The wireless body area network (WBAN) has been proposed to offer a solution to the problem of population ageing, shortage in medical facilities and different chronic diseases. The development of this technology has been further fueled by the demand for real-time application for monitoring these cases in networks. The integrity of communication is constrained by the loss of packets during communication affecting the reliability of WBAN. Mitigating the loss of packets and ensuring the performance of the network is a challenging task that has sparked numerous studies over the years. The WBAN technology as a problem of reducing network lifetime; thus, in this paper, we utilize cooperative routing protocol (CRP) to improve package delivery via end-to-end latency and increase the length of the network lifetime. The end-to-end latency was used as a metric to determine the significance of CRP in WBAN routing protocols. The CRP increased the rate of transmission of packets to the sink and mitigate packet loss. The proposed solution has shown that the end-to-end delay in the WBAN is considerably reduced by applying the cooperative routing protocol. The CRP technique attained a delivery ratio of 0.8176 compared to 0.8118 when transmitting packets in WBAN.

Nowadays supporting quality of service (QOS) for real time application is the main challenge of the wireless area network. 802.11standards use distributed Coordination Function (DCF) protocol and Enhanced Distributed Channel Access (EDCA) protocol in the MAC layer. DCF protocol has only one queue for different data types, it deals with data depending on the arriving time. There is no priority to serve real time applications faster. However EDCA protocol has four queues and each queue works with specific data type. Voice, video, best effort and background are the different queues in the EDCA protocol. Different parameters and priorities are defined for each queue. The voice queue reserves the highest priority and serves its data first. In this paper QOS parameters are measured for both DCF and EDCA protocol by using OPNET simulation. The QOS parameters must reach the requirements to support QOS. The results show how QOS parameters do not reach the requirements when using DCF protocol. The values of the end to end delay and the packet loss percentage are 0.514second, 19.04% respectively. But, when using EDCA protocol the end to end delay becomes 0.0624 second and the percentage of the packet loss decreases until reach 0.00617%. So the QOS parameters achieve requirements with EDCA protocol and support QOS.

A vehicular ad hoc network (VANET) is a technology in which moving cars are used as routers (nodes) to establish a reliable mobile communication network among the vehicles. Some of the drawbacks of the routing protocol, Ad hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (AODV), associated with VANETs are the end-to-end delay and packet loss. We modified the AODV routing protocols to reduce the number of route request (RREQ) and route reply (RREP) messages by adding direction parameters and two-step filtering. The two-step filtering process reduces the number of RREQ and RREP packets, reduces the packet overhead, and helps to select the stable route. In this study, we show the impact of the direction parameter in reducing the end-to-end delay and the packet loss in AODV. The simulation results show a 1.4% reduction in packet loss, an 11% reduction in the end-to-end delay, and an increase in throughput.

In heterogeneous wireless networks, service providers typically employ multiple radio access technologies to satisfy the requirements of quality of service (QoS) and improve the system performance. However, many challenges remain when using modern cellular mobile communications radio access technologies (e.g., wireless local area network, long-term evolution, and fifth generation), such as inefficient allocation and management of wireless network resources in heterogeneous wireless networks (HWNs). This problem is caused by the sharing of available resources by several users, random distribution of wireless channels, scarcity of wireless spectral resources, and dynamic behavior of generated traffic. Previously, resource allocation schemes have been proposed for HWNs. However, these schemes focus on resource allocation and management, whereas traffic class is not considered. Hence, these existing schemes significantly increase the end-to-end delay and packet loss, resulting in poor user QoS and network throughput in HWNs. Therefore, this study attempts to solve the identified problem by designing an enhanced resource allocation (ERA) algorithm to address the inefficient allocation of available resources vs. QoS challenges. Computer simulation was performed to evaluate the performance of the proposed ERA algorithm by comparing it with a joint power bandwidth allocation algorithm and a dynamic bandwidth allocation algorithm. On average, the proposed ERA algorithm demonstrates a 98.2% bandwidth allocation, 0.75 s end-to-end delay, 1.1% packet loss, and 98.9% improved throughput performance at a time interval of 100 s.

Multimedia applications impose different QoS requirements (e.g., bounded end-to-end delay and jitter) and need an enhanced transport layer protocol that should handle packet loss, minimize errors, manage network congestion, and transmit efficiently. Across an IP network, the transport layer protocol provides data transmission and affects the QoS provided to the application on hand. The most common transport layer protocols used by Internet applications are TCP and UDP. There are also advanced transport layer protocols such as DCCP and TFRC. The authors evaluated the performance of UDP, DCCP, SCTP, and TFRC over wired networks for three traffic flows: data transmission, video streaming, and voice over IP. The evaluation criteria were throughput, end-to-end delay, and packet loss ratio. They compared their performance to learn in which traffic flow/service each of these protocols functions better than the others. The throughput of SCTP and TFRC is better than UDP. DCCP is superior to SCTP and TFRC in terms of end-to-end delay. SCTP is suitable for Internet applications that require high bandwidth.

