Main activities (with references):
1. Measurement based admission control (MBAC)
The end-to-end admission control paradigm has been combined with
distributed resource management and admission control schemes. Non-
reactive UDP connections were targeted. In order to find a scalable and
feasible solution, mechanisms available in a DiffServ IP networks was
considered. The problem of resource estimation on a network node has been
solved by means of a traffic measurement function to be implemented at
each output interface of a node. It has been shown that any simple
measurement function largely outperforms RED/RIO mechanisms based on
output queue-length estimation. GRIP, an E2E admission control scheme
with distributed MBAC has been proposed for unicast and multicast
scenarios.
References: [7], [9], [22]
[MBAC nodes and GRIP scheme has been implemented with the partial
support of the European funded POLLENS project and the Italian funded
VICOM project]
2. Effects of admission control over self-similar traffic aggregate
When self-similarity arises in offered traffic, the research has shown the
superiority of MBAC algorithms over Parameter Based Admission Control
(PBAC) algorithms. In particular a pure MBAC approach significantly
reduces the self-similarity of the accepted traffic aggregate, thus yielding a
considerable performance improvement, in term of QoS experienced by
each flow sharing the media. Moreover the MBAC approach results in a
powerful tool, robust to traffic correlation properties and burstiness, and
able to overcome the PBAC scheme, despite of the traditional meaning of
MBAC role, commonly intended as a mere approximation for PBAC.

POLLENS project]
3. Streaming and Multimedia-on-demand in large broadcast systems
The research focuses on robustness issues related to the diffusion of ondemand and real-time data to mobile users. In particular, the VAN scenario
is adopted, and each vehicle is endowed with a proxy server that manages
multiple connections and, mostly important, it regulates the bandwidth
usage of each connection. The concurrency of Multimedia-on-demand
flows and streaming services carrying real time data has been addressed.
Results shows that proxy based networking is particularly suitable since it
allows to introduce an elastic buffer between the broadcast system and the
proxy-to-user delivering of data. The elastic buffering helps to avoid service
interruptions due to momentary lack of connectivity and to decouple the
download of data from the delivery to the final user’s application. This is
also convenient for real time streaming which becomes a delayed real time
streaming. Buffering also offer an additional degree of freedom to the
bandwidth manager located at the proxy site.

by the Italian funded VICOM project]
4. IP over DVB-RCS GEO satellite
The availability of a satellite return channel, offered by the DVB-RCS
standard, leads to new possibilities in the internetworking of terrestrial and
satellite segments. This push the research towards a full integration of the
IP protocol and satellite MAC protocols. This study focused on the
harmonization of IP traffic classes (e.g., classes defined by IntServ and
DiffServ architectures) and DVB-RCS traffic profiles (e.g., Profile Classes
and bandwidth allocation schemes available from the DVB-RCS standard).

5. Ethernet over Satellite LEO
This research deals with the possibility to introduce Ethernet-like
mechanisms over satellite networks, and in particular over LEO satellite
constellations. LAN and VLAN schemes has been proposed as for the
network management, thanks to the introduction of a LLC stratus over
legacy satellite MAC (in a IEEE 802 –like fashion). A fundamental point
in the research is represented by topology changes due to satellite nodes
mobility. This aspect has been addressed by explicitly considering the
satellite mobility, which is deterministic, and by applying multiple VLANs,
with at least one spanning tree, covering the satellite fleet, that stay active at
any instant. The study shows that the usage of proactively managed VLANs
results in a high degree of robustness in the network and improved
performance figures as for the continuity of the service, UDP and TCP
throughput, and very bounded flooding of frames.
References: [8], [17]
[Research supported by IST SATNEX European network of excellence]
6. Ethernet over Mesh Networks
The study extends the research related to Ethernet over Leo Satellite to the
case of generic Mesh Networks using a wireless access tier to provide user
connectivity. Even though the Mesh backhaul tier remains stable for hours,
large meshes require a heavy overhead in the network control plane as for
the management of end-to-end paths, which can change due to mobility of
users and due to occasional failure of wireless links. Dynamically-managed
VLANs offer redundancy enough to hide network changes, provided that a
continuous rearrangement of unused (redundant) VLANs is strictly
required. We call this approach CVS (Controlled VLANs Switching), since
network traffic should be run-time switched to different VLANs, depending
on the active network topology.

7. SIP signalling for multimedia on demand
This research is focusing on the SIP signalling over heterogeneous IP
network domains and technologies. The work is also finalized to the
software implementation of a SIP User Agent able to manage multimedia
channels with on-demand quality and negotiation, for interactive audio,
video and text applications in Next Generation Networks.

8. Performance analysis of Mesh Networks and Mesh deployment design
This study focuses on multiple challenging issues in the deployment of a
Wireless Mesh Network based on IEEE 802.11 and WDS technologies. In
particular the works includes the study of correlation between concurrent
wireless multihop flows (Starvation effect with both TCP and UDP
protocols), the analysis of wireless overhead effect on data traffic (Wireless
Overhead Multiplier effect), the analysis of wireless link’s heterogeneity
and its consequence on concurrent data flows (Heterogeneous Backhaul
Connectivity effect), the routing in WMN (AODV vs. static routing), the
design of Mesh Node location and the choice of antenna/frequency taking
into account the heterogeneous distribution of the user population. A
solution has been proposed and tested for the starvation effect, which relies
on a simple MAC-parameter tuning on Mesh Nodes directly connected to
the Mesh Gateway.
