This paper proposes a load balancing algorithm using fuzzy logic so that maximum Quality of Experience can
be achieved. Avoidance of congestion is one of the major performance objectives of traffic engineering in
MPLS networks. Load balancing can prevent the congestion caused due to inefficient allocation of network
resources. Another aspect of the network performance is Quality of Experience (QoE). QoE in
telecommunications terminology, it is a measurement used to determine how well that network is satisfying the
end user's requirements. The Mean Opinion Score (MOS) is an important factor in determining the QoE. MOS
is a measurement of the quality delivered by the network based on human perception at the destination end.
Specifically we can tell mean opinion score (MOS) provides a numerical indication of the perceived quality of
received media after compression and/or transmission.
The article looks into the current state of the art of dynamic routing protocols with respect to their
possibilities to react to changes in the Quality of Service when selecting the best route towards a
destination network. New options that could leverage information about the ever changing QoS parameters
for data communication are analysed and a Cisco Performance Routing solution is described more in
detail. The practical part of this work focuses on a design and implementation of a test bed that provides a
scalable laboratory architecture to manipulate QoS parameters of different data communications flowing
through it. The test bed is used in various use cases that were used to evaluate Cisco Performance Routing
optimization capabilities in different scenarios.
Joint Routing and Congestion Control in Multipath Channel based on Signal to ...IJECEIAES
Routing protocol and congestion control in Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) have important roles in wireless mobile network performance. In wireless communication, the stability of the path and successful data transmission will be influenced by the channel condition. This channel condition constraints come from path loss and the multipath channel fading. With these constraints, the algorithm in the routing protocol and congestion control is confronted with the uncertainty of connection quality and probability of successful packet transmission, respectively. It is important to investigate the reliability and robustness of routing protocol and congestion control algorithms in dealing with such situation. In this paper, we develop a detailed approach and analytical throughput performance with a cross layer scheme (CLS) between routing and congestion control mechanism based on signal to noise ratio (SNR) in Rician and Rayleigh as multipath fading channel. We proposed joint routing and congestion control TCP with a cross layer scheme model based on SNR (RTCP-SNR). We compare the performance of RTCP-SNR with conventional routing-TCP and routing-TCP that used CLS with routing aware (RTCP-RA) model. The analyses and the simulation results showed that RTCP-SNR in a multipath channel outperforms conventional routing-TCP and RTCP-RA.

In this paper we proposed a new optimization approach to enhance decision making of TCP based on some changes of IEEE 802.11 MAC uses cross layer approach. The aim is to minimize the impact of retransmissions of packet lost and energy consumption in order to analyse and chose the appropriate routing protocol for TCP that can be enhance QoS MANET. Our simulation results based QoS study using NS3 show that, our proposal achieved better performance of TCP in MANETs significantly, and also improved the throughput, energy consumption and facilitates the traffic transmission over routing protocol.
ECA MODEL BASED QOS AODV ROUTING FOR MANETSIJCNCJournal
Applications like banking, interactive multimedia, movie on demand, VOIP, etc., are delay sensitive by
nature. The QoS given to users will be affected by network delay, which can be mitigated by employing
QoS routing and efficient data transfer. To build routing table, normal AODV routing uses flooding
technique, which will not consider QoS requirements. Hence QoS based routing which is stable for the
entire application is essential, which understands the dynamic nature of the MANET and establishes the
required route, in minimum possible time. We have proposed an intelligent routing protocol based ECA
model and AODV for establishing QoS route.
The simulation results shows that the ECA model gives better results, while considering the local
connectivity time, source to destination connectivity time, number of data packets successfully delivered to
the destination, local and global error correction time, compared to AODV.

