Focusing on an important and complicated topic in wireless network design Wireless Quality of Service: Techniques Standards and Applications systematically addresses the quality-of-service (Qo S) issues found in many types of popular wireless networks. In each chapter the book presents numerous Qo S challenges encountered in real-world applications and delineates ways to overcome these obstacles. Some of the challenges explored are performance impairments in WLAN hotspots video streaming applications and broadband wireless access. The techniques and mechanisms covered to tackle these problems include medium access and call admission control techniques a parameter tuning algorithm the Qo S-enabling features of IEEE 802.11e a Markov chain model a probe-based distributed admission control mechanism topology-transparent scheduling protocols and a novel multicast congestion control mechanism. Addressing advanced topics and future directions the expert contributors acknowledge the need for more research to solve several open issues. In the meantime they offer innovative solutions to solve current Qo S problems. |Wireless Quality of Service Techniques Standards and Applications | Software Networking & Security
