Modeling and Analysis of Broadband Cellular Networks with Multimedia Connections

Traffic Analysis of Multimedia Services in Broadband Cellular Networks

The enormous development of wireless multimedia communication techniques requires new modeling methods. In this paper a novel analytical technique is presented, to examine wireless networks with multiple connection types that may change their generated traffic in time. By our method call-level system parameters can be calculated. We also propose two simple base station admission control policie...

Analysis of Broadband Cellular Networks with Variable Bit-rate Connections

As multimedia applications are becoming reality in wireless/mobile environments new analytical modelling techniques are required that can handle the variable bit-rate nature of such applications. This paper presents an analytical method to examine channel occupancy and blocking properties of radio base stations serving VBR connections. This method is based on an approximation that makes possibl...

Flexible Connection Control for Multimedia Broadband Networks

In order to offer multimedia services to the user, a powerful signaling system for broadband networks is required. Our work aims at an overall signaling architecture with totally independent call and connection control. This paper focusses on MCMP (multicast connection management protocol), a connection control solution that can be used in this context. MCMP offers a uniform interface to the te...

A Survey on Multicast Routing Approaches in Wireless Mesh Networks

Wireless mesh networks (WMNs) which mediates the broadband Internet access, have been recently received many attentions by the researchers. In order to increase capacity in these networks, nodes are equipped with multiple radios tuned on multiple channels emerging multi radio multi-channel WMNs (MRMC WMNs). Therefore, a vital challenge that poses in MRMC WMNs is how to properly assign channels ...
