Providing Dynamic TXOP for QoS Support of Video Transmission in IEEE 802.11e WLANs
The IEEE 802.11e standard introduced by IEEE 802.11 Task Group E (TGe)
enhances the Quality of Service (QoS) by means of HCF Controlled Channel Access
(HCCA). The scheduler of HCCA allocates Transmission Opportunities (TXOPs) to
QoS-enabled Station (QSTA) based on their TS Specifications (TSPECs) negotiated
at the traffic setup time so that it is only efficient for Constant Bit Rate
(CBR) applications. However, Variable Bit Rate (VBR) traffics are not
efficiently supported as they exhibit nondeterministic profile during the time.
In this paper, we present a dynamic TXOP assignment Scheduling Algorithm for
supporting the video traffics transmission over IEEE 802.11e wireless networks.
This algorithm uses a piggybacked information about the size of the subsequent
video frames of the uplink traffic to assist the Hybrid Coordinator accurately
assign the TXOP according to the fast changes in the VBR profile. The proposed
scheduling algorithm has been evaluated using simulation with different
variability level video streams. The simulation results show that the proposed
algorithm reduces the delay experienced by VBR traffic streams comparable to
HCCA scheduler due to the accurate assignment of the TXOP which preserve the
channel time for transmission.Comment: arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:1602.0369
Improving the QoS support in HCCA-EDCA mixed IEEE 802.11e networks
The multimedia applications require the network to provide a trustworthy
service suitable to meet their Quality of Service and real-time requirements,
managing efficiently the available resources. In this paper we present a performing
solution for the multimedia support over IEEE 802.11e networks that aims to
combine both its Medium Access Control functions, Enhanced Distributed Channel
Access (EDCA) and Hybrid Coordination Function (HCF) Controlled Channel
Access (HCCA), in order to reduce the experienced delay. The proposed scheduler,
local to the node, cooperates with the centralized HCCA scheduler, integrating the
offered service using the EDCA available resources. The simulations show that the
overall scheduler improves the performance with respect to the HCCA schedulers in
terms of scheduling efficiency and delay, allowing to guarantee the expected service
level
A Greedy Reclaiming Scheduler for IEEE 802.11e HCCA Real-Time Networks
The IEEE 802.11e standard introduces Quality of Service (QoS)
support for wireless local area networks and suggests how to design a tailored HCF Controlled Channel Access (HCCA) scheduler.
However the reference scheduling algorithm is suitable to assure
service guarantees only for Constant Bit Rate traffic streams,
whereas shows its limits for Variable Bit Rate traffic. Despite the
numerous alternative schedulers proposed to improve the QoS support for multimedia applications, in the case of VBR traffic satisfactory real-time performance has not been yet achieved.
This paper presents a new scheduling algorithm, Unused Time
Shifting Scheduler (UTSS). It integrates a mechanism for bandwidth reclaiming into a HCCA real-time scheduler. UTSS assigns the unused portion of each transmission opportunity to the next scheduled traffic stream. Thanks to such feature, traffic variability is absorbed, reducing the waste of resources. The analytical evaluation, corroborated by the simulation results, shows that UTSS is suitable to reduce the delay experienced by VBR traffic streams and to increase the maximum burstiness sustainable by the network
Providing QoS Guarantees in Ad Hoc Networks through EDCA with Resource Reservation
As the use of WLANs based on IEEE 802.11 increase, the need for QoS becomes more obvious. The upcoming IEEE 802.11e aims at providing QoS, but its contention-based medium access mechanism enhanced distributed channel access (EDCA), provides only service differentiation, i.e. soft QoS. In order to provide hard QoS, we have proposed an extension called EDCA with resource reservation (EDCA/RR), which enhances EDCA by offering also hard QoS through resource reservation. This report focuses on EDCA/RR with the aim to enhance the scheme further in single-hop scenarios but also to present an idea of how to extend the scheme to be useful also in multi-hop ad hoc networks
Study on QoS support in 802.11e-based multi-hop vehicular wireless ad hoc networks
Multimedia communications over vehicular ad hoc networks (VANET) will play an important role in the future intelligent transport system (ITS). QoS support for VANET therefore becomes an essential problem. In this paper, we first study the QoS performance in multi-hop VANET by using the standard IEEE 802.11e EDCA MAC and our proposed triple-constraint QoS routing protocol, Delay-Reliability-Hop (DeReHQ). In particular, we evaluate the DeReHQ protocol together with EDCA in highway and urban areas. Simulation results show that end-to-end delay performance can sometimes be achieved when both 802.11e EDCA and DeReHQ extended AODV are used. However, further studies on cross-layer optimization for QoS support in multi-hop environment are required
Prioritization scheme for QoS in IEEE 802.11e WLAN
The exponential growth in demand for multimedia
applications in wireless network has resulted in dramatic increased in different devices and connections accessing information.Indeed, this is primarily due to the fact that wireless and multimedia applications have been used quite extensively in business, commercial and communication industry.Supporting multimedia application in wireless environment with different bandwidth and delay requirement is challenging – this can eventually have detrimental impact on the system performance if the necessary quality of service (QoS) requirement has not been provided.This paper presents an approach which
prioritizes the application base on its content in order to ultimately support and provide the needed requirements for multimedia application over wireless LAN.Consequently, the throughput of the IEEE 802.11e while maintaining its QoS requirement.The scheme has been simulated using
