Quality of Service (QoS) provisioning has become significant with the widely growth of multimedia applications and high increase in the number of users in both wireless and wired networks. In this paper, we implemented a session-aware policy based mechanism for QoS provisioning and control in LTE (Long Term Evolution) networks. Policies are a set of rules identifying the QoS parameters for users. Implementation included DiffServ (Differentiated Services) configuration and setting policies inside the PCRF (Policy Charging Rules Function) which is the brain entity in LTE, then mapping from QCI (QoS Class ID) to DiffServ. Moreover, the dialogue between PCEF (Policy Charging Enforcement Function) and PCRF was implemented. Simulations on four different traffic application types: VoIP (voice over IP), video, web, and ftp (file transfer protocol) were performed under the network simulator (ns2). Results showed that applying PCEF over the different traffic applications has a great effect in controlling these applications and specifically UDP (User Datagram Protocol) based applications such as video.
PERFORMANCE COMPARISON OF PACKET SCHEDULING ALGORITHMS FOR VIDEO TRAFFIC IN L...ijmnct
In this paper we have studied downlink packet scheduling algorithms proposed for LTE cellular networks.
The study emphasize on three most promising scheduling algorithms such as: FLS, EXP rule and LOG rule.
The performance of these three algorithms is conducted over video traffic in a vehicular environment using
LTE-Sim simulator. The simulation was setup with varying number of users from 10 - 60 in fixed bounded
regions of 1 km radius. The main goal this study is to provide results that will help in the design process of
packet scheduler for LTE cellular networks, aiming to get better overall performance users. Simulation
results show that, the FLS scheme outperforms in terms of average system throughput, average packet
delay, PLR; and with a satisfactory level of fairness index.
NETWORK PERFORMANCE EVALUATION WITH REAL TIME APPLICATION ENSURING QUALITY OF...ijngnjournal
The quality of service is a need in recent computer network developments. The present paper evaluates some characteristics in a proposed network topology such as dropped packets and bandwidth use, using two traffic sources, firstly a VoIP source over an UDP agent, then a CBR traffic source over an UDP agent as well as the previous one. Two possible configurations are proposed, implementing both of them in the Network Simulator, and implementing in one of them differentiated services to compare the results. Statistics results are shown, in both cases showing the accumulative dropped packet number and the throughput in the link, obtaining a reducer number of dropped packets in the stage with differentiated services, and an improvement in the bandwidth use.
In this project, we proposed a framework to support heterogenous traffic with different QoS demand in
WiMAX. This framework dynamically changes the bandwidth allocation (BA) for ongoing and new arrival
connections based on network condition and service demand. The objective is to efficiently use the
available bandwidth and provide QoS support in a fair manner. Dynamic allocation of spectrum prior to
transmission can mitigate the starvation problem of Non Real time application. The WFQ based dynamic
bandwidth allocation framework uses architecture that has packet scheduler scheme (PS), call admission
policy and a dynamic bandwidth allocation mechanism. By the simulation result we have showed that this
architecture could provide QoS support by being fair to all classes of services.
Reducing handoff delay by adaptive thresholdijistjournal
In wireless networks data are sent and received with impressive speed and ease. Mobile WiMAX is a
broadband wireless solution that enables coverage of mobile and fixed broadband networks with flexible
network architecture. Devised as a truly broadband access solution, the WiMAX technology offers
promising features in terms of high bandwidth, extended coverage area and low cost. Despite having
many advantages, WiMAX faces major research issues like QoS based bandwidth allocation, Roaming,
Internetworking with other technologies, security and handoff. Handoff occurs when a mobile user goes
from one cell to another without interruption of ongoing session. Many approaches have been proposed
for reducing handoff delay. In this paper, we propose a new approach by which a critical area, an area
far away from serving base station but still inside the coverage of serving base station, is found. And then
overlapping area between serving base stations and neighboring base station are found and tabulated.
According to the size of overlapping area, different weights are assigned where handoff threshold is
changed adaptively to reduce handoff delay.
Call Admission Control Scheme With Multimedia Scheduling Service in WiMAX Net...Waqas Tariq
WiMAX network introduces a multimedia data scheduling service with different quality of service (QoS) requirements. Transmission opportunities are scheduled by the service according to the types of traffic data for the different connections or users. In the paper, we first propose a uniform definition of QoS level for the multimedia data types in the service. The QoS level of a connection are determined by the type of data of the connection and its allocated resources. Based on these QoS levels, we propose a call admission control (CAC) scheme for the entry admission of a new connection without degrading the network performance and the QoS of ongoing connections. The key idea of this scheme is to regulate the arriving traffic of the network such that the network can work at an optimal point, given under a heavy load traffic. Taking advantage of the simulation experiments, we confirm the fact that the proposed scheme can achieve better trade-off between the overall performance of network system and the QoS level of individual connection.
A Proposal for End-to-End QoS Provisioning in Software-Defined NetworksIJECEIAES
This paper describes a framework application for the control plane of a network infras- tructure; the objective is to feature end-user applications with the capability of requesting at any time a customised end-to-end Quality-of-Service profile in the context of dynamic Service-Level-Agreements. Our solution targets current and future real-time applications that require tight QoS parameters, such as a guaranteed end-to-end delay bound. These applications include, but are not limited to, health-care, mobility, education, manufacturing, smart grids, gaming and much more. We discuss the issues related to the previous Integrated Service and the reason why the RSVP protocol for guaranteed QoS did not take off. Then we present a new signaling and resource reservation framework based on the cutting-edge network controller ONOS. Moreover, the presented system foresees the need of considering the edges of the network, where terminal applications are connected to, to be piloted by distinct logically centralised controllers. We discuss a possible inter-domain communication mechanism to achieve the end-to-end QoS guarantee.

