Research on bandwidth reservation in IEEE 802.16 (WiMAX) networks

2007 IEEE International Conference on Telecommunications and Malaysia International Conference on Communications, 2007

According to the characteristics and QoS requirements of different types of service flows, this paper proposes a dynamic, prediction-based, multi-class, adaptive bandwidth reservation scheme for IEEE 802.16 (WiMAX) networks. The scheme adopts different bandwidth reservation and admission control policies to different types of service flows and therefore guarantees that the real-time sessions have higher priorities than non realtime sessions and that handover sessions have higher priorities than new sessions. In addition, a bandwidth reservation adaptation algorithm is also proposed. The algorithm adjusts the amount of bandwidth reserved for handover sessions according to the current network conditions thus creating a balance between new session blocking rate and handover session dropping rate.

A Novel Scheme for Packet Scheduling and Bandwidth Allocation in WiMAX Networks

2011

Radio Resource Management (RRM) techniques used in the Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) can provide for many of the services and features promised by 4G wireless networks, such as supporting multimedia services with high data rates, and wide coverage area, as well as all-IP with security and Quality of Service (QoS) support. The IEEE 802.16 standard, associated with the WiMAX, leaves the details of RRM components open for the vendors to explore. In this paper we propose a novel scheme for the QoS support in WiMAX including packet scheduling and bandwidth allocation strategies. The proposed solution efficiently enhances performance and utilizes resources, while being fair, practical and in compliance with the IEEE 802.16 standard specifications. Our solution provides QoS support to all traffic classes defined by the standard, and it dynamically changes the bandwidth allocation based on the traffic characteristics and service demands. Simulation results show that the proposed solution can deliver QoS support and be fair to all classes of service in a WiMAX network.

New Bandwidth Allocation in Wimax Scheduling Algorithm for Improving Throughput and Delay

International Journal of Research in Engineering and Technology, 2016

Internet technology has rapidly changed in the last decade. It provides the quality in the ease of access and improved cost effectiveness, which makes it communication network of the day. The vast use of the internet is because of excessive services provided by it like checking sent emails, video applications, online tickets and chatting etc. which is increasing day by day. But, there are some technical challenges need to be resolved. IEEE802.16 standard provide the future worldwide deployment of Broadband Wireless. It is capable of enabling millions of nodes to use wireless Internet, at cheaper cost & ease. WiMAX wireless coverage will be measured in square kilo meters whereas Wi-Fi is measured only in square meters. Wi-Fi had the lack of providing network guarantees like error rate, delay in packets and throughput. These guarantees are accounted during effective real time transmission of Voice over IP and video conferencing using internet. In this paper we emphasize on a MAC scheduling algorithms of WiMAX & its implementation steps in ns-2 for IEEE 802.16 standards.

Scheduling in IEEE 802.16 e mobile WiMAX networks: key issues and a survey

Selected Areas in …, 2009

Interest in broadband wireless access (BWA) has been growing due to increased user mobility and the need for data access at all times. IEEE 802.16e based WiMAX networks promise the best available quality of experience for mobile data service users. Unlike wireless LANs, WiMAX networks incorporate several quality of service (QoS) mechanisms at the Media Access Control (MAC) level for guaranteed services for data, voice and video. The problem of assuring QoS is basically that of how to allocate available resources among users in order to meet the QoS criteria such as delay, delay jitter and throughput requirements. IEEE standard does not include a standard scheduling mechanism and leaves it for implementer differentiation. Scheduling is, therefore, of special interest to all WiMAX equipment makers and service providers. This paper discusses the key issues and design factors to be considered for scheduler designers. In addition, we present an extensive survey of recent scheduling research. We classify the proposed mechanisms based on the use of channel conditions. The goals of scheduling are to achieve the optimal usage of resources, to assure the QoS guarantees, to maximize goodput and to minimize power consumption while ensuring feasible algorithm complexity and system scalability.

