Abstract

One of the most popular applications of IEEE 802.16 network is to serve as a backhaul service for IEEE 802.11 networks. However, the traffic of an IEEE 802.16 connection aggregated from IEEE 802.11 networks fluctuates. Thus, efficient bandwidth reservation at the subscriber station (SS) is an importance issue. This study proposes a simple and flexible bandwidth reservation scheme at the SS, called multi-stage self-correction bandwidth reservation (MSBR), to make effective use of the bandwidth without violating the QoS requirements for real-time traffic under the proposed cost model. The MSBR scheme introduces the concept of Decision Period for bandwidth reservation to reduce the control message overheads. The proposed method also adopts the RLS algorithm to predict the traffic arrival and applies the MSBR method to capture the traffic dynamics for bandwidth reservation. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed MSBR scheme utilizes the bandwidth efficiently without violating the QoS requirements of real-time services.
