Link‐disjoint paths for reliable QoS routing

The problem of finding link/node‐disjoint paths between a pair of nodes in a network has received much attention in the past. This problem is fairly well understood when the links in a network are only specified by a single link weight. However, in the context of quality of service routing, links are specified by multiple link weights and restricted by multiple constraints. Unfortunately, the problem of finding link/node disjoint paths in multiple dimensions faces different conceptual problems. This paper presents a first step to understanding these conceptual problems in link‐disjoint quality of service routing and proposes a heuristic link‐disjoint QoS algorithm that circumvents these problems.

QoS routing through alternate paths in wireless ad hoc networks

Quality of service (QoS) routing plays an important role in QoS provisioning for mobile ad hoc networks. This work studies the issue of route selection subject to QoS constraint(s). Our method searches for alternate routes with satisfied QoS requirement(s) to accommodate each communication request when the shortest path connecting the source–destination pair of the request is not qualified. In order to effectively reduce protocol overhead, a directed search mechanism is designed to limit the breadth of the searching scope, which aims at achieving a graceful tradeoff between the success probability in QoS route acquisition and communication overhead. Efficient hop‐by‐hop routing protocols are designed for route selection subject to delay and bandwidth constraint, respectively. Simulation results show that the designed protocols can achieve high performance in acquiring QoS paths and in efficient resource utilization with low control overhead.

A resource‐tuned QoS multicast routing protocol

This paper presents a novel framework for quality‐of‐service (QoS) multicast routing with resource allocation that represents QoS parameters, jitter delay, and reliability, as functions of adjustable network resources, bandwidth, and buffer, rather than static metrics. The particular functional form of QoS parameters depends on rate‐based service disciplines used in the routers. This allows intelligent tuning of QoS parameters as functions of allocated resources during the multicast tree search process, rather than decoupling the tree search from resource allocation. The proposed framework minimizes the network resource utilization while keeping jitter delay, reliability, and bandwidth bounded. This definition makes the proposed QoS multicast routing with resource allocation problem more general than the classical minimum Steiner tree problem. As an application of our general framework, we formulate the QoS multicast routing with resource allocation problem for a network consisting of generalized processor sharing nodes as a mixed‐integer quadratic program and find the optimal multicast tree with allocated resources to satisfy the QoS constraints. We then present a polynomial‐time greedy heuristic for the QoS multicast routing with resource allocation problem and compare its performance with the optimal solution of the mixed‐integer quadratic program. The simulation results reveal that the proposed heuristic finds near‐optimal QoS multicast trees along with important insights into the interdependency of QoS parameters and resources.     

基于免疫--蚂蚁算法的多约束QoS路由选择

针对多约束QoS路由选择问题,将其转化为一个多约束赋权图最短路径问题,选择费用、带宽、时延、丢失率为QoS参数。借鉴人体免疫系统的适应能力和蚂蚁算法的全局寻优能力提出了一种新的融合算法即免疫——蚂蚁算法。免疫算法把目标函数和制约条件作为抗原,目标函数的优化解对应为抗体,使得求解过程的收敛方向得以控制;利用蚂蚁算法产生和更新抗体,抗体交叉、变异操作以及对与抗原亲和力高的抗体进行记忆,均能促进快速求解。实验结果表明:免疫——蚂蚁算法表现出了超越免疫算法和蚂蚁算法的优点,大幅度提高了路由选择的效率。     

Bandwidth‐guaranteed QoS routing of multiple parallel paths in CDMA/TDMA ad hoc wireless networks

This paper investigates the issues of QoS routing in CDMA/TDMA ad hoc networks. Since the available bandwidth is very limited in ad hoc networks, a QoS request between two nodes will be blocked if there does not exist a path that can meet the QoS requirements, even though there is enough free bandwidth in the whole system. In this paper, we propose a new scheme of using multiple paths between two nodes as the route for a QoS call. The aggregate bandwidth of the multiple paths can meet the bandwidth requirement of the call and the delays of these paths are within the required bound of the call. We also propose three strategies by which to choose a set of paths as the route, namely, shortest path first (SPF), largest bandwidth first (LBF), and largest hop‐bandwidth first (LHBF). Extensive simulations have been conducted to evaluate the performance of the three strategies in comparison with a traditional single path routing algorithm. The simulation results show that the proposed multiple paths routing scheme significantly reduces the system blocking rates in various network environments, especially when the network load is heavy.

