User Services Assistant (USA) is a novel reactive QoS agent that provides facilities for managing user to user QoS in Internet environments. By being reactive, it overcomes the problems associated with QoS management schemes that have been proposed to date, such as the mapping of the QoS parameters to end system parameters, and pre-determining the optimum way of degrading/upgrading the QoS. How...

In this paper we present a QoS routing protocol for IEEE-802.11 based mesh networks. The main challenge for providing QoS in terms of bandwidth and latency is that the medium is shared between all nodes in close range, which complicates reservation of medium time. Furthermore, the use of standard compliant hardware components requires an integration of the existing medium access mechanism, whic...

The goal of network design is to meet the needs of resi dent applications in an e cient manner Adding real time service and point to multipoint multicast routing to the In ternet s traditional point to point best e ort service model will greatly increase the Internet s e ciency in handling point to multipoint real time applications Recently the RSVP resource reservation protocol has introduced ...

The performance of the data structure has a significant impact on the overall performance of the advance resource reservation in the distributed computing. Because the query and update operations of the B+ tree are of high efficiency, so this paper proposes a B+ tree structure suitable for resource reservation the RRB+ tree. Also, we design and implement the corresponding algorithms of query, i...

With information access becoming more and more ubiquitous, there is a need for providing QoS support for communication that spans wired and wireless networks. For the wired side, RSVP/SBM has been widely accepted as a flow reservation scheme in IEEE 802 style LANs. In this paper, we investigate the integration of RSVP and a RSVP-like flow reservation scheme in wireless LANs, as an end-to-end so...

In this paper, NPS (Neural-network Prediction Scheme) is proposed to provide high accurate location prediction of a MH (Mobile Host) in wireless networks. Currently, multimedia communications is urgently expected in wireless networks, because more and more high-speed applications emerge for wireless networks. One of the most important and complicated issues is quality of service (QoS) in third-...

This is related to reserve the resource in advance in “Workflow scheduling” of cloud computing. The problem with the traditional allocation of resource is that the resource may be not available when needed and the requested application will be rejected. To overcome this problem, an advance reservation technique is used. Various techniques are used to reserve the resource in advance such as ECA ...
