Abstract
Future generation wireless personalcommunication networks (PCN) are expected to providemultimedia capable wireless extensions of fixedATM/B-ISDN. This paper presents a scheduling techniquefor PCN based on TDMA and the leaky bucket regulator, thewell known bandwidth enforcement mechanism for fixedATM. The main objective of the proposed technique is toensure fair and efficient treatment of various types oftraffic on the air interface, includingconstant-bit-rate (CBR) voice and variable-bit-rate(VBR) video. Two alternative priority mechanisms areintroduced and their performance is evaluated. Theperformance comparison of the alternatives reveals aninteresting tradeoff between fairness and quality ofservice (QoS).
