Phase assignment algorithm based on traffic measurement for periodic VBR sources in ATM networks

This paper proposes a novel phase assignment algorithm "silent wave algorithm (SWA)" for periodic VBR traffic in ATM networks. Our algorithm decides when a new periodic VBR connection should begin to transmit based on its notification parameters and traffic measurement of going connections. Simulation results showed that it is difficult to accommodate pseudo periodic VBR traffic effectively without any phase allocation but the SWA can provide better QOS and improve the network utilization.