QoS multicast routing by using multiple paths/trees in wireless ad hoc networks

In this paper, we investigate the issues of QoS multicast routing in wireless ad hoc networks. Due to limited bandwidth of a wireless node, a QoS multicast call could often be blocked if there does not exist a single multicast tree that has the requested bandwidth, even though there is enough bandwidth in the system to support the call. In this paper, we propose a new multicast routing scheme by using multiple paths or multiple trees to meet the bandwidth requirement of a call. Three multicast routing strategies are studied, SPT (shortest path tree) based multiple-paths (SPTM), least cost tree based multiple-paths (LCTM) and multiple least cost trees (MLCT). The final routing tree(s) can meet the user’s QoS requirements such that the delay from the source to any destination node shall not exceed the required bound and the aggregate bandwidth of the paths or trees shall meet the bandwidth requirement of the call. Extensive simulations have been conducted to evaluate the performance of our three multicast routing strategies. The simulation results show that the new scheme improves the call success ratio and makes a better use of network resources.

Performance Analysis of an Adaptive Link Status Update Scheme Based on Link‐Usage Statistics for QoS Routing

In the global Internet, a constraint‐based routing algorithm performs the function of selecting a routing path while satisfying some given constraints rather than selecting the shortest path based on physical topology. It is necessary for constraint‐based routing to disseminate and update link state information. The triggering policy of link state updates significantly affects the volume of update traffic and the quality of services (QoS). In this letter, we propose an adaptive triggering policy based on link‐usage statistics in order to reduce the volume of link state update traffic without deterioration of QoS. Also, we evaluate the performance of the proposed policy via simulations.

The revisit of QoS routing based on non‐linear Lagrange relaxation

The development of efficient quality of service (QoS) routing algorithms in a high‐speed networking or the next generation IP networking environment is a very important and at the same time very difficult task due to the need to provide divergent services with multiple QoS requirements. Recently, a heuristic algorithm H_MCOP, which is based on a non‐linear Lagrange relaxation (NLR) technique, has been proposed to resolve the contradiction between the time complexity and the quality of solution. Even though H_MCOP has demonstrated outstanding capability of finding feasible solutions to the multi‐path constrained (MCP) problem, it has not exploited the full capability that an NLR‐based technique could offer. In this paper, we propose a new NLR‐based heuristic called NLR_MCP, in which the search process is interpreted from a probability's perspective. Simulation results indicate that NLR_MCP can achieve a higher probability of finding feasible solutions than H_MCOP. We also verify that the performance improvement of a MCP heuristic has a tremendous impact on the performance of a higher level heuristic that uses a MCP heuristic as the basic step.

QoS multicast routing in cognitive radio ad hoc networks

In this paper, we discussed the issues of QoS multicast routing in cognitive radio ad hoc networks. The problem of our concern was: given a cognitive radio ad hoc network and a QoS multicast request, how to find a multicast tree so that the total bandwidth consumption of the multicast is minimized while the QoS requirements are met. We proposed two methods to solve it. One is a two‐phase method. In this method, we first employed a minimal spanning tree‐based algorithm to construct a multicast tree and then proposed a slot assignment algorithm to assign timeslots to the tree links such that the bandwidth consumption of the tree is minimized. The other is an integrated method that considers the multicast routing together with the slot assignment. Extensive simulations were conducted to show the performance of our proposed methods.

An efficient QoS routing algorithm for solving MCP in ad hoc networks

Providing guaranteed quality of service (QoS) in wireless networks is a key issue for deploying multimedia applications. To support such a QoS, an arduous problem concerning how to find a feasible end to end path to satisfy multiple QoS constraints should be studied. In general, multi-constrained path selection, with or without optimization, is an NP-complete problem that cannot be exactly solved in polynomial time. Approximation algorithms and heuristics with polynomial and pseudo-polynomial time complexities are often used to deal with this problem. However, existing solutions suffer either from excessive computational complexities that cannot be used for multimedia applications in ad hoc networks characterized by mobility and performance constraints (e.g., limited energy, wireless medium, etc.). Recently a promising heuristic algorithm H_MCOP using a non linear Lagrange relaxation path functions has demonstrated an improvement in its success rate and in finding feasible paths. However, the H_MCOP is not suitable for ad hoc networks and has not exploited the full capability that a Lagrange relaxation could offer. In this paper, we propose an efficient multi-constrained path heuristic called E_MCP, which exploits efficiently the Lagrange relaxation and enhances the path search process to be adequate to mobile ad hoc networks. Using extensive simulations on random mobile network with correlated and uncorrelated link weights, we show that the same level of computational complexity, E_MCP can achieve a higher success ratio of finding feasible paths.