Clustering is vital for lengthening the lives of resource-constrained wireless sensor nodes. In this work, we propose a cluster-based energy-efficient router placement scheme for wireless sensor networks, where the K-means algorithm is used to select the initial cluster headers and then a cluster header with sufficient battery energy is selected within each cluster. The performance of the proposed scheme was evaluated in terms of the energy consumption, end-to-end delay, and packet loss. Our simulation results using the OPNET simulator revealed that the energy consumption of our proposed scheme was better than that of the low-energy adaptive clustering hierarchy, which is known to be an energy-efficient clustering mechanism. Furthermore, our scheme outperformed low-energy adaptive clustering hierarchy in terms of the end-to-end delay, throughput, and packet loss rate.

Vehicular Ad hoc Network (VANET) merupakan konsep subset dari Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANET) sebagai teknologi yang memungkinkan komunikasi Inter Vehicle Communication (IVC) dan Roadside-toVehicle (RVC).VANET dikarakteristikkan dengan membangun jaringan ad hoc yang dibentuk dari nodenode berupa kendaraan bermobilitas tinggi yang dibatasi dengan aturan lalu lintas sehingga pergerakannya disesuaikan dengan pola tertentu, tidak seperti MANET yang pergerakannya bisa random tanpa ada batasan. Dengan demikian, protokol routing konvensional berbasis topologi pada MANET dinilai tidak cocok untuk VANET. Protokol routing berbasis posisi sepeti GPSR dan GyTAR dinilai cocok untuk VANET. Hal ini tak lain karena aspek dinamika topologi pada VANET yang dapat berdampak nyata pada analisis protokol routing. Dari hasil simulasi diperoleh bahwa GyTAR unggul pada skenario lingkungan perkotaan dilihat dari seluruh parameter end-to-end delay, packet delivery ratio, packet loss dan normalized routing overhead yang lebih baik dari GPSR dengan rata-rata nilai masing-masing, yakni 2,294 ms, 0,958, 4,19%, dan 0,482. Sementara pada skenario lingkungan jalan tol GPSR lebih unggul dibandingkan GyTAR dengan rata-rata nilai end-to-end delay, packet delivery ratio, dan packet loss sebesar 2,639 ms, 0,920, dan 7,923%; namun dengan perolehan NRO yang lebih kecil oleh GyTAR, yakni sebesar 1,725.Kata Kunci: VANET, MANET , GPSR, GyTAR, IVC, SUMO

Next Generation Network (NGN) merupakan salah satu teknologi masa depan yang memberikan layanan berupa voice, data, multimedia, dan internet yang mengacu pada konvergensi layanan berbasis IP. Sebuah teknologi yang mendukung konsep konvergensi berbasis IP adalah IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS). UMTS merupakan salah satu teknologi bergerak seluler generasi ke tiga (3G) yang sebagian besar masyarakat gunakan karena rata-rata masyarakat sudah menggunakan gadget yang mendukung jaringan 3G. Dengan menggunakan jaringan 3G, masyarakat dapat melakukan komunikasi video conference. Video conference merupakan salah satu komunikasi jarak jauh yang bersifat real time sebagai pengganti tatap muka. Namun, layanan video conference pada jaringan IMS – UMTS perlu diketahui kelayakannya. Video conference merupakan layanan yang sensitif terhadap delay sehingga perlu dilakukan analisis QoS. Pada penelitian ini dilakukan simulasi dan analisis QoS video conference pada jaringan IMS – UMTS. Simulasi ini akan dibuat dengan menggunakan software OPNET modeler 14.5. Skenario yang digunakan adalah skenario Integrated Service (IntServ) untuk mengamati jaringan IMS dan Differentiated Service (DiffServ) untuk mengamati hubungan antara IMS dengan UMTS. Penelitian ini menggunakan jumlah user yang berbeda-beda yaitu 4 user, 8 user, dan 12 user dengan waktu simulasi berbeda juga, yaitu 100 second, 200 second, dan 300 second. Dari hasil penelitian yang didapat, pada skenario Intserv dihasilkan nilai rata-rata terbesar untuk throughput adalah 26.643 Mbit/s, end-to-end delay sebesar 233.069 ms, dan jitter  sebesar 0.073 ms. Untuk skenario Diffserv dihasilkan nilai rata-rata terbesar untuk throughput adalah 8.484 Mbit/s, end-to-end delay sebesar 164.138 ms, dan jitter sebesar 0.488 ms. Untuk nilai packet loss ke dua skenario menghasilkan nilai kurang dari 1%. Jika dilihat dari standar ITU-T G-114, rata-rata nilai parameter pada ke dua skenario termasuk dalam kategori baik.
