Microcellular solutions in wireless ATM networks increase the network traffic control as a result of frequent handover requests.
The blocking probability or the forced termination probability presents a quality of service criterion for evaluation of certain
handover techniques. This paper presents a handover protocol that can avoid cell loss and guarantee cell sequence, and a two
layer wireless call admission control is studied, using Markov state diagrams, in order to optimize the performance of wireless
ATM networks.

In this paper priority is assigned to the handover calls over new call attempts and blocked handover calls are placed in a
finite storage queue. Total handover forced termination probability is evaluated and a suitable function for the mean service
time at each position in the queue is theoretically estimated. Quality of service is obtained by introducing a threshold in
the maximum waiting time of a handover call in the queue. In case the handover call mean service time at each queue position
is found to be greater than this threshold, this call will be blocked. Simulation results show that this scheme provides satisfactory
results for both types of calls.

This paper presents a technique which is based on pattern recognition techniques, in order to estimate Mobile Terminal (MT)
velocity. The proposed technique applies on received signal strength (RSS) measurements and more precisely on information
extracted from Iub air interface, in wIDeband code-division multiple access (WCDMA) systems for transmission control purposes.
Pattern recognition is performed by HIDden Markov Model (HMM), which is trained with downlink signal strength measurements
for specific areas, employing Clustering LARge Applications (CLARA) like a clustering method. Accurate results from a single
probe vehicle show the potential of the method, when applied to large scale of MTs.

The wireless beyond 3G systems or the so called Composite Radio Environments (CRE) (or even 4G systems), consist of multiple
type radio access technologies, collaborating with each other, providing both diverse access alternatives and QoS improvement,
especially as far as concerns protection against traffic congestion and loss of radio coverage situations. The merits deriving
from beyond 3G systems interest not only network and service providers but also the mobile users. Additionally, the need of
broadband wireless access is directly associated with the intense demand for IP multimedia services (e.g. video streaming
or high speed web browsing), mainly inside hot-spot areas. Taking into consideration the above described tendency in the area
of wireless network systems, the IP-enabled DVB-T (the terrestrial specification of the Digital Video Broadcasting family)
systems appear as an attractive alternative network access in the CRE context. Along this direction, this paper presents the
most important aspects of a CRE network management system (NMS), focusing on the component responsible for the DVB-T resource
management (RM). Finally, we implement and investigate through simulation a greedy algorithm suitable for DVB-T networks that
performs fast resource management and configuration. We also provide some indicative results which prove that the algorithm
demonstrates a close to optimal performance at the RM functionality.

This paper reports results from wideband MIMO measurements performed in short range fixed wireless environments at 5.2 GHz. The objective is to provide MIMO channel characterization results for the measured environments and contribute to the limited available similar studies. Two kinds of propagation scenarios are investigated, rooftop to rooftop and street to rooftop, at three different sites always under LOS propagation conditions. The analysis of measurement data is performed in the context of non physical modeling, providing insight into the statistics of the measured channels. In particular, the slow time varying nature of the channel is studied and the narrow Doppler spectrum shape is approximated. Furthermore, frequency correlation results are obtained and the typical delay dispersion measures are extracted. Then, the antenna correlation is studied and the error of the Kronecker product approximation is evaluated. Finally, capacity results are provided and the channel measurements are characterized in terms of spatial multiplexing quality and multipath richness through condition number analysis.

Wireless multihop mobile networks, also known as ad hoc networks, are characterized by stochastic topology variations. Random
movements of mobile hosts in and out of each other's range encumber smooth system operation and impose limitations on the
network performance. Various routing protocols suitable for such networks have been proposed however implementation and performance
issues are still considered top research priorities. This paper proposes a new reactive protocol that introduces the use of
sequence numbers for evaluating validity of cached routing information when source routing and route caching are used. The
new protocol reduces the possibility of using and spreading across the network stale routing information therefore reduces
the overhead involved in finding a route. To demonstrate the performance of the proposed protocol we compare it, through a
detailed simulation model, with Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) protocol which also uses source routing and route caching. Results
prove that the proposed protocol effectively reduces use of stale routing information, improving performance compared to DSR
in terms of both delivery ratio and routing overhead.

The continuous increase of the computational power of programmable processors has established them as an attractive design
alternative, for implementation of the most computationally intensive applications, like video compression. To enforce this
trend, designers implementing applications on programmable platforms have to be provided with reliable and in-depth data and
instruction analysis that will allow for the early selection of the most appropriate application for a given set of specifications.
To address this need, we introduce a new methodology for early and accurate estimation of the number of instructions required
for the execution of an application, together with the number of data memory transfers on a programmable processor. The high-level
estimation is achieved by a series of mathematical formulas; these describe not only the arithmetic operations of an application,
but also its control and addressing operations, if it is executed on a programmable core. The comparative study, which is
done using three popular processors (ARM, MIPS, and Pentium), shows the high efficiency and accuracy of the methodology proposed,
in terms of the number of executed (micro-)instructions (i.e. performance) and the number of data memory transfers (i.e. memory
power consumption). Using the proposed methodology we estimated an average deviation of 23% in our estimated figures compared
with the measurements taken from the real execution on the CPUs.

