Book Voice Communications Over Packet Radio Networks

Download or read book Voice Communications Over Packet Radio Networks written by M. M. Seah and published by . This book was released on 1985 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use of packet virtual circuit technique for voice communications in military radio networks was investigated. The work was concerned with various aspects of networking which include network modeling, communications techniques, traffic analysis and network control. An attempt has been made to develop a simple yet efficient time slot assignment algorithm was analyzed under a variety of slot depths and networks topologies using computer simulation. The Erlang' B results were used to provide more insight into the channel characteristics of the packet radio networks. The capabilities of implementing TDMA/CDMA hybrid schemes in the system were scrutinized. A method to estimate the transmission capacity of the inter-node links was found. We demonstrate its effectiveness in controlling local congestion by computer simulation. Graphical results were presented to highlight the behavior of the proposed packet radio networks. We concluded that an appropriate link weight function would provide efficient and reliable network services. Keywords include: Packet virtual circuit, Voice communications, Routing, Code division multiple access, Network modeling, and Link distance.

Book Modeling and Analysis of Voice and Data in Cognitive Radio Networks

Download or read book Modeling and Analysis of Voice and Data in Cognitive Radio Networks written by Subodha Gunawardena and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2014-03-14 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Springer Brief investigates the voice and elastic/interactive data service support over cognitive radio networks (CRNs), in terms of their delay requirements. The increased demand for wireless communication conflicts with the scarcity of the radio spectrum, but CRNS allow for more efficient use of the networks. The authors review packet level delay requirements of the voice service and session level delay requirements of the elastic/interactive data services, particularly constant-rate and on-off voice traffic capacities in CRNs with centralized and distributed network coordination. Some generic channel access schemes are considered as the coordination mechanism, and call admission control algorithms are developed for non-fully-connected CRNs. Other key topics include the advantages of supporting voice traffic flows with different delay requirements, the mean response time of the elastic data traffic over a centralized CRN, and effects of the traffic load at the base station and file length (service time requirement) distribution on the mean response time. The brief is designed for professionals and researchers working with wireless networks, cognitive radio, and communications. It is also a helpful reference for advanced-level students interested in efficient wireless communications.

Book QoS Support for Voice Packet Transmission Over Cognitive Radio Networks

Download or read book QoS Support for Voice Packet Transmission Over Cognitive Radio Networks written by Khaled Ali and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cognitive Radio Networks (CRNs) provide a solution for the spectrum scarcity problem facing the wireless communications community. However, due to the infancy of CRNs, further research is needed before we can truly benefit from CRNs. The basic concept of CRNs relies on utilizing the unused spectrum of a primary network, without interfering with the activity of primary users (PUs). In order to successfully achieve that, users in a CRN has to perform spectrum sensing, spectrum management, spectrum mobility, and spectrum sharing. The latter, which is the focus of our research, deals with how secondary users (SUs) share the unused spectrum. Furthermore, to be able to utilize CRNs in practical applications, a certain level of quality-of-service (QoS) should be guaranteed to SUs in such networks. QoS requirements vary according to the application. Interested in voice communications, we propose a packet scheduling scheme that orders the SUs' transmissions according to the packet dropping rate and the number of packets queued waiting for transmission. Two medium access control (MAC) layer protocols, based on the mentioned scheduling scheme, are proposed for a centralized CRN. In addition, the scheduling scheme is adapted for a distributed CRN, by introducing a feature that allows SUs to organize access to the available spectrum without the need for a central unit. Finally, extensive simulation based experiments are carried out to evaluate the proposed protocols and compare their performance with that of other MAC protocols designed for CRNs. These results reflect the effectiveness of our proposed protocols to guarantee the required QoS for voice packet transmission, while maintaining fairness among SUs in a CRN.

Book Communication Protocols for Heterogeneous  Spread Spectrum Packet Radio Networks

Download or read book Communication Protocols for Heterogeneous Spread Spectrum Packet Radio Networks written by and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research project has focused on the development of protocols and reception techniques for distributed packet radio networks that exploit directional antennas to provide high-throughput, reliable data and voice communications, and that conserve sensor battery energy when relaying sensor data through the network. The research focused on the development of channel-access protocols, adaptive link protocols, and adaptive routing protocols for packet radio networks that employ spread-spectrum modulation. One goal of the research has been to ensure that critical data is forwarded from microsensors to data-fusion centers or mobile-radio end systems while efficiently utilizing the limited energy in the sensors' nonrechargeable batteries. A primary research emphasis has been the design of protocols that minimize the total energy consumption for store-and-forward routing through the sub-network of microsensors, and that account for energy depletion in individual sensors. An important component of this emphasis is the design of protocols that utilize more capable radio systems in the tactical network whenever possible to minimize the amount of data relaying required of the sensors. A second, related emphasis has been efficient exploitation of the presence within the tactical network of mobile radio systems that utilize directional antennas. Primary topics of the research include the design of the packet-acquisition techniques, channel-access protocols, and resource-management techniques that allow a node with multiple fixed-beam directional antennas to exploit their capabilities without introducing a significant increase in the complexity of the network's protocols. A list of related publications is included.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Just a decade ago, many industry luminaries predicted the collapse of the centralized data center and IT structure. In its place would be a more decentralized client/server model built upon the Open Systems Interconnect (OSI) networking architecture. However, client/server never fully realized all of its promises, and OSI floundered. Now, instead of client/server and OSI, we have the Web-based model and TCP/IP. Together, Web-oriented technologies (i.e., browsers, web servers, HTML, Java) and TCP/IP are completely changing how the enterprise views its network. Instead of serving as primarily an internal utility, the enterprise network is now a vital means of delivering products and services and of tying an enterprise more closely to its customers, partners and suppliers. The impact to the very structure of the enterprise network could not be more profound.

Book Simulating Conversations for the Prediction of Speech Quality

Download or read book Simulating Conversations for the Prediction of Speech Quality written by Thilo Michael and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-06-30 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses the simulation of conversations through a novel approach of predicting speech quality based on the interactions of two simulated interlocutors. The author describes the setup of a simulation environment that is capable of simulating human dialogue on the speech level. The impact of delay and bursty packet loss on VoIP conversations is investigated and modeled for the use in the simulation. Based on parameters extracted from simulated conversations, the author proposes extensions to the E-model, a parametric model standardized by the International Telecommunications Union, in order to predict the quality of the simulated conversations. The author shows that predictions based on the simulated conversations outperform models that rely on the transmission parameters alone.
