As applications like IPTV and VoD (Video on demand) are gaining popularity, it is becoming more important to study the behavior of video signals in the Internet access infrastructures such as ADSL and cable networks. Average delay, average jitter and packet loss in these networks affect the quality of service, hence transmission and access speeds need to be determined such that these parameters are minimized. In this study the behavior of the above mentioned IP networks under variable bit rate (VBR) video traffic is investigated. ns-2 simulator is used for this purpose and actual as well as artificially generated signals are applied to the networks under test. Variable bit rate (VBR) traffic is generated synthetically using ON/OFF sources with ON/OFF times taken from exponential or Pareto distributions. As VBR video shows long range dependence with a Hurst parameter between 0.5 and 1, this parameter was used as a metric to measure the accuracy of the synthetic sources. Two different topologies were simulated in this study: one similar to ADSL access networks and the other behaving like cable distribution network. The performance of the networks (delay, jitter and packet loss) under VBR video traffic and different access speeds were measured. According to the obtained results, minimum access speeds in order achieve acceptable quality video delivery to the customers were suggested.

Awlp: building a custom wireless access point using open source software Çakırcalı, Alptekin; Baykal, Nazife; Department of Information Systems (2005) Almost all commercially available wireless access devices are special embedded systems with proprietary software that do not allow any modifications. Modifications to these systems are only possible by firmware upgrades released by manufacturers. However, release times of these firmware upgrades are unpredictable, and they are usually for bug-fix purposes rather than being feature and capability improvements. Thus, these devices fail to provide the needed flexibility. Ability to provide timely custom soluti...
Analysis of electronic signature in Turkey from the legal and economic perspectives and the awareness level in the country İskender, Gökhan; Koçyiğit, Altan; Department of Information Systems (2006) As in the case of other information technologies, the best way of obtaining efficient results from electronic signature application is integrating it to the legal and economic systems and increasing the awareness level of technology in the society. This thesis performs the legal and economic analyses of electronic signature in Turkey and measures the awareness level in the society. The analyses performed in the thesis show that electronic signature is not legally established in Turkey even the legal base is...
Geo-spatial object detection using local descriptors Aytekin, Çağlar; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2011) There is an increasing trend towards object detection from aerial and satellite images. Most of the widely used object detection algorithms are based on local features. In such an approach, first, the local features are detected and described in an image, then a representation of the images are formed using these local features for supervised learning and these representations are used during classification . In this thesis, Harris and SIFT algorithms are used as local feature detector and SIFT approach is ...
Priority based multi-constrained quality of service routing in military applications Araz, Bora; Koçyiğit, Altan; Department of Information Systems (2005) This thesis proposes a new algorithm for multi-constrained Quality of Service Optimal Path Routing in the context of military applications. The objective of our routing algorithm is to manage network traffic according to quality of service requirements of connection requests using military metrics. The algorithm is mainly based on communication priority. The QoS metrics such as bandwidth, delay and packet loss ratio are considered as basic metrics on path finding. If there is no suitable path for the reques...
Content Placement Problem in a Hierarchical Collaborative Caching method for 5G networks (CPP-HCC) Hassanzadeh, Farnaz; Onur, Ertan (2020-01-01) The increasing demand for video streaming has imposed tremendous data rates and minimal end-to-end latency requirements on 5G mobile networks. Caching content close to the users is one of the conventional ways to meet these requirements. Subsequent requests for the same content can be supplied from the cache with minimal delay. In this paper, we present a content placement problem in a hierarchical collaborative caching (CPP-HCC) in 5G networks that can determine the location of the replica contents by solv...
