Abstract
Wireless local area networks are a viable technology to support
multimedia traffic One of the prominent wireless local area network
standards is the IEEE 802.11 standard. In wireless multimedia networks,
mobile stations will be capable of generating a heterogeneous traffic mix
with varying bandwidth requirements. In this paper, we investigate in
detail, a distributed fair queueing scheduler for 802.11 wireless network
to schedule both uplink and downlink traffic flows. This scheme is a
combination of the distributed deficit round robin scheme together with
its centralized counterpart. The performance of the proposed scheduler is
evaluated by computer simulation, showing that the fair queueing
scheduler outperforms the scheduler based on round robin service
discipline from a capacity viewpoint.