MULTI-CONSTRAINTS ADAPTIVE LINK QUALITY INDEX BASED MOBILE-RPL ROUTING PROTOC...IJCNCJournal
The importance of IPv6 Routing Protocol for Low power and Lossy Networks (LLNs), also called RPL, has motivated in the development of a robust and quality of service (QoS) oriented Multi-Constraints Adaptive Link Quality Index (MALQI) based routing protocol. Unlike classical RPL protocols, MALQI enables mobile-RPL while ensuring fault-resilient, reliable and QoS communication over LLNs. MALQI protocol exploits key novelties such as signal strength based mobile node positioning, average received signal strength indicator (ARSSI) and ETX based objective function for fault tolerant best forwarding path selection. The functional architecture of MALQI enables it to be used as the parallel to the link layer RPL that even in the case of link failure can assist efficient data delivery over LLNs. Once detecting link outage, MALQI can execute node discover and best forwarding path selection to assist QoS delivery. Contiki-Cooja based simulation reveals that MALQI based mobile-RPL outperforms other state-of-art routing protocols.
The congestion control within the TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) plays a critical role in
amending data rate to evade congestion from happening possibilities. Based on TCP communication sender
not only guarantees the successful packet delivery, but also maintains the correct sequence of packets by
receiving the frequent acknowledgement from the receiver. In this research we proposed a congestion
control scheme with modified TCP and queue length variation with OLSR routing protocol in MANET. The
TCP protocol performance is modified by forwarding busy channel signals to predecessor nodes through
intermediate nodes in network. The congestion is controlled by that novel method of detecting the node is
busy or ready for communication. If the communication is start in network and the possibility if congestion
is arise, then in that case the queue length is handle the possibility of congestion. The congestion is
minimized due to awaring about the channel busy status and nodes buffer status or queue status. The TCP
protocol is able to handle the congestion situation but i.e. completely based on acknowledgement of receiver
and also not very effective to control it. The proposed TCP congestion control OLSR routing is improves
the network performance by reducing packet loss. The performance of network is measure through
performance metrics like throughput, PDF and Routing overhead in different node density scenarios. The
performance of proposed scheme is provides the better results.
PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF OLSR PROTOCOL IN MANET CONSIDERING DIFFERENT MOBILITY...ijwmn
A Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) is created when an independent mobile node network is connected
dynamically via wireless links. MANET is a self-organizing network that does not rely on pre-existing
infrastructure such as wired or wireless network routers. Mobile nodes in this network move randomly,
thus, the topology is always changing. Routing protocols in MANET are critical in ensuring dependable
and consistent connectivity between the mobile nodes. They conclude logically based on the interaction
between mobile nodes in MANET routing and encourage them to choose the optimum path between source
and destination. Routing protocols are classified as proactive, reactive, or hybrid. The focus of this project
will be on Optimized Link State Routing (OLSR) protocol, a proactive routing technique. OLSR is known as
the optimized variant of link state routing in which packets are sent throughout the network using the
multipoint relay (MPR) mechanism. This article evaluates the performance of the OLSR routing protocol
under condition of changing mobility speed and network density. The study's performance indicators are
average packet throughput, packet delivery ratio (PDR), and average packet latency. Network Simulator 2
(NS-2) and an external patch UM-OLSR are used to simulate and evaluate the performance of such
protocol. As a result of research, the approach of implementing the MPR mechanism are able to minimise
redundant data transmission during the normal message broadcast. The MPRs enhance the link state
protocols’ traditional diffusion mechanism by selecting the right MPRs. Hence, the number of undesired
broadcasts can be reduced and limited. Further research will focus on different scenario and environment
using different mobility model
Thus the article offers the model represented by algebraic equations and inequalities for routing and
policing traffic in infocommunication network. The novelty of the model is as follows: multiflow nature of
modern ICN is taken into account (1), i.е. a set of flows circling between different pairs of network routers are
considered simultaneously; coherent formalization of processes of traffic routing and policing within the model
that has lower dimensionality in comparison to known earlier is provided; the choice of optimality criterion, use
of which allows to implement multipath routing with consequent inclusion of paths as well as to organize
limitation of flow intensity on all the used routs simultaneously depending on their characteristics and flow
