With the rising number of web services created to build complex business processes, selecting the appropriate web service from a large number of web services respond to the same client request with the same functionality are developed independently but with different quality of service (QoS) attributes. From this point, there are many approaches to web…

Technological developments in the Internet and communications have created a vastly complex and dynamic context with diverse heterogeneous networks and fast growth of mobile devices and multimedia. As the Internet becomes the primary mode of communication for many organisations there is requirement to enhance quality of service (QoS) from heterogeneous systems and networks. Traditional networks…

This article proposes a new MAC scheme for Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) communications that dynamically reallocates unused TDMA slots. By maintaining a balanced waiting time, the proposed TDMA based scheduling scheme allocates TDMA slots in a rational way to minimize merging and one-hop neighboring collision. The proposed scheme ensures dynamic reallocation of unused slots by using “time…

Given the strict Quality of Experience (QoE) and Quality of Service (QoS) criteria for video transmission, such as delivery ratio, transmission delay, and mean opinion Score (MOS), video streaming is one of the hardest challenges in Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks (VANETs). Additionally, VANET attributes, including environmental impediments, fluctuating vehicle density, and highly dynamic topology, have an…

Various applications have helped make vehicular Ad-hoc network communication a reality. Real-time applications, for example, need broadcasting in high video quality with minimal latency. The new High-Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) has shown great promise for real-time video transmission through Vehicle Ad-hoc Networks due to its high compression level. These networks, on the other hand, have…

Scientists succeeded in implementing conventional public switch telephone network (PSTN) into internet protocol by launching H.323 IP telephony. The irrelevant and unknown captions in H.323, computer scientists have replaced H.323 by Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) for Voice-over-IP (VoIP). However, the security of voice communication over IP is still a major concern. Besides, security and performance…

Quality of service is a significant part of formulating a composing of web services to satisfy the user’s request, especially when several services exist and have been implemented in the same field and functionality. The selection process of web services among many options can be taken based on the quality of service considerations, fitness parameters,…

In this study, we study on the downlink indoor coverage performance of unmanned air vehicle (UAV) base stations. We consider a probabilistic expression for air-to-ground (ATG) path loss, and a deterministic one for additional indoor losses in order to provide a practical model. One of our important assumptions is that the UAV base station operates…

The fifth-generation (5G) wireless system was implemented due to the massive connectivity, especially Internet of Things (IoT) including industrial automation, Vehicle to Everything (V2X) communications, which is shelter an extensive range of applications services and use cases and Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). A cellular Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA) based on radio resource allocation schemes need…

The Internet of Things (IoT) application has been experiencing increasingly progressive demand, especially for embedded devices (ED). However, the ED has limited capabilities, low power consumption resources, and low bandwidth in connecting to the Internet by using Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). Therefore, the WSNs form creates a necessity for new technologies and protocols for the…

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) include a large number of sensor nodes that are connected to each other with the limitations in energy sources, battery life, memory, mobility and computational capacity. Since the traditional layered architecture was appropriate only for the wired network. It works within a strict boundary that leads to more energy usage as…

We investigate in this paper many problems related to the decision-making process in the Cognitive Radio (CR), where a Secondary User (SU) tries to maximize its opportunities by finding the most vacant channel. Recently, Multi-Armed Bandit (MAB) problems attracted the attention to help a single SU, in the context of CR, makes an optimal decision…

In the smart power grid, designing an efficient and reliable communication architecture has an important role in improving efficiency, and maintaining the connectivity of different network components. The home area network (HAN) provides an energy management system in houses since it enables home energy control and monitoring. So, it is imperative to determine a HAN…

The 5G is the fifth generation of mobile broadband, cellular technologies, and networks that promises a major change in mobility by evolving connected business realities. In such an emerging environment, reliable Service Level Agreements (SLA) and anticipation of breaches of Service Level Objectives (SLO) become compulsory. Thus, guaranteeing the required service quality, while also ensuring…

The paper focused on the implementation of fuzzy logic technology for improved Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) network using selected Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). Empirical and analytical methods were principally deployed for the study analyses. Empirical analyses were conducted on two designated networks which are MTN and AIRTEL observed with high network traffic to…

With the introduction of new services and new more sophisticated mobile devices the radio network operators are faced with new challanges to increase the system performance.

Cloud Computing is considered nowadays an attractive solution to serve the Big Data storage, processing, and analytics needs. Given the high complexity of Big Data workflows and their contingent requirements, a single cloud provider might not be able alone to satisfy these needs. A multitude of cloud providers that offer myriad of cloud services and…

The increasing demand for advanced services in wireless networks raises the problem for quality of service (QoS) provisioning with proper resource management.