Resource Allocation in IEEE 802.16 Mobile WiMAX

2010

In this chapter, we focus on the management of resource allocation and scheduling in IEEE 802.16 e based mobile WiMAX networks. Since mobile WiMAX uses orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA), the scheduling issues can apply for other OFDMA-based networks as well. Unlike wireless LANs, WiMAX networks incorporate several Quality of Service (QoS) mechanisms at the media access control (MAC) layer for guaranteed services for data, voice, and video.

Resource allocation in IEEE 802.16e mobile WiMAX networks: Survey

2013

WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) provides Internet access across the and have a wide range of services. It has been observed many researchers working on quality of services, applications and resource allocation. WiMAX networks incorporate several Quality of Services (QoS) mechanisms for guaranteed services for data, voice and video. The problem of assuring QoS is that how to allocate available resources. For resource allocation, what are the parameters to be define because the IEEE standard does not include any scheduling mechanism. It has become an important problem to solve more efficiently for the manufacturer to design the equipment, which should handle the resources optimum and efficient way. The paper discusses the key issues and design factor to be considered for the resource allocation. We also present the resource allocation techniques proposed ideas. We classify the proposed channel condition based hybrid mechanism. The goal of this study is to elaborate the proposed techniques, which are used for resource allocation.

Performance Analysis of QoS Scheduling in Broadband IEEE 802.16 Based Networks

This paper presents the design and performance analysis of a scheduling technique for the provision of QoS over Broadband Wireless Access Networks (BWA). The proposed scheduling algorithm is based on the MAC protocol of the IEEE 802.16 standard and focuses on the uplink channel, which is the limiting factor of BWA networks and is critical in the delivery of services to individual users. Although the IEEE 802.16 standard had proposed several QoS service classes for various types of applications, they do not suggest how to schedule traffic to fulfill timing critical services such as compresed/uncompresed voice, audio and video streams. We have derived a mechanism called EBSA that combines several scheduling algorithms to closely match VBR-like and CBR-like traffic over the IEEE 802.16 air interface. Simulation results show that EBSA provides real-time services with very low access delays even during congestion periods.

Design of Scheduling Algorithm for QoS Management on WiMAX Networks

The apparition of high speed networks and the fast evolution of communication offer currently an unlimited access to an important number of applications. The applications constraints (videoconferencing, communications, VoIP, applications multimedia, etc…) are more complex for wireless systems because they require more constraints: high throughput, low packet loss, low latencies and gigue delays. All present flows in the WiMAX network must share the same medium capacity. Therefore, WiMAX is required to fulfill QoS requirements of any application and information passing over the network. Several mechanisms for QoS management have been studied, among these mechanisms there is an appropriate scheduler implementation for packets carried on WiMAX network which can increase QoS achievement possibility.WiMAX module used in our simulation deploys scheduling algorithms (FIFO, FQ, DRR, and WFQ) to deal with packets transmission. This paper is aimed at evaluating these algorithms in relation with WiMAX network performance. Performance metrics reported in this work are packet loss, throughput, and average delay. This paper tries to design an architecture which is able to convey the data belonging to various classes of traffic that guarantee their respective needs. Simulation results can show the performance of scheduling schemes used in this architecture.

Design and Implementation of an Efficient Scheduling Algorithm for QoS Management in WiMAX

2014

Due to the costly spectrum and ever growing demand for multimedia services, it thus become important to optimise and design appropriate scheduling algorithms and channel management techniques to maximise throughput and QoS. In this paper, the IEEE 802.16e standard based Mobile WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) system is explored for the purpose of Quality of Service provisioning. Since the standard does not specify a specific scheduling algorithm for polling services, hence a well thought out algorithm will be of great contribution to the area under investigation. An in-depth study of the Modified Deficit Round Robin (MDRR) scheduling algorithm has been provided. Modifications have been made to the existing scheduler and the refined new MDRR scheduler is implemented in OPNET Modeler. Results from the simulations obtained show that the designed algorithm works well with latency and throughput constraints as well as with the Quality of Service demands of the WiMA...
