Exponential growth of user demands on a single convergence platform has brought researchers to explore various aspects/features of Fourth Generation (4G) Mobile Communication System. Selection of application as per the user preference based on QoS (Quality of Service) is one salient feature of 4G. This user-centric system works on the basis to provide best services of the network to the users. In this paper, a selection algorithm has been proposed which provides a better way to implement user preferences as per the features of 4G. Rank based on distance function has been computed for various available services/access technologies, called networks. Weighted distance function is obtained based on multiple QoS parameters as per user needs. The proposed algorithm shows better results compared to single parameter based system, under a heterogeneous network system.

“…It offers potential benefits to shareholders by enabling application services to make better use of network functions (and thereby retain more of the services' value-add within the network). The lack of access and location transparency as well as of re-configurability and adaptability capabilities has proven to be a major shortcoming for the evolution towards a universal 4G mobile wireless network [1]. Therefore, the future trend is going to provide the transmission rates required by most potential users, but the practical question arises of what type of services can be provided, as well as when and where [2].…”

Dynamic QoS Evaluation of Multimedia Contents in Wireless Networks by “Double-Boomerang” Watermarking

This work presents a cooperative network-aware processing of multimedia content for dynamic quality of service management in wireless IP networks. Our technique can be also used for quality control in UMTS environments, exploiting the tracing watermarking recently introduced in literature. In this work, we use the transmitted video-sequences to monitor the QoS in a videoconference call. The video-sequence of every active user travels on the communication link, one time as video (transparent mode), one time as watermark (hidden mode) describing a boomerang trajectory. The results obtained through our simulation trials confirm the validity of such approach. In fact, the advantages of distributing the management process are (i) an easier and more precise localization of the cause of QoS problems, (ii) a better knowledge of local situations, (iii) a lower complexity for a single QoS agent and (iv) an increase in possible actions

“…In the next generation networks, mobile users will have access to devices with different capabilities at different times and to various wireless access networks and priority services [3]. These requirements will lead to an evolution of the communication systems' topologies towards user-centric frameworks, in which the main goal is to transmit contents that are a best match to the user's preference and therefore most satisfying to the user [10].…”

“…The commercial success of the second-generation (2G) mobile networks and the growth rate of the Internet over the last decade have led the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) industry and research community to focus their effort towards an integrated framework that will provide a wider range of services to mobile users [1]- [3]. Moreover, there is an increased need to provide added-value services to customers of third-generation (3G) mobile networks.…”

“…However, the lacks of access and location transparency as well as of re-configurability and adaptability capabilities have proven to be a major shortcoming for the evolution towards a universal 4G mobile wireless network [3]. These impediments which result in limited user friendliness in contrast to the open easy-to-access and easy-to-use Internet paradigm are motivating a research effort to alleviate the above-mentioned shortcomings prior to the commercial launch of all variations of 3G systems.…”

In this contribution, motivation and operating guidelines for Quality of Service (QoS) provision and control in wireless communications are discussed and investigated. In the last years, there has been an explosive growth in mobile communications providing in the next future the transmission rates required by most potential users, but the practical question arises of what type of services can be performed, as well as when and where. In response to this issue, QoS management is designed to hide low-level application variation and provide necessary service guarantees. In particular, we focus on the endto-end service quality methodologies applying a QoS evaluation technique by means of an unconventional use of fragile watermarking. This technique was recently introduced as "tracing watermarking" for blind QoS assessment in multimedia applications. Extending those preliminary results, the QoS evaluation technique is here widely applied to typical operating scenarios of wireless/mobile communications through extensive simulation trials. The results for mobile wireless networks confirm the validity of such approach.Keywords-quality of service, signal processing for wireless/mobile networks, wireless communications, digital watermarking.