priority. According to the results of the analysis conducted we offer recommendations for choosing relation in
numerical values of routing metrics and service denial regarding the provision of the given values for the main
QoS characteristics, e.g. average packet delay. The model can be used as a basis for perspective protocol
decisions aimed at coherence of solutions for the tasks of traffic routing and policing. Further development of
the given model is possible under full account of stochastic characteristics of packet flows circling in the
network.
EFFECTS OF MAC PARAMETERS ON THE PERFORMANCE OF IEEE 802.11 DCF IN NS-3ijwmn
This paper presents the design procedure of the NS-3 script for WLAN that is organized according to the hierarchical manner of TCP/IP model. We configure all layers by using NS-3 model objects and set and modify the values used by objects to investigate the effects of MAC parameters (access mechanism, CWmin, CWmax and retry limit) on the performance metrics viz. packet delivery ratio, packet lost ratio, aggregated throughput, and average delay. The simulation results show that RTS/CTS access mechanism outperforms basic access mechanism in saturated state, whereas the MAC parameters have no significant impact on network performance in non-saturated state. A higher value of CWmin improves the aggregated throughput in expense of average delay. The tradeoff relationships among the performance metrics are also observed in results for the optimal values of MAC parameters. Our design procedure represents a good guideline for new NS-3 users to design and modify script and results greatly benefit the network design and management.
Packet Transfer Rate & Robust Throughput for Mobile Adhoc NetworkEswar Publications
An ad-hoc wireless network is highly different considering dynamic stochastic process of its underlying links, leads to link breaks during data transaction. Hence, to provide free flow data transaction, many routing algorithms have the property of link recovery and maintenance procedures to minimize the loss of data during transmission. However these routing method do not guarantee reliable data transmission in some special application conditions with wide requirements on Packet delivery ratio and link quality of the network. Routing is a critical issue in MANET and hence the focus of this paper is the performance analysis of different routing protocols used in the
wireless network. We evaluate the ability of a mobile ad hoc wireless network to distribute flows across robust routes by introducing the robust throughput measure as a performance metric. The utility gained by the delivery of flow messages is based on the level of interruption experienced by the underlying transaction. We describe the mathematical calculation of a network’s robust throughput measure, as well as its robust throughput capacity. We introduce the robust flow admission and routing algorithm (RFAR) to provide for the timely and robust transport of flow transactions across mobile ad hoc wireless systems.
The exponential rise in wireless communication systems and allied applications has revitalized academiaindustries to achieve more efficient data transmission system to meet Quality-of-Service (QoS) demands. Amongst major wireless communication techniques, Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) is found potential to provide decentralized and infrastructure less communication among multiple distributed nodes across network region. However, dynamic network conditions such as changing topology, congestion, packet drop, intrusion possibilities etc often make MANET’s routing a tedious task. On the other hand, mobile network feature broadens the horizon for intruders to penetrate the network and causes performance degradation. Unlike classical MANET protocols where major efforts have been made on single network parameter based routing decision, this research paper proposes a novel Elitist Genetic Algorithm (EGA) Multi-Objective Optimization assisted Network Condition Aware QoS-Routing Protocol for Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MNCQM). Our proposed MNCQM protocol exhibits two phase implementation where at first it performs node-profiling under dynamic network topology for which three factors; irregular MAC information exchange, queuing overflow and topological variations have been considered. Towards this objective node features like Packet Forwarding Probability (PFP) at the MAC layer, Success Probability of Data Transmission (SPDT) of a neighboring node, and Probability of Successful Data Delivery (PSDD) have been obtained to estimate Node-Trustworthiness Index (NTI), which is further used to eliminate untrustworthy nodes. In the second phase of implementation, a novel Evolutionary Computing assisted nondisjoint best forwarding path selection model is developed that exploits node’s and allied link’s connectivity and availability features to identify the quasi-sub-optimal forwarding paths. EGA algorithm intends to reduce hop-counts, connectivity-loss and node or link unavailability to estimate best forwarding node. One key feature of the proposed model is dual-supplementary forwarding path selection that enables alternate path formation in case of link outage and thus avoids any iterative network discovery phase.

