Abstract :
A new multiplexing scheme for multimedia over wireless networks is proposed. The proposed scheme greatly accelerates data services in the presence of multimedia services compared to other schemes. Our scheme is also more energy-aware than other schedulers. The scheme provides soft QoS guarantee by enforcing cooperative coding in multimedia stations. The scheme results in lower rates of call rejection or dropping due to handover. It is suited for implementation at the base station in infrastructure basic service sets.