EFFICIENT PACKET DELIVERY APPROACH FOR ADHOC WIRELESS NETWORKS cscpconf
A wireless ad-hoc network is a collection of nodes which are selfconfiguring,
connected by wireless links. The nodes are free to move randomly and
organize themselves arbitrarily; thus, the network's topology may change rapidly and
unpredictably. These kinds of networks are very flexible and they do not require any
existing infrastructure. Therefore, ad-hoc wireless networks are suitable for temporary
communication links. The biggest challenge in these kinds of networks is to find a path
between the communication end points of nodes that are mobile. Due to the limited
transmission range of wireless interfaces, the communication traffic has to be relayed
over several intermediate nodes to enable the communication between two nodes.
Therefore, these kinds of networks are also called multi-hop ad-hoc networks. The
proposed model is designed to improve the problems of real-time event-based
communication. It improves the packet delivery ratio by prior prediction and reduces
end-to-end packet delay. This in turn improves performance of the routing process
significantly and increases the Quality of Service (QoS).
RESOURCE ALLOCATION ALGORITHMS FOR QOS OPTIMIZATION IN MOBILE WIMAX NETWORKSijwmn
WiMAX is based on the standard IEEE 802.16e-2009 for wireless access in Metropolitan Area Networks. It
is one of the solutions for 4G IP based wireless technology. WiMAX utilizes Orthogonal Frequency
Division Multiple Access which also supports Multicast and Broadcast Service with appropriate
Modulation and Coding Scheme. Presently, Scheduling and Resource allocation algorithm in Opportunistic
Layered Multicasting provides multicasting of layered video over mobile WiMAX to ensure better QoS.
Initially, the knowledge based allocation of subcarriers is used for scheduling. In addition, to reduce the
burst overhead, delay and jitter, SWIM (Swapping Min-Max) algorithm is utilized. Another promising
technology that can greatly improve the system performance by exploring the broadcasting nature of
wireless channels and the cooperation among multiple users is the Cooperative Multicast Scheduling
(CMS) technique. The simulation results show, Swapping Min-Max performs better with lesser number of
bursts, Zero jitter and with optimal throughput. The results with Cooperative Multicast Scheduling show
the enhanced throughput for each member in the Multicasting Scenario.

Comparative analysis of the performance of various active queue management te...IJECEIAES
This paper demonstrates the robustness of active queue management techniques to varying load, link capacity and propagation delay in a wireless environment. The performances of four standard controllers used in Transmission Control Protocol/Active Queue Management (TCP/AQM) systems were compared. The active queue management controllers were the Fixed-Parameter Proportional Integral (PI), Random Early Detection (RED), Self-Tuning Regulator (STR) and the Model Predictive Control (MPC). The robustness of the congestion control algorithm of each technique was documented by simulating the varying conditions using MATLAB® and Simulink® software. From the results obtained, the MPC controller gives the best result in terms of response time and controllability in a wireless network with varying link capacity and propagation delay. Thus, the MPC controller is the best bet when adaptive algorithms are to be employed in a wireless network environment. The MPC controller can also be recommended for heterogeneous networks where the network load cannot be estimated.
Enhancing qo s and qoe in ims enabled next generation networksgraphhoc
Managing network complexity, accommodating greater numbers of subscribers, improving coverage to support data services (e.g. email, video, and music downloads), keeping up to speed with fast-changing technology, and driving maximum value from existing networks – all while reducing CapEX and OpEX and ensuring Quality of Service (QoS) for the network and Quality of Experience (QoE) for the user. These are just some of the pressing business issues faced by mobileservice providers, summarized by the demand to “achieve more, for less.” The ultimate goal of optimization techniques at the network and application layer is to ensure End-user perceived QoS. The next generation networks (NGN), a composite environment of proven telecommunications and Internet-oriented mechanisms have become generally recognized as the telecommunications environment of the future. However, the nature of the NGN environment presents several complex issues regarding quality assurance that have not existed in the legacy environments (e.g., multi-network, multi-vendor, and multi-operator IP-based telecommunications environment, distributed intelligence, third-party provisioning, fixed-wireless and mobile access, etc.). In this Research Paper, a service aware policy-based approach to NGN quality assurance is presented, taking into account both perceptual quality of experience and technologydependant quality of service issues. The respective procedures, entities, mechanisms, and profiles are discussed. The purpose of the presented approach is in research, development, and discussion of pursuing the end-to-end controllability of the quality of the multimedia NGN-based communications in an environment that is best effort in its nature and promotes end user’s access agnosticism, service agility, and global mobility

