Despite the growth in network capacity of wireless in-home networks, these networks often have insufficient capacity to support multiple simultaneous Audio/Video streams. Unpredictable behavior of these networks results in a drop of video quality for the end-user. A method for reducing the claim of an individual A/V stream on the network capacity is controlled frame dropping. However, controlle...

In this paper, we consider a variant of an M/M/c/c loss system with fluctuating server capacity. Given a set of primary inputs, such as arrival rate, service rate, and capacity fluctuation rate, we develop a detailed model using MRGP, such that blocking and dropping metrics can be calculated explicitly. To gain insight into performance implications of a stochastic capacity queue, we conduct an ...

In this paper we investigate the integration of both CBR (Constant Bit Rate) and ABR (Available Bit Rate) services in a wireless personal communication network. MRAP is a proposed Multiservices Resource Allocation Policy which intends to share eeciently slot times of the TDMA frame between two classes of traac while satisfying the quality of service requirements of both. By means of performance...

This paper presents a fuzzy based packet dropping scheme for wireless networks in the context of future generation cellular networks. In this scheme,...
