Abstract:Carrier aggregation (CA) in long-term evolution advanced (LTE-A) networks is a promising tool for providing bandwidth extension for high data rate communication. In CA, the efficient scheduling of carriers has imposed a new challenge in the design of delay-sensitive carrier scheduling for mobile multimedia applications. In this paper, a new dynamic slot-based carrier scheduling scheme has been proposed for efficient resource allocation to support the quality of service (QoS) of mobile traffic over CA transmission. The key idea of this scheduling is the allocation of slots for each component carrier based on the queue state information, taking into consideration the priority based on the delay requirements of individual mobile multimedia traffic. Two different cases of the scheduler with and without priority are implemented to facilitate the performance comparison. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme provides better spectrum utilization, throughput, and delay performance than the existing scheduling scheme and improves delaysensitive mobile traffic QoS.
-Greedy Perimeter Stateless Routing (GPSR) is a proven efficient geographical routing protocol for wireless adhoc network which is symmetric in nature. It also offers routing support for Wireless Sensor Network (WSN). However, GPSR was designed for the symmetric links (bidirectional reachable), but sensor networks are often asymmetric in nature. Moreover in WSN the nodes are not designated through their IP addresses instead they are marked with their locations. So, when the destination is outside the boundary GPSR suffers by energy inefficiency as it has to trace through all the nodes in the boundary for reaching the destination. In addition to this, another key problem is data inconsistency which becomes a major challenge in deploying GPSR in WSN. In this paper a modified version of GPSR is proposed which identifies optimal route based on energy utilization and overcome problems in GPSR so that the feasibility of using GPSR in asymmetric WSN can be increased. The simulation results prove that the energy and delay is minimized and hence the proposed protocol outperforms the existing routing protocol for WSN.
