  • Research and Implementation of SLA-Driven Distributed Service Management
  • CHEN Jing ,　LI Zeng-zhi,　ZHU Hai-ping,　YAN G Huai-zhou
  • Journal of Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications. 2004, 27(6): 11-15.
  • Abstract ( 221 )     HTML     　　
  • A mapping schema between Web service SLA(service level agreement)and metrics based on traditional management architecture is proposed, and a service management model with active agent is also presented. The mapping schema defines SLA with WSLA (Web service level agreement) language, designs various metricsand schedules based on common information model (CIM), and maps arbitrarily complex SLA parameters into resource metrics that can be easily understood and enforced by the service provider. Through the schedules of the service management model, a resource subagent retrieves metric values from managed resources autonomously and calculates SLA parameters without replying on triggers by an external client so that assured services or SLA can be monitored and management automatically and the overall system resource consumption is reduced significantly. The simulation results have shown that the model can improve the management capabilityof distributed service.

  • Reduction of Alarm Vibration in SNMP-Based Fault Management
  • ZHANG Gang-shan, LI Jian-dong, WU Yu-hong
  • Journal of Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications. 2004, 27(6): 31-35.
  • Abstract ( 274 )     HTML     　　
  • When congestion occurs in a managed network or a managed device is too busy, an NMS (network management system) may acquire an improper state of themanaged device, therefore results in alarm vibration in the NMS. By the analysisof the causation and statistic nature of alarm vibration, a voting algorithm based on probability model is proposed to reduce alarm vibration and improve the efficiency of management. The algorithm takes a vote on the results of continuousdetection of a managed device's state to determine whether or not an alarm vibration has arisen in the NMS and eliminates the vibration occurred during the time range specified by a threshold. The validity of the proposed algorithm has been proved in actual public access wireless local area network management system.

The traffic associatedwith mails is gathered into mail flows at the monitor points in local networks,which classified as invalid mail flows, normal mail flows and abnormal mail flows. Then according to the statistical characteristic of the three kinds of mailflows, ad spam, spam virus and abnormal mail behaviors are detected, and interception and alarms are performed by the policy-based responding mechanism.

Enhanced policy management components were defined that cover the radio access networks. Hierarchicalpolicy models with common open policy service(COPS) extensions were introduced to achieve adaptive configuration of network resources and QoS negotiation. A specificcase of this policy-based QoS framework was simulated. The performance resultsshow that the required quality of service of the session can be guaranteed. It also benifits the intelligent configuration and adaptive negotiation of the QoS parameters among networks, and eventually the end-to-end QoS can be well guarenteed in the entire networks.

  • An Enhancement to Freeze-TCP to Improve Its Performance
  • FAN Rui ,　CHENG Shi-duan
  • Journal of Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications. 2004, 27(6): 69-73.
  • Abstract ( 240 )     HTML     　　
  • A scheme called Freeze-TCP+ is presented to improve the performance of transmission control protocol (TCP) in mobile environment. Freeze-TCP+ is based on Freeze-TCP and incorporates network measurement mechanism. Data sender in Freeze-TCP+ would not send all the packets in the window immediately as it does in Freeze-TCP when handover occurs but set its slow start threshold to a measurement result and start to transmit packets from slow start phase. Freeze-TCP+ solve the problems that Freeze-TCP faces when handover occurs in heterogeneous networks, i.e., many packets are lost due to burst transmission or the resources in the new network can not be utilized efficiently. Network simulation shows that Freeze-TCP+ can improve the performance of Freeze-TCP whatever kinds of handover occur.

  • QIN Ya-juan, LIU Yuan-an
  • Journal of Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications. 2004, 27(6): 79-84.
  • Abstract ( 267 )     HTML     　　
  • Compared with the quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM), the differential amplitude and phase-shift keying (DAPSK) modulation is simpler, especially in demodulation. Therefore, the DAPSK method has recently found many applications in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. This paper evaluates the theoretical performance of the 16-, 32- and 64-level multilevel differential amplitude and phase-shift keying (MDAPSK) methods in OFDM systems interms of the bit-error-rate (BER). This paper presents detailed analysis ofthe BERs for the MDAPSK-OFDM signals in an additive white Gauss noise (AWGN) channel and obtains closed-form BER expressions. The theoretical results are verified by computer simulations. The computer simulation results reveal the advantages of using the 16DAPSK or 64DAPSK method in experimental OFDM systems.