An Ad hoc network is a collection of wireless mobile hosts forming a temporary network without the
aid of any centralized administration or standard support services. MANET can be defined using unstable
network infrastructure, self-organizing network topology and independent node mobility. This becomes
obtainable due to their routing techniques; in other terms, routing is a backbone for MANET. However, due to
network load routing performance of MANET is degraded thus, some optimization on network routing strategy
is required.
In this paper, we introduce a new technique by using the concept of Genetic algorithm (GA) with
AODV Protocol to make routing decision in computer network.
The goal of this paper is to find the optimal path between the source and destination nodes and increased the
QoS and Throughput. We implemented and compare this a new technique with the traditional AODV, and we
shows that the new technique is better performance than the traditional AODV.

Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) is effective in managing and utilizing available network bandwidth. It has advanced security features and a lower time delay. The existing literature has covered the performance of MPLS-based networks in relation to conventional Internet Protocol (IP) networks. But, too few literatures exist on the performance of MPLS-based Virtual Private Networks (VPN) in relation to traditional VPN networks. In this paper, a comparison is made between the effectiveness of the MPLS-VPN network and a classic VPN network using simulation studies done on OPNET®. The performance metrics used to carry out the comparison include; End to End Delay, Voice Packet Sent/Received and Label Switched Path’s Traffic. The simulation study was carried out with Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) as the test bed. The result of the study showed that MPLS-based VPN networks outperform classic VPN networks.

In recent years, multi-channel multi-radio Wireless Mesh network has become one of the most important technologies in the evolution of next-generation networks. Its multi-hop, selforganization,self-healing and simple deployment is an effective way to solve the bottleneck problem of last mile. In this paper, we propose a new routing metric called WAEED, deployed in JCWAEED protocol, a joint channel assignment and weighted average expected end-to-end delay routing protocol which considers both interference suppression with factor IF and end-toend delay. Additionally, we give the exact calculation formula of transmission delay and queuing delay. Simulations results demonstrate that JCWAEED outperforms other joint design routing protocols in terms of throughput, end-to-end delay and packet loss rate.

Its multi-hop, selforganization,self-healing and simple deployment is an effective way to solve the bottleneck problem of last mile. In this paper, we propose a new routing metric called WAEED, deployed in JCWAEED protocol, a joint channel assignment and weighted average expected end-to-end delay routing protocol which considers both interference suppression with factor IF and end-toend delay. Additionally, we give the exact calculation formula of transmission delay and queuing delay. Simulations results demonstrate that JCWAEED outperforms other joint design routing protocols in terms of throughput, end-to-end delay and packet loss rate.

Segment routing is a network technology focused on addressing the pain points of existing IP and Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) networks in terms of simplicity, scale, and ease of operation. It’s a foundation for application engineered routing because it prepares the networks for new business models where applications can direct network behavior.
Segment routing seeks the right balance between distributed intelligence and centralized optimization and programming. It was built for the software-defined networking (SDN) era.
Segment routing enables enhanced packet forwarding behavior. It enables a network to transport unicast packets through a specific forwarding path, other than the normal shortest path that a packet usually takes. This capability benefits many use cases, and you can build those specific paths based on application requirements.
Segment routing uses the source routing paradigm. A node, usually a router but it can also be a switch, a trusted server, or a virtual forwarder running on a hypervisor, steers a packet through an ordered list of instructions, called segments. A segment can represent any instruction, topological or service-based. A segment can have a local semantic to a segment-routing node or global within a segment-routing network. Segment routing allows you to enforce a flow through any topological path and service chain while maintaining per-flow state only at the ingress node to the segment-routing network. To be aligned with modern IP networks, segment routing supports equal-cost multipath (ECMP) by design, and the forwarding within a segment-routing network uses all possible paths, when desired.

