The improved ERICA algorithm for ABR flow congestion control is presented based on available bandwidth prediction using the BP neural networks in ATM networks. The switch periodically calculates the available bandwidth, monitors the load of network and updates the ER value according to the PERICA al...

Streaming video is becoming increasingly popular among Internet multimedia applications. A robust coding scheme for DCT-based scalable video streaming over the Internet is proposed in this paper. Compared with conventional MPEG4-PGS (fine granular scalable) and progressive FGS(PFGS), the proposed me...

Constraint-based multicast routing, which aims at identifying a path that satisfies a set of quality of service (QoS) constraints, has became a very important research issue in the areas of networks and distributed systems. In general, multi-constrained path selection with or without optimization is...

Estimation of density and hazard rate is very important to the reliability analysis of a system. In order to estimate the density and hazard rate of a hazard rate monotonously decreasing system, a new nonparametric estimator is put forward. The estimator is based on the kernel function method and op...

The architecture and protocols of Internet can't work well in space environments. To form a reliable and safe space network, characteristics of space communication network one discusse, brief synthesis is performed for consultative committee for space data system (CCSDS) space communications protoco...
