Cross-layer QoS mechanism for heterogeneous wireless networks
Article No.: 84, Pages 1 - 5
Abstract
It is important to provide Quality of Services (QoS) in the heterogeneous wireless network environment. Cross-Layer Design could enhance the performance of the applications and achieve better QoS support. This study presents a QoS Master including QoS Daemon, QoS Agent, and System Control Model to guarantee QoS of multimedia applications in heterogeneous wireless networks. We also proposed a Cross-Layer QoS algorithm to monitor and adjust bandwidth periodically. Simulation results indicate that the average jitter, latency and packet loss are reduced respectively.

Cross-Layer Design for QoS in Wireless Mesh Networks
Cross-layer design for quality of service (QoS) in wireless mesh networks (WMNs) has attracted much research interest recently. Such networks are expected to support various types of applications with different and multiple QoS and grade-of-service (GoS)...
Cross-Layer Most-Emergent-First Scheduler for Wireless Local Area Networks
IIH-MSP '12: Proceedings of the 2012 Eighth International Conference on Intelligent Information Hiding and Multimedia Signal ProcessingWe propose the Most-Emergent-First (MEF) scheduler which regard the emergency score obtained from the delay status and traffic specification (TSPEC) to determine transmit sequence of flows. Via cross-layer signaling, transmission opportunities (TXOPs) ...
Interference-aware routing and bandwidth allocation for QoS provisioning in multihop wireless networks: Research Articles
RRM for Next-Generation Wireless and Mobile Communication SystemsIn this paper, we study the bandwidth guaranteed routing and timeslot allocation (BANDRA) in TDMA-based multihop wireless networks with dynamic traffic. We formally model BANDRA as an optimization problem and present an integer linear programming (ILP) ...
