Novel Radio Link Buffer Management Schemes for End-User Multi-class Traffic in High Speed Packet Access Networks

Abstract

The requirement to provide multimedia services with QoS support in mobile networks has led to standardization and deployment of high speed data access technologies such as the High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) system. HSDPA improves downlink packet data and multimedia services support in WCDMA-based cellular networks. As is the trend in emerging wireless access technologies, HSDPA supports end-user multi-class sessions comprising parallel flows with diverse Quality of Service (QoS) requirements, such as real-time (RT) voice or video streaming concurrent with non real-time (NRT) data service being transmitted to the same user, with differentiated queuing at the radio link interface. Hence, in this paper we present and evaluate novel radio link buffer management schemes for QoS control of multimedia traffic comprising concurrent RT and NRT flows in the same HSDPA end-user session. The new buffer management schemes-Enhanced Time Space Priority (E-TSP) and Dynamic Time Space Priority (D-TSP)-are designed to improve radio link and network resource utilization as well as optimize end-to-end QoS performance of both RT and NRT flows in the end-user session. Both schemes are based on a Time-Space Priority (TSP) queuing system, which provides joint delay and loss differentiation between the flows by queuing (partially) loss tolerant RT flow packets for higher transmission priority but with restricted access to the buffer space, whilst allowing unlimited access to the buffer space for delay-tolerant NRT flow but with queuing for lower transmission priority. Experiments by means of extensive system-level HSDPA simulations demonstrates that with the proposed TSP-based radio link buffer management schemes, significant end-to-end QoS performance gains accrue to end-user traffic with simultaneous RT and NRT flows, in addition to improved resource utilization in the radio access network.

Continuous implicit authentication for mobile devices based on adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system

“…Thus, to generate dynamic reference which is adaptive to user behaviour drift, we choose exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) and standard deviation (SD) as the main parts of our reference computation scheme. Previous works such as [20] where EWMA is applied to admission control and buffer management [21] have illustrated the performance and efficiency of the algorithm. In EWMA, the coefficient α represents the degree of weighting, such that a higher α discounts older observations (thresholds) faster as shown in equation 14.…”

Iot Device Classification in Cloud Organizations Using Deep Belief Networks

“…Therefore, it would result in an appropriate classification of the nature of each device and would require few operations for infiltration [19]. Therefore, analysis of traffic patterns and analysis of network identity [20] [21] are the most important measures in a broad IoT environment [22] [23].…”