The mobile network that supports network mobility
is an emerging technology. It is also referred as NEMO
(NEtwork MObility). It is more appropriate for mobile
platforms such as car, bus, train, air plane, etc. It is a great
challenge to provide Quality of Service (QoS) in NEMO. QoS
is a set of service requirements to be met by the network.
There are various parameters by which QoS is provided. This
paper concentrates on providing optimum bandwidth for data
traffic. The objective of this paper is to propose a strategy to
use Virtual Circuit (VC) approach in NEMO. It helps to
utilize the bandwidth effectively, to consume minimum time to
transfer the data and also to reduce overload of the mobile
router due to the minimum size of the header. Ultimately, it
gives better results to enhance the QoS in mobile networks.

ENERGY CONSUMPTION REDUCTION IN WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORK BASED ON CLUSTERINGIJCNCJournal
One of the important issues in the routing protocol design in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) is
minimizing energy consumption and maximizing network lift time. Nowadays networks and information
systems are one of the main parts of modern life that without them, people cannot live. On the hand, the
impairment of these networks leads to great and incalculable costs. In this paper, a new method based on
clustering has presented that problem of energy consumption is solved. The proposed algorithm is that
energy-based clustering can create clusters of the same energy level and distribute energy efficiency across
the WNS nodes. This proposed clustering protocol classify network nodes based on energy and
neighbourhood criteria and attempts to better balance energy in clusters and ultimately increase network
lifetime and maintain network coverage. Results are shown that the proposed algorithm is on average 40%
better than LEACH algorithm and 14% better than IBLEACH algorithm
Weighted Round Robin Load Balancer to Enhance Web Server Cluster in OpenFlow ...TELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
Web server clusters require a reliable network management for increasing the quality of service
(QoS). A load balancer system installed in a software-defined network (SDN) is one method that can
improve the performance and availability of web server services. SDN is a dynamic and a programmable
network management approach, and one protocol that supports it is OpenFlow. This research aims to
design and analyse a model of a load balancer on OpenFlow networks, implementing a Weighted Round
Robin (WRR) algorithm. The analysis process is conducted by measuring the value of a QoS web server
performance parameters, such as response time, throughput, HTTP success, and loss connection. The
results showed the WRR algorithm can be implemented for balancing a network system with dynamic
resource allocation. The weight workload of each service can be obtained from the needs and existing
network resources. The performance of a load balancer on an OpenFlow network is 57% better than in a
traditional one for testing of response time conducted in a high connection. However, the throughput and
HTTP success connection decreased by 2% and 10%, respectively, while HTTP loss connection increased
by 49%.

This work contains of design of experiments to optimize the various control factors of a cold storage evaporator space inside the cold room, in other words the heat absorption by evaporator will be maximize to minimize the use of electrical energy to run the system. Here we have use cylindrical pin fin to maximize the heat absorption by evaporator. Taguchi orthogonal array have been used as a design of experiments. Three control factors with three levels of each have been chosen for analysis. In the evaporator space the heat absorbs by the evaporator and fins totally a convective heat transfer process. The control factors are Area of the evaporator with cylindrical pin fin(A), temperature difference of the evaporator space (dT), and relative humidity inside the cold room(RH). Different amount of heat gains in the cold room for different set of test runs have been taken as the output parameter.

QOS-BASED PACKET SCHEDULING ALGORITHMS FOR HETEROGENEOUS LTEADVANCED NETWORKS...ijwmn
The number of LTE (Long-Term Evolution) users and their applications has increased significantly in the
last decade, which increased the demand on the mobile network. LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) comes with many
features that can support this increasing demand. LTE-A supports Heterogeneous Networks (HetNets)
deployment, in which it consists of a mix of macro-cells, remote radio heads, and low power nodes such as
Pico-cells, and Femto-cells. Embedding this mix of base-stations in a macro-cellular network allows for
achieving significant gains in coverage, throughput and system capacity compared to the use of macrocells only. These base-stations can operate on the same wireless channel as the macro-cellular network,
which will provide higher spatial reuse via cell splitting. Also, it allows network operators to support
higher data traffic by offloading it to smaller cells, such as Femto-cells. Hence, it enables network
operators to provide their growing number of users with the required Quality of Service (QoS) that meets
with their service demands. In-order for the network operators to make the best out of the heterogeneous
LTE-A network, they need to use QoS-based packet scheduling algorithms that can efficiently manage the
spectrum resources in the HetNets deployment. In this paper, we survey Quality of Service (QoS) based
packet scheduling algorithms that were proposed in the literature for the use of packet scheduling in
Heterogeneous LTE-A Networks. We start by explaining the concepts of QoS in LTE, heterogeneous LTE-A
networks, and how traffic is classified within a packet scheduling architecture for heterogeneous LTE-A
networks. Then, by summarising the proposed QoS-based packet scheduling algorithms in the literature for
Heterogeneous LTE-A Networks, and for Femtocells LTE-A Networks. And finally, we provide some
concluding remarks in the last section.

