MSPP – optical core Network. It enhances the versatility of the MSPP and uses the SONET/SDH core network efficiently.[1]

A significant proportion of the traffic on the 4th generation of mobile networks (4G) will be interactive multimedia traffic. This chapter presents the development and evaluation of an edge device model for the lu interface of a 4G network for mapping the Quality of Service (QoS) requirements and traffic characteristics of aggregated IP traffic flows belonging to multiple classes of continuous media (Audio and Video) sources and data classes from the core network onto a single ATM Virtual Channel (VC) at the access network. This model was developed as part of a wider range of research activity focused on supporting QoS in future mobile networks.

: Fiber Wireless Access Network is the blend of passive optical network and wireless access network. This network provides higher capacity, better flexibility, more stability and improved reliability to the users at lower cost. Network component (such as Optical Network Unit (ONU)) placement is one of the major research issues which affects the network design, performance and cost. Considering all these concerns, we implement customized Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA) for ONU placement. Initially whale optimization algorithm is applied to get optimized position of ONUs, which is followed by reduction of number of ONUs in the network. Reduction of ONUs is done such that with fewer number of ONUs all routers present in the network can communicate. In order to ensure the performance of the network we compute the network parameters such as Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR), Total Time for Delivering the Packets in the Network (TTDPN) and percentage reduction in power consumption for the proposed algorithm. The performance of the proposed work is compared with existing algorithms (deterministic and centrally placed ONUs with predefined hops) and has been analyzed through extensive simulation. The result shows that the proposed algorithm is superior to the other algorithms in terms of minimum required ONUs and reduced power consumption in the network with almost same packet delivery ratio and total time for delivering the packets in the network. Therefore, present work is suitable for developing cost-effective FiWi network with maintained network performance.

AbstractHeterogeneous IoT-enabled networks generally accommodate both jitter tolerant and intolerant traffic. Optical Burst Switched (OBS) backbone networks handle the resultant volumes of such traffic by transmitting it in huge size chunks called bursts. Because of the lack of or limited buffering capabilities within the core network, burst contentions may frequently occur and thus affect overall supportable quality of service (QoS). Burst contention(s) in the core network is generally characterized by frequent burst losses as well as differential delays especially when traffic levels surge. Burst contention can be resolved in the core network by way of partial buffering using fiber delay lines (FDLs), wavelength conversion using wavelength converters (WCs) or deflection routing. In this paper, we assume that burst contention is resolved by way of deflecting contending bursts to other less congested paths even though this may lead to differential delays incurred by bursts as they traverse the network. This will contribute to undesirable jitter that may ultimately compromise overall QoS. Noting that jitter is mostly caused by deflection routing which itself is a result of poor wavelength and routing assigning, the paper proposes a controlled deflection routing (CDR) and wavelength assignment based scheme that allows the deflection of bursts to alternate paths only after controller buffer preset thresholds are surpassed. In this way, bursts (or burst fragments) intended for a common destination are always most likely to be routed on the same or least cost path end-to-end. We describe the scheme as well as compare its performance to other existing approaches. Overall, both analytical and simulation results show that the proposed scheme does lower both congestion (on deflection routes) as well as jitter, thus also improving throughput as well as avoiding congestion on deflection paths.
