This paper presents a novel utility-based connection admission control (CAC) scheme for IEEE 802.16e broadband wireless access networks. We develop specific utility functions for real-time and non-real-time services coupled with a handover process. Given these utility functions we characterize the network utility with respect to the allocated bandwidth, and further propose a CAC algorithm which admits a connection that conducts to the greatest utility so as to maximize the total resource utilization. The simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed CAC algorithm in terms of network utility.

QoS-aware Two-level Dynamic Uplink Bandwidth Allocation Algorithms in IEEE 802.16j Based Vehicular Networks

Wireless communications play an important role in improving transportation environment safety and providing Internet access for vehicles. This paper proposes a QoS-aware two-level uplink dynamic bandwidth allocation (DBA) algorithm for IEEE 802.16j-based vehicular networks. IEEE 802.16j is an extension of standard IEEE 802.16 to support relay mode operation where traffics from/to subscriber stations (SS) are relayed to/from a base station (BS) via a relay station (RS). In such a vehicular network, the IEEE 802.16j BSs are installed along a highway, RSs are installed in large vehicles such as coaches, and the 802.16j interface is equipped on SSs such as individual passengers’ mobile devices within a moving coach. In the proposed DBA algorithm, a utility function, which considers characteristics of different types of services, is designed. The objective of the proposed two-level DBA algorithm is to allocate bandwidth to different types of services from BS to RSs and then from a RS to SSs with given quality of service (QoS) requirements. It aims at maximizing the utility of the overall network and minimizing the average queuing delay of the overall network. The simulation results show the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed DBA algorithm.     

Cross-layer Scheduling Algorithms for IEEE 802.16 Based Wireless Mesh Networks

Wireless mesh network (WMN) is emerging as an important networking architecture for future wireless communications. The mesh mode supported in IEEE 802.16 protocol provides a TDMA solution for WMN, in which scheduling is an important issue. In this paper, we discuss the issues on how to satisfy a set of bandwidth requests in IEEE 802.16 WMNs using minimal radio resources (or solving minimal schedule length problem). In consideration of transmission overhead and adaptive modulation and coding (AMC), two cross-layer scheduling algorithms are proposed, namely max-transmission and priority-based algorithms. In particular, they are proposed based on a physical interference model, instead of a protocol interference model as suggested in the literature. For the priority-based algorithm, we study several priority criteria based on different cross-layer information. An iterative scheme for QoS traffic is introduced to guarantee fairness when traffic load exceeds the network capacity. Simulation results show that our algorithms outperform the existing schemes based on protocol model, and they also ensure better fairness among different nodes.     

Efficient Uplink Bandwidth Request with Delay Regulation for Real-Time Service in Mobile WiMAX Networks

The emerging broadband wireless access technology based on IEEE 802.16 is one of the most promising solutions to provide ubiquitous wireless access to the broadband service at low cost. This paper proposes an efficient uplink bandwidth request-allocation algorithm for real-time services in Mobile WiMAX networks based on IEEE 802.16e. In order to minimize bandwidth wastage without degrading quality of service (QoS), we introduce a notion of target delay and propose dual feedback architecture. The proposed algorithm calculates the amount of bandwidth request such that the delay is regulated around the desired level to minimize delay violation and delay jitter for real-time services. Also, it can increase utilization of wireless channel by making use of dual feedback, where the bandwidth request is adjusted based on the information about the backlogged amount of traffic in the queue and the rate mismatch between packet arrival and service rates. Due to the target delay and dual feedback, the proposed scheme can control delay and allocate bandwidth efficiently while satisfying QoS requirement. The stability of the proposed algorithm is analyzed from a control-theoretic viewpoint, and a simple design guideline is derived based on this analysis. By implementing the algorithm in OPNET simulator, its performance is evaluated in terms of queue regulation, optimal bandwidth allocation, delay controllability, and robustness to traffic characteristics.     

Call admission control scheme with normalized quality of service metric in IEEE 802.16 networks

IEEE 802.16 network introduces a multimedia data scheduling service with different quality of service (QoS) requirements. The scheduling service manages transmission resources according to data types, satisfying the requirements of different connections or users. On the basis of the data types defined in the service, we discuss a normalized QoS metric for the multimedia connections in the paper. The QoS value of a connection can be determined just by three components: the data type of the connection, its desired resources, and its allocated resources. Then, we propose an optimum bandwidth allocation solution, which can maximize the utility of base station. Next, we propose a call admission control scheme utilizing the bandwidth allocation solution. In the scheme, the occupied resource of ongoing connections will be regulated for the entry admission of a new connection, without degrading the network performance and the QoS of ongoing connections. Finally, the simulation results confirm that the proposed scheme with the normalized QoS can achieve better trade‐off between ongoing connections and new connections.Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Neural bandwidth allocation function (NBAF) control scheme at WiMAX MAC layer interface

The paper proposes a bandwidth allocation scheme to be applied at the interface between upper layers (IP, in this paper) and Medium Access Control (MAC) layer over IEEE 802.16 protocol stack. The aim is to optimally tune the resource allocation to match objective QoS (Quality of Service) requirements. Traffic flows characterized by different performance requirements at the IP layer are conveyed to the IEEE 802.16 MAC layer. This process leads to the need for providing the necessary bandwidth at the MAC layer so that the traffic flow can receive the requested QoS. The proposed control algorithm is based on real measures processed by a neural network and it is studied within the framework of optimal bandwidth allocation and Call Admission Control in the presence of statistically heterogeneous flows. Specific implementation details are provided to match the application of the control algorithm by using the existing features of 802.16 request–grant protocol acting at MAC layer. The performance evaluation reported in the paper shows the quick reaction of the bandwidth allocation scheme to traffic variations and the advantage provided in the number of accepted calls.
