Optimizing QoS for Multimedia Services in Next Generation Network Based on ACO Algorithm

In Next Generation Network (NGN), the backbone of the overall network architecture will be IP network, supporting different access network technologies and types of traffics. NGN will provide advanced services, such as Quality of Service (QoS) guarantees, to users and their applications. Factors affecting the QoS in NGN are speech encoders, delay, jitter, packet loss and echo. The negotiation and dynamic adaptation of QoS is currently considered to be one of the key features of the NGN concept. In this paper, I propose a novel Ant Colony Optimization algorithm to solve model of the optimal QoS for multimedia services in the NGN. Simulation results show that my new approach has achieved near optimal solutions. Comparison of experimental results with a recently researches shows that the proposed algorithm is better performance and it can meets the demand of the optimal QoS for multimedia services in NGN.
