An Efficient Integrated Bandwidth Allocation Scheme for DOCSIS Networks

Article Preview

Abstract:

An efficient Integrated Bandwidth Allocation Scheme (IBAS) is proposed to serve the lower priority requests can be early assigned the bandwidth without waiting too long. These will speed up the channel capture by priority data to support the multimedia traffic over DOCSIS-compliant cable networks. The efficiency of IBAS is investigated by simulations. The results show that by adopting IBAS can not only shorten the collision period but also minimize the average request delay of lower priority requests. Performance has been improved in throughput and delay compares to the current DOCSIS specifications.
