Q2. What have the authors stated for future works in "E ective capacity: a wireless link model for support of quality of service" ?
Therefore, the authors believe that the EC link model, which was speci cally constructed keeping in mind this QoS metric, will nd wide applicability in future wireless networks that need QoS provisioning. In addition, their link model provides a general framework, under which physical-layer fading channels such as AWGN, Rayleigh fading, and Ricean fading channels can be studied. The authors show that the f ( c ) ( ) ; ( c ) ( ) g functions that specify their e ective capacity link model, can be easily used to obtain the service curve speci cation ( t ) = f ( c ) ; ( c ) s g.
Q3. What is the definition of small-scale fading?
Small-scale fading refers to the dramatic changes in signal amplitude and phase that can be experienced as a result of small changes (as small as a half-wavelength) in the spatial separation between a receiver and a transmitter.
Q4. How many samples of Rayleigh/Ricean were generated for each 1000-second run?
Since the channel sample rate is 1000 samples/sec, 1,000,000 samples of Rayleigh/Ricean at fading xn were generated for each 1000- second run, using a rst-order auto-regressive (AR) model.
Q5. What is the way to analyze the performance of the link layer?
With the multi-state Markov chain model, the performance of the link layer can be analyzed, but only at expense of enormous complexity.
Q6. What is the rst order of the packets?
Generated packets are rst sent to the (in nite) bu er at the transmitter, whose queue length is Qn, where n refers to the n th sample-interval.
Q7. What are the main features of the EC link model?
In summary, their EC link model has the following features: simplicity of implementation, eÆciency in admission control, and exibility in allocating bandwidth and delay for connections.
Q8. What is the service characterization for guaranteed service?
The service characterization for guaranteed service is a guarantee of a minimum service (i.e., bits communicated as a function of time) level, speci ed by a service curve (t) [7].
Q9. what is the probability of a connection being non-empty?
Q(t) : the length of a queue at time t. D(t) : the delay experienced by a packet arriving at time t. Dmax : the delay bound required by a connection. " : the target QoS violation probability for a connection. : the QoS exponent of a connection. : probability of the event that a queue is non-empty.
Q10. What is the probability of the source being nonempty?
For a given source rate , (c)( ) = PrfQ(t) 0g is again the probability that the bu er is nonempty at a randomly chosen time t, while the QoS exponent (c)( ) is de ned as ( ) = 1( ), where 1( ) is the inverse function of (c)(u).
Q11. What is the e ective capacity of a wireless channel?
Figure 4(b) shows that the e ective capacity (c)(u) decreases with increasing QoS exponent u; that is, as the QoS requirement becomes more stringent, the source rate that a wireless channel can support with this QoS guarantee, decreases.
Q12. Why does higher SNR result in smaller probability of a packet being fading?
This is because higher SNR results in larger channel capacity, which leads to smaller probability that a packet will be bu ered, i.e., smaller ̂( ).
Q13. Why is the probability of non-empty bu er larger than the outage probability?
The reason is that the probability of non-empty bu er takes into account the e ect of packet accumulation in the bu er, while the outage probability does not (i.e., an arrival packet will be immediately discarded if the SNR falls below a threshold).
Q14. What is the definition of a deterministic service curve?
recognizing that the time-varying wireless channel cannot deterministically guarantee a useful service curve, the authors propose to use a statistical service curve f (t); "g.As mentioned earlier, it is hard to extract a statistical service curve using the existing physicallayer channel models.
Q15. How do the authors plot the marginal CDF of the Rayleigh channel?
Solving (42) for SNRth, the authors obtainSNRth = (1 + SNRavg) rawgn 1 (43)Using (41) and (43), the authors plot the marginal CDF of the Rayleigh channel, as a function of source rate .