Long Term Evolution (LTE) is defined by the Third G

standards as Release 8/9. The LTE supports at max 2
0 MHz channel bandwidth for a carrier.
The number of LTE users and their applications are
increasing, which increases the demand on
the system BW. A new feature of the LTE-Advanced (L
TE-A) which is defined in the 3GPP

The main contribution of this paper was in implemen

A Fair and Efficient Packet Scheduling Scheme for IEEE 802.16 Broadband Wirel...ijasuc
This paper proposes a fair and efficient QoS scheduling scheme for IEEE 802.16 BWA systems that
satisfies both throughput and delay guarantee to various real and non-real time applications. The proposed
QoS scheduling scheme is compared with an existing QoS scheduling scheme proposed in literature in
recent past. Simulation results show that the proposed scheduling scheme can provide a tight QoS
guarantee in terms of delay, delay violation rate and throughput for all types of traffic as defined in the
WiMAX standard, thereby maintaining the fairness and helps to eliminate starvation of lower priority
class services. Bandwidth utilization of the system and fairness index of the resources are also
encountered to validate the QoS provided by our proposed scheduling scheme.
Traffic offloading impact on the performanceIJCNCJournal
Long Term Evolution (LTE) is defined by the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) standards as
Release 8/9. The LTE supports at max 20 MHz channel bandwidth for a carrier. The number of LTE users
and their applications are increasing, which increases the demand on the system BW. A new feature of the
LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) which is defined in the 3GPP standards as Release 10/11 is called Carrier Aggregation (CA), this feature allows the network to aggregate more carriers in-order to provide a higher bandwidth. Carrier Aggregation has three main cases: Intra-band contiguous, Intra-band non-contiguous, Inter-band contiguous. In addition to the Carrier Aggregation feature, LTE-A supports Heterogeneous Networks (HetNets). HetNets consists of a mix of macro-cells, remote radio heads, and low power nodes such as pico-cells, and femto-cells. HetNets allow cellular network operators to support higher data traffic
by offloading it to a smaller cells such as femto-cells. The aim of this paper is to evaluate the Quality of Service (QoS) performance of the Modified Largest Weighted Delay First (MLWDF), the Exponential Rule (Exp-Rule), and the Logarithmic Rule (Log-Rule) scheduling algorithms while offloading 50% of the macro-cell's traffic to five femto-cells, 100% of the macro-cell's traffic to five femto-cells, 100% of the macro-cell's traffic to ten femto-cells, and to compare it with the case in-which traffic offloading is not
applied. The QoS performance evaluation is based on the system's average throughput, Packet Loss Rate (PLR), average packet delay, and fairness among users. The LTE-Sim-5 with modifications is used in the simulation process. Simulation results show that offloading 100% of the Macro-cell's traffic to five femtocells had the highest maximum throughput, and the best PLR values especially when using the Log-Rule, in-which using it maintained the PLR values around 0.15 despite increasing the number of users. The least average packet delay was achieved when offloading 100% of the Macro-cell's traffic to ten femto-cells, the delay dropped to below 5 ms. The fairness indicators for the three scheduling algorithms while traffic
offloading was applied fluctuated in a linear way between a range of values of 0.7 and 0.9.
A Comparative Analysis of the Performance of VoIP Traffic with Different Type...ijcnac
The key QoS parameters for VoIP are delay, jitter and loss. In the Internet, VoIP requires
the underlying packet switched network to minimize the impact of these parameters. A
major contributing factor in this regard is traffic engineering carried out by scheduling
algorithms. This paper studies the behavior of different types of scheduling algorithms on
the delay, jitter and loss QoS parameters. The performance evaluation involves
identifying the scheduling algorithms which are most suitable for VoIP communications.
The result from the analysis also shows the impact of the QoS parameters on VoIP over
the Internet.

This paper demonstrates the concept of using Heterogeneous networks (HetNets) to improve Long Term Evolution (LTE) system by introducing the LTE Advance (LTE-A). The type of HetNets that has been chosen for this study is Macro with Pico cells. Comparing the system performance with and without Pico cells has clearly illustrated using three well-known scheduling algorithms (Proportional Fair PF, Maximum Largest Weighted Delay First MLWDF and Exponential/Proportional Fair EXP/PF). The system is judged based on throughput, Packet Loss Ratio PLR, delay and fairness.. A simulation platform called LTE-Sim has been used to collect the data and produce the paper’s outcomes and graphs. The results prove that adding Pico cells enhances the overall system performance. From the simulation outcomes, the overall system performance is as follows: throughput is duplicated or tripled based on the number of users, the PLR is almost quartered, the delay is nearly reduced ten times (PF case) and changed to be a half (MLWDF/EXP cases), and the fairness stays closer to value of 1. It is considered an efficient and cost effective way to increase the throughput, coverage and reduce the latency.

