E-Business and Telecommunications

With the development of new multimedia applications, telecommunication networks should be developed to offer real QoS. Different protocols such as MPLS, IntServ and DiffServ introduce new mechanisms which can be used to offer QoS in high speed Next Generation Networks (NGN). This paper is focused essentially on QoS and QoE mechanisms in wired and wireless networks through the presentation of communication architectures and protocols.
