Properties of the Estimators for the Effective Bandwidth in a Generalized Markov Fluid Model

The Generalized Markov Fluid Model (GMFM), introduced in [1], is assumed for modeling sources in the network because it is versatile to describe the traffic fluctuations. In order to estimate resources allocations or in other words the channel occupation of each source, the concept of effective bandwidth proposed by Kelly [2] is used. In this paper, we present a formula for calculating the effective bandwidth, developed for the Generalized Markovian Flow model, which is of particular interest because it allows expressing said magnitude depending on the parameters of the model. We present unbiased estimators for these parameters that can be obtained from real data. The convergence and the consistency of the estimation are studied, and confidence bands are found. Illustrative calculation and performance of the proposed estimators were tested with simulated data and ideal results were obtained.

New bandwidth algorithmand its performance analysis in integrated service network

Because of no strict expression of calculating call blocking probability （CBP） in the solution procedure of virtual-path bandwidth allocation problem, the process of calculating bandwidth through CBP and traffic load adopts the iteration algorithm in common, which is an inverse process of calculating CBP through traffic load and bandwidth. It limits computing speed by a long way because of including recursion. An approximate algorithm of bandwidth is presented. We compare the performance of this algorithm with that of another classical algorithm and conclude that the former makes a great increase in speed with little error about 2 %.

Service-aware proactive vertical handoff algorithm based on bandwidth requirement prediction

Due to the heterogeneity and versatility of emerging services and applications in wireless networks,it has been a great challenge to improve the system performance with both the awareness of service characteristics and the balance of the traffic between adjacent networks.This paper is committed to solve this problem by introducing a Service-aware Proactive Vertical Handoff(SPVH) algorithm in Heterogeneous Wireless Networks(HWN).A Bandwidth Requirement Prediction Model(BRPM) is illustrated at first,which is adaptive to the system condition variants to forecast traffic requests.Moreover,by adopting a service-aware objective utility function,each user can optimize the vertical handover decisions with awareness of the related supporting networks and service characteristics.Since the decision process is executed with consideration of BRPM predictions,the SPVH algorithm can avoid congestion in HWN through a proactive method.The experiment results show that the proposed SPVH can solidly enhance the system performance in terms of service access ratio,average access delay,system throughput,usage ratio of spectrum resource,and eventually achieve higher network utility.

Effective Bandwidth Estimation in Data Networks: An Analysis for Two Traffic Characterizations

The Generalized Markov Fluid Model(GMFM)is assumed for modeling sources in the network because it is versatile to describe the traffic fluctuations.In order to estimate resources allocations or in other words the channel occupation of each source,the concept of effective bandwidth(EB)proposed by Kelly is used.In this paper we use an expression to determine the EB for this model which is of particular interest because it allows expressing said magnitude depending on the parameters of the model.This paper provides EB estimates for this model applying Kernel Estimation techniques in data networking.In particular we will study two differentiated cases:dispatches following a Gaussian and Exponential distribution.The performance of the proposed method is analyzed using simulated traffic traces generated by Monte Carlo Markov Chain algorithms.The estimation process worked much better in the Gaussian distribution case than in the Exponential one.

Compensation of Finite Bandwidth Effect by Using an Optimal Filter in Photoacoustic Imaging

Most existing reconstruction algorithms for photoacoustic imaging (PAI) assume that transducers used to receive ultrasound signals have infinite bandwidth. When transducers with finite bandwidth are used, this assumption may result in reduction of the imaging contrast and distortions of reconstructed images. In this paper, we propose a novel method to compensate the finite bandwidth effect in PAI by using an optimal filter in the Fourier domain. Simulation results demonstrate that the use of this method can improve the contrast of the reconstructed images with finite-bandwidth ultrasound transducers.

Initiating Binary Metal Oxides Microcubes Electromagnetic Wave Absorber Toward Ultrabroad Absorption Bandwidth Through Interfacial and Defects Modulation

Cobalt nickel bimetallic oxides(NiCo_(2)O_(4))have received numerous attentions in terms of their controllable morphology,high temperature,corrosion resistance and strong electromagnetic wave(EMW)absorption capability.However,broadening the absorption bandwidth is still a huge challenge for NiCo_(2)O_(4)-based absorbers.Herein,the unique NiCo_(2)O_(4)@C core-shell microcubes with hollow structures were fabricated via a facile sacrificial template strategy.The concentration of oxygen vacancies and morphologies of the three-dimensional(3D)cubic hollow core-shell NiCo_(2)O_(4)@C framework were effectively optimized by adjusting the calcination temperature.The specially designed 3D framework structure facilitated the multiple reflections of incident electromagnetic waves and provided rich interfaces between multiple components,generating significant interfacial polarization losses.Dipole polarizations induced by oxygen vacancies could further enhance the attenuation ability for the incident EM waves.The optimized NiCo_(2)O_(4)@C hollow microcubes exhibit superior EMW absorption capability with minimum RL(RLmin)of-84.45 dB at 8.4 GHz for the thickness of 3.0 mm.Moreover,ultrabroad effective absorption bandwidth(EAB)as large as 12.48 GHz(5.52-18 GHz)is obtained.This work is believed to illuminate the path to synthesis of high-performance cobalt nickel bimetallic oxides for EMW absorbers with excellent EMW absorption capability,especially in broadening effective absorption bandwidth.