propose and implement the class-based adaptive QoS control scheme on SDN-enabled network for various
traffic classes, namely VoIP, Video Streaming and File Transfer. The effectiveness of our proposed scheme
is validated by simulation using Mininet and Ryu controller. The procedure to create the simulation
platform and all details relevant to all software used are described step-by-step in detail. The main

Average Throughput, Latency, Jitter, and Packet Loss Rate are maintained at the comparable level of the
existing work in the literature called JMABC [11]. Our simulation results are illustrated with 95%
confidence interval. According to the simulation results, it is obvious that our proposed class-based
adaptive QoS control scheme adopting the optimization technique significantly outperforms the existing
similar QoS provision scheme in terms of the maximum number of the high priority traffic flows (VoIP)
admittable with QoS while the other evaluation metrics are maintained at the same level.

AN ADAPTIVE DIFFSERV APPROACH TO SUPPORT QOS IN NETWORK MOBILITY NEMO ENVIRON...IJCNCJournal
Network Mobility Basic Support (NEMO BS) protocol (RFC 3963) is an extension of Mobile IPv6. The NEMO BS embraced by IETF working group to permit any node in the portable network to be accessible to the Internet despite the fact the network itself is roaming. This protocol likewise Mobile IPv6 doesn’t deliver any kind of Quality of Service (QoS) guarantees to its clients. It can barely offer the same level of services (i.e. Best-Effort) to all the users without obligation to the application’s needs. This propositions a challenge to real-time applications that demand a precise level of QoS pledge. The Differentiated Services has recently come to be the most widely used QoS support technology in IP networks due to its relative simplicity and scalability benefits. This paper proposes a new scheme to provide QoS to mobile network nodes within NEMO context. The proposed scheme intends to reduce handover latency for the users of MNN as well as alleviates packet losses. The feasibility of the proposed enhancement is assessed by measuring its performance against the native NEMO BS standard protocol using NS-2 simulator. The obtained results in the simulation study have demonstrated that the proposed scheme outperforms the standard NEMO BS protocol.
ENHANCING AND MEASURING THE PERFORMANCE IN SOFTWARE DEFINED NETWORKINGIJCNCJournal
Software Defined Networking (SDN) is a challenging chapter in today’s networking era. It is a network design approach that engages the framework to be controlled or 'altered' adroitly and halfway using programming applications. SDN is a serious advancement that assures to provide a better strategy than displaying the Quality of Service (QoS) approach in the present correspondence frameworks. SDN etymologically changes the lead and convenience of system instruments using the single high state program. It separates the system control and sending functions, empowering the network control to end up specifically. It provides more functionality and more flexibility than the traditional networks. A network administrator can easily shape the traffic without touching any individual switches and services which are needed in a network. The main technology for implementing SDN is a separation of data plane and control plane, network virtualization through programmability. The total amount of time in which user can respond is called response time. Throughput is known as how fast a network can send data. In this paper, we have design a network through which we have measured the Response Time and Throughput comparing with the Real-time Online Interactive Applications (ROIA), Multiple Packet Scheduler, and NOX.
QOS-APCVS: AN ENHANCED EPS-IMS PCC ARCHITECTURE PROPOSAL TO IMPROVE MOBILE SE...ecij
IP Multimedia Subsystem’s (IMS) presents the framework architecture which can provide multimedia services for Evolved Packet System (EPS). In busy network, the main failures are service blocking, handover outage and non satisfying QoS criteria. So we aim to improve dependability of dedicated bearer
establishment in EPS-IMS Network. In mobile access network, we consider service is available if it is admitted by base station and is reliable if it is still supported in handover position. In core network, we consider service as reliable if its QoS criteria are satisfied. So we propose a new Qos Provisioning solution. To provide new application or to support handover service in busy network, our approach preempts resources by utility factor instead of priority consideration in existing works. In addition to
bandwidth reservation our solution allows core network reservation to improve the delay of real time service and minimize the loss rate of non-real time services.
Choosing the best quality of service algorithm using OPNET simulationIJECEIAES
The concept of quality of service (QoS) is a new computer technology. Previously, there was a slow internet connection to access the sites and it was slow to send information. But now, it requires speeding up the traffic and increasing the efficiency for audio and video. In this study, we discuss the concepts of QoS provided over the network to achieve these goals. This study aims to compare six algorithms to control the QoS, then, the best algorithm will be selected to improve the traffic. These algorithms are named first in first out (FIFO), priority queuing (PQ), custom queuing (CQ), CQ with low latency queuing (LLQ), weighted fair queuing (WFQ), WFQ with low latency queuing (LLQ), so the behavior of these algorithms can be measured. The results obtained by comparing between them using OPNET simulation show that the best algorithm is the priority queuing algorithm, followed by CQ, then CQ with LLQ, then WFQ, then WFQ with LLQ and finally FIFO. All these results are plotted in the form of graphs to show the paths of these algorithms for the single state with an operation time of 5 minutes for each algorithm.
In my project the traditional mobile data offloading transfers cellular users to Wi-Fi networks to relieve the cellular system from the pressure of ever-increasing data traffic load. The spectrum utilization of the network is bound to suffer from potential packet collisions due to its congestion -based access protocol. Due to the number of competing Wi-Fi users grows large. To tackle numerous users problem transfer some users to be served by the LTE-U system. By using cognitive network, admission control algorithm is used for minimizing the traffic. Conventional portable information offloading exchanges cell clients to WiFi systems to alleviate the cell framework from the weight of the continually expanding information activity stack. Be that as it may, the range use of the WiFi system will undoubtedly endure from potential bundle crashes because of its dispute based get to convention, particularly when the quantity of contending WiFi clients develops substantial. To handle this issue, we propose to exchange a few WiFi clients to be served by the LTE framework, as opposed to the customary versatile information offloading which successfully offloads LTE movement to the WiFi arrange. In the interim, utilizing the rising LTE in unlicensed range (LTE-U) innovation, some unlicensed range assets might be apportioned to the LTE framework in remuneration for taking care of more WiFi clients.

