A Framework for Real-Time Wireless Networks
I-Hong Hou and P.R. Kumar, Texas A&M University
With the explosive increase in the number of mobile devices and applications, it is anticipated that
wireless traffic will increase exponentially in the coming years. Moreover, future wireless networks
all carry a wide variety of flows, such as video streaming, online gaming, and VoIP, which have various
quality of service (QoS) requirements. Therefore, a new mechanism that can provide satisfactory
performance to the complete variety of all kinds of flows, in a coherent and unified framework, is
needed.
In this book, we introduce a framework for real-time wireless networks. This consists of a model
that jointly addresses several practical concerns for real-time wireless networks, including per-packet
delay bounds, throughput requirements, and heterogeneity of wireless channels. We detail how this
framework can be employed to address a wide range of problems, including admission control, packet
scheduling, and utility maximization.
