Abstract:

This research deals with optimal resource management in an overloaded broadband multimedia network. Optimisation is with respect to user satisfaction, where user satisfaction reflects both the quality of service experienced by connected users and the dissatisfaction of users blocked from access to the network. The research focuses on Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) networks and the Internet, because these are the dominant emerging broadband networks which present some fundamental unsolved problems, related to the sharing of resources between mixed traffic types. ATM networks use conservative admission control, which protects network resources and ensures a high level of service for those admitted to the network, but results in low network efficiency because of low utilisation of resources due to blocking of many potential users. The Internet does not use admission control, with the result that performance degrades progressively as load increases. This causes frustration among users, and lowers the network efficiency due to high levels of congestion. We propose an optimisation model for each network (ATM networks and the Internet)which is intended to represent the distribution and consumption of key network resources by different traffic types. The model is aimed at maximising performance such that users admitted to the network are offered no less than some minimum acceptable level of quality of service (QoS). The solution is a set of traffic flow rates on each path which results in maximising an objective function value (revenue based on network operator interest or throughput based on customer interest) for a given network configuration with given user demand. As an example using the ATM network model, we illustrate the application of the model to an ATM network carrying both connection oriented and connectionless traffic. We explore the optimal response to a link failure which in turn causes node overload. As an example using the Internet model, we consider an overloaded network with link bottlenecks and an overloaded Web server, and explore the effect of transferring some server capacity to a mirror site and a proxy server. For real-time traffic control, the optimisation model is used to assign quotas for bandwidth or connections to selected paths. A control algorithm is implemented to provide maximum performance by admitting requests within the quotas which are obtained from the optimisation model. In an ATM network simulation, the algorithm is used to manage the virtual path (VP) pool in a network which suffers a link failure. A comparison is made between fixed virtual path management (FVPM) and dynamic virtual path management (DVPM), comparing the revenue achieved by each. This illustrates how DVPM adapts the VP pool in a robust fashion to achieve maximum revenue in the face of a link failure. However, the transient response suggests that benefit could be obtained using non-steady-state solutions. The model is extended by taking network state and traffic parameters into account to control changes in the VP pool to recognise limits to the rate at which traffic can be moved (through the natural birth-death processes). This scheme is called state dependent virtual path management (SDVPM). Performance evaluation of the new model shows that SDVPM achieves higher revenue than DVPM when the network suffers a link failure that requires a major change to the VP pool. In an Internet simulation, two algorithms are compared for control of access to a proxy server and a set of primary servers. An algorithm based on optimal flow solutions provides substantially better network performance than a localised heuristic algorithm. In each simulation case (ATM and Internet examples), the performance using a control system based on the steady state optimum flow model is close to the ideal optimal result.

Abstract:

Community networks (in South Africa and Africa) are often serviced by limited bandwidth network backhauls. Relative to the basic needs of the community, this is an expensive ongoing concern. In many cases the Internet connection is shared among multiple sites. Community networks may also have a lack of technical personnel to maintain a network of this nature. Hence, there is a demand for a system which will monitor and manage bandwidth use, as well as network use. The proposed solution for community networks and the focus within this dissertation, is a system of two parts. A Community Access Point (CAP) is located at each site within the community network. This provides the hosts and servers at that site with access to services on the community network and the Internet, it is the site's router. The CAP provides a web based interface (CAPgui) which allows configuration of the device and viewing of simple monitoring statistics. The Access Concentrator (AC) is the default router for the CAPs and the gateway to the Internet. It provides authenticated and encrypted communication between the network sites. The AC performs several monitoring functions, both for the individual sites and for the upstream Internet connection. The AC provides a means for centrally managing and effectively allocating Internet bandwidth by using the web based interface (ACgui). Bandwidth use can be allocated per user, per host and per site. The system is maintainable, extendable and customisable for different network architectures. The system was deployed successfully to two community networks. The Centre of Excellence (CoE) testbed network is a peri-urban network deployment whereas the Siyakhula Living Lab (SLL) network is a rural deployment. The results gathered conclude that the project was successful as the deployed system is more robust and more manageable than the previous systems.

