A simulation framework for service continuity over multi access wireless networks

Abuhaija, Belal Saleh January 2010 (has links)
Mobile communication systems have continued to evolve by the release of new standards for HSPA and the release of new standards for LTE in release 8 and release 9. The new releases aim at providing higher data rates to accommodate the envisioned services of 3GPP in voice, data, image transmission, video, multimedia service and broadband services. Catering for a wide variety of services to satisfy the demands imposed on mobile networks by the user diversity and demanding applications, the air interface has been identified as the major bottleneck in the mobile networks. Network planning engineers and operators are deploying the new air interfaces in the same cell sites, which gives rise to several internetworking issues among the different air interfaces from radio resources management to service call continuity issues due to user's mobility and changing point of attachment. Deployment of different air interfaces coupled with traffic diversity requests further complicates the managements of the mobile networks. One of The main objectives of this research is to propose and evaluate solutions that address the internetworking of the different radio air interfaces in proposing a call admission control algorithm that can utilize different air interfaces capabilities and to determine which traffic types are better suited to be serviced by an interface. The proposed algorithm will consider the availability of the interface, the load of the network and the user equipment capabilities. Another main objective of this research is to propose and evaluate solutions that address changing the point of attachment of the users due to mobility in the form of handover algorithm. The proposed algorithm will consider the coverage of the node, direction and speed of the user, the network load, the air interface availability and the user equipment capabilities. Another main objective of this research is to design and implement a simulation system which includes all 3GPP standardized technologies. The simulation tool was designed as a discrete event simulation (DBS) system which includes all the standardized air interface technologies and services. The simulation tool was designed using Visual C# to take advantage of the object oriented capabilities of the Windows environment and libraries. The simulation tool was essential in evaluating the proposed algorithms in the first two objectives.

Horizontal Handoffs within WLANs : A detailed analysis and measurement concerning voice like traffic

Nankani, Ajeet January 2005 (has links)
IEEE 802.11 based Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) in addition to being used as access networks for providing traditional data services, are now also being used as access networks for providing realtime services such as VoIP and multimedia streaming. These realtime services are sensitive to latency, hence requiring seamless or low delay service from the lower layers throughout an ongoing session. The IEEE 802.11 standard does not define any technique or algorithm to provide seamless connectivity during the process of handoff, hence it does not require 802.11 based WLANs to provide the same. Thus, it is typical that there is a latency of 500 milliseconds to 1000 milliseconds during the handoff, before the mobile station can connect and receive data from the new access point (AP). However, many realtime services can not tolerate this much latency. The problem of handoff latency is further aggravated when WLANs are secured using IEEE 802.11i standard and when Authentication, Authorization & Accounting (AAA) services are involved in controlling network access to 802.11 based WLANs. This thesis will address the entire handoff process and examine the latency -- especially regarding AAA services. Different techniques and suggestions will be presented and analyzed closely at different layers and based on the results, an appropriate/efficient algorithm is suggested which will reduce this handoff latency, such that that seamless handoff can be achieved and realtime services can be provided over 802.11i enabled IEEE 802.11 WLANs. / Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN), baserat på IEEE 802.11 har traditionellt nyttjats som som accessnät för vanliga datatjänster. Ett allt vanligare användningsområde har blivit att nyttja samma nät för realtidstjänster som Voice over IP (VoIP) och mutimedia. Realtidstjänster är känsliga för fördröjningar. Fördröjningar som bland annat kan erhållas från de lägre nivåerna i OSI-stacken. IEEE 802.11-standarden definierar ingen teknik eller algoritm för att säkerställa avbrottsfri/fördröjningsfri transmission av data vid handoff och följdaktligen så kan man idag inte luta sig mot denna standard för att erhålla denna funktionalitet. Med nyttjande av befintlig IEEE 802.11 standarder erhålls fördröjningar på mellan 0,5 till 1 sekunder. Detta är naturligtvis inte acceptablet för många realtid och realtidsliknande tjänster. Problemet vid handoff accentueras ytterliggare om kravs ställs på AAA-tjänster för att säkerställa säkerheten i ett IEEE 802.11-baserat WLAN. Denna uppsats adresserar hela handoffprocessen med tillhörande fördröjningar – speciellt med hänsyn till AAA-tjänsterna. Olika tekninker och förslag presenteras och analyseras på olika nivåer. Baserat på erhållna resultat föreslås en algoritm för att reducera tidsåtgång vid handoff, så att realtidsliknande tjänster erhålls, utan störande fördröjningar, vid nyttjande av 802.11i.

Internet sur rails

Maureira, Juan-Carlos 21 January 2011 (has links) (PDF)
Cette thèse propose une nouvelle méthode pour fournir une connexion réseau à des véhicules au cours de trajets prédéterminés (trains, métros, autobus urbains, etc.). La communication entre le véhicule et l'infrastructure réseau est basée uniquement sur la technologie WiFi. Les contributions de ce travail sont d'une part la conception d'une méthode pour réaliser le handover horizontal (entre bornes WiFi), et d'autre part la modélisation et l'analyse de topologies pour le réseau d'infrastructure (réseau backbone plus réseau d'accès WiFi) déployé sur la trajectoire du véhicule. Dans une première partie, nous proposons une méthode, appelée Spiderman Handover, pour réaliser le handover horizontal d'un réseau en mouvement (embarqué dans le véhicule) et une procédure de mise à jour des informations de routage (couche 2 OSI) lors du handover. Nous évaluons notre proposition par simulation et validons nos résultats par des mesures expérimentales. Dans une deuxième partie, nous étudions théoriquement les paramètres de plusieurs familles de topologies du type Chordal pour le réseau backbone construit sur un réseau d'accès linéaire. A partir de la comparaison de ces paramètres, nous proposons une topologie backbone issue de la combinaison de deux topologies Chordal. Cette topologie fournit un bon compromis entre coût du déploiement, nombre de sauts nécessaires pour atteindre la passerelle du réseau et résilience raisonnable. Enfin, nous évaluons l'intégration de la topologie proposée pour le réseau d'infrastructure avec le système handover par des simulations. Les résultats présentés suggèrent que l'algorithme de handover proposé fonctionne correctement sur le réseau d'infrastructure proposé. Cela permet la garantie d'une connexion continue aux passagers à bord des trains, métros ou autobus urbains.
