QoS management in service specific label switched wireless networks

Abstract

We consider a campus environment connected using multiple WLANs and WLAN routers providing interconnection between the W A N networks. Servers part of WLANs in a campus network provide various services to users across the network. In this paper, we have extended our earlier work related to service-and session-specific labeling, path, and switching. The extension is to support service-specific QoS and this is achieved by idenhbing an SSP Tree (a collection of SSPs) rooted at the WLAN router connected to the server hosting the service. Fur?her, the service QoS parameters are dishibuted across the SSP Tree for network resource reservations purposes. This reserved SSP Tree is used to set up bi-directional QoSsupported session-specific paths.

Label Switch Path with guaranteed Quality of Service in Mobile Ad Hoc Network

“…MPLS not only offers fast forwarding but also provides flexible solutions in supporting QoS through flow-based MAC scheduling and queuing, as well as traffic engineering and internetworking. MPLS for ad hoc network has been focused, addressed and explored in architecture [12] as well as in protocols [13,14,15,16]. An important requirement for future networking environments is to provide quality QoS guarantees for real time multimedia applications along the MPLS like LSP.…”
