    In future systems beyond IMT-2000, macrocell cellular systems such as the 3G systems and high bandwidth microcell wireless systems such as Wireless LAN will complement one another. Routing in the systems beyond IMT-2000 will support seamless inter- and intra-system handover among the cellular and WLAN systems by maintaining active connections. Under such environments, the time scales of mobility and bandwidth-sharing behavior cannot be easily separated. It is not obvious what fraction of traffic is accommodated by each cellular and WLAN system, i.e. the traffic distribution is unknown. This paper shows the considerable impacts the mobility of users has on the capacities of the systems beyond IMT-2000 with roaming capability between different bit rate systems. Especially, this paper demonstrates that the traffic distribution among different systems is a major factor in defining total network throughput. We also provide an analytical method to determine the traffic distribution based on the theory of queueing networks.

    In this paper, we evaluated performance of mobile exchange control network. Queueing network model is used for modeling of mobile exchange control network. We developed a call control processing and location registration scenario that has a message exchange function between processors in mobile exchange control network. The network symbols are used the simulation models that are composed of the initialization module, message generation module, message routing module, message processing module, message generation module, HIPC network processing module, output analysis module. As a result of computer simulation, we obtain the processor utilization, the mean queue length, the mean waiting time of control network based on call processing and location registration capacity. The call processing and location registration capacity are referred by the number of call attempts in the mobile exchange and must be satisfied with the quality of service (delay time).

    Over the last decade, the Internet has been extremely successful by distinguishing between overlaying applications and underlying networking technologies. This approach allows rapid and independent improvement in both networking and application technologies. The internetworking layer that divides applications and the network enables the Internet to function as a general and evolving infrastructures for data communications. The current Internet architecture offers only best-effort data delivery. However, recent emerging computer and networking technologies, demand the Internet guaranteed performance. In particular, audio and video applications have more rigid delay requirement than those applications which the current Internet supports. To offer guaranteed services in addition to best-effort services, both a new service model and a new architecture are necessary in the Internet architecture. The paper surveys researches and experiments conducted in the Internet community to accommodate a wide variety of qualities of services.

  • Thrashing in an Input Buffer Limiting Scheme under Various Node Configurations

    This paper is a study on the behavioral aspects of the input buffer limiting scheme whose basic feature is to award priority to the transit messages over the input messages so that congestion does not develop in the network. The numerical method employed in the analysis is that proposed in Ref.(7). The performance aspects are studied for different buffer capacities, different message handling capacities and different levels of reservation for transit traffic. The numerical method indicates that thrashing occurs at low levels of reservation for the transit messages, irrespective of the buffer size or the processor capacities of the node. This observation is supported by simulation results. With reference to the state-space of the model of our study, the congestion aspects are related to two Liapunov functions. Under the domain of one of the Liapunov functions, the evolution of the perturbed system is towards a congested state whereas, under the domain of the other Liapunov function, the evolution is towards a congestion-free state. Regardless of the configuration, it is found that the fundamental characteristic of the congestion under the input buffer limiting scheme is the characteristic of a fold catastrophe. In the systems with insufficient level of reservation for the transit traffic, the performance degradation appears to be inevitable, irrespective of the capacities of the nodal processor and output channel processor, and the size of the buffer pool. Given such an inevitability, the active life of a node under a typical node configuration is studied by simulation. A suitable performance index is suggested to assess the performance of deadlock-prone nodes.

    This paper describes the integration of a qualitative method and a quantitative method by Bottleneck Diagnosis/Improvement Expert Systems for Synchronized queueing network (BDES-S and BIES-S). On the basis of qualitative reasoning, BDES-S can carry out parameter tuning in order to diagnose and improve bottlenecks of synchronized queueing networks. BDES-S can produce several alternative qualitative improvement plans for one bottleneck server. BIES-S can produce quantitative improvement equations for each qualitative improvement plan. Our method using BDES-S and BIES-S can integrate both quantitative and qualitative methods for parameter tuning on complicated queueing synchronized networks.

    Optimal static load balancing problems in open BCMP queueing networks with state-independent arrival and service rates are studied. Their examples include optimal static load balancing in distributed computer systems and static routing in communication networks. We refer to the load balancing policy of minimizing the overall mean response (or sojourn) time of a job as the overall optimal policy. We show the conditions that the solutions of the overall optimal policy satisfy and show that the policy uniquely determines the utilization of each service center, the mean delay for each class and each path class, etc., although the solution, the utilization for each class, the mean delay for all classes at each service center, etc., may not be unique. Then we give tha linear relations that characterize the set whose elements are the optimal solutions, and discuss the condition wherein the overall optimal policy has a unique solution. In parametric analysis and numerical calculation of optimal values of performance variables we must ensure whether they can be uniquely determined.