One of the most critical issues in introducing Wireless LAN (WLAN) real-time and delay sensitive applications, such as Voice
over IP (VoIP), is guaranteeing IP service continuation during inter-subnet Basic Service Set (BSS) transitions. Even though
WLANs offer very high channel bandwidth, they exhibit long network-layer handoff latency. This is a restraining factor for
mobile clients using interactive multimedia applications such as VoIP or video streaming. In a previous work, we presented
a novel fast and efficient IP mobility solution, called “IP-IAPP”, which offers constant IP connectivity to the 802.11 mobile
users and successfully preserves their ongoing sessions, even during subnet handoffs (fast recovery of active connections).
It is an 802.11-dependent IP mobility solution, which accelerates the network reconfiguration phase after subnet handoffs
and significantly reduces the IP handoff latency. It restores L3 connectivity almost simultaneously to the L2 connectivity
after a subnet handoff, due to a zero-delay movement detection method. As a result, even the most demanding next generation
WLAN applications such as Voice over WLAN (VoWLAN) suffer insignificant disruption. In this paper we present an improved version
of the IP-IAPP mobility mechanism (new optimized protocol procedures). Certain extensions have also been incorporated to the
initial proposal, for the provision of more advanced services: (a) secure inter-AP IP-IAPP communications, (b) zero patching
on the clients s/w, and (c) support of clients which use a dynamic IP address. Performance measurements out of further and
more complex testing verify that the proposed method outperforms other existing mobility solutions, and still introduces the
lesser imperative amendments to the existing 802.11 wireless LAN framework.

Noise due to the sensor and the electronics of a camera is an undesirable issue in any machine vision application. Such noise
tends to corrupt images and to obstruct any further analysis. An algorithm to detect and cancel such noise, using statistical
methods, is presented in this paper. The proposed algorithm is an adaptive mean filter, which filters out image regions that
are found to be noise corrupted. The efficiency of the proposed filter was examined both qualitatively and quantitatively,
by software simulation in several noisy conditions. The main advantage of the filter in hand is that it is appropriate for
hardware implementation and can be easily incorporated to smart cameras. The hardware implementation of the filter is also
presented in this paper. This implementation aims at time critical applications such as machine vision, inspection and visual
surveillance.

Minimum-Energy Broadcasting in Multi-hop Wireless Networks Using a Single Broadcast Tree 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
In this paper we address the minimum-energy broadcast problem in multi-hop wireless networks, so that all broadcast requests
initiated by different source nodes take place on the same broadcast tree. Our approach differs from the most commonly used one where the determination of the broadcast tree depends
on the source node, thus resulting in different tree construction processes for different source nodes. Using a single broadcast
tree simplifies considerably the tree maintenance problem and allows scaling to larger networks. We first show that, using
the same broadcast tree, the total power consumed for broadcasting from a given source node is at most twice the total power
consumed for broadcasting from any other source node. We next develop a polynomial-time approximation algorithm for the construction
of a single broadcast tree. The performance analysis of the algorithm indicates that the total power consumed for broadcasting
from any source node is within 2H(n−1) from the optimal, where n is the number of nodes in the network and H(n) is the harmonic function. This approximation ratio is close to the best achievable bound in polynomial time. We also provide
a useful relation between the minimum-energy broadcast problem and the minimum spanning tree, which shows that a minimum spanning
tree may be a good candidate in sparsely connected networks. The performance of our algorithm is also evaluated numerically
with simulations.

An overlay smart spaces system, called MITOS, is proposed for managing the use of the resources in wireless local area networks
(WLAN). MITOS monitors the traffic load distribution in the different WLAN segments, as well as the location of each user,
and when necessary, suggests to specific users to change their location in order to improve their quality of service. Enhancements
to the basic MITOS architecture are introduced to intelligently manage local congestion, and maintain an almost uniform load
level across the network. The approach used for load balancing is based on game theoretic mechanisms, such as the solutions
to the Santa Fe Bar Problem. Simulation results are provided showing the efficiency of the proposed system.

LMDS networks are fixed radio systems providing advanced telecommunication services to a variety of users. Millimeter wave frequencies above 20 GHz have been allocated to LMDS systems by ITU-R and CEPT. The design of LMDS systems must take into account how interference affects performance considering the dominant propagation impairments in these frequencies. In the present paper, cell-site diversity, an effective fade mitigation countermeasure for LMDS systems, is considered for the reduction of intersystem interference on downstream LMDS channels. The intersystem cochannel interference may originate from adjacent LMDS networks or from point-to-point links operating at the same frequencies. A physical propagation model for the calculation of carrier-to-interference ratio diversity gain for the downstream channel is presented. Numerical results focus on the impact of frequency of operation, the subscriber's service availability and the climatic conditions on the interference analysis of LMDS networks either using or not cell site diversity.

