Cross-Layer Interaction Between TCP and UMTS RRM Scheduling Strategies

Tags:
tcp - ip

Overview In the third generation wireless system UMTS, Radio Resource Management (RRM) functions should encompass scheduling algorithms. In particular, scheduling mechanisms play a key role in resource allocation for UMTS shared channels. These shared channels are mostly used in UMTS to support services such as web browsing and e-mail that work with the transport protocol TCP. So, performance achieved by TCP users in shared channels is closely related to RRM scheduling. In this paper the user studies the cross-layer interaction between TCP and two main sets of RRM scheduling strategies: rate-oriented and delay-oriented. Both strategies can be considered as the basic pillars behind more complex scheduling algorithms.

The Bloor Perspective: Linux in utility computing, Ellison the visionary and hotspot models

Their infrastructure initiatives are all quite similar and aimed at the idea of virtualising the hardware layer. The easiest way to see the need for a standard OS is to consider why and how TCP/IP became a standard.

Water-powered mobile phones a reality

Professor Daniel Kwok and Professor Larry Kostiuk from the University of Alberta created channels similar in size to the EDL and forced liquid through the channels, resulting in a movement of net charges downstream.

Harnessing the Power of Location Intelligence in the Public Sector

Throughout the world, public services today are under pressure. The current economic climate, where taxreceipts are naturally suppressed, provides very seriousfunding challenges. Moreover, in good times and bad, increasing regulation at the regional and national level is imposing additional duties and responsibilities on the public services without additional resources to carry them out. Store closures are changing the urban landscape. Demographic and/or economic change isincreasing demand for health and social services.Demand for decreased crime rates is focusing minds in law enforcement. And the threat of internationalterrorism is forcing greater contingency duties on the emergency services. The net result is a need to do more with lessÂ—quite a challenge.

IBM XIVÂ® Storage System: Power Consumption Reinvented

Reducing power consumption is one of the most significant challenges of IT centers today. With storage needs on a steep rise, it is increasingly clear that new approaches must be explored. This IBM whitepaper shows how, on average, a traditional storage system using mirroring effectively uses less than 21% of its raw capacity, and an XIV system uses approximately 46% of its raw capacity.
