Article: Enhanced low latency queuing algorithm with active queue management for multimedia applications in wireless networks Journal: International Journal of High Performance Computing and Networking (IJHPCN) 2017 Vol.10 No.1/2 pp.23 - 33 Abstract: Low cost broadband services used widely in the recent years increased the demand for multimedia applications. Many of these applications require different quality of service (QoS) in terms of throughput and delay. In the current resource constrained wireless networks, resource management plays a vital role. In order to handle the resources effectively and to increase the QoS, proper packet scheduling algorithms need to be developed. Low latency queuing (LLQ) is a packet scheduling algorithm which combines strict priority queuing (SPQ) to class-based weighted fair queuing (CBWFQ). In this paper, an enhanced low latency queuing (ELLQ) algorithm is proposed in which an additional SPQ is introduced along with the existing SPQ. Further, the QoS is improved by integrating congestion avoidance algorithm with ELLQ. Simulation results using the OPNET modeller show that the proposed algorithm outperforms the existing algorithm in terms of throughput and delay for the multimedia applications.

Abstract: Low cost broadband services used widely in the recent years increased the demand for multimedia applications. Many of these applications require different quality of service (QoS) in terms of throughput and delay. In the current resource constrained wireless networks, resource management plays a vital role. In order to handle the resources effectively and to increase the QoS, proper packet scheduling algorithms need to be developed. Low latency queuing (LLQ) is a packet scheduling algorithm which combines strict priority queuing (SPQ) to class-based weighted fair queuing (CBWFQ). In this paper, an enhanced low latency queuing (ELLQ) algorithm is proposed in which an additional SPQ is introduced along with the existing SPQ. Further, the QoS is improved by integrating congestion avoidance algorithm with ELLQ. Simulation results using the OPNET modeller show that the proposed algorithm outperforms the existing algorithm in terms of throughput and delay for the multimedia applications.
