Mapping of formal Network Quality-of-Service Requirements

چکیده
The provision of network Quality-of-Service (network QoS) in wireless (ad-hoc) networks is a major challenge in the development of future communication systems. Before designing and implementing these systems, the network QoS requirements are to be specified. Since QoS functionalities are integrated across layers and hence QoS specifications exist on different system layers, a QoS mapping technique is needed to translate the specifications into each other. In this paper, we formalize the relationship between layers. Based on a comprehensive and holistic formalization of network QoS requirements, we define two kinds of QoS mappings. QoS domain mappings associate QoS domains of two abstraction levels. QoS scalability mappings associate utility and cost functions of two abstraction levels. We illustrate our approach by examples from the case study Wireless Video Transmission.

متن کاملImproving Perceptual Multimedia Quality with an Adaptable Communication Protocol
Innovations and developments in networking technology have been driven by technical considerations with little analysis of the benefit to the user. In this paper we argue that network parameters that define the network Quality of Service QoS must be driven by user-centric parameters such as user expectations and requirements for multimedia transmitted over a network. To this end a mechanism for...
متن کاملMapping between QoS Parameters and Network Performance Metrics for SLA monitoring
Service Level Agreement (SLA) is a formal negotiated agreement between a service provider and a customer. The service level management (SLM) is the integrated management of all functionalities in the SLA life cycle. When a customer orders a service from a service provider, an SLA is negotiated and then a contract is made. In the SLA contract, QoS parameters that specify the quality level of ser...