Abstract:

The adoption of wireless broadband technologies to provide network and Internet connectivity in rural communities has conveyed the possibility to overcome the challenges caused by marginalization and many other characteristics possessed by these rural communities. With their different capabilities, these technologies enable communication for rural communities internally within the community and externally on a global scale. Deployment of these technologies in rural areas requires consideration of different factors - these are in contrast, to those considered when deploying these technologies in non-rural, urban areas. Numerous research show consideration of facts for deployment of broadband technologies in urban/ non-rural environments and a little has been done in considering facts for deployment in rural environments. Hence this research aims to define guidelines for selection of broadband technologies and make recommendations on which technologies are suitable for deployment in rural communities, thereby considering facts that are true only within these rural communities. To achieve this, the research determines the metrics that are relevant and important to consider when deploying wireless broadband technology in rural communities of South Africa. It further undertakes a survey of wireless broadband technologies that are suitable for deployment in such areas. The study first profiles a list of wireless communication technologies, determines and documents characteristics of rural communities in Africa, determines metrics used to declare technologies feasible in rural areas. The metrics and rural characteristics are then used to identify technologies that are better suited than others. Informed by this initial profiling, one technology: mobile WiMAX is then selected for deployment and further evaluation. A technical review of mobile WiMAX is then carried out by deploying it at our research site in the rural, marginalized community of Dwesa (Eastern Cape, South Africa). The final section of this research provides recommendations that mobile WiMAX, LTE and Wi-Fi are the best suitable technologies for deployment in rural marginalized environments. This has been supported by extensive research and real life deployment of both Wi-Fi and mobile WiMAX. This research also recommends consideration of the following facts when seeking deployment of these technologies in rural communities: the geographical setting of the target terrain, the distances between sources and target customers and distances between target communities, weather conditions of the area, applications to be deployed over the network, social well-being of the community and their financial freedom as well.

Resumo: A demanda por acesso a Internet banda larga tem crescido devido ao aumento da demanda por banda passante pelas aplicações que exigem altas taxas de transmissão de dados como vídeo sobre IP (IPTV) e jogos interativos. Para atender a esta demanda, tecnologias de acesso banda larga vem sendo, rapidamente, desenvolvidas. Tecnologias cabeadas em bra oferecem banda larga a altíssimas taxas, porém são custosas. Por outro lado, tecnologias de rede sem o oferecem mobilidade, porém operam a menores taxas de transmissão a baixo custo de implantação. Apesar destas vantagens, tecnologias sem o operam em espectro limitado, o que limita a banda alocável a cada usuário. A integração de redes WiMAX com redes EPON combina a grande quantidade de banda disponível em redes de acesso óptica com a mobilidade das tecnologias de rede sem o. Nesta integracão, um escalonador de banda WiMAX precisa levar em consider- ação a variabilidade da banda fornecida pelo escalonador EPON. Este trabalho propõe um mecanismo de escalonamento WiMAX chamado Decit Based QoS Uplink Scheduler (DBQUS), compatível com o padrão IEEE 802.16 e desenvolvido para a ONU-BS da rede EPON.

Abstract: The demand for broadband Internet access has grown due to the increasing demand for bandwidth by applications that require high rates such as video over IP (IPTV) and interactive gaming. To meet this demand, broadband access technologies, have been developed. Fiber cabled technologies oers high-speed access but with at high cost. On the other hand, wireless networks support mobility and demands low deployment cost but low rate transmission. Besides these advantages, wireless technologies access a limited spectrum, shared by multiple users which limite the bandwidth allocated to each user on the convergence of network access. The integration of WiMAX and EPON networks combine the large bandwidth avail- able in optical access networks with the mobility of wireless network technologies. In this integration, a WiMAX bandwidth scheduler must consider the variability of bandwidth provided by EPON scheduler. This work proposes WiMAX scheduling mechanism called Decit-Based QoS Uplink Scheduler (DBQUS) which was developed for the ONU-BS in EPON network. Simulations were conducted to evaluate the DBQUS scheduler. The Interleaved Polling with Adaptive Cycle Time (IPACT) algorithm is used in the EPON network. Results show that the proposed scheduler is able to guarantee QoS (Quality of Service) for WiMAX sta- tions even when the amount of bandwidth available is insucient to provide the WiMAX QoS requirements to all connections. Dierent simulations also showed that the DBQUS scheduler eciently distributes bandwidth between the WiMAX stations, under dierent EPON cycle times

