Abstract
The rapid development of wireless in-building communication systems, has widened the scope of supported applications. Remote terminals may be capable of producing broadband real-time traffic such as variable bit-rate (VBR) video or bursty data transfers. Consequently one of the important issues in indoor broadband wireless networks (IBWN) is employment of an efficient bandwidth management protocol. In such a protocol, both the effects of radio channel behavior and the traffic heterogeneity have to be considered. In this paper we present a bandwidth allocation scheme based on the interplay of the radio channel characteristics and the traffic parameters and requirements. In the proposed scheme the base station visits the terminals in a non-uniform cyclic fashion. The inter-visit interval and the amount of service which is provided to each user during a visit, is determined using the channel and traffic parameters based on an analytical approach. This system is evaluated by simulations and is found to provide improved performance in fulfilling the requirements of multimedia services in IBWN.