ABSTRACT
Quality of Service (QoS) provisioning has become significant with the widely growth of multimedia
applications and high increase in the number of users in both wireless and wired networks. In this paper, we
implemented a session-aware policy based mechanism for QoS provisioning and control in LTE (Long Term
Evolution) networks. Policies are a set of rules identifying the QoS parameters for users. Implementation
included DiffServ (Differentiated Services) configuration and setting policies inside the PCRF (Policy Charging
Rules Function) which is the brain entity in LTE, then mapping from QCI (QoS Class ID) to DiffServ.
Moreover, the dialogue between PCEF (Policy Charging Enforcement Function) and PCRF was implemented.
Simulations on four different traffic application types: VoIP (voice over IP), video, web, and ftp (file transfer
protocol) were performed under the network simulator (ns2). Results showed that applying PCEF over the
different traffic applications has a great effect in controlling these applications and specifically UDP (User
Datagram Protocol) based applications such as video.
Index Terms: QoS, LTE, PCRF, PCEF, EPS.
I. INTRODUCTION
Multimedia applications have been widely
used in the recent wired and wireless networks [1].
They include advanced features such as high rate,
timing constraints, and high computations.
Developing new multimedia applications requires
specific network resources. The biggest challenge
is for the wireless networks where resources are
rare and shared among users. Thus, the complexity
of multimedia networking is a natural result of
integrating a diversity of the traffic patterns and the
performance requirements of different multimedia
sources (video, voice, and data) over a single
communication channel. Thus, the QoS
provisioning is being strongly required to support
such applications. Foundations of QoS include
throughput, reliability, timeliness, and perceived
quality. The best utilization of resources in a
network environment is only possible by first
characterizing the traffic, then determining the
required QoS parameters such as tolerated delay,
jitter, packet loss ratio, and required bandwidth [2].
Hence, controlling the traffic is an efficient way to
ensure that user traffic fit within his constraints.
Hence to provision appropriate QoS, LTE operators
[3] had to implement policy-based mechanisms that
allow controlling the traffic so that user traffic fits
within pre-defined constraints.
As users have different QoS profiles over
the internet, providers are interested in assigning
users controlled bandwidth according to their QoS
profiles so that gold users are assigned the
maximum bandwidth they paid for. Thus, our main
objective is to implement a policy based
mechanism to control QoS in LTE networks;
however, it is not a simple task. This includes
mapping of QoS from LTE to QoS in DiffServ with
setting the policies in the PCRF node and
implementing the dialogue between the PCRF and
PCEF which is the function that enforces policies.
PCRF decides the level of resources to be assigned
to users based on policy manner [4][5].
This paper aims to implement in ns2 a policy based
mechanism to control QoS in LTE networks. To
sum up the following contributions have been
added:
- Create and configure the policies.
- Implement the mapping from QoS in LTE to
QoS in DiffServ.
- Implement the PCRF and PCEF entities of
LTE.
- Implement the dialogue between PCRF and
PCEF.
- Apply the policies over a session.
- Extract and analyze results.
The paper is organized as follows. In
Section II, we review the evolved packet system as
proposed in LTE. Section III describes the
implementation environment. Section IV presents
the simulation results. Finally, Section V concludes
the paper.