Abstract:

The growth of Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) was considered to be the ideal carrier of the high bandwidth applications like video on demand and multimedia e-learning. ATM emerged commercially in the beginning of the 1990's. It was designed to provide a different quality of service at a speed up 100 Gbps for both real time and non real time application. The turn of the 90's saw a variety of technologies being developed. This project analyzes these technologies, compares them to the Asynchronous Transfer Mode and assesses the future of ATM.

Esta proposta visa ao suporte a garantias de desempenho individuais para os fluxos. Propomos um processo envelope denominado Processo de Chegada com Limitante Fracionário para a representação de tráfego multimidia com características fractais. Com base neste modelo, propomos o uso do algoritmo do balde furado para o policiamento do tráfego. Para o escalonamento de tráfego, propomos uma nova política em que a rede reserva uma parcela minima de banda para cada fluxo, sendo que os fluxos com demanda reprimida recebem uma parcela justa dos recursos ociosos. Para esta política, denominada Compartilhamento Proporcional com Reserva de Carga, estabelecemos as condições de estabilidade da rede e apresentamos expressões limitantes para a justiça e para o atraso dos fluxos
Abstract: We propose new framework for traffic modelling, policing and scheduling in Ethernet Passive Optical Networks. This framework aims at providing performance guarantees to individual flows in access networks. We propose a new envelope process called Fractional Bounded Arrival Process for selfsimilar 'multimedia traffic representation. The policing of such a kind of traffic by using the leaky bucket algorithm is also proposed. We present a novel discipline for scheduling the upstream flows in EPON networks. In such a discipline, which is calle4 Proportional Sharing with Load Reservation, each flow is guaranteed a minimum share of bandwidth and the unused bandwidth is fairly distributed among them in proportion to their own demands and priorities. We analyze the performance of the proposed discipline and provide fairness and delay bounds on a per-flow basis

Abstract:

Since the emergence of the Asynchronous Transfer Mode ( A TM ) concept, various switching architectures have been proposed. The multistage interconnection networks have been proposed for the switching architecture under the A TM environment. In this thesis, we propose a new model for the performance analysis of an A TM switching fabric based on single-buffered Banyan network. In this model, we use a three-state, i.e., "empty", "new" and "blocked" Markov chain model to describe the behavior of the buffer within a switching element. In addition to traditional statistical analysis including throughput and delay, we also examine the delay variation. Performance results show that the proposed model is more accurate in describing the switch behavior under uniform traffic environment in comparison with the "two-state" Markov chain model developed by Jenq, et. al.[4] [6] . Based on the "three-state" model, we study a packet priority scheme which gives the blocked packet higher priority to be routed forward during contention. It is found that the standard deviation of the network delay is reduced by about 30%.

