Abstract

A worldwide demand for high speed broadband wireless systems across commercial and residential regions is emerging rapidly due to the increasing reliance on web for information, business, entertainment and new upcoming high bandwidth intensive or real time applications. The IEEE 802.16 standard which has emerged as Broadband Wireless Access BWA solution is promising to meet all such requirements and becoming the most popular way for wireless communication. The IEEE 802.16 advantages includes variable and high data rate, last mile wireless access, point to multipoint communication, large frequency range and QoS for various types of applications. We propose Weighted Fair Queue WFQ based MAC scheduling architecture for IEEE 802.16 in both uplink and downlink direction. Our scheduling architecture accommodates parameters like traffic priority, minimum reserved bandwidth and queue information for various applications. Comparing with the traditional fixed bandwidth allocation schemes, the proposed architecture incorporates the traffic scheduling mechanism based on weights of flows and provides more fairness to the system Meenakshi | Rashmi Raj "Design and Evaluation of Scheduling Architecture for IEEE 802.16 in Mobile Ad-Hoc Network" Published in International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development (ijtsrd), ISSN: 2456-6470, Volume-3 | Issue-4 , June 2019, URL: https://www.ijtsrd.com/papers/ijtsrd22845.pdf Paper URL: https://www.ijtsrd.com/engineering/electronics-and-communication-engineering/22845/design-and-evaluation-of-scheduling-architecture-for-ieee-80216-in-mobile-ad-hoc-network/meenakshi
