Abstract

Wireless ATM networks, which are currently under investigation, promise to support future multimedia applications. The medium access control (MAC) protocol of such systems plays a key role in providing differentiated quality of service (QoS). A variety of proposed MAC protocols use a centrally controlled flexible allocation of time slots. In order to support differentiated QoS the base station scheduler must allow a fair sharing of the available resources depending on the requested QoS. Moreover it should be insensitive against partially outdated status information of the mobile station queues. Our proposed scheme is able to support these properties and is simple to implement.
