Easy Wireless & MAGELLAN, VTT, Finland, Introduction, talk rationale u Much work in IP and access technologies QoS (IETF, IEEE, 3GPP) u Do these solutions fit in 4G networks? u We will try to address this question in this talk using Daidalos project as a case study u Problem: integrate QoS with other 4G aspects (e.g. AAA, mobility, …). This is far from being resolved:  Some mechanisms from different aspects may pose several burdens to others  Some functionalities from different aspects may overlap

Easy Wireless & MAGELLAN, VTT, Finland, Introduction, existing QoS solutions for IP and access networks u IETF IP QoS Solutions  IntServ: reservation for each flow all allong the e2e path, use of RSVP  DiffServ: per aggregate handling in the core, access control in the edges (may be per flow)  COPS, NSIS u IEEE: e WLAN (HCCA and EDCA); WiMax (scheduling services), Blue Tooth (selection of bearer -ACL, SCO, ASB, …- and its parameters) u 3GPP: Classes (Streaming, conversational, …)

Easy Wireless & MAGELLAN, VTT, Finland, Introduction, basis of 4G networks u 4G Concept: u They are a pure IP(v6) network, not a 3G network with an IP overlay (in 3G the whole 3G network is an IP single hop) u 2G and 3G functionalities provided by Internet mechanisms: e.g. User control and tarification=>IRTF AAA ARCH, DIAMETER. Mobility=> MIP and FHO-MIP, etc. u Multiple access technologies directly integrated into the IPv6 core

Easy Wireless & MAGELLAN, VTT, Finland, QoS Architecture and Provision in Daidalos

Easy Wireless & MAGELLAN, VTT, Finland, QoS Provision: Segmentation and hierarchy u Goal (classical) e2e QoS with no scalability concerns u QoSBs get measures from Central Monitor and “reservation status” from other QoSBs u ANQoSBs maintain status from all the flows in their AN and of aggregates to other domains u ANQoSBs configure (flow level) the routers in their AN. If needed, they can ask the CNQoSB to reconfigure aggregates in the core. u CNQoSB can also, by itself, based on measures, reconfigure aggregates in its domain

Easy Wireless & MAGELLAN, VTT, Finland, AN Internet Access Technology (AT) AN QoSB Resource reservation (per flow) Access Technolog y In this process CNQoSB is normally not contacted and CN routers not reconfigured (DiffServ PHB for aggregates) ANQoSB configures AN routers in a DiffServ and InterServ way: i.e. per flow or per aggregate PHB + shapers and policers Trigger (see session setup)

Packet’s Flow Label must have connection identifier returned by the QoSAL Abstraction Layer (AL) hides the particularities of the technologies

Easy Wireless & MAGELLAN, VTT, Finland, Other aspects u Concatenation of Different Access Technologies u Integration of MANETS. Based on SWAN with BW probing and renegotiation u Integration in QoSBroker allows forcing MNs to do a FHO to other ARs or APs to assure the QoS

Easy Wireless & MAGELLAN, VTT, Finland, Interdomain QoS u Static DiffServ not enough u SLA between neighbouring domains, specifying traffic limits to each other neighbouring domain (per class i.e. aggregate): ingress point, egress point, service class. Service class is well known (universal) u BGP extension propagates QoS information between domains. u CN QoS Brokers speak iBGP to receive QoS routing information u CN QoS Brokers may reconfigure their core to assure SLSs u QoS info propagated to AN QoS Brokers

Easy Wireless & MAGELLAN, VTT, Finland, Multicast + Broadcast techs. support u Multicast: routers listen to PIN JOIN and outsource decision to ANQoSB u ANQoSBs also know “rendez-vous” points u Multi domain multicast under study u Interaction with Content Adaptation Nodes under study u Broadcast: IP over IP tunnel in AR employed to build the return channel in DVB=> creates a virtual interface u Multi homing under study

Easy Wireless & MAGELLAN, VTT, Finland, Conclusions u Daidalos used IETF and IEEE QoS provision mechanisms u BUT many enhancements where needed: u we needed to design an interaction between them u A tradeoff between e2e deterministic and probabilistic QoS needed to be designed u QoS system had to be integrated with other systems (FHO, AAA)
