A traffic control method for service quality assurance in an ATMnetwork

The authors describe an ATM traffic control method to avoid both long-term and short-term congestion. Call admission control and policing based on user-specified traffic parameters have mainly been studied as ways to avoid long-term congestion. However, these control methods are not practical since it is difficult for users to specify accurate values of traffic parameters that include the effects of cell collision controllers and multiplexers in the customer premises network. In order to solve the problem, they propose an intelligent call admission control method. This method consists of a function to determine user's traffic parameters by monitoring the cell traffic flow of each service and a function to statistically predict long-term congestion by using Gaussian and Poisson distributions. They show that congestion can be predicted by deriving the peak, average, and variation. They also describe how to derive traffic parameters and determine their values. To avoid short-term congestion, we propose reactive control, which drops cells with lower cell loss priority when congestion occurs, and we show the buffer construction and buffer control algorithm used to achieve this. Computer simulations prove that their control strategy is effective for cell toss sensitive services such as VBR (variable bit rate) video service

The parylene-aluminum multilayer interconnection system for wafer scale integration and wafer scale hybrid packaging

Polyimides have been considered as interlayer dielectrics for wafer scale integration (WSI) and wafer scale hybrid packaging (WSHP). However, high temperature curing steps for polyimide lead to large stresses in polyimide films. This is due to differing thermal expansion coefficients of the metal conductor, insulator and substrate materials causing yield and reliability problems. Polyimides also require the use of solvents, and tend to outgas during subsequent processing. They tend to absorb moisture with resulting degradation of dielectric constants. Also, the spin on method used to apply and planarize polyimide layers exhibits nonuniformity of thickness on large wafers. In this paper we examine parylene (Poly-p-xylylene) and some of its derivatives as possible interlayer dielectrics due to some of their attractive features. Parylene has a low dielectric constant. It can be vapor deposited at low temperatures and in vacuum. It is also highly resistant to corrosion and is a clear, transparent material with possible use for optical interconnections. This paper studies the reactive ion etching properties for polyimides and parylenes in an oxygen containing plasma under identical conditions. The etching rates of the parylenes and polyimides have been compared. The surface properties of these polymers are examined. Further, the film growth properties of aluminum deposited on the etched surfaces using the ionized cluster beam are investigated.     

Label‐QoS switching protocol for quality of service assurance in dynamic swarm robot local network

This paper presents the modeling and analysis of a proposed label–quality of service (QoS) switching protocol for heterogeneous robot in a swarm. Establishing the data communication and network in multirobot task allocation is an important aspect in robot collaboration. Instead of passing the data through the cloud network, each robot can be configured as a node in its swarm for intercommunication. This research was conducted to model and propose aggregation and classification methods in a swarm robot network inspired from multiprotocol label switching, namely, label‐QoS switching protocol. Each packet of data is forwarded with a proposed 2‐side label values that are concerned with addressing and QoS. This proposed protocol was applied in each of the node's routing, and it was set up with forwarding information table. The simulation and analysis were conducted in 2 situations: (1) with a constant n–label switch mobile robot and a number of packet data increasing with time and (2) with a constant number of packet and varying n–label switch mobile robot by time. With reference to the network parameter performances, it shows that the anomaly treatment by the proposed protocol is able to prioritize the data forwarding between the robots at the edge of the swarm with class of service although the robot community at the center is increasing or getting crowded.

A novel joint transmission and caching optimizing scheme in multirelay networks: Video service quality assurance scheme

The demands of instant video communication have recently increased as a means to improve user experience. Meanwhile, the cache mechanism has become an effective technology used in video transmission so that delay jitter could be reduced to a insignificant value. We propose a novel video service quality assurance scheme in multirelay networks (MRNs) with cache. Both wireless channel state information on the transmitting side and optimal receiver schemes on the receiving side are considered in the proposed scheme. We derive closed form expressions of video streaming for cache‐based MRN and investigate the impact of cache length when it is changed. Then, we proved that the optimal solution is difficult to acquire, and the suboptimal solution could be achieved by decomposing the original optimization problem into several simpler subproblems, which include graph and convex optimization. Specifically, we obtain a limit for the cache queuing model in MRNs. Detailed algorithms with corresponding theoretical reasoning are provided as well. Simulations demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed scheme by comparing with some other existed high–video‐quality transmission schemes. The analysis also shows that our scheme outperforms others in jitter reducing.

Scalable monitoring support for resource management and service assurance

Continuous monitoring of network status and its resources are necessary to ensure proper network operation. Deployment of QoS-based value-added services in IP networks necessitates the employment of resource management techniques and specifically the use of traffic engineering. The latter typically relies on monitoring data for both offline proactive and dynamic reactive solutions. The variety of data to be collected and analyzed using different measurement methods and tools, and the extent of monitoring information to use demand a proper QoS monitoring infrastructure. A monitoring system should be scalable in terms of network size, speed, and number of customers subscribed to value-added services. This article investigates the requirements of scalable monitoring system architectures, proposes principles for designing such systems, and validates them through the design and implementation of a scalable monitoring system for QoS delivery in IP differentiated services networks. Experimental assessment results prove the accuracy and scalability of the proposed monitoring system.

A policy-based quality of service management system for IP DiffServnetworks

Policy-based management can guide the behavior of a network or distributed system through high-level declarative directives that are dynamically introduced, checked for consistency, refined, and evaluated, resulting typically in a series of low-level actions. We actually view policies as a means of extending the functionality of management systems dynamically, in conjunction with preexisting hard-wired management logic. We first discuss the policy management aspects of architecture for managing quality of service in IP DiffServ networks as presented by Trimintzios et al. (see IEEE Commun. Mag., Special Issue in IP Operations and Management, vol.39, no.5, p.80-88, 2001), and focus on the functionality of the dimensioning and resource management aspects. We then present an analysis of the policies that can influence the dimensioning behavior as well as the inconsistencies that may be caused by the introduction of such policies. Finally, we describe the design and implementation of the generic policy consumer component and present the current implementation status

Session integration service over multiple devices

One of the most important research subjects in session initiation protocol (SIP) is mobility management. Session mobility is a key issue in SIP mobility management. Session mobility is an advanced feature that maintains an ongoing media session from one device to another. In this paper, we consider the issue of session mobility and propose a complete integrated solution, referred to as ‘session integration service’, to transfer an ongoing media session over multiple devices. To provide flexibility in session mobility, three new agent states are introduced based on the user agent definition. They consist of session manager, session user, and free node. This paper also proposes two split session integration methods for session integration service based on these three agents. The proposed method provides session mobility flexibility and allows the user the ability to transfer, split, and retrieve a session over multiple devices. Moreover, the split session can be integrated in any devices. To ensure session mobility over multiple devices, the session integration service will be implemented through a modification of the open source project ‘SIP‐communicator’.

Software quality assurance: Testing and validation

There are many pitfalls for the unwary hardware engineer who must develop software. In particular, hardware quality control procedures and concepts can easily be misapplied. The purpose of this paper is to help hardware-oriented engineers apply some of the quality assurance lessons learned by software engineers. We first discuss how software is and is not analogous to hardware, and then outline recommended software engineering approaches for developing high-quality software products. We concentrate on methods for preventing and detecting software error.