Mpls vpn using vrf virtual routing and forwardingIJARIIT
Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) which was introduced by Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) is
usually used in communication networks which started attracting all the internet service provider(ISP) networks with its
brilliant and excellent features that provide quality of services (QOS)and guarantees to traffic which carries data from one
network to another network directly through labels.
Virtual Private Network (VPN) is one of the highly useful MPLS applications which allow a service provider or a large enterprise
network to offer network Layer VPN services that guarantee and carries traffic securely and privately from customer’s one to
another through the service provider’s network. To support multiple customers that Customers Request for secure, reliable,
private and ultrafast connections over the internet MPLS VPN standards include the concept of a virtual router. This feature
called a VRF table. VRF or Virtual Routing and Forwarding technology that permit a router to have various routing table or
multiple VPN at the same time that they are located in the same router but they are independent and also the VRF feature in
VPN now allows different customers to use same IP addresses connected to the same ISP. A VRF exists inside a single MPLS
router and typically routers need at least one VRF for each customer attached to that particular router.
PERFORMANCE OF OLSR MANET ADOPTING CROSS-LAYER APPROACH UNDER CBR AND VBR TRA...IJCNCJournal
The routing protocols play an important role in Mobile Ad-Hoc Network (MANET) because of the dynamically change of its topology. Optimized Link State Routing (OLSR), unawareness of Quality of Service (QoS) and power-consumed protocol, is an example of a widely-used routing protocol in MANET.
The Multi-Point Relays (MPR) selection algorithm is very crucial in OLSR. Therefore, firstly, we propose a heuristic method to select the best path based on two parameters; Bit Error Rate (BER) derived from the physical layer and Weighted Connectivity Index (CI) adopted from the network layer. This can be done via the cross-layer design scheme. This is anticipated to enhance the performance of OLSR, provide QoS
guarantee and improve the power consumption. The performances of the proposed scheme are investigated
by simulation of two types of traffics: CBR and VBR (MPEG-4), evaluated by metrics namely Throughput, Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR), Average End-to-End Delay, Control Overhead and Average Total Power Consumption.We compare our results with the typical OLSR and OLSR using only Weighted CI. It is
obvious that our proposed scheme provides superior performances to the typical OLSR and OLSR using only Weighted CI, especially, at high traffic load.

Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.

Abstract
This paper proposes a load balancing algorithm using fuzzy logic so that maximum Quality of Experience can
be achieved. Avoidance of congestion is one of the major performance objectives of traffic engineering in
MPLS networks. Load balancing can prevent the congestion caused due to inefficient allocation of network
resources. Another aspect of the network performance is Quality of Experience (QoE). QoE in
telecommunications terminology, it is a measurement used to determine how well that network is satisfying the
end user's requirements. The Mean Opinion Score (MOS) is an important factor in determining the QoE. MOS
is a measurement of the quality delivered by the network based on human perception at the destination end.
Specifically we can tell mean opinion score (MOS) provides a numerical indication of the perceived quality of
received media after compression and/or transmission.

I. INTRODUCTION
Traffic engineering is a process that enhances
overall network utilization by attempting to create a
uniform or differentiated distribution of traffic
throughout the network. An important result of this
process is the avoidance of congestion on any one
path. It is important to note that traffic engineering
does not necessarily select the shortest path between
two devices. It is possible that, for two packet data
flows, the packets may traverse completely different
paths even though their originating node and the final
destination node are the same. This way, the less-
exposed or less-used network segments can be used
and differentiated services can be provided. In MPLS,
traffic engineering is inherently provided using
explicitly routed paths. The Label-switched paths
(LSPs) are created independently, specifying different
paths that are based on user-defined policies.
Multi-protocol label switching (MPLS) is a versatile
solution to address the problems faced by present-day
networks-speed, scalability, quality-of-service (QoS)
management and traffic engineering. MPLS has
emerged as an elegant solution to meet the
bandwidth-management and service requirements for
next-generation Internet protocol (IP)–based
backbone networks. MPLS addresses issues related to
scalability and routing (based on QoS and service
quality metrics) and can exist over existing
asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) and frame-relay
networks.

