Distributed Broker-Agent Architecture for Multimedia Communications Traversing NAT/Firewall in NGN

The forthcoming Next Generation Network (NGN) is an all IP network. Multimedia communications over IP networks are a type of bundled session communications, which cannot directly traverse Network Address Translations (NATs) and firewalls even in NGN. To solve the problem that the existing traversal methods are not suitable for service providers to set up a real system in NGN, a Distributed Broker-agent Architecture (DBA) is addressed. DBA is secure and realizable for service providers and enterprises because it is easy to set up and does not need to upgrade the existing devices like Firewalls, NATs or endpoint devices of subscribers. DBA is composed of two-layer distributed agents, the server proxies and the client agents, in which all multimedia communications use shared tunnels to carry signaling messages and media data between broker-agents, and the call signaling is encrypted over Security Socket Layer (SSL) to guarantee the security of calling. Moreover, the function model and multiplexed connection messages format of DBA are designed, which lays a basis for the protocol in the future NGN. In addition, a simple implementation based on H.323 verifyies the main function of traversing firewalls and NATs.

Performance Analysis for Multimedia Communication Systems with a Multilayer Queuing Network Model

Software performance evaluation in multimedia communication systems is typically formulated into a multi-layered client-server queuing network(MLCSQN) problem. However, the existing analytical methods to MLCSQN model cannot provide satisfactory solution in terms of accuracy, convergence and consideration of interlocking effects. To this end, this paper proposes a heuristic solving method for MLCSQN model to boost the performance prediction of distributed multimedia software systems. The core concept of this method is referred to as the basic model, which can be further decomposed into two sub-models: client sub-model and server sub-model. The client sub-model calculates think time for server sub-model, and the server sub-model calculates waiting time for client sub-model. Using a breadthfirst traversal from leaf nodes to the root node and vice versa, the basic model is then adapted to MLCSQN, with net sub-models iteratively resolved. Similarly, the interlocking problem is effectively addressed with the help of the basic model. This analytical solver enjoys advantages of fast convergence, independence on specific average value analysis(MVA) methods and eliminating interlocking effects.Numerical experimental results on accuracy and computation efficiency verify its superiority over anchors.

Performance of joint dual links dynamic power control and smart antenna for TDMA/TDD cellular mobile communications

Interference cancellation is made available by using smart antenna at cellular base stations. Well distributed cumulative probability of signal to interference plus noise power ratio appears to be vital for cellular mobile multimedia communications. A scenario of dual links dynamic power control combined to a solution of smart antenna is proposed to adjust the instant transmission power in terms of the disparity from the favorite range. Simulation results show that this method is quite effective to improve the cumulative distribution probability performance. Meanwhile, accompanying low power consumption is also obtained at both base stations and mobile stations.

Covert voice over internet protocol communications based on spatial model

This paper presents a new spatial steganography model for covert communications over voice over internet protocol(Vo IP), providing a solution to the issue of increasing the capacity of covert Vo IP channels without compromising the imperceptibility of the channels. Drawing from Orthogonal Modulation Theory in communications, the model introduced two concepts, orthogonal data hiding features and data hiding vectors, to covert Vo IP communications. By taking into account the variation characteristics of Vo IP audio streams in the time domain, a hiding vector negotiation mechanism was suggested to achieve dynamic self-adaptive steganography in media streams. Experimental results on Vo IP steganography show that the proposed steganographic method effectively depicted the spatial and temporal characteristics of Vo IP audio streams, and enhanced robustness against detection of steganalysis tools, thereby improving the security of covert Vo IP communications.

A Bandwidth Control Method Providing Entrance QoS for Multimedia Communication

With the development of wideband IP network, many new IP-Based multimedia applications appear ceaselessly. The real-time multimedia application requires that the IP network provides QoS. To the end-to-end real-time multimedia communication, the QoS service includes the trunk QoS and the entrance QoS. The trunk QoS has some feasible technologies, such as RSVP and DiffServ. But, the entrance QoS has few technologies at the moment. So, this paper introduces the entrance bandwidth control to get the end-to-end QoS. The design and scheme of bandwidth controller applying to the usual Internet application and real-time media communication is provided in this paper. It distinguishes between the usual 1nternet applications, such as HTTP and FTP, and the real-time multimedia applications, such as Internet telephony and videoconferencing. Then they will be dealt with in different ways in order to satisfy the QoS requirements of different types of services. In this paper, we propose a new bandwidth control method for real-time multimedia communication. The principle, the implementing flow, the control policy and the application scheme are discussed.

Self Fault-Tolerance of Protocols: A Case Study

The prerequisite for the existing protocols' correctness is that protocols can be normally operated under the normal conditions, rather than dealing with abnormal conditions. In other words, protocols with the fault-tolerance can not be provided when some fault occurs. This paper discusses the self fault-tolerance of protocols. It describes some concepts and methods for achieving self fault-tolerance of protocols. Meanwhile, it provides a case study, investigates a typical protocol that does not satisfy the self fault-tolerance, and gives a new redesign version of this existing protocol using the proposed approach.

Algorithm for Delay-Constrained Minimal Cost Group Multicasting

Group multicast routing algorithms satisfying quality of service requirements of real-time applications are essential for high-speed networks. A heuristic algorithm was presented for group multicast routing with bandwidth and delay constrained. A new metric was designed as a function of available bandwidth and delay of link. And source-specific routing trees for each member were generated in the algorithm by using the metric, which satisfy member′s bandwidth and end-to-end delay requirements. Simulations over random network were carried out to compare the performance of the proposed algorithm with that from literature.Experimental results show that the algorithm performs better in terms of network cost and ability in constructing feasible multicast trees for group members. Moreover,the algorithm can avoid link blocking and enhance the network behavior efficiently.
