End-to-End QoS Monitoring Tool Development and Performance Analysis for NGN
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper intends to introduce the development of a terminal agent for QoS measurement that is suitable for an NGN environment, and to summarize the results of its performance test. Using the terminal agent for service quality measurement, it is possible to measure the QoE-based end-toend service quality of voice phone, video phone, and VoD services. In addition, the terminal agent, installed in the user terminal (IP-based audio and video phones), as a software or hardware chip, measures the quality index for voice and video related multimedia services, such as R-value, MOS value, call success rate, one-way delay, jitter, packet loss, resolution. The terminal agent also applies the packet capturing method when using the actual service, and analyzes SIP, RTP, and RTCP protocol headers of the received packet. When the terminal agent was implemented in the IP video phone and compared with the performance of a general QoS measurement tool, there were barely any errors in the measurement value. It has also been identified that end-to-end service quality management, which is close to QoE, was possible.

A Framework for Improved QoS Evaluation and Control in SIP-Based NGN
Today’s standardised approaches for the control of QoS (Quality of Service) in NGN (Next Generation Networks) come along with a high volume of additional, unscalable traffic for the allocation and reservation of network resources within the IP transport network. This paper describes a new framework for comprehensive QoS control in SIP-based (Session Initiation Protocol) NGN, addressing the shor...
متن کاملNext Generation Networks Architecture and Layered End-to-End QoS Control
Next-generation network (NGN) is a new concept and becoming more and more important for future telecommunication networks. This paper illustrates five function layers of NGN architecture and discusses some end-toend QoS (quality of service) issues for NGN (called NGNQoS). The five function layers are: (1) Application Layer that supports SIP protocol; (2) Network Control Layer that aims at overc...

Third-generation (3G) systems have created the basis for multimedia services with Quality of Service (QoS) support on the move. It is expected that 3G architecture and related QoS provision approaches will evolve to face the challenges of future Next-Generation Networks (NGN). QoS assurance frameworks developed for fixed networks bring a huge experience to many areas. Often QoS in fixed network...
