  2. Presentation outline • Motivation • Background • Problem Delimitation • Preliminary Simulation • Proposed QoS algorithms • Future work

  3. What is End2End QoS? • Motivation • Quality of Service is a set of requirements to be met by the network while transporting a traffic flow. • Only the QoS perceived by end-user matters [1]

  4. QoS mechanisms End2End QoS Parameters • Delay • Jitter • Loss Rate • Throughput • These parameters reflect the traffic flow through the network. QoS provision mechanisms and QoS control mechanisms [2]: • QoS provision mechanisms include parameters mapping, admission and resource reservations schemes. • QoS control mechanisms consist of traffic shaping, scheduling, policing and control.

  5. Offered QoS through SLA • QoS can be offered by network service provider in terms of Service Level Agreement (SLAs) i) Network Availability ii) Guaranteed bit-rate iii) Payment model iv) Other legal necessities

  6. Why is QoS needed in UMTS? UMTS Release 4 A main challenge for UMTS is to convey various types of traffics on the same medium while meeting their different QoS requirements, especiallyfor real-time applications. UMTS Release 5 Note: UMTS core networks evolution to all IP backbone.

  7. The E2E UMTS QoS case we are investigating 2. Background Application Servers Internet UTRAN UEs SGSN GGSN Two domain involved form end-2-End QoS point of view: UMTS domain QoS and IP domain QoS

  8. 2.1 UMTS QoS Domain: End2End QoS Architecture • 3GPP layered structure [1]

  9. UMTS QoS - UMTS QoS classes

  10. UMTS QoS provisioning • Existing UMTS QoS mechanisms: - QoS profile - Traffic Flow Template (TFT) - PDP context • What is missing in 3GPP standardization? - UTRAN part: QoS parameters mapping to Radio Resource Management strategies - UMTS core network part: IP layer transport mechanisms on the Gn and Gi interface

  11. 2.2 IP QoS DiffServ and InterServ comparison

  12. 3. Problem Delimitation Network Architecture for QoS Conceptual Models

  13. Problem Statement • External IP network: IETF standard QoS mechanism – DiffServ or InterServ • UMTS network domain: • 1) QoS classes mapping between External IP QoS classes and UMTS QoS classes, and • UMTS Bear Service (BS) attributes mapping to Core Network (CN) BS and Radio • Access Bearer (RAB) and further to Radio BS and Iu BS. • 2) Call Admission Control in every multiplexing point (GGSN, SGSN, etc) • 3) GGSN policing: check downlink flow and filter it according to TFT • 4) Scheduling and congestion mechanisms in CN transmission (I,e, WFQ, WRED, etc) • 5) QoS differentiation implementation in RRM • 3) Other open issues: Application level End2End QoS provisioning, i.e, SIP signalling

  14. State of the Arts Advanced Radio Resource Management for Wireless Services(ARROW) : www.arrow-ist.es This project aims at providing advanced Radio Resource Management (RRM) and Quality of Service (QoS) management solutions, for both UTRA-TDD and UTRA-FDD modes. It includes packet access, Asymmetrical traffic and high bit rate (2 Mbit/s) services for multimedia IP based applications. Although ARROWS concentrates on the QoS aspects of UTRAN, a global QoS framework is proposed, which is relevant with our work. 2. Advanced Services by Mastering UMTS (SAMU) : www.samu.crm-paris.com The innovative work in QoS from SAMU includes UMTS/IP QoS mapping architecture and UMTS link layer optimization for TCP. The architecture includes both mapping between IP DiffServ and UMTS bearer and mapping from UMTS bearer to lower layer. We refer to the mapping between IP DiffServ and UMTS Bearer from this project.

  15. 3.Simulation of Enhanced UMTS Access and Core Networks (SEACORN) : www.seacorn.ptinovacao.pt Development, and implementation of resource management algorithms enabling QoS provisioning and differentiation while optimizing resource efficiency This project contribute a system level UMTS network simulator based on NS-2, named Enhanced UMTS Radio Access Network Extensions (EURANE), which We chose as the base of our simulator. • Contributions and drawbacks of these related works: a). Many E2E QoS frameworks were proposed but solid implementation and simulation output are still missing. b). QoS attributes mapping are designed but not implemented. c). These work more focused on the RRM implementation, no core network QoS mechanisms are considered. d). None of the framework gives a clear picture about the impact of mixing real-time and non-realtime traffics on the QoS aspects.

