Cooperative bit-loading and fairness bandwidth allocation in ADSL systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper examines the performance of bundled ADSL systems and proposes an extension to their bit-loading mechanism that results to fair allocation of the available bandwidth. The “ratemaximization” bit-loading method provides less average data rate compared to the optimum “target-rate” strategy, which depends on the number of active lines in the system and the length of the DSL loop. Under a non-cooperative bit-loading approach, the total data rate is not distributed uniformly among the different active lines. The individual data rate depends on the activation time of each modem relative to the total number of lines in the system. The proposed bit-loading mechanism is applied to the downstream ADSL traffic, is executed by a management unit of the central office, uses the results of the single-user bit-loading mechanism and leads to fair data rate distribution.

Cooperative Benefit and Cost Games under Fairness Concerns
Solution concepts in cooperative games are based on either cost games or benefit games. Although cost games and benefit games are strategically equivalent, that is not the case in general for solution concepts. Motivated by this important observation, a new property called invariance property with respect to benefit/cost allocation is introduced in this paper. Since such a property can be regar...
متن کاملA Heuristic Optimal Discrete Bit Allocation Algorithm for Margin Maximization in DMT Systems
A heuristic optimal discrete bit allocation algorithm is proposed for solving the margin maximization problem in discrete multitone (DMT) systems. Starting from an initial equal power assignment bit distribution, the proposed algorithm employs a multistaged bit rate allocation scheme to meet the target rate. If the total bit rate is far from the target rate, a multiple-bits loading procedure is...

متن کاملThe Deficit-based Distribution Algorithm in Bit Torrent Swarms for Peer-to-Peer File Sharing Allocation
Peer-to-peer file-sharing claims suffer from a fundamental problem of unfairness. Free-riders cause slower download times for others by contributing little or no upload bandwidth while consuming much download bandwidth. Previous attempts to address this fair bandwidth allocation problem suffer from slow peer discovery, inaccurate predictions of neighboring peers’ bandwidth allocations, underuti...
