ABSTRACT
IEEE 802.11e proposed by IEEE 802.11 working group to guarantee QoS has contention based EDCA and contention free based HCCA. HCCA, a centralized polling based mechanism of 802.11e, needs a scheduling algorithm to allocate the network resource efficiently. The reference scheduler, however, is inefficient in guaranteeing QoS for real-time services with VBR traffic. To efficiently assign resource for VBR traffic, we propose a novel scheduling algorithm with dual leaky bucket. A bucket is used to control average data rate and maximum burst size, and another is used to control the jitter of a flow. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm has superior performance to the reference scheduler in terms of delay and packet loss ratio.
