Abstract:
This paper shows a technique for regulating the rate emitted by UWB mobile terminals. This technique is designed to adapt the emission rate to the effects of channel capacity variations. We assume that individual flows are shaped at edge routers by means of dual leaky buckets. The proposal is based on the evaluation of certain parameters, which reflect the channel status, sent to the application layer. This information is generated by the scheduler designed to guarantee appropriate channel sharing for the various traffic components. We describe some results which highlight how performance depends on the specific operating conditions, as well as on the traffic descriptors of the flows, their reciprocal difference, and performance requirements.
