Packet Fair Queuing Algorithms for Wireless Networks
چکیده
Due to the rapid growth of wireless data services, the issues of providing different quality of services and fair channel access have become more and more crucial. In wireline networks, there are many mature fair queuing algorithms that can provide fairness and bounded delay properties. However, they cannot be directly applied to wireless networks because of the bursty and location-dependent error characteristics of wireless channels. So many fair queuing algorithms designed for wireless networks are proposed. In this chapter, we introduce the concept of fair queuing in wireline networks, discuss the problems and difficulties to apply them to wireless networks, and provide a comprehensive survey of recent research on wireless fair queuing algorithms.
