Multimedia Broadcast/Multicast Service (MBMS) and High-Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) are two key technologies that constitute a significant step towards the Mobile Broadband. MBMS was introduced by the third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) in order to support broadcast and multicast communication over wireless networks and in particular over Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS). Concurrently, HSDPA aims to ensure the transmission of high peak data rates and increase system capacity. In this paper we evaluate the performance of MBMS multicast transmission over the premier transport channel used in HSDPA, named High Speed-Downlink Shared Channel (HS-DSCH). Due to the fact that downlink transmission power is the scarcest resource in UMTS networks, the evaluation is performed through an analytical dimensioning of the MBMS downlink transmission power. Furthermore, the impacts of power allocation on MBMS capacity are investigated.

The demand for wireless multimedia communications thrives in todaypsilas consumer and corporate market. The need to evolve multimedia applications and services is at a critical point given the proliferation and integration of wireless systems. multimedia broadcast multicast services (MBMS) was introduced in third generation partnership project (3GPP) Release 6 in order to more efficiently use network and radio resources for the transmission of multimedia data, both in the core network and most importantly in the air interface of UTRAN (UMTS terrestrial radio access network). However, several obstacles, regarding the high power requirements, should be overcome for the realization of MBMS. The fact that Node Bpsilas transmission power is a limited resource and must be shared among all MBMS users in a cell indicates the need for power control during MBMS transmissions. Several techniques, such as dynamic power setting and macro diversity combining, have been proposed in order to reduce the power requirements of delivering multicast traffic to MBMS users. This paper examines the efficiency of the utilization of these power saving techniques, by presenting simulation results that will reveal the amount of power that is saved.

In this paper, we propose a new scheme for on demand reservation of capacity in OBS networks, emulating one-way signaling protocols. The proposed framework relies on the combination of a two-way reservation protocol and a burst assembly scheme with a burstification delay enforced to be the round-trip-time and which incorporates a Least Mean Square filter to predict burst length. Upon the arrival of the first packet in the burst queue, a control packet (setup message) is generated and transmitted to reserve resources, based on the prediction filter. In this way the reservation process starts/ends simultaneously with the burst assembly process. In this paper, we present the main features of the proposed scheme, evaluate its performance for both homogeneous and non-homogeneous traffic and we further propose an extension with aggressive over-provisioning of resources that can guarantee lossless operation even for extremely cases of bursty traffic.

This paper addresses the problem of burst assembly in OBS-GRID networks and particularly the TCP throughput maximization problem for large file sizes. For that purpose, a novel adaptive size-based approach is proposed, following some probabilistic methods and considering the effect of the burstification process in the overall transport system. The scheme has been evaluated in a high capacity GRID network. It was found that the proposed scheme results in shorter file transfer times, a significant higher TCP throughout, thus yielding a positive impact at the grid mechanics. The performance of the scheme is compared to that of a timer-based algorithm.
