In recent years, as mobile devices increase, the demands for measuring the available
bandwidth in a wireless network increase more and more to provide high quality network …

This paper provides a methodology of estimating downlink throughput using the drive test
data collected by an RF scanner device rather than obtaining the downlink throughput via …

In this paper, we present a nonintrusive and time-based mechanism to estimate the
available bandwidth of a node with the nodes collision and backoff stage taken into account …

Bandwidth estimation techniques seek to provide an accurate estimation of available
bandwidth such that network applications can adjust their behavior accordingly. However …

The information of available bandwidth on an end-to-end path is important for various
network applications, and several probing methods have been proposed to estimate it in …

In the field of network monitoring and measurement, the efficiency and accuracy of the
adopted tools is strongly dependent on (i) structural and dynamic characteristics of the …

This paper proposes a method for measuring the available bandwidth, based on testing
network packets of various sizes (variable packet size method, VPS). The range of …

We present an original end-to-end available bandwidth measurement method, called
SMART (statistics measurement for avail-bw by random train). It resolves some of the …

The dispersion that arises when packets traverse a network carries information that can
reveal relevant network characteristics. Using a fluid-flow model of a bottleneck link with first …

The recent development of Internet cellular and wireless networks led several mobile phone
manufacturers to create smartphones able to connect to the Internet anytime-anywhere …