A well designed Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol for wireless networks should provide an efficient mechanism to share the limited bandwidth resources, and satisfy the diverse and usually contradictory Quality of Service (QoS) requirements of each traffic class. In this paper a new MAC protocol for next generation wireless communications is presented and investigated. The protocol uses a combined Packet Discard/Forward Error Correction scheme in order to efficiently integrate MPEG-4 videoconference packet traffic with voice, SMS data and web packet traffic over a noisy wireless channel of high capacity. Our scheme achieves high aggregate channel throughput in all cases of traffic load, while preserving the Quality of Service (QoS) requirements of each traffic type, and is shown to clearly outperform DPRMA, another efficient MAC protocol proposed in the literature for multimedia traffic integration over wireless networks.

In this work numerical simulation and measurements of three-dimensional radiation patterns of a mobile handset model in the presence of a human head phantom were performed at 1800 MHz. Based on theoretical and experimental results, the influence of the human head on the radiation efficiency of the handset has been investigated as a function of the handset size and the distance between the head and the handset during its operation. Furthermore, the relative amount of the electromagnetic power absorbed in the head has been obtained. It was found that significant reduction of the absorbed power (about 50%) with proportional increment of the handset radiation efficiency could be achieved by moving the phone for 1 cm only away from the head. Agreement between theoretical and experimental results was found to be very good.Theodore Zervos was born in Athens, Greece, on October 5, 1978.

The paper presents an analytical model for the performance evaluation of IEEE 802.11e EDCA scheme under finite load conditions
on the basis of various instances of delay metric (i.e., media access delay, queuing delay and total delay). The simulation
results show that the analytical estimated instances of the delay metric are almost accurate. The paper exhibits that concerning
the delay of serving classes, EDCA compared to the conventional DCF, favors high priority classes against low priority ones,
while almost does not affect the behavior of medium ones.

In this paper, we develop an analytical model to evaluate the delay performance of the burst-frame-based CSMA/CA protocol
under unsaturated conditions, which has not been fully addressed in the literature. Our delay analysis is unique in that we
consider the end-to-end packet delay, which is the duration from the epoch that a packet enters the queue at the MAC layer
of the transmitter side to the epoch that the packet is successfully received at the receiver side. The analytical results
give excellent agreement with the simulation results, which represents the accuracy of our analytical model. The results also
provide important guideline on how to set the parameters of the burst assembly policy. Based on these results, we further
develop an efficient adaptive burst assembly policy so as to optimize the throughput and delay performance of the burst-frame-based
CSMA/CA protocol.

In this paper we design and evaluate the performance of a unified mechanism for downlink scheduling and call admission control
of multimedia traffic in a high-capacity TDMA wireless channel. In our scheme, the Base Station interacts with the Call Admission
Controller and incorporates predictions on the channel condition in its decision making. Our results show that, with the use
of the “intelligent” scheduler-admission controller mechanism, system performance is significantly enhanced compared to two
other schemes without prediction on the channel condition.
Polychronis Koutsakis was born in Hania, Greece, in 1974. He received his 5-year Diploma in Electrical Engineering in 1997 from the University
of Patras, Greece and his MSc and Ph.D. degrees in Electronic and Computer Engineering in 1999 and 2002, respectively, from
the Technical University of Crete, Greece. He is currently a Visiting Lecturer at the Electronic and Computer Engineering
Department of the same University. His research interests focus on the design, modeling and performance evaluation of wireless
personal communication networks, and especially on the design and evaluation of multiple access schemes for multimedia integration
over wireless and mobile satellite networks, on call admission control and traffic policing schemes for both wireless and
wired networks and on traffic modeling. Dr. Koutsakis has authored more than 25 peer-reviewed papers in the above mentioned
areas, and serves as a reviewer for many of the major journal publications focused on his research field. He is a member of
the Greek Chamber of Professional Engineers and of the Greek Association of Electrical and Mechanical Engineers. 相似文献

Three alternative schemes for secure Virtual Private Network (VPN) deployment over the Universal Mobile Telecommunication
System (UMTS) are proposed and analyzed. The proposed schemes enable a mobile node to voluntarily establish an IPsec-based
secure channel to a private network. The alternative schemes differ in the location where the IPsec functionality is placed
within the UMTS network architecture (mobile node, access network, and UMTS network border), depending on the employed security
model, and whether data in transit are ever in clear-text, or available to be tapped by outsiders. The provided levels of
privacy in the deployed VPN schemes, as well as the employed authentication models are examined. An analysis in terms of cost,
complexity, and performance overhead that each method imposes to the underlying network architecture, as well as to the mobile
devices is presented. The level of system reliability and scalability in granting security services is presented. The VPN
management, usability, and trusted relations, as well as their behavior when a mobile user moves are analyzed. The use of
special applications that require access to encapsulated data traffic is explored. Finally, an overall comparison of the proposed
schemes from the security and operation point of view summarizes their relative performance.
