This document describes the use of a single RSVP (Resource ReSerVation Protocol) reservation to aggregate other RSVP reservations across a transit routing region, in a manner conceptually similar to the use of Virtual Paths in an ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) network. It proposes a way to dynamically create the aggregate reservation, classify the traffic for which the aggregate reservation a...

The paper introduces a new protocol for wireless cellular networks by combining a time reservation scheme with a dynamic space reservation scheme. The proposed new protocol, known as the Space and Time Reservation Multiple Access (STRMA) protocol, does not use a fured reuse pattern but allows a dynamic reservation of bandwidth in both time and space. The performance of this protocol found by si...

A multichannel reservation-based channel-access protocol is investigated in this paper. Under this protocol, one channel is used to exchange reservation messages and the remaining channels are used for information-bearing trajjic. The performance of this scheme is compared to that of a singlechannel reservation-based protocol. A simple contentionbased slotted-Aloha protocol is also considered. ...

Soft handoff techniques in direct-sequence code-division multiple-access (DS-CDMA) systems provide mobile calls with seamless connections between adjacent cells. Channel reservation schemes are used to give high priority to more important soft handoff attempts over new call attempts. However, since the number of soft handoff attempts varies according to environmental conditions, fixed reservati...

In this paper, we propose an architecture for provisioning nondisrupted QoS guarantees in mobile ad hoc networks, and extend the scalable resource reservation protocol (SRRP) for signaling in ad hoc networks. In particular, we present a number of techniques that can enable QoS guarantees in ad hoc networks, including geographical reservation and clusterhead election (GRACE), the request-to-rese...

Resource management offers Quality-of-Service reliability for timecritical continuous-media applications. Currently existing resource management systems provide only means to reserve resources starting with the reservation attempt and lasting for an unspecified duration. However, for several applications such as video conferencing the ability to reserve the required resources in advance is need...

While widely accepted models of labor market search imply a constant reservation wage policy, the empirical evidence strongly suggests that reservation wages decline in search duration. This paper reports the results of the rst realtime-search laboratory experiment. The controlled environment subjects face is stationary, and the payoff-maximizing reservation wage is constant. Nevertheless, subj...

Survey measures of the reservation wage may reflect both consumption-leisure trade-off and job market prospects (the arrival rate offers distribution). We examine what a survey measure reveals about an individual’s willingness to trade leisure for consumption. To this end, we combine from large labor with one-hour that elicit in online experiment. The two show strong positive association. For u...

Multimedia and real-time applications require bandwidth guarantees, which may be achieved by resource reservation. Several researches were done to propose efficient reservation MAC protocols for ad-hoc networks. In these schemes, channel is segmented into super-frames composed of fixed number of slots. They allocate slots to each traffic source, and make sure that neighbor nodes record the rese...