  16. Problem Delimitation • Traffic: Mixed types of user data (real-time and non-real-time) flow from external application servers to UMTS User Equipments (UEs). And we only focus on downlink traffic flow. • For Internet/External network QoS -> IETF DiffServ approach was chosen. Reason: more scalable and easy to manage when more than one network operator involved. • In UMTS Core Network side: 1) Mapping mechanism from DiffServ QoS classes to UMTS QoS classes in GGSN 2) Call Admission Control in GGSN considering required QoS profile and available equivalent bandwidth 3) Scheduling and queuing mechanisms to differentiate different UEs according to their UMTS service classes (Conversational, Streaming, Interactive, Background)

  17. Simulation Tool – Network Simulator version 2 (NS-2) and its UMTS extension No PDP Context Functionality. SGSN and GGSN are “Routers” from standard NS-2. DiffServ functionalities are available Some buffer management algorithms are available for congestion control, i.e. Random Early Discard (RED)

  18. Appl. Server1 UE1 Appl. Server2 UE2 Node B RNC SGSN GGSN Appl. Server3 UE3 4. Preliminary Simulation Simulation Scenarios: 1. Network Topology 2Mb 10Mb 2Mb 10Mb 10Mb 1Mb 10Mb 10Mb 2Mb

  19. 2. Traffic Model • Constant Bit Rate (CBR) source for real-time applications • Exponential traffic source for non-realtime applications • All traffic is working on UDP protocol 3. Mobility Model none 4. Propagation Model Ideal, Standard NS-2 error model to be set in future 5. QoS mechanism Best Effort

  20. Simulation Result 1 User throughput when the total traffic load is lower then the bandwidth in Core network (SGSN-GGSN)

  21. Simulation Result 2 Slightly overload Heavily overload User throughput when the total traffic load is higher then the bandwidth in Core network (SGSN-GGSN)

  22. Conclusion In case of Best Effort transmission, the real-time traffics will suffered from the mixing with non-realtime Traffics in case of network congestion.

  23. PDP Context generation through event based 5. Proposed End2End QoS algorithms Database (At the time of event Generator and use it for CAC UE1 DS 1 Core Router Edge Router SGSN GGSN UE1 UE2 CAC Mapping UE3

  25. Mapping UMTS QoS Attributes are Guaranteed Bit Rate and SDU size. IP QoS Attributes are burst size and arrival rate stored in traffic profile of the SLA. [2] Differentiated Services considered. IPv4 header field TOS is used for DSCP. Assured Forwarding is considered for the traffic class buffering.

  26. Core Router: PHB Scheduling,Buffering Mapping-continue Traffic Profile: Burst Size, Arrival Rtes DS1 Assumptions are IPv4, AF for PHB GGSN Guaranteed Bit rate, SDU Size

  27. database 2 External Net ER 3 4 1 SGSN GGSN Call Admission Control • Incoming Traffic class, • Check with the Database for the Resource reservation, • Set priority based on the Available BW and Traffic class, I.e Real-time: High priority, Non Real-time: Low Priority, • Scheduling, policy setting

  28. Conclusion The most of technical paper or EU funded project proposed the the concept but none with the E2E aspect. As the emphasis is on the Multimedia Services , Hence the mapping between the UMTS and the IP Network is the highest priority. The proposed algorithm will offset the limitation of an available simulator with the implementation of Event based PDP Context and traffic generation. The purpose of the proposed topology is to design the algorithm which deals the End to End QoS aspect including mapping,Scheduling and resource reservation. The proposed algorithm will reduce the end2end delay and packet loss probability

  29. Future Work Implementation of proposed topology and validation of proposed algorithm. To show that the mix of non real time application makes the real time application to suffer. To show the proposed queuing and scheduling technique will improve the real time application When it mix with non real time application. To show the Guaranteed bit rate per user can be achieved even during the congestion .
