The user thereof uses the information as its sole risk and liability. project confidential Why Cross-layer - Quality of Service I  Trends in telecommunication networks –Provide end to end quality of service different traffic types get different levels of network service  Characteristics used for QoS –Bandwidth allocation ( bandwidth: misnomer for data rate ) –Delay bound –Jitter bound ( Jitter = variation in delay ) –Loss rate

The user thereof uses the information as its sole risk and liability. project confidential Why Cross-layer - Quality of service II  What are the issues associated with QoS provision? –Isolation / sharing Provision of individualized quality communication guarantees facilitated if different flows are isolated Isolation is inherent in circuit switched networks but in the current Internet (IP) all flows share all resources at the packet level. Ensuring QoS requires isolation However too much isolation lower the resource utilization  To support QoS in IP network, need to emulate the traffic isolation while sharing resources at the packet level –Delay bounds IntServ requires scheduling to support delay bounds. Delay bounds reflect the trade-off between isolation and sharing.

The user thereof uses the information as its sole risk and liability. project confidential Why cross-layer - Quality of Service V  To reach these goals in packet switched networks requires collaboration of many components –Admission Control –Scheduling Which packet gets transmitted first on the output link significantly impacts QoS guarantees for different flows. –Scheduling affects delay, jitter and loss rate. –Allows protection against misbehaving flows. –Buffer Management –Congestion Control

The user thereof uses the information as its sole risk and liability. project confidential Why Cross-Layer - QoS and Scheduling  Scheduling is a major component in the QoS scheme  There are conflicts in a packet switched network between –The goal of sharing resources –The need to provide some flow isolation and fairness to guarantee QoS  Scheduler designed to maximize throughput does not answer these objectives  But these goals and implementation problems are not specific of wireless networks –also exist in the wired world to fullfill the quest of QoS provision  Are there solutions that can be imported?

The user thereof uses the information as its sole risk and liability. project confidential QoS and scheduling – Wired vs Wireless I  There are some fundamental difference between wired and wireless networks –Wired networks: can assume time-invariant physical links in most cases Packet schedulers use information from the upper layers(QoS requirements, forwarding policies,…) to decide about which packets should be transmitted Scheduler PHY layer Upper layers Read QoS requirements / packet attributes, get forwarding policies

The user thereof uses the information as its sole risk and liability. project confidential QoS and Scheduling – Wired vs Wireless II  What happens with wireless networks? –Dynamic topology: user moves around, also enter and leave –Quality of the wireless channel is typically different for different users, and randomly changes with time (on both slow and fast time scales). –Wireless bandwidth is usually a scarce resource that needs to be used efficiently (can not overprovision the wireless link). –Excessive amount of interference and higher error rates are typical.  A scheduling algorithm that does not account for this variability of the channel will have low efficiency would be for most scenarios very poor  wireless networks require scheduling algorithms that use the PHY layer information
