When traac of connectionless best eeort protocols such as IP is carried over connection oriented protocols with guaranteed bandwidth, such as CBR connection in ATM, the interface layer between the protocols (i.e., AAL-the ATM Adaption Layer) need to specify the bandwidth requirement and the duration of the bandwidth reservation. The purpose of this paper is to develop policies for deciding and ...

Allocating bandwidth for a certain period of time is an often encountered problem in networks offering some kind of quality of service (QoS) support. In particular, for aggregate demand the required bandwidth at each point in time may exhibit considerable fluctuations, random fluctuations as well as systematic fluctuations due to different activity at different times of day. In any case, there ...

This paper proposes a new method of bandwidth allocation during congestion, called the proportional allocation of bandwidth. Traditionally, max-min fairness has been proposed to allocate bandwidth under congestion. Our allocation scheme considers the situation where flows might have different subscribed information rates, based on their origin. In proportional allocation of bandwidth, during co...

The allocation of bandwidth for multimedia traffic poses a technical challenge due to bursty and isochronous nature of applications. In this paper, we propose a mobile agent based approach for bandwidth allocation in multimedia communication. It is based on the the network congestion monitored by the agents at the clients. The mobile agent hosted by the server will allocate bandwidth online to ...

Wireless communication networks have recently attracted significant research attention. As a critical issue for improving network performance, efficient and intelligent resource allocation strategies have been intensively studied. This thesis consists of two studies on resource allocation strategy, specifically, joint bandwidth and power allocation strategy, for wireless communication networks ...
