The services in the Next Generation Network (NGN) will be created on demand by the customers and will require end-to-end Quality of Service (QoS) for each flow. A very significant component for the end-to-end QoS support in the Internet is the packet schedulers in the routers. The complexity of the packet scheduling algorithms increases with the number of flows. As a solution, flow aggregation decreases the number of flows processed by the scheduler. The previous work in the literature proves that if the flow aggregator is fair, the end-to-end delay bounds of the aggregated flows are preserved and suggests limiting the service rate for the aggregate flow to achieve fairness in the expense of a lower utilization of the network resources. In this paper, we present a new method for flow aggregation, which relaxes this limit on the aggregate service rate, to increase the link utilization. We analytically show that our aggregation method is fair. Consequently, the end-to-end delay bounds in the network are preserved. In addition, we provide simulation results to demonstrate the decreased average delay of the aggregated flow.

A comparative study of evolutionary network design Kalkan, Sinan; Şehitoğlu, Onur Tolga; Üçoluk, Göktürk; Department of Computer Engineering (2003) In network design, a communication network is optimized for a given set of parameters like cost, reliability and delay. This study analyzes network design problem using Genetic Algorithms in detail and makes comparison of different approaches and representations. Encoding of a problem is one of the most crucial design choices in Genetic Algorithms. For network design problem, this study compares adjacency matrix representation with list of edges representation. Also, another problem is defining a fair fitne...
Hardware design and implementation of packet fair queuing algorithms for the quality of service support in the high-speed internet Sanli, Mustafa; Schmidt, Şenan Ece; Guran, Hasan Cengiz (2012-09-05) The increasing amount of real-time traffic carried over the Internet requires end-to-end quality of service (QoS) support. To this end, the QoS Schedulers, that are implemented in routers, assign the available bandwidth resources to packet flows according to their respective allocated rates. Packet Fair Queuing (PFQ) schedulers can provide fair service and low end-to-end delay bound to the traffic flows. However, they have higher implementation complexity compared to other algorithms, because of the require...
A new scalable service discipline for real-time traffic: The framed-deadline scheduler Schmidt, Şenan Ece (Elsevier BV, 2007-03-26) Qulaity of Service (Qos) support in a scalable and low-complexity fashion is important in high-speed networks carrying real-time traffic. There are service disciplines that can provide end-to-end bandwidth and delay guarantees. However, they are designed to operate with expensive output quenching switches or with combined input-output queuing (CIOQ) switches that require very complicated fabric work with a CIOQ packet switch to provide the same end-to-end QoS guarantees as service disciplines that only work...
An Analytical Model for Bounded WSNs with Unreliable Cluster Heads and Links Omondi, Fredrick A.; Shah, Purav; Gemikonakli, Orhan; Ever, Enver (2015-10-29) In Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), performance and availability are important in providing Quality of Service (QoS). WSNs are prone to failures that may result from software and hardware malfunctions, battery drain, tampering and link failures. In addition, sensors are resource constrained in terms of inadequate processing capacity, limited storage memory and restricted power supply. Alternating sensor operations between sleep and active modes whilst saving energy, has also introduced more challenges to th...
Design and implementation of scheduling and switching architectures for high speed networks Sanlı, Mustafa; Güran, Hasan Cengiz; Schmidt, Şenan Ece; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2011) Quality of Service (QoS) schedulers are one of the most important components for the end-to-end QoS support in the Internet. The focus of this thesis is the hardware design and implementation of the QoS schedulers, that is scalable for high line speeds and large number of traffic flows. FPGA is the selected hardware platform. Previous work on the hardware design and implementation of QoS schedulers are mostly algorithm specific. In this thesis, a general architecture for the design of the class of Packet Fa...
