Work on following projects is in progress under NGWN research group.
1) QoS Provisioning using IPv6
Introduction/Scope
Multimedia applications running on Internet require bandwidth, minimum delay, minimum
jitter and minimum packet loss, various models such as IntServ and DiffServ tries
to satisfy QoS needs of applications. One of the common problems with these models
is that they do not use any dynamic mechanism to find multiple paths to a destination
through the network and then route the QoS sensitive flows on a path that is most
appropriate for the QoS requirement of a particular flow. This can lead to a situation
when we may need to deny admission to further QoS flows till some resources are
made available. “QoS Provisioning using IPv6”, uses a QoS based Multipath Routing
Algorithm (QoS-MPR) which can work alongside the traditional routing algorithm and
it is able to construct multiple Label Switched Paths to a particular network hence;
we can inject more QoS sensitive flows in the network without deploying excess resources.
“QoS Provisioning using IPv6” will not only allow to inject more traffic into the
network but it will also provide efficient label switching mechanism using the “Flow
Label” field of the IPv6 header and it will also serves as a simple load balancing
mechanism.
2) Design and Development of GA based efficient mechanism for provisioning and maintaining
QoS in 4G networks
Introduction/Scope
The proposal envisions that next generation 4G devices will be based on SDR technology.
This technology will enable the device to switch from one physical interface to
other by loading an appropriate waveform from the storage. The component will be
compliance to Software Communication Architecture (SCA) to enable its wide acceptability
by next generation communication solution providers. The solution will be equally
valid for other QoS application meant for SDR devices. In 4G networks services will
be provided to user without any interruption .At lower layers list of available
networks will be maintained using SDR and whenever existing network is not available
or has fading, mobile device will be switched to other network selected from list
of available networks depending upon user QoS requirements. Maintaining promised
QoS in 4G networks is critical task since many parameters are involved and complexity
is increased due to heterogeneous wireless networks. In this proposal complexities
in 4G networks related to QoS is addressed and efficient mechanism is suggested
based on GA's. GA's are stochastic algorithms which ultimately present better solution
after some iteration. As user may move anywhere with his handheld device he may
move with the speed of multi hundreds km/s, but requiring guaranteed bandwidth every
time. E.g. a user having UMTS connection may pass through area where UMTS services
are not available but CDMA2000 is available and immediately he comes to area where
HSDPA services are available to providing and marinating promised QoS is really
big task which should be catered for. So we are developing efficient mechanism for
providing and maintaining QoS in 4G networks which will be mainly following intelligence
of GA's
