Title
A Distributed QoS Provision Scheme in IEEE802.16 Mesh Networks with Directional Antennas
Abstract
QoS provisioning in wireless mesh networks has been to known as a challenging issue. In a distributed scheduling based wireless mesh backhaul network, conventional connection-based QoS provision mechanism requires considerable amount of overhead for per-link QoS signaling, thus cannot support high speed real time traffic. In this paper,we propose a DiffServ-like QoS provision mechanism for IEEE 802.16 mesh networks with directional antennas to increase network capacity and enable real time traffic. We develop a distributed scheduling algorithm based on our proposed scheme. Simulation results demonstrate that directional antennas can achieve higher network capacity compared with omni-antennas, and our QoS scheme can effectively guarantee QoS requirements of real time traffic.
