Abstract :
Bandwidth in wireless systems is a scarce resource which has to be controlled intelligently to provide the required quality of service (QoS) for each distinct mobile user. Based on wireline approaches, we present and discuss some of the main scheduling schemes proposed for wireless data transmission. A new supporting scheme called "wireless weighted fair queueing" (W2FQ) allows one to implement schemes based on the weighted fair queueing approach in distributed wireless environments.
