    摘要: A system and method for improved vertical handoff between different types of wireless network. Network allocation vector occupation and packet collision probability are used as quality of service measures, enabling vertical handoffs to be delayed until actually beneficial to quality of service. Improved wireless network cell boundary detection in vertical handoff scenarios is achieved with a Fourier-based technique in conjunction with an adaptively determined minimum operating signal strength threshold. Improved wireless network cell boundary detection enables vertical handoffs from high quality of service networks to be delayed as long as possible. Together, practical wireless network quality of service measures and improved detection of wireless network cell boundaries in vertical handoff scenarios reduce the rate of unnecessary vertical handoff resulting in higher overall quality of service experienced by a mobile computing device roaming between wireless network types.

    摘要: Emulating a packet reorder condition in a network includes maintaining a counter variable to count packets sent out since the most recent reordered packet. When a new packet arrives, if the counter variable is less than or equal to zero, a current packet lag value is determined. If the current packet lag value is not equal to zero, the new packet is delayed before being sent out in accordance with the lag value, and the counter is updated with the lag value. Otherwise, the new packet is sent out without delay and the counter is decreased by one. The current packet lag value is computed based on supplied configuration parameters. Delaying the new packet includes applying a latency to the packet, the latency comprising a time cost to transmit the packet multiplied by the current packet lag value.

    摘要: A spurious timeout (STO) response allows a sending device to conservatively adjust congestion state parameters and maintain the packet flow, after detection of the STO. Since occurrence of an STO may be accompanied by data loss, the STO response couples the spurious timeout and the loss event by maintaining a value of previously available bandwidth and increasing a limit that a sending host can send based on a pattern of returned acknowledgements. In particular, the limit is increased by the maximum size of a data segment that the sending host can send each time an acknowledgement is received from the receiving host indicating a successful transmission of a data packet. Thus, a positive data flow may be maintained conservatively while avoiding further packet losses and an unnecessary re-transmission of data packets that may have been successfully received by the receiving host.

    摘要: A method provides differentiated quality of service (QoS) by providing adaptive updates to media access control (MAC) layer parameters on a distributed basis. The method includes calculating a failure probability for a transmission over the network, determining a target value for determining a contention window according to a mapped function of the failure probability, and altering the contention window according to a scaling function of the target value. The mapped function and the scaling can provide QoS differentiation. A wireless device ensures fairness in a wireless time slotted network and includes a network interface card (NIC), a network driver interface, a network monitor, a statistics engine, and an adaptive parameter engine for determining a target value for determining a contention window according to a mapped function of the one or more probabilities to enable an alteration of the contention window and provide new parameters for the MAC layer.

    摘要: Overlay network peers may be grouped so that each peer in a peer group has a similar transport network proximity measure with respect to the peers in other peer groups. A first set of transport network distances may include distances between a peer group and peer group neighbors of the peer group. A second set of distances may include distances between a peer and the peer group neighbors of the peer group. The peer may decide to join the peer group if the first set of distances is near to the second set. A first peer group may query a second peer group for the second peer group's neighboring peer groups. The distance between the first peer group and each of the second peer group's neighbors may be measured. Overlay network connections may be established between the first peer group and the closest of the second peer group's neighbors.

    摘要: A method and apparatus are disclosed for predicting subjective quality of a video contained in a bit stream on a packet layer. Header information of the bit-stream is parsed and frame layer information, such as frame type, is estimated. Visible artifact levels are then estimated based on frame layer information. An overall artifact level and quality metric are estimated based on artifact levels for individual frames with other parameters. Specifically, different weighting factors are used for different frame types when estimating the levels of initial visible artifacts and propagated visible artifacts. The number of slices per frame is used as a parameter when estimating the overall artifact level for the video. Moreover, the quality assessment model considers quality loss caused by both coding and channel artifacts.
