Project Abstracts Return to QoS Routing for VoIP Projects

Optimal Sampling with Best Sampling Accuracy at the Minimum Cost
 

Student: Hong Li, Ph.D. student
Supervisor: Prof. Lorne Mason

Abstract: Active monitoring of the network performance (especially end-to-end delays) is essential to provide quality of service for VoIP in a service overlay network, since the network layer performance measurement is not accessible to the overlay nodes. In order to sample the network delay sufficiently and efficiently for delay analysis, we formulated a bi-objective optimization problem with the goal of finding the optimal sampling frequency that provides the maximal signal reconstruction accuracy at the minimal sampling cost. We derive the optimal sampling frequency as a proportional fair and Pareto optimal solution to the bi-objective optimization problem.