II. MULTI-PROTOCOL LABEL
SWITCHING
In computer networking and telecommunications,
Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) refers to a
mechanism which directs and transfers data between
Wide Area Networks (WANs) nodes with high
performance, regardless of the content of the data.
MPLS makes it easy to create "virtual links" between
nodes on the network, regardless of the protocol of
their encapsulated data.
The growing number of computer users on the
Internet and intranets, as well as new bandwidth
intensive applications such as those incorporating
voice and video, are driving the need for guaranteed
bandwidth and increased network reliability. The
typical frame 8520/and packet-based networks lack
the quality of service (QoS) and traffic shaping
sophistication of the powerful yet expensive ATM
networks. Furthermore, the proliferation of network
protocols increases the complexity and reduces
network capability and performance. In an effort to

increase throughput, reduce network complexity in
ATM networks, and bring advanced bandwidth
shaping and QoS capabilities to non-ATM networks,
the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) created
Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS).MPLS
combines the power of layer 2 switching with the
flexibility and intelligence of layer 3 protocols; it
operates independently of other network technologies
but is fully capable of interoperating with them.
MPLS brings non-ATM networks powerful QoS
capabilities, the ability to route multiple network
technologies (Ethernet, frame relay, ATM) over one
infrastructure and the capability of interoperating with
modern routing protocols such as RIP, OSPF and
BGP, while increasing efficiency and simplifying
network infrastructure.
Multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) is a
versatile solution to address the problems faced by
present-day networks—speed, scalability, quality-of-
service (QoS) management and traffic engineering.
MPLS has emerged as an elegant solution to meet the
bandwidth-management and service requirements for
next-generation Internet protocol (IP)–based
backbone networks. MPLS addresses issues related to
scalability and routing (based on QoS and service
quality metrics) and can exist over existing
asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) and frame-relay
networks. [1] and [2]. The devices that participate in
the MPLS protocol mechanisms can be classified into
label edge routers (LERs) and label switching routers
(LSRs).
An LSR is a high-speed router device in the core
of an MPLS network that participates in the
establishment of LSPs using the appropriate label
signaling protocol and high-speed switching of the
data traffic based on the established paths.
Figure 1: An MPLS Network
An LER is a device that operates at the edge of
the access network and MPLS network. LERs support
multiple ports connected to dissimilar networks (such
as frame relay, ATM, and Ethernet) and forwards this
traffic on to the MPLS network after establishing
LSPs, using the label signaling protocol at the ingress
and distributing the traffic back to the access
networks at the egress. The LER plays a very
important role in the assignment and removal of
labels, as traffic enters or exits an MPLS network.
III. TRAFFIC ENGINEERING
It is the process that enhances overall network
utilization by attempting to create a uniform or
differentiated distribution of traffic throughout the
network. An important result of this process is the
avoidance of congestion on any one path. It is
important to note that traffic engineering does not
necessarily select the shortest path between two
devices. It is possible that, for two packet data flows,
the packets may traverse completely different paths
even though their originating node and the final
destination node are the same. This way, the less-
exposed or less-used network segments can be used
and differentiated services can be provided. In
MPLS, traffic engineering is inherently provided
using explicitly routed paths. The LSPs are created
independently, specifying different paths that are
based on user-defined policies. However, this may
require extensive operator intervention. RSVP and
CR–LDP are two possible approaches to supply
dynamic traffic engineering and QoS in MPLS. The
Current Internet Gateway Protocols (IGP) uses the
shortest paths to forward traffic. Using shortest paths
conserves network resources, but it causes some
resources of the network to be over utilized while the
others remain underutilized. The shortest paths from
different sources overlap at some links, causing
congestion on those links. The traffic from a source to
a destination exceeds the capacity of the shortest path,
while a longer path between these two routers is
under-utilized. The purpose of traffic engineering [3,
4] is to enhance network utilization and to improve
the architecture (topology and link capacity) of a
network in a systematic way, so that the network is
robust, adaptive and easy to operate. An efficient
traffic engineering solution shares the data traffic load
with the routers, nodes and switches in the network,
making none of its individual components either over
utilized or underutilized, thus assuring satisfactory
service delivery and optimizing resource efficiency.
IV. QUALITY OF EXPERIENCE
Quality of Experience is often used with Quality
of Service terminology are often used interchangeably
but are actually two separate concepts. QoE is the
overall performance of the system from the point of
view of the users. It is the measure of end-to-end
performance at the service level from the user
perspective and an indication of how well the system
meets the user’s needs. Quality of Service(QoS) also
refers to a set of technologies(QoS mechanism) that
enable the network administrator to manage the
effects of congestion as well as providing
differentiated service to selected network traffic flows

