Abstract
IEEE 802.16 networks are going to provide broadband wireless access with quality of service (QoS) guarantee. In all of services, real-time video traffic plays an impeditive role because of its varying bit-rate and stringent delay constraint. To the best of our knowledge, no call admission control (CAC) and scheduling schemes cover throughput expectation, delay constraint and fairness requirement simultaneously. In this paper, by taking advantage of traffic periodicity and regularity, a set of CAC and scheduling schemes for real-time video traffic in IEEE 802.16 networks is proposed. Specifically, two key parameters are studied to compromise throughput and delay, as well as, delay and fairness. Simulations with real life video traces show that the proposed schemes may well bear flexibility in balancing throughput, delay and fairness, or, offering significant throughput improvement with acceptable delay and fairness.
