- Middleware Support for Aperiodic Tasks in Distributed Real-Time Systems
- Many mission-critical distributed real-time applications must handle aperiodic tasks with end-to-end deadlines. However, existing middleware (e.g., RT-CORBA) lacks schedulability analysis and run-time enforcement mechanisms needed to give online real-time guarantees for aperiodic tasks. The primary contribution of this paper is the design, implementation, and performance evaluation of the first realization...

- A Dynamic TCP-Aware Call Admission Control Scheme for Generic Next Generation Packet-Switched Wireless Networks
- Traditional Call Admission Control CAC schemes only consider call-level performance and are mainly designed for circuit-switched wireless network. Since future wireless communications will become packet-switched systems, the packet-level features could be explored to improve the system performance. This is especially true when the TCP-type of elastic applications are running over...

- Scheduling and Call Admission Control (CAC) in IEEE 802.16 Mesh Networks
- The IEEE 802.16 -WiMax provides a mechanism for deploying broadband wireless networks in geographically large areas. It supports three modes: Point to Point (P2P), Point to Multi-Point PMP and Mesh. The MAC and physical layer of WiMax is carefully designed to support several real time applications with Quality of Service...

- A QoS Routing and Admission Control Scheme for 802.11 Ad Hoc Networks
- This paper presents an admission control mechanism for multi-rate wireless ad hoc networks. Admission control depends on precise estimates of bandwidth available in the network and the bandwidth required by a new flow. Estimating these parameters in wireless ad hoc networks is challenging due to the shared and open nature...

- Admission Control and Service Differentiation Based QoS Provisioning for Mobile Ad Hoc Network
- Service differentiation is the key to today's Internet QoS. However the assumption of static network topology and stability of links make the direct application of DiffServ in mobile ad hoc networks unfeasible. This paper presents admission control and service differentiation mechanism that works only in network layer and does not...