Abstract:

This work is motivated by the current trends in future broadband communication networks. On the one hand, the latest developments and experimentation with the Asynchronous Transfer mode (ATM) technology shows that that ATM is going to be the future transport mechanism in many private and public networks. This is driven by the need to efficiently support a large population of widebandlbroadband users with different data traffic characteristics and certain Quality of Service (QoS) guarantees. On the other hand, the interest in satellites and their role in the future broadband multimedia communications systems, has grown considerably since they can very quickly and economically extend the boundaries of the terrestrial mobile and fixed networks coverage. On-board satellite signal regeneration and' ATM-like' switching is part of the latest experimental developments by many payload manufacturers. In this thesis, the focus is on the Grade of Service (GoS) and QoS provisioning in future broadband satellite multimedia systems by introducing new means for their performance evaluation. The investigation includes modelling techniques for both Geostationary (GEO) and non-GEO systems. An extensive set of representative results derived analytically and by simulation are presented assuming different mixed traffic scenarios. A new methodology for the Available Bit Rate (ABR) service class capacity estimation and the CAC strategy that needs to be adopted in S-ATM systems is developed. Moreover, the performance evaluation of bandwidth reservation techniques for non-GEO satellite constellations is investigated and new rules for maintaining specified GoS performance are proposed. This work contributes towards the definition of a satellite network infrastructure that best satisfies the requirements of an integrated solution with Broadband-Integrated Services Digital Network (B-ISDN).

Abstract:

Os avanços tecnológicos ocorridos nos últimos anos provocaram um crescimento na base de usuários que utilizam as redes de comunicação, principalmente com serviços de multimídia, como IPTV, videoconferência e VoIP. Como estes serviços requerem mais recursos e geram uma grande demanda sobre a infraestrutura da rede, cada usuário deve ter as suas aplicações tratadas de acordo com determinadas prioridades, para oferecer um nível aceitável de serviço. Partindo deste pressuposto, as redes de comunicação para acesso sem fio em banda larga, baseadas no padrão IEEE 802.16, também conhecidas como WiMAX, conseguem atender as várias demandas dos usuários finais, como a necessidade de acesso aos dados em todos os momentos e em qualquer lugar e a conectividade de banda larga eficiente, oferecendo uma excelente relação custo-benefício para o utilizador final, pois possibilitam uma elevada capacidade de transmissão de dados a um custo relativamente baixo de implantação. A provisão de qualidade de serviços é um fator de grande importância para o desempenho das redes de comunicação, para isso, os mecanismos de escalonamento, de controle de admissão de conexões e de policiamento de tráfego, devem estar presentes. Porém, o padrão IEEE 802.16 apenas especifica as políticas de como estes mecanismos devem ser implementados, mas não define como implementá-los. Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo apresentar uma nova arquitetura para o tráfego uplink, nas estações bases das redes WiMAX, com provisão de qualidade de serviços, utilizando a metaheurística de otimização por enxame de partículas para o cálculo da duração do tempo do quadro, quando houver a necessidade, possibilitando encontrar o valor ideal para esta quantidade, proporcionando uma melhor alocação de usuários na rede.
Technological advances in recent years have led to a growth in the user base using communication networks, especially with multimedia services such as IPTV, video conferencing and VoIP. As these services require more resources and generate a great demand on the network infrastructure, each user must have their applications dealt with in accordance with certain priorities, to provide an acceptable level of service. Under this assumption, the communication networks for wireless broadband, based on the IEEE 802.16 standard, also known as WiMAX, can meet the various demands of end users, the need for access to data at all times and in any place and the connectivity efficient broadband, offering excellent tredeoff for the end user by enabling high data transmission capacity at a relatively low cost of deployment. The provision of quality services is a very important factor for the performance of communication networks for that, the scheduling mechanisms, admission control connections and traffic policing, must be present. However, the IEEE 802.16 standard specifies only policies of how these mechanisms should be implemented, but does not define how to implement them. This research aims to present a new architecture for uplink traffic, the WiMAX network base stations, with provision of quality services through the particle swarm optimization metaheuristic to calculate the frame duration, allowing to find an ideal value, providing a better allocation of network users.

