This is an introduction to multicast routing, which is the study of methods for routing from one
source to many destinations, or from many sources to many destinations. Multicast is …

This work establishes a QoS-driven adaptive congestion control framework that provides
QoS guarantees to VoIP service flows in mixed traffic scenarios for wireless cellular …

Link adaptation is one of the key technologies used in high speed wireless networks such as
HSDPA and mobile WiMAX. The dynamic feature of mobile users' channel capacities brings …

While the demand for mobile broadband wireless services continues to increase, radio
resources remain scarce. Even with the substantial increase in the supported bandwidth in …

Transporting voice over IP, instead of traditional CS voice, is a necessary prerequisite for an
all IP network. Among the hurdles that need to be overcome are the QoS demands of VoIP …

The next-generation wireless communications have been envisioned to be supported by
heterogeneous networks using various wireless access technologies. The popular cellular …

The increasing demand for wireless heterogeneous multimedia services presents a real
challenge to mobile network operators. Even with the substantial increase in the supported …

A wireless cellular network operates normally when the offered traffic load stays around or
below a target point efined in the network planning phase. The network is able to work in an …

Packet Access (HSDPA) and the Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) …

In this master thesis, we discuss an adaptive Congestion Control (CC) framework for
networks employing OFDMA in the downlink. The adaptive CC is a generalization of a CC …
