Abstract
Supporting application QoS in wireless environment remains a challenging task due to the inherent constraints of wireless interfaces (resource scarcity, signal quality, etc.). While current standards offer relative QoS through service class differentiation, assured QoS is still a critical requirement for supporting multimedia and real-time applications. In consideration for fairness and bandwidth utilization, we propose a two-tier architecture wherein an overlay of sensor network acts as the control plane over existing 802.11 WLAN. Via simulations, we demonstrate the effectiveness of our architecture and its adaptability to application needs.
