Virtual residential gateways: Architecture and performances

چکیده
With the increase of the transmission bit rate on optical fibers, it is now possible to transmit a base band signal over long distances. A very promising technology called Digital Radio Over Fiber (DRoF) uses this principle and allows centralization of resource management in the base stations architecture. This architecture is consist of three components: a Base Band Unit (BBU), a Remote Radio Head (RRH) and the interface between them such us CPRI (Common Public Radio Interface). In this paper, we propose to use the DRoF technology to virtualize current residential gateways making them less complex and allowing centralization of resources management. We show however that the propagation delay can be a serious problem for WiFi as we increase the distance between terminals and the access point. We use then an analytical tool called Bianchi Model to evaluate the performances.

The availability of end devices of peer-to-peer storage and backup systems has been shown to be critical for usability and for system reliability in practice. This has led to the adoption of hybrid architectures composed of both peers and servers. Such architectures mask the instability of peers thus approaching the performances of client-server systems while providing scalability at a low cost...

We have investigated and compared various aspects of the storage of multimedia content at residential gateways (RG) in the home or at caches in the public network. From qualitative analyses of Personal Video Recording and Content Delivery Networking techniques, we conclude that service architectures incorporating storage on the RG as well as in the public network are viable options for the near...

We propose an on-demand VPN service for home NGN users. This service enables users to connect home LANs without setting up complex network configurations. Users can specify a destination LAN by dialing a telephone number on an ordinary telephone terminal. We developed prototype residential gateways to provide the on-demand VPN service. The gateways find the IP addresses of peer gateways and sui...
متن کاملAssessing performance and security in virtualized home residential gateways
Over the past years the use of digital devices has increased heavily, and home networks continue to grow in size and complexity. By the use of virtualized residential gateways, advanced functionality can be moved away from the home and thereby decrease the administrative burden for the home user. Using virtualizing residential gateways instead of physical devices creates new challenges. This pr...
