Title Effective Delay Control for High Rate Aggregate of Multimedia Flows with Extended Network Calculus
Chinese Title 多媒體高速流遲延控制的網絡運算
Principal Investigator Prof. Weijia JIA (CS)
Synopsis

This research aims to design and analyze a generalized regulator (s, r, l) with network calculus (NC) to effectively regulate and calculate the tight delay bound for high rate aggregate real-time traffic flows in the Internet. To minimize the worst-case delay bound, extended network calculus (ENC) is a generalization of network calculus based on a traditional well-known (s, r)-regulator. The new control algorithm operates like the traditional regulator under the normal loading situation, but provides more regulation for a heavy load of aggregate multimedia flows. With their new regulator, the researchers will be able to provide more effective regulation and tight delay bound for heavy real-time flows than with the traditional regulator. More specifically, for a set of aggregated flows R, they aim to achieve Dr(R)£D(R) where Dr(R) and D(R) are the worst-case delay bounds derived based on their control algorithm and ENC and on the (s, r)-regulator and NC, respectively. They intend to prove that an optimal (i.e., minimum) flow traffic rate threshold (lower bound) r* exists such that Dr(R)= D(R) for r £ r* and Dr(R)<D(R) for r > r*. Such a lower bound is important for industrial applications.