Dynamic resource management using bandwidth brokers

The admission control issue in the design of a centralized bandwidth broker model for dynamic control and management of QoS provisioning is studied. A two-phase differentiated flow treatment based dynamic admission control scheme under the centralized bandwidth broker model is proposed. In the proposed scheme, the flow requests are classified into two classes and get differentiated treatment according to their QoS demands. We demonstrate that this admission control scheme can not only improve the resource utilization but also guarantee the flows＇ QoS. Furthermore, the admission control is divided into two phases： edge admission control and interior admission control. During the interior phase, the PoQ scheme is adopted, which enhances the call processing capability of the bandwidth broker. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme can result in lower flow blocking probability and higher resource utilization. And it also reduces the number of QoS state accesses/updates, thereby increasing the overall call processing capability of the bandwidth broker.

QoS Guaranteed and Adaptive Downstream Bandwidth Utilization Scheme for Ethernet Passive Optical Networks

Dynamic bandwidth allocation（DBA） is an open and hot topic in the Ethernet passive optical network（EPON） ,which is regarded as one of the best choices for next-generation access networks. However,most proposed DBA schemes ignore the quality of service（QoS） guarantee on maximum delay and delay jitter for the real-time traffic and the downstream bandwidth utilization under light upstream load in EPON. In this paper,a new DBA scheme,QoS guaranteed adaptive downstream bandwidth utilization（QoS-ADBU）,is proposed. This scheme can provide better QoS assurance by determining the maximum transmission cycle time according to the maximum acceptable packet delay and delay jitter for real-time traffic. Besides,the downstream utilization can also be improved by adapting the polling frequency to downstream traffic load.

Microwave absorption and bandwidth study of Y_(2)Co_(17)rare earth soft magnetic alloy with easy-plane anisotropy

The easy-plane anisotropy of the Y_(2)Co_(17)rare earth soft magnetic alloy has high saturation magnetization and operating frequency,and good impedance matching.Therefore,it is expected to become a kind of high-performance microwave absorbing material.In this paper,Y_(2)Co_(17)alloy was prepared by a reduction-diffusion method,and its micropowder was prepared as polyurethane(PU)based composite absorbing materials(Y_(2)Co_(17)/PU composites).The microwave properties of composites with different volume fractions were calculated.The composites showed outstanding absorption characteristics in the range of 20-30 vol%,and the minimum reflection loss(RL)was less than-50 d B.When the volume fraction was25%,the effective absorption bandwidth could cover the X-band at a thickness of 1.5 mm,and the Ku-band at a thickness of1.08 mm.The absorption mechanism was analyzed by the interface reflection model.The RL absorption peak bandwidth mechanism was discussed by using the amplitude relation and calculating the effective absorption bandwidth at different thicknesses.The effective absorption bandwidth values were in good agreement with the theoretical expectation.

Quality of service estimation based on maximum bottleneck algorithm for domain aggregation in backbone networks

This paper investigates the routing among autonomous systems (ASs) with quality of service (QoS) requirements. To avoid the intractability of the problem, abstract QoS capability must be informed among ASs, because the routhing which constrained QoS has been proved to be nondeterministic polynomial-time (NP) hard even inside an AS. This paper employs the modified Dijkstra algorithm to compute the maximum bottleneck bandwidth inside an AS. This approach lays a basis for the AS-level switching capability on which interdomain advertisement can be performed. Furthermore, the paper models the aggregated traffic in backbone network with fractional Brownian motion (FBM), and by integrating along the time axis in short intervals, a good estimation of the distribution of queue length in the next short intervals can be obtained. The proposed advertisement mechanism can be easily implemented with the current interdomain routing protocols. Numerical study indicates that the presented scheme is effective and feasible.

