A Differentiated Queueing Service based admission control policy for wireless multimedia

Abstract

Quality of Service (QoS) provisioning for wireless multimedia applications has attracted increasing research attentions. Due to limited bandwidth of time-varying wireless links and various QoS requirements of bursty multimedia applications, an effective call admission control (CAC) policy that efficiently utilizes the bandwidth is desired. We have proposed a Differentiated Queueing Service (DQS) to support per-packet differentiated services for admitted traffic, which has been illustrated feasibility for mixed streams with various QoS requirements in multimedia applications. This paper furthers the research by exploring a DQS-based CAC policy to maximize the bandwidth utilization of wireless networks while provisioning call-level as well as packet-level QoSs for multimedia applications. To this end, we novelly use delay bound violation probability as admission control threshold and a basic DQS-based CAC policy, namely Delay Bound violation probability Guard (DBG) policy is proposed. Then we optimize the policy by formulating it as a Semi-Markov Decision Process (SMDP). The optimal DBG policy is found by solving the linear programming formulation problem. Numerical results show that, the DBG policy over SMDP achieves its goals of maximizing the bandwidth utilization while provisioning both call-level and packet-level differentiated QoSs for each class of multimedia calls in comparison with bandwidth guard CAC policies.

Virtualized Resources Scheduling in Multi-Tenant and Multi-Data Centers Based on Artificial Intelligence Algorithm: A Review

“…To ensure the service quality of security situation information under the constraints of delay limitations and network resources [62], the research group designed a solution to schedule security situation information according to the urgency of data packet delay [63], to control the data flow into the system according to the capacity of the link, and to design a fast queueing method for data packets according to the queue leader [64]. For the data packet timeout and energy consumption problems caused by the dynamic nature of the wireless environment, the research group demonstrated the feasibility of actively dropping time-out data packets from both theoretical analysis and simulation validation [65].…”

Delay guaranteed MDP scheduling scheme for HCCA based on 802.11p protocol in V2R environments

“…The MDP model has been widely used in various applications in different communication networks such as the solutions described in previous studies . A dynamic‐preemption call admission control scheme has been proposed in a previous study to decide whether to preempt the existing requests based on the optimal policy derived from a MDP model.…”
