Enhancing enhanced distributed channel access function based on cross-layer information for multirate wireless networks

IEEE 802.lie provides guaranteed quality of service (QoS) by proving different transmission priorities. IEEE 802. lie improves the media access control layer of IEEE 802.11 to satisfy the different QoS requirements by introducing two new channel access functions: the enhanced distributed channel access (EDCA) and the hybrid coordination function-controlled channel access. The available bandwidth and transmission rate may be easily affected by the signal quality, because the communication channel in a wireless environment operates in a random time-variation manner. Generally, a station using a low transmission rate will occupy the communication channel for a long time and degrade system performance, which causes bandwidth waste and unfairness; thus the guaranteed QoS for stations with higher transmission rates cannot be provided. An enhancing EDCAF (E DCAF) is proposed that consolidates the cross-layer concept and the IEEE 802.1 le EDCAF protocol. After simulation experiments, E DCAF obviously improves performance, especially in throughput and fairness. E DCAF scheduling also allows the different QoS requirements to be processed efficiently and flexibly.     

Fair scheduling with rate control for IEEE 802.16 broadband wireless networks

Although the scheduling problem of the uplink transmission in the IEEE 802.16 broadband wireless access network is extensively discussed, most of the results are limited to the quality of service (QoS) upon throughput and delay requirement. But as in practice only limited wireless resources are made available, a fairness-based scheduling upon each connection?s QoS provides better outcomes. In this study, the authors propose a new fair uplink scheduling for real-time polling service and non-real-time polling service with the proportional sharing of excess bandwidth of the network. To implement the proposed fair scheduling that satisfies the delay requirement and full bandwidth utilisation, the authors introduce the rate control algorithm. With the proposed scheduling, we guarantee the fairness, delay requirement and full bandwidth utilisation which are not fully achieved in the existing results.     

A cross-layer adaptive algorithm for multimedia QoS fairness in WLAN environments using neural networks

The authors address the problem of providing fair multimedia quality-of-service (QoS) in IEEE 802.11 distributed co-ordination function-based wireless local area networks in the infrastructure mode where mobile hosts experience heterogeneous channel conditions due to mobility and fading effects. It was observed that unequal link qualities can pose significant unfairness of channel sharing, which may thereby lead to the degradation of multimedia QoS performed in adverse conditions. A cross-layer adaptation scheme that provides fair QoS by online adjusting the multidimensional medium access control layer backoff parameters in accordance with the application-layer QoS requirements as well as the physical-layer channel conditions was proposed. The solution is based on an optimisation approach, which utilises neural networks to learn the cross-layer function. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed adaptation scheme can tackle heterogeneous channel conditions and random joining (or leaving) of hosts to achieve fair QoS in terms of throughput and packet delay.     

Effective transmission opportunity allocation scheme for real-time variable bit rate traffic flows with different delay bounds

The medium access control of IEEE 802.11e defines a novel coordination function, namely, hybrid coordination function (HCF), which allocates transmission opportunity (TXOP) to stations taking their quality of service (QoS) requirements into account. However, the reference TXOP allocation scheme of HCF controlled channel access, a contention-free channel access function of HCF, is only suitable for constant bit rate traffic. For variable bit rate traffic, packet loss may occur seriously. The authors propose a TXOP allocation scheme to efficiently allocate bandwidth and meet the QoS requirements in terms of both delay bound and packet loss probability. To achieve high bandwidth efficiency, the authors take advantage of not only intra-flow multiplexing gain of traffic flows with large delay bounds, but also inter-flow multiplexing gain of multiple traffic flows with different delay bounds. According to numerical results obtained by computer simulations, the proposed TXOP allocation scheme results in much higher bandwidth efficiency than previous algorithms under the same constraints of delay bounds and packet loss probability.     

Cross-layer design for block subchannel allocation and admission control in the IEEE 802.16 OFDMA networks

The flexibility of orthogonal frequency-division multiple access (OFDMA) technology necessitates a compromise between spectrum efficiency and quality of service (QoS) in IEEE 802.16 broadband wireless networks. This article proposes a complete solution with the nice feature of adaptive modulation and a coding scheme to provide both delay and loss rate guarantees for real-time services. The proposed method first determines the subframe boundary according to the current downlink and uplink backlogs. To comply with the IEEE 802.16 standard, the proposed method then groups contiguous subchannels and allocates them to proper connections based on the current loss rate and available modulation and coding schemes for each connection. By modeling the aggregated required subchannels as a Gaussian distribution, this study develops a simple admission control algorithm by checking if there are enough resources for a new connection. Simulation results show that the proposed solution can provide QoS guarantee with high spectrum efficiency.     

