In this paper, we present an analytical method for effectively evaluating the channel utilization of voice calls in voice over WLAN systems. The method is under realistic assumptions general enough to deal with various cases of mixed traffic sources and transmission conditions. The accuracy and effectiveness of our method are validated through experiments. The method provided a basis for a prototype call-admission-control system for VoWLAN, in an attempt to enable an operational VoWLAN system with quality-of-service support.
We present a producer-consumer model of multimediaon-demand servers, The producer retrieves media data from a disk and places it into a set of buffers while the consumer sends out the data in the buffers to the users. We develope for the producer a time-scale dependent buffer-inventory-hirsed dynamic scheduling scheme named o-BIDS which gunrunteesto meet the continuityrequiremcnt and no-lossof datn for each media stream. The scheme introduces a time-scale dependent peak consumption rate and a virtual cycle time to smooth out the impact of bursty data of variable-bit-raie streams, thus improving the maximum admissible load of requests. A straighlforward admission control mechanism with quality-of-service guarantees is then established based on two simple conditions respectively on loud and bufier size. Our scheduling scheme is very easy to implement, and experiments carried out with an actual disk system and rei11 video stream data verifr the effectiveness of the scheme.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
