We review the development of the concept of effective bandwidth from its origin in the planning and management of ATM networks. We start with the extension...

In this paper, we propose a fast algorithm to compute a bound for the problem of optimizing the power of a number of users sharing a set of wireless chan...

We investigate the optimal power allocation in an OFDM-SDMA system when some users have minimum requirements for their downlink transmission rate. We first ...

The topic of this paper is the evaluation of QoS parameters in live Pre-Wimax environments. The main contribution is the validation of an analytical delay-ji...

The convergence of different classes of traffic with different priorities over the wire- less network has become a reality. To insure that the users of key ...

In this paper, we study the problem of determining the capacity requirements for applications that require QoS guarantees. We consider three kinds of source ...

In this article we extend previous work showing that DiffServ can provide some QoS guarantees to both real-time and non real-time traffic in the event of th...

As ISP’s and Telco’s converge towards all-IP network infrastructures, the problem of QoS becomes more acute. To address it, operators are deploying differen...

BibTeX reference

This paper presents a new heuristic to solve efficiently the problem of dimension- ing large-size hybrid optoelectronic networks with grooming. It is modele...

BibTeX reference
