WNP-MPR-qos 3  Review of QoS basic concepts  QoS in wireless networks » 3GPP-QoS » IEEE-wireless-QoS

WNP-MPR-qos 4 Quality of Service  From a user’s point of view » level of satisfaction experienced by the user of an application whose traffic is delivered through a network. Depends on – User’s subjective evaluation and expectations – Terminal capabilities – Performance of networks  From a network point of view » ability of providing differentiated treatment to traffic flows or traffic classes » provide them with different levels of delivery guarantees – bandwidth, delay, loss » network behaviour characterizable by a set of performance parameters

WNP-MPR-qos 5 QoS principles  The provisioning of QoS requires » cooperation of various communications layers » cooperation of network elements in the end-to-end chain  QoS requirements of users/applications must be mapped into values of network service attributes  Attributes of a network service » may be described by a set of performance (QoS) parameters » which must be observable, measurable and controllable  Networks and users must negotiate contracts, which are described by means of offered traffic and QoS parameters

WNP-MPR-qos 6 QoS QoS is an end-to-end problem, handled at several communication layers Application control (e.g. SIP) Application Application node Application node Application Application App. node-backbone control plane interface app. control app. control Transport Inter-domain interface IP layer IP layer IP control plane IP control plane Control Control IP user plane IP user plane Network IP IP IP IP Quality of Service Multicast Mobility Security IP Backbone Data link App. node-backbone user plane (IP) interface Physical

WNP-MPR-qos 7 QoS building blocks in a packet network • network Data plane (traffic flows/packets) – Shaping, Policing – Classification & Marking – Queuing and Scheduling (service discipline) – Congestion control and Queue management • Control plane – QoS mapping – Admission control – QoS routing – Resource reservation/allocation • Management plane – Resource provisioning – Policy management Traffic source/ packet switch feed-back based, end-to-end (TCO, RTP+RTCP) (router, switch) previous network element inter-network element

WNP-MPR-qos 8 IP QoS Models  2 service models » IntServ - oriented towards the support of QoS per flow » DiffServ - oriented towards the provisioning of QoS to traffic classes  Differentiated Services  Integrated Services (IntServ) model (DiffServ) model » Resource ReSerVation Protocol » DS field (RSVP) » Per-Hop Behaviours (PHB) » FlowSpec » Assured Forwarding (AF) » Controlled load » Expedited Forwarding (EF) » Guaranteed service (maximum delay) » Bandwidth broker

WNP-MPR-qos 9 IntServ - RSVP Resource ReSerVation Protocol (RSVP)

WNP-MPR-qos 10 IntServ – Tspec, FlowSpec  The FlowSpec - information that characterizes » the traffic to submit to the network (TSpec) » the service requested from the network (RSpec)  TSpec includes the following parameters » p – peak rate » r – mean rate » b – bucket size » M – maximum datagram size » m – minimum policed unit  RSpec is specified only for the Guaranteed service and includes » R – service rate (must be > r) » S – delay slack (acceptable delay in addition to the delay obtained with R

WNP-MPR-qos 11 IntServ – QoS Services  Guaranteed Service » hard guarantees provided to real-time applications – Guaranteed bandwidth – Bound on end-to-end delay – No losses of conforming packets on the routers » Resources reserved per flow, based on a Flowspec (TSpec and RSpec)  Controlled-Load Service » emulates the service provided by a moderately loaded best-effort network » only qualitative guarantees – Very high percentage of transmitted packets are successfully delivered – Delay of the majority of the packets will not greatly exceed the minimum delay of a packet » The sender does not specify RSpec

WNP-MPR-qos 12 DiffServ – DSCP field 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+ | DSCP | CU | +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+ DSCP: differentiated services codepoint CU: currently unused

WNP-MPR-qos 13 Diff Serv – PHB, AF, EF  Per-Hop Behaviours (PHB) » Packets marked with the same DSCP, receive similar treatment  3 PHBs defined » Best effort » Assured Forwarding (AF) – Service provides qualitative guarantees, based on priorities – Service characterized by a high probability of packet delivery – may be used to implement the Olympic service (gold, silver, and bronze classes) » Expedited Forwarding (EF) – aimed at building services characterized by low packet loss ratio, low latency and low jitter

WNP-MPR-qos 19 UMTS QoS Classes Traffic class Conversational class Streaming class Interactive class Background Fundamental Preserve time relation Preserve time Request-response Destination is characteristics (variation) between relation (variation) pattern not expecting information entities of between the data within a the stream information entities certain time Preserve payload of the stream content Conversational pattern Preserve (stringent and low payload content delay) Example of the voice streaming video Web browsing Background application download of emails

WNP-MPR-qos 20 UMTS Bearer Service Attributes – Examples  Traffic class ('conversational', 'streaming', 'interactive', 'background')  Maximum bitrate (kbit/s) » compliance enforced by token-bucket (Maximum-bitrate , Maximum-SDU-size) » used to reserve codes in WCDMA radio interface - downlink  Guaranteed bitrate (kbit/s) » traffic compliance enforced by token-bucket (Guaranteed-bitrate , Maximum-SDU-size) » Delay/ reliability attributes guaranteed only for traffic up to the Guaranteed bitrate » Used for admission control and resource allocation  Maximum SDU size (octets)  SDU error ratio » fraction of SDUs lost or detected as erroneous  Residual bit error ratio » Undetected bit error ratio in the delivered SDUs  Transfer delay (ms) » 95th percentile of the statistical delay distribution
