A Managed Bandwidth Reservation Protocol for Ad Hoc Networks

Tags:
bandwidth issues

Overview Mobile ad hoc networks are an evolution of wireless networks in which no fixed infrastructure is needed. Nodes communicate directly between each other, without the need for a base station. Most of the works in ad hoc networks have been dedicated to routing problems. The field of QoS providing is still widely open. But this issue is very challenging in ad hoc networks where the bandwidth is scarce, the packet transmissions are more subject to errors and the network is highly dynamic. This paper presents a bandwidth reservation framework for ad hoc networks that includes a reservation protocol that is strongly coupled to an authorization framework implemented within the management plane using a policy-based approach.

Peter Cochrane's Uncommon Sense: Circuit or packet, clean or dirty?

Instead of a known and dedicated connection, each packet may arrive by a vastly different routing. It was the need for computer communication that created the packet switched philosophy to obviate the need for 100 per cent dedicated circuits.

IP over everything?

We've already launched our IP VPN QoS network and that is connected using SDH infrastructure but uses Cisco Systems core routing technology," says Rob Thomas, product marketing director at C&W. The service provider uses Ethernet to transport IP...

Niklas Zennström: Telecoms troublemaker

Zennström sees it as "a natural evolution" for Skype, already available on Pocket PC, to work on smart phones over mobile networks. One dark cloud looming over the VoIP market is regulation - which right now it's free of but which could certainly...

Peter Cochrane's Blog: Fat cat telcos are killing the net

In order to achieve any reasonable QoS level it is necessary to nail down routings on a call-by-call, session-by-session basis. The net as it stands is a wonderfully chaotic place, fundamentally incapable of providing any form of real-time service...

Vodafone CEO warns of Apple, Google threat

Q is for QoS Sarin also called for an end to the competition between WiMax and LTE (long term evolution), saying WiMax could be happily accommodated under the LTE umbrella, rather than having "duelling standards".

Is your network performance getting you down?

Other common bugbears include bandwidth consumption, application latency, sporadic performance errors and ensuring application delivery. Globally, migration to multi-protocol label switching (MPLS) data networks appears to be steady, the survey...

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?

Telecom 2.0: Mind over matter

ntl:Telewest Business believes that the role of the telco is evolving. Gone are the days when it was enough to simply focus on circuits and minutes, customers now need a far higher degree of interaction and look for suppliers who will talk business solutions with them.
