⎯This paper proposes a bandwidth allocation process for a single broadband network traffic source. In recent years, broadband traffic source has been proved that it has self-similarity and self-similar model that is well fit to the broadband network traffic sources. The bandwidth allocation problem is very important in network planning. The network planning problems such as call admission contr...

We consider two allocation problems in this paper, namely, allocation of bandwidth and storage. In these problems, we face a number of independent requests, respectively, for reservation of bandwidth of a communication channel of fixed capacity and for storage of items into a space of fixed size. In both problems, a request is characterized by: (i) its required period of allocation; (ii) its re...

Network multimedia applications require certain performance guarantees that can be provided through proper resource allocation. Allocation techniques are needed to provide these guarantees as efficiently as possible since resources are limited. This paper presents an allocation method called Dynamic Search Algorithm (DSA+). DSA+ is an on-line algorithm that dynamically adjusts the resource allo...

We show that the Bandwidth Allocation problem in the ATM network model is NP-Complete. Based on that inference we suggest using the Genetic Algorithm technique to select a subset of calls from the set of incoming call requests for transmission, so that the available network bandwidth is utilized eeectively, thus maximizing the revenue generated while preserving the promised QoS.

For over a decade, the Nash Bargaining Solution (NBS) concept from cooperative game theory has been used in networks as a concept that allows sharing resources fairly. Due to its many appealing properties, it has recently been used for assigning bandwidth in a general topology network between applications that have linear utilities. In this paper, we use this concept for the bandwidth allocatio...

The main contribution of this work is to propose a novel call admission and handoff management scheme for LEO satellite networks. A key ingredient in our scheme is a companion predictive bandwidth allocation strategy that exploits the topology of the network and contributes to maintaining high bandwidth utilization. Our bandwidth allocation scheme is specifically tailored to meet the QoS needs ...

Wimax is a standard based wireless technology that provides high throughput broadband connection over long distance. It can offer low cost high speed and long range communications for applications. In wimax relay networks the relay stations are used to improve the transmission quality. Bandwidth allocation is the process of assigning bandwidth to users and applications. The comparative analysis...

This document proposes a method to manage the dynamic bandwidth allocation of implementations supporting the PPP multilink protocol [2]. This is done by defining the Bandwidth Allocation Protocol (BAP), as well as its associated control protocol, the Bandwidth Allocation Control Protocol (BACP). BAP can be used to manage the number of links in a multilink bundle. BAP defines datagrams to coordi...

Compared to wired networks, the communication bandwidth in the wireless networks is limited. In trying to achieve QoS guaranteed wireless services, efficient utilisation of bandwidth resources becomes a fundamental issue. A number of channel allocation schemes have been proposed to fully utilise the wireless bandwidth, but many of them just proposed the channel allocation scheme without present...