II. EVOLVED PACKET SYSTEM
(EPS) IN LTE
A. Policy control concept
The policy control can be defined as an
application of rules to tune access and usage for
network resources. In the Evolved Packet System
(EPS) of LTE, a network controlled QoS approach
has been proposed, it aims to remedy the
shortcomings of the previously adopted user
initiated QoS architecture. This approach considers
that the resource reservation can be not directly
triggered by the subscriber, but by a brain entity
PCRF to which the request has to be signaled. This
entity has the only responsibility to specify the
charging functions, and to decide of the level of
resources that have to be reserved based on a policy
oriented manner while taking into account the
momentary resources available on the network
elements [4][5].
The Evolved Packet Core (EPC) [6] is
responsible for the whole control of the UE (User
Equipment) and consists of three main logical
nodes: packet data network (PDN) Gateway
(PGW), Serving Gateway (SGW), and Mobility
Management Entity (MME). Additionally, it
contains other logical nodes and functions: Home
Subscriber Server (HSS) and the PCRF.
The PCRF is responsible for policy
control decision-making in which it analyzes how
data flows are to be treated in the PCEF located in
the PGW, and ensures that they meet with the users
subscription profiles located in the HSS.
The PGW is a router located in the home
domain of the user and directly interfaces with the
SGW. It acts as a policy enforcement point,
generates charging records at service level, and
implements QCI to DSCP (DiffServ Code Point)
mapping function. In addition, it is responsible of
IP address allocation for the users, executes deep
inspection and legal interception functions, and
also serves as the mobility anchor for interworking
with non-3GPP. S-GW is a router located in the
local domain of the user and connected to the eNB
(evolved Node B). It acts as a policy enforcement
point at the packet level for dynamic QoS policies,
implements QCI to DSCP mapping functions, and
performs some administrative functions in the
visited network such as collecting information for
charging and lawful interception. S-GW also serves
as the mobility anchor for interworking with other
3GPP technologies.
B. Detailed LTE QoS model
QoS concept in EPS is class-based. In IP
network terms, that means that there is a label
(DSCP) which can be used for differentiation of
services. The label in EPS is defined by QCI (QoS
Class Identifier), which is a scalar that represents
the QoS characteristics that the network elements
are expected to provide for multiple SDFs (Service
Data Flow) in an EPS bearer. In LTE, an EPS
bearer corresponds to a one common QoS policy
applied on the different sections of the network,
this includes the UE to eNB section, the eNB to
SGW section, and the SGW to PGW section as
shown in Fig. 1. This means that all the SDF
packets carried by the EPS bearer will be handled
by applying the same scheduling algorithm, the
same queuing policy and priority, the same RLC
(Radio Link control) configurations on the radio
access section, and the same policing and shaping
mechanisms. Therefore, the user might need a
separate EPS bearer if he/she requires different
QoS levels. In TS23.401 (S5/S8 GTP-based mode),
the EPS bearer terminates in the P-GW. The PCRF
entity injects the decisions and policies to the P-
GW, which will enforce their execution by
applying them via a PCEF function through packet
filters at the SDF (Service Data Flows) level within
an EPS bearer [6].

The QCI will be mapped to a preconfigured QoS
rules decided by the operator. It comprises the
following elements:
- Bearer type: GBR (Guaranteed Bit Rate) or
non-GBR, used to indicate whether the
resources associated with that EPS bearer must
be permanently allocated during the whole
bearer lifetime (GBR), or the resources can be
shared with other EPS bearers (non-GBR)
during the bearer lifetime.
- L2PDB (Layer 2 Packet Delay Budget): used
as an input to the layer 2 queue management
system in order to control the maximum delay
that a frame may reside within the link layer
between the UE and the first hop (eNB).
- L2PLR (Layer 2 Packet Loss Rate): used as an
input to the layer 2 configuration parameters in
order to control the ratio of layer frames which
have not successfully delivered to the eNB
entity.
An EPS bearer is also characterized by an
MBR (Maximum Bit Rate) which is used only for
GBR EPS bearers, in order to limit the maximum
bit rate of a GBR bearer. It works jointly with the
GBR parameter. We can imagine an operator
application (AF) sending a VoD (Video On
Demand) stream which has a MBR greater than
GBR, in such a way the operator can guarantee a
GBR during the current network conditions, and a
MBR (higher quality) where more network
resources are available in the perfect conditions.
Finally, the EPS architecture has also
introduced the concept of default bearers and
dedicated bearers. A default bearer is only non-
GBR EPS bearer, it is set up when the user attaches
to the network, and remains established during the
whole lifetime of the connection. This is the
concept of the “Always ON” connectivity defined
by EPS. Being “Always ON” contributes in
eliminating the EPS bearer establishment delay
once the user has attached the network for the first
time. Any additional EPS bearer requested by the
user or triggered by the network is called a
dedicated bearer, which can be a GBR or non-GBR
bearer.
III. IMPLEMENTATION
ENVIRONMENT
A. Preliminaries and network model
Fig. 2 illustrates the targeted system
model as well as the links parameters between the
different nodes in terms of bandwidth and delay.
Our main interest is in the packet core of LTE
network. Recall that PCRF is the brain entity in
LTE architecture; we implemented the network in a
way the PGW can monitor the session type (VoIP,
video, Web…) by inspecting the traffic that flows
through it. For each new session, the PGW will ask
the PCRF for a new policy that the PCEF should
apply over this specific session. The
implementation ensures that the PCRF inject
policies and decisions to the PGW which enforces
them by PCEF through packet filters at the SDF
level with an EPS bearer. We have created four
types of traffic, VoIP, video, FTP, and web. Both
FTP and web traffics are implemented over TCP,
whereas VoIP and video traffic are implemented
over UDP.

