Abstract/Description
In last few years there has been significant growth in the area of wireless communication. Quality of Service (QoS) has become an important consideration for supporting variety of applications that utilize the network resources. These applications include voice over IP, multimedia services, like, video streaming, video conferencing etc. IEEE 802.16/WiMAX is a new network which is designed with quality of service in mind. This thesis focuses on analysis of quality of service as implemented by...
Show moreIn last few years there has been significant growth in the area of wireless communication. Quality of Service (QoS) has become an important consideration for supporting variety of applications that utilize the network resources. These applications include voice over IP, multimedia services, like, video streaming, video conferencing etc. IEEE 802.16/WiMAX is a new network which is designed with quality of service in mind. This thesis focuses on analysis of quality of service as implemented by the WiMAX networks. First, it presents the details of the quality of service architecture in WiMAX network. In the analysis, a WiMAX module developed based on popular network simulator ns-2, is used. Various real life scenarios like voice call, video streaming are setup in the simulation environment. Parameters that indicate quality of service, such as, throughput, packet loss, average jitter and average delay, are analyzed for different types of service flows as defined in WiMAX. Results indicate that better quality of service is achieved by using service flows designed for specific applications.

Modeling Perceived Audio for Cellular Phones Based on Field Data
Title
Modeling Perceived Audio for Cellular Phones Based on Field Data.
Creator

Abstract/Description
Even though, the current cellular network provides the user with a wide array of services, for a typical user voice communication is still the primary usage. It has become increasingly important for a cellular network provider to provide the customers with the clearest possible end-to-end speech during a call. However, this perceptually motivated QoS is hard to measure. While the main goal of this research has been on the modeling of the perceptual audio quality, this thesis focuses on the...
Show moreEven though, the current cellular network provides the user with a wide array of services, for a typical user voice communication is still the primary usage. It has become increasingly important for a cellular network provider to provide the customers with the clearest possible end-to-end speech during a call. However, this perceptually motivated QoS is hard to measure. While the main goal of this research has been on the modeling of the perceptual audio quality, this thesis focuses on the discovery of procedures for collecting audio and diagnostic data, the evaluation of the captured audio, and the mapping and visualization of the diagnostic and audio related data. The correct application of these modified procedures should increase the productivity of the drive test team as well as provides a platform for the accurate assessment of the data collected.

Abstract/Description
With the increasing number of cellular phone service subscribers, the telecommunications service providers have placed immense emphasis on improving audio quality and ensure fewer dropped calls. Handoff behavior of all handsets is an important factor in quality of service of a mobile phone service.

Show moreWith the increasing number of cellular phone service subscribers, the telecommunications service providers have placed immense emphasis on improving audio quality and ensure fewer dropped calls. Handoff behavior of all handsets is an important factor in quality of service of a mobile phone service. This thesis focuses on the analysis of large volumes of diagnostic data collected from mobile phones in the real world and the identification of aberrant behavior of a mobile handset under test by means of drive test data visualization. Our target was to identify poor mobility decisions that are made by the handsets in calls. Premature, delayed or exceedingly sensitive decisions are considered poor mobility decisions. The goal was to compare a set of behaviors from a baseline unit (one accepted to generally operate well). We were able to identify a particular call that was exhibiting a different path (talking to a different cell than expected or taking longer to move to a new cell). We designed a chi-square statistical test to evaluate the performance of specific mobile handset models. We also developed a mobility tool that evaluated the handset's performance by means of mapping the handoffs on the Google Maps. The mapping of the handoffs by means of the Google Maps were very powerful in identifying the above mentioned mobility patterns.

Joint TCP congestion control and wireless-link scheduling for mobile Internet applications

Joint TCP congestion control and wireless-link scheduling for mobile Internet applications.
Creator

Abstract/Description
The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is one of the core protocols of the Internet protocol suite, which is used by major Internet applications such as World Wide Web, email, remote administration and file transfer. TCP implements scalable and distributed end-to-end congestion control algorithms to share network resources among competing users. TCP was originally designed primarily for wired networks, and it has performed remarkably well as the Internet scaled up by six orders of magnitude...
Show moreThe Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is one of the core protocols of the Internet protocol suite, which is used by major Internet applications such as World Wide Web, email, remote administration and file transfer. TCP implements scalable and distributed end-to-end congestion control algorithms to share network resources among competing users. TCP was originally designed primarily for wired networks, and it has performed remarkably well as the Internet scaled up by six orders of magnitude in the past decade. However, many studies have shown that the unmodified standard TCP performs poorly in networks with large bandwidth-delay products and/or lossy wireless links. In this thesis, we analyze the problems TCP exhibits in the wireless communication environment, and develop joint TCP congestion control and wireless-link scheduling schemes for mobile applications. ... Different from the existing solutions, the proposed schemes can be asynchronously implemented without message passing among network nodes; thus they are readily deployable with current infrastructure. Moreover, global convergence/stability of the proposed schemes to optimal equilibrium is established using the Lyapunov method in the network fluid model. Simulation results are provided to evaluate the proposed schemes in practical networks.