Abstract:

A structured organisation of tasks, possibly hierarchical, is necessary in a BISDN network due to the complexity of the system, its large dimension and its physical distribution in space. Feedback (possibly supplemented by feedforward) control has an essential role in the effective and efficient control of BISDN. Additionally, due to the nonstationarity of the network and its complexity, a number of different (dynamic) modelling techniques are required at each level of the hierarchy. Also, to increase the efficiency of the network and allow flexibility in the control actions (by extending the control horizon) the (dynamic) tradeoff between service-rate, buffer-space, cell-delay and cell-loss must be exploited. In this thesis we take account of the above and solve three essential control problems, required for the effective control of BISDN. These solutions are suitable for both stationary and nonstationary conditions. Also, they are suitable for implementation in a decentralised coordinated form, that can form a part of a hierarchical organisation of control tasks. Thus, the control schemes aim for global solutions, yet they are not limited by the propagation delay, which can be high in comparison to the dynamics of the controlled events. Specifically, novel control approaches to the problems of Connection Admission Control (CAC), flow control and service-rate control are developed. We make use of adaptive feedback and adaptive feedforward control methodologies to solve the combined CAC and flow control problem. Using a novel control concept, based on only two groups of traffic (the controllable and uncontrollable group) we formulate a problem aimed at high (unity) utilisation of resources while maintaining quality of service at prescribed levels. Using certain assumptions we have proven that in the long term the regulator is stable and that it converges to zero regulation error. Bounds on operating conditions are also derived, and using simulation we show that high utilisation can be achieved as suggested by the theory, together with robustness for unforeseen traffic connections and disconnections. Even with such a high efficiency and strong properties on the quality of service provided, the only traffic descriptor required from the user is that of the peak rate of the uncontrollable traffic. A novel scheme for the dynamic control of service-rate is formulated, using feedback from the network queues. We use a unified dynamic fluid flow equation to describe the virtual path (VP) and hence formulate two illustrative examples for the control of service-rate (at the VP level). One is a nonlinear optimal multilevel implementation, that features a coordinated decentralised solution. The other is a single level implementation that turns out to be computationally complex. Therefore, for the single level implementation the costate equilibrium solution is also derived. For the optimal policies derived, we discuss their implementation complexity and provide implementable solutions. Their performance is evaluated using simulation. Additionally, using an ad hoc approach we have extended previous published works on the decentralised coordinated control of large scale nonlinear systems to also deal with time-delayed systems.

Abstract:

The Community Broadband Investment Act, introduced in the Georgia legislature in 2012 and 2013 is a reflection of a broader national debate over the role of government investment in broadband infrastructure. The bill would limit local governments' ability to invest in broadband infrastructure for their communities because of arguments that government entry into the telecommunications sector crowds-out private competition, does not serve the public adequately, and lacks a comprehensive business model or best practices. A closer look at the history of utility regulation and various economic perspectives on the proper government role in utility provision reveals that government has had an extensive historical role in utility infrastructure investment and regulation, and several economic doctrines support the conclusion that government can be helpful in facilitating effective broadband service to their communities. Case studies of different models of municipal broadband networks in Georgia reveal that government entry can facilitate private sector competition, often provides quality service, and has a set of best practices. The success of municipal broadband reveals an evolution in the approach to telecommunications regulation from a regulated monopoly approach to a public-private cooperation approach which considers public participation with private entities on a dynamic scale. Government-entry into the broadband market was a rational decision for several Georgia communities due to their unique set of circumstances, and while municipal broadband may not be the answer to many communities' problems with meeting public demand, communities should be allowed to maintain flexibility in their decision-making about how to best serve their residents, effectively allowing them to decide which combination of public and private advantages they can leverage to meet the demand of their communities in relation to their unique local characteristics.

Abstract:

The limited amount frequency spectrum available to wireless comnmnication systemsmakes it difficult to satisfy the rapidly growing demand for wireless service. Spectral efficiency can be increased by using higher order modulation schemes. However this come at the cost of increased probability of error. In this paper we investigate through MATLAB simulation, the implementation of orders of Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) more commonly used in wired networks. The BER performance of 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048, 4096, and 8192 QAM signals in the presence of Rayleigh and Rician multipath channels with additive white Gaussian noise are simulated.