A Very Compact Normal Mode Multiloop Helical Antenna with Enhanced Bandwidth

The physical size of an antenna becomes an important characteristic when receiving signals in bands with long wavelengths. Size determines two important aspects of antenna performance;impedance and efficiency. For example, the VHF antennas installed on radio sets that intended to receive FM or the latest technology Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) radio signals in Bands II, III respectively. Antennas that are installed on mobile platforms (i.e. portable receivers) require a receiver that utilizes a whip telescopic antenna with adjustable length which can operate as a λ/4 monopole antenna. Whereas, non-portable applications like a deck commercial receiver has no built in antenna due to the large size of the radiator needed and so must be connected with an external antenna. This paper presents a new design of a very small size Normal Mode Multiloop Helical Antenna (NMMHA) with superior performance developed for commercial receivers operate in band II, III. The major drawback which has been overcome with this design is the very narrow bandwidth of the Normal Mode Helical Antenna, which originally was optimized to provide the minimum Voltage Standing Wave Ratio VSWR response across Band II (87.5 - 108 MHz). The NMMHA’s size allows it to be a build in block of a deck commercial receiver.

Statistical Multiplexing of Homogeneous Streams results in Linear Bandwidth Gains

Statistical multiplexing of traffic streams results in reduced network bandwidth requirement. The resulting gain increases with the increase in the number of streams being multiplexed together. However, the exact shape of the gain curve, as more and more streams are multiplexed together, is not known. In this paper, we first present the generalized result that the statistical gain of combining homogeneous traffic streams, of any traffic type, is a linear function of the number of streams being multiplexed. That is, given a fixed Quality of Service (QoS) constraint, like percentile delay, D, the bandwidth requirement of n streams to satisfy the delay constraint D is n x R x c where R is the bandwidth requirement of a single stream that satisfies the constraint D and c e (0,1]. We present the linear bandwidth gain result, using an extensive simulation study for video traces, specifically, streaming video (IPTV traces) and interactive video (CISCO Telepresence traces). The linear bandwidth gain result is then verified using analytical tools from two different domains. First, we validate the linearity using Queueing Theory Analysis, specifically using Interrupted Poisson Process (IPP) and Markov Modulated Poisson Process (MMPP) modeling. Second, we formally prove the linear behavior using the Asymptotic Analysis of Algorithms, specifically, the Big-O analysis.

Proactive planning of bandwidth resource using simulation-based what-if predictions for Web services in the cloud

Resource planning is becoming an increasingly important and timely problem for cloud users.As more Web services are moved to the cloud,minimizing network usage is often a key driver of cost control.Most existing approaches focus on resources such as CPU,memory,and disk I/O.In particular,CPU receives the most attention from researchers,but the bandwidth is somehow neglected.It is challenging to predict the network throughput of modem Web services,due to the factors of diverse and complex response,evolving Web services,and complex network transportation.In this paper,we propose a methodology of what-if analysis,named Log2Sim,to plan the bandwidth resource of Web services.Log2Sim uses a lightweight workload model to describe user behavior,an automated mining approach to obtain characteristics of workloads and responses from massive Web logs,and traffic-aware simulations to predict the impact on the bandwidth consumption and the response time in changing contexts.We use a real-life Web system and a classic benchmark to evaluate Log2Sim in multiple scenarios.The evaluation result shows that Log2Sim has good performance in the prediction of bandwidth consumption.The average relative error is 2%for the benchmark and 8% for the real-life system.As for the response time,Log2Sim cannot produce accurate predictions for every single service request,but the simulation results always show similar trends on average response time with the increase of workloads in different changing contexts.It can provide sufficient information for the system administrator in proactive bandwidth planning.

Examining the Quality Metrics of a Communication Network with Distributed Software-Defined Networking Architecture

Software-Defined Networking(SDN),with segregated data and control planes,provides faster data routing,stability,and enhanced quality metrics,such as throughput(Th),maximum available bandwidth(Bd(max)),data transfer(DTransfer),and reduction in end-to-end delay(D(E-E)).This paper explores the critical work of deploying SDN in large-scale Data Center Networks(DCNs)to enhance its Quality of Service(QoS)parameters,using logically distributed control configurations.There is a noticeable increase in Delay(E-E)when adopting SDN with a unified(single)control structure in big DCNs to handle Hypertext Transfer Protocol(HTTP)requests causing a reduction in network quality parameters(Bd(max),Th,DTransfer,D(E-E),etc.).This article examines the network performance in terms of quality matrices(bandwidth,throughput,data transfer,etc.),by establishing a large-scale SDN-based virtual network in the Mininet environment.The SDN network is simulated in three stages:(1)An SDN network with unitary controller-POX to manage the data traffic flow of the network without the server load management algorithm.(2)An SDN network with only one controller to manage the data traffic flow of the network with a server load management algorithm.(3)Deployment of SDN in proposed control arrangement(logically distributed controlled framework)with multiple controllers managing data traffic flow under the proposed Intelligent Sensing Server Load Management(ISSLM)algorithm.As a result of this approach,the network quality parameters in large-scale networks are enhanced.
