A New Dynamic Bandwidth Provisioning Approach

M. Rajaei, S. Noferesti

Abstract


In this paper we propose dynamic bandwidth provisioning method in differentiated services based on learning automata. The main goal of this method is to offer services that satisfy the Quality of services (QoS) requirements while guaranteeing at the same time an efficient utilization of network resources. In proposed method, the amount of bandwidth to provision for each per hop behavior adjusts at regular intervals based on environment feedback. We develop an efficient bandwidth allocation algorithm that takes the explicitly into account traffic statistics to increase the user's benefit and the network revenue. We demonstrate through simulations that the proposed dynamic provisioning model is superior to static provisioning in providing QoS and network revenue.

Disclaimer/Regarding indexing issue:

We have provided the online access of all issues and papers to the indexing agencies (as given on journal web site). It’s depend on indexing agencies when, how and what manner they can index or not. Hence, we like to inform that on the basis of earlier indexing, we can’t predict the today or future indexing policy of third party (i.e. indexing agencies) as they have right to discontinue any journal at any time without prior information to the journal. So, please neither sends any question nor expects any answer from us on the behalf of third party i.e. indexing agencies.Hence, we will not issue any certificate or letter for indexing issue. Our role is just to provide the online access to them. So we do properly this and one can visit indexing agencies website to get the authentic information. Also: DOI is paid service which provided by a third party. We never mentioned that we go for this for our any journal. However, journal have no objection if author go directly for this paid DOI service.