or to selected users. In order to deliver acceptable
service quality, QoS targets should be established for
each service and be included early on in system
design and engineering processes. QoE for the end
user is essential and will be a key differentiator with
respect to competing service offerings. Subscribers to
network services don’t care how service quality is
achieved. What matters to them is how well a service
meets their goals and expectations their Quality of
Experience (QoE).To achieve this end, the QoE
engineering process involves the following steps.
Defining the QoE matrices and targets.
Identify QoE contributing factors and
dependencies (delay, jitter and loss).
Traffic engineering and resource allocation. This
involves a control policy for routing, budget
allocation etc. In our case we will introduce a
load balancing algorithm to optimize the
impairments and jitter in order to maximize the
QoE.

Figure 2: Engineering Process of Quality of
Experience
As an important measure of the end-to-end
performance at the services level from the user's
perspective the QoE is an important metric for the
design of systems and engineering processes. This is
particularly relevant for video services because bad
network performance may highly affect the user's
experience, mainly because these services are
compressed and have low entropy. So, when
designing systems the expected output, i.e. the
expected QoE, is often taken into account also as a
system output metric.
This QoE metric is often measured at the end
devices and can conceptually be seen as the
remaining quality after the distortion introduced
during the preparation of the content and the delivery
through the network until it reaches the decoder at the
end device. There are several elements in the video
preparation and delivery chain and some of them may
introduce distortion. This causes the degradation of
the content and several elements in this chain can be
considered as "QoE relevant" for video services.
These are the encoding system, transport network,
access network, home network and end device.
The concept of QoE in engineering is also known
as Perceived Quality of Service (PQoS), in the sense
of the QoS as it is finally perceived by the end-user.
The evaluation of the PQoS for audiovisual content
will provide a user with a range of potential choices,
covering the possibilities of low, medium or high
quality levels. Moreover the PQoS evaluation gives
the service provider and network operator the
capability to minimize the storage and network
resources by allocating only the resources that are
sufficient to maintain a specific level of user
satisfaction.
The evaluation of the PQoS is a matter of
objective and subjective evaluation procedures, each
time taking place after the encoding process (post-
encoding evaluation). Subjective quality evaluation
processes (PQoS evaluation) require large amount of
human resources, establishing it as a time-consuming
process. Objective evaluation methods, on the other
hand, can provide PQoS evaluation results faster, but
require large amount of machine resources and
sophisticated apparatus configurations. Towards this,
objective evaluation methods are based and make use
of multiple metrics
IV. A. QUALITY OF EXPERIENCE METRICES
There are two popular methods to accesses
audiovisual quality: Subjective quality assessment
and objective quality assessment. Subjective quality
assessment means playing a sample audiovisual clips
to a number of participants. Their judgment of the
quality of the clip is collected and used as a quality
metric. Objective quality assessment does not rely on
human judgment and involves automated procedures
such as signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) measurement of
original and reconstructed signals and other
sophisticated algorithms such as Mean Square Error
(MSE) distortion, Frequency weighted MSE,
Segmented SNR and E-model to determine quality
metrics. The method we are going to adopt in our
work is the E-model. The problem with Subjective
quality assessment techniques is that human

perception of quality is based on individual
perception, which can vary significantly between a
given set of individuals. The problem with objective
quality assessment technique is that they may not
necessarily reflect the actual end user experience In
either case the output of these measurements is
MEAN OPINION SCORE (MOS) which ranks the
audiovisual quality on a scale of 1 to 5.here our
objective is to maximize the MOS which is our
metric. The table 1 below shows the audiovisual

