Abstract: | In future wireless networks multimedia applications are expected to finally dominate the overall traffic volume. Shared channels are more suitable for the transmission of this type of traffic, as they are able to periodically adjust their transmission rate. In this paper, we introduce a cross-layer framework for WCDMA based networks which aims to make the packet scheduling procedure more efficient. In addition to that, we further propose a traffic scheduling scheme which serves the connections not only according to their delay sensitivity, but also according to the predicted state of their wireless channel. The efficiency of the proposed scheme, in terms of average packet delay and channel utilization is verified via simulations. |