B. Implementation details
All implementations were conducted and
developed in the network simulator (ns2) [7]. On
the IP level, we assigned a set of DSCP [8]
marking codes to the different types of traffic, then
classified them into many queues as shown in Fig.
3. The LLQ (low latency queue) which is a
combination of PQ (Priority Queuing) and
CBWFQ (Class Based Weighted Fair Queuing)
was also integrated. We classified the VoIP traffic
in a PQ since it is not tolerable for delay and delay
variations. The other types of traffic are classified
into a CBWFQ with different weights (video of
weight 0.4, web of weight 0.35, and FTP of weight
0.25). The total bandwidth is 1 Gbps; 85% of it is
assigned to the CBWFQ, and the rest 15% is
dedicated to the PQ (voice traffic). We defined four
physical queues for the different types of traffic,
the voice has 2 logical queues. The rest 3 queues
(video, web, and FTP) each has 3 logical queues -3
drop precedences – (AF41-AF42-AF43, AF31-
AF32-AF33, and AF21-AF22-AF23 respectively).
We defined the applied policer and the
shaping/dropping technique for the different types
of traffic. For VoIP traffic, a token bucket policer is
applied which uses CIR (committed information
rate) and CBS (committed burst size) and two drop
precedence EF (Expedited Forwarding) and AF42
(Assured Forwarding), that is an arriving packet is
marked with the lower precedence (AF42) if and
only if it is larger than the token bucket. For the
rest of traffic, a two rate three color marker policer
(trTCM) is applied that uses CIR, CBS, PIR (peak
information rate), and PBS (peak burst size) to
choose from three drop precedences. The
shaping/dropping technique is Drop for VoIP and
WRED for the rest of traffic.

Fig. 3. Adopted QoS implementation at IP level
The main challenge was to implement under ns2
the QCI-DSCP mapping from eNB to SGW and
from PGW to SGW and not vice versa as shown in
Fig. 4, the bearer type was only mapped from eNB
to SGW and from PGW to SGW.
Fig. 4. Levels of mapping from QCI to DSCP
We configured the policies in the Service Profile
Repository which is in our case located in the
PCRF. In our implementation, we did not use all
the standardized QCI values; we only use five QCI
values, and we mapped the DSCP marking to QCI
as illustrated in Table I.
Table I. Mapping DSCP marking to QCI
In our configuration each bearer has an
SLA (Service Level Agreement); that is we cannot
have two bearers with different SLAs and same
QCI; in the following each bearer is assigned a
QCI, we have six bearers; control, default, VoIP,
video, FTP, and web. For each bearer we can
assign a new SLA that is QCI and MBR at UL
(Uplink) and DL (Downlink) as shown in Table II.

IV. SIMULATION RESULTS
Simulations were performed using the
four different types of traffic. However, to validate
the implementation results, we decided to show
how the PCEF is applying the policies over ftp and
video sessions (TCP and UDP traffic respectively).
After assigning sla(1) to the video traffic,
the throughput and goodput are clearly different
and they both decrease. As depicted in Fig 5, the
throughput starts at 55 Kbps then decreases slowly
to reach an almost constant value of 50 Kbps,
whereas the goodput (measured at UE) starts at 33
Kbps and decreases to reach 4 Kbps. This decrease
is due to applying a policy in the PCEF that ensures
that the corresponding session does not exceed the
allowed MBR.
Fig. 5. Avg. DL throughput/goodput for video
session at UE
In Fig. 6, the packet loss percentage
increases to reach 90% at the end of simulation
time interpreting the drop in the goodput and its
difference with the throughput. Note that late
packets will be discarded by the UE since they will
dropped by the PGW and will not be stored in the
dejitter buffer of the UE.
Fig. 6. DL packet lost/discarded rate at UE.
In Fig. 7, the average video delay starts at
500ms and increases to reach 4500ms which is
considered bad. This affects the jitter and the
packet loss rate which also increases drastically.
As for ftp traffic which was assigned an
sla(3), Fig. 8 shows that the throughput and good
put curves increase to reach a value of 32 Kbps
which is set in the SLA. We can notice that the UE
was able to receive all the ftp traffic. That is
because the network was able to send the injected
ftp traffic and to deliver all TCP segments as
shown in Fig. 9 where the average retransmission
rate measured at the ftp server was negligible.

V. CONCLUSION AND FUTURE WORK
As LTE networks involve advanced
multimedia applications, controlling QoS based on
policy mechanism is a significant challenging
issue. In this paper, a policy based mechanism was
implemented in ns2. It includes the mapping from
QCI to DiffServ and the implementation of the
dialogue between the PCRF and the PCEF in the
PGW. Simulations were performed using four
applications: VoIP, video, web, and ftp. Results
have shown that the use of PCEF has a great
influence on the UDP based applications (video).
Hence, LTE Operators can rely on such
mechanisms to control the QoS level of the
sessions that consume their bandwidth depending
on the assigned SLA.
As future work, we will integrate a
dynamic policy based mechanism that is based on a
prediction algorithm in which more than one policy
can be assigned to users during a session. The
algorithm will serve the PCRF to adapt the level of
applied QoS based on accurate predictions related
to the traffic behavior and network conditions.
