Abstract

Using wireless systems to transport real-time data is becoming increasingly common as wireless networks themselves are used more. However, in most instances, real-time data is generated by applications and ultimately transmitted by a MAC layer protocol with no support for deadlines. We describe a MAC layer protocol that transmits data taking into consideration its real-time properties. This would appear to be the first wireless MAC protocol offering support for hard, soft, and non-real-time data in a preemptive manner. Numerical results of the mathematical model (not presented here) are graphed and evaluated