Table 1: Audio Visual Quality Classes
IV.B FACTORS AFFECTING QOE
An important aspect in our problem is identifying
the network parameters that affect QoE the most and
knowing the relative impact of these parameters on
the QoE .Extensive studies have been carried out in
[4] [5] and [13] where it has been established by
objective and subjective experiments on audiovisual
traffic, that the variables which affect the MOS
ranking the most, are the dynamic network changes
caused by route fluctuation, competing traffic and
congestion .This network dynamics can be
characterized by 3 network metrics namely delay
,jitter and loss.
Delay is defined as the amount of time that a
packet takes to travel from sender’s application to the
receiver’s destination application. It is recommended
by [6] and also verified by [4] [5] that delay bounds
for the various grades of perceived performance in
terms of Human interaction can be defined as: GOOD
(0ms –150ms), ACCEPTABLE (150ms-300ms),
POOR (>300ms).
Jitter is defined as the variation in the delay of
the packets arriving at the receiving end. It is caused
due to congestion at various point in the network,
varying packet sizes that result in irregular processing
times of the packets and other such factors.
Loss is defined as the percentage of transmitted
packet that never reach the intended destination due
to deliberately discarded packets or non – deliberately
by intermediate links, nodes, and end–systems. It is
suggested that loss more than 1% can severely affect
audiovisual quality.
V. E-MODEL
The algorithm we will use exploits the E –model
as recommended in ITU-T G.107 [6] which returns a
value for ―Rating factor R‖ which offers an estimate
of the user option called the QoE. The E- model is a
well established computational model that uses the
transmission parameter to predict the subjective
quality .It uses a R scale whose value is from 0 to 100
and can be mapped to MOS rankings and user
satisfaction as shown in the table 3 [6]

Satisfaction
The purpose of the model is:
to predict the subjective effect of combinations of
impairments using stored information on the
effects of individual impairments
to help network planners design networks
to replace hierarchical models and
apportionment, which are difficult to apply in a
liberalized market
The basic equation for the model is: R = Ro – Is
– Id – Ie + A
Where:
Ro= Basic signal-to- noise ratio
Is = Impairments simultaneous to voice signal
Id = Impairments delayed after voice signal
Ie = Effects of special equipment e.g. codecs
A = Advantage factor (to take account of user
advantages such as mobility)
The R factor can be mapped to MOS by the formula,
For R>0: MOS=1
For 0<R<100: MOS=1+0.035R+R(R-60)(100-
R)7.10-6
For R>100 MOS=4.5
As this quantity only affects Id, the objective function
is characterized assuming default values for all other

By substituting (4) and (2) in (1), the rating factor
can be characterized as the function of the traffic rate

VII. CONCLUSION
Since it is difficult to develop as many
communication solutions as possible applications, the
scientific and technological communities aim towards
providing general services allowing to give to each
application or user a set of properties now-a-days
called ―Quality of Service‖ (QoS), a terminology
lacking a precise definition. This QoS concept takes
different forms according to the type of
communication service and the aspects which matter
for a given application: for performance it comes
through specific metrics (delays, jitter, throughput),
for dependability it also comes through appropriate
metrics: reliability, availability; vulnerability for
instance in the case of WAN (Wide Area Network)
topologies, etc. At the conclusion we can tell that
QoE is a subjective measure of performance in a
system. QoE relies on human opinion and differs
from quality of service (QoS), which can be precisely
measured. For example, a person's reaction to
listening to music through headphones is based not
only on the frequency response of the system and the
speakers, but the comfort of the unit and the
individual's hearing sensitivity.
