Adaptive scheduling mechanism for IPTV over WiMAX IEEE 802.16j networks

چکیده
A WiMAX technology is a very promising Broadband Wireless Access technology that is able to transmit different service types. This latter can have different constraints such as traffic rate, maximum latency, and tolerated jitter. The IEEE 802.16 Medium Access Control specifies five types of QoS classes: UGS, rtPS, ertPS, nrtPS, and BE. However, the IEEE 802.16 standard does not specify the scheduling algorithm to be used. Operators have the choice among many existing scheduling techniques. Also, they can propose their own scheduling algorithms. In this paper, we propose a scheduling strategy (Adaptive Weighted Round Robin, AWRR) for various Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) services traffic over 802.16j networks. Our scheme adapts dynamically the scheduler operation to according queue load and quality of service constraints. In particular, the proposed mechanism gives more priority to high definition television and standard definition television traffic by using two schedulers. The proposed scheduling algorithm has been simulated using the QualNet network simulator. The experimental results show that our scheduler schemes AWRR have a better performance than the traditional scheduling techniques for rtPS traffic, which allows ensuring QoS requirements for IPTV application.

Simulation of Hard Hand over (HHO) Mechanism in IEEE 802.16j Transparent Mode networks
Two different relay modes are defined in IEEE 802.16j WIMAX standard: transparent mode and non-transparent mode. IEEE 802.16j standard supports mobile station mobility; it defines three kinds of hand over mechanism: hard handover, macro diversity handover (MDHO) and fast BS switching (FBSS) In this paper we have simulated the hard hand over mechanism of IEEE 802.16j transparent mode networks us...

Based on the IEEE 802.16e standard, WiMAX proposes a Mobile Multihop Relay (MMR) approach defined in the IEEE 802.16j standard to extend the service area of Base Stations (BSs), and then improves the quality of received signal strength. Clearly, WiMAX MMR achieves a low-cost coverage-extension solution for the existing WiMAX network. WiMAX MMR supports three types of Relay Stations (RS): Fixed ...
متن کاملAn efficient Bandwidth Demand Estimation for Delay Reduction in IEEE 802.16j MMR WiMAX Networks
IEEE 802.16j MMR WiMAX networks allow the number of hops between the user and the MMR-BS to be more than two hops. The standard bandwidth request procedure in WiMAX network introduces much delay to the user data and acknowledgement of the TCP packet that affects the performance and throughput of the network. In this paper, we propose a new scheduling scheme to reduce the bandwidth request delay...
