ARROW: An Efficient Traffic Scheduling Algorithm for IEEE 802.11e HCCA

In this paper we present a novel traffic scheduling algorithm for IEEE 802.11e, referred to as ARROW (adaptive resource reservation over WLANs), which aims at providing improved performance for the support of multimedia traffic. The novel characteristic of this algorithm, compared to previous proposals, is that it performs channel allocations based on the actual traffic buffered in the various mobile stations, i.e., on the exact transmission...