Quality of service supporting downlink scheduling scheme in worldwide interoperability for microwave access wireless access systems

IEEE 802.16 is a standardisation for a broadband wireless access in metropolitan area networks (MAN). Since the IEEE 802.16 standard defines the concrete quality of service (QoS) requirement, a scheduling scheme is necessary to achieve the QoS requirement. Many scheduling schemes are proposed with the purpose of throughput optimisation and fairness enhancement, however, few scheduling schemes support the delay requirement. In this study, the authors propose a new scheduling scheme reflecting the delay requirement. Specifically, the authors add the delay requirement term in the proportional fair scheduling scheme and the scheduling parameters are optimised with respect to the QoS requirement. Therefore the QoS requirement is achieved without the excessive resource consumption.     

Quality of service constrained throughput optimisation for joint adaptive transmission with automatic repeat request over block-fading channels

An optimisation framework for wireless link adaptation which maximises the system throughput subject to a packet-level quality of service (QoS) constraint is presented. The authors consider joint adaptive variation of the transmitted power level, transmission data rate and packet-error-rate (PER) at the physical layer to improve the throughput performance of the selective-repeat automatic repeat request (SR-ARQ) protocol over block-fading channels. Specifically, for discrete-rate coded M-QAM schemes, the authors present a power and rate adaptation algorithm that guarantees a target PER constraint. The proposed framework also facilitates optimising the throughput performance for delay constrained wireless applications, which imposes a limit on the number of retransmissions for the ARQ. In particular, a link adaptation scheme is presented, which guarantees a target packet-loss rate (PLR) when a truncated SR ARQ protocol at the data-link layer is employed. Numerical results indicate that the proposed adaptation schemes compared with other adaptive schemes noticeably enhance the system throughput. Also, in the case of truncated ARQ, the results illustrate a fundamental trade-off between the delay and PLR QoS metrics achieved at the maximum throughput performance.     

Differentiated cooperative multiple access for multimedia communications over fading wireless networks

The quality of service (QoS) support for multimedia communications faces a big challenge in a fading wireless network. On one hand, conventional automatic repeat request (ARQ) schemes are not effective for small-scale fading channels with correlated errors due to consecutive retransmission failures. On the other hand, large-scale fading due to propagation loss or shadowing severely limits transmission range. A novel differentiated cooperative medium access control (MAC) protocol, called DC-MAC, is proposed to enhance the QoS support for multimedia communications while supporting service differentiation based on the IEEE 802.11e architecture. By enabling cooperative ARQ, the retransmission is initiated from an appropriate transmission queue of an appropriate relay node instead of the original source. Since unnecessary and useless retransmissions may intensify the node contention and degrade the system performance contrarily, a novel negative acknowledgement feedback mechanism is introduced for loss distinguishing and channel estimation such that cooperative retransmission will be employed only when necessary and only by competent nodes. Extensive simulations are conducted on the OPNET platform to analyse the performances of DC-MAC under both small-scale and large-scale fading. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme significantly improves the performances of both multimedia applications and best-effort data applications in terms of throughput, delay and coverage with moderate user contention.

Provision of proportional delay differentiation in wireless LAN using a cross-layer fine-tuning scheduling scheme

The proportional delay differentiation (PDD) is one of the most well-known quality of service (QoS) models and has drawn much attention because of its 'controllable' and 'predictable' characteristics. How to provide PDD in a wireless LAN (WLAN) is addressed and a cross-layer fine-tuning scheduling (CFS) scheme with the goal to maintain PDD among all wireless stations is proposed, while improving performance in a WLAN. CFS additionally considers the time-varying channel capacity to schedule packets, finely tunes the contention window and properly arbitrates the backoff time. Also, it operates in a fully distributed manner among all stations and in a cross-layer approach in each station. The simulation results demonstrate that the CFS scheme can provide more satisfactory PDD and higher performance in a WLAN, compared with 802.1 le.
