This paper studies packet transmission scheduling for real-time constant-bit-rate (CBR)
traffic in IEEE 802.16-based wireless mesh networks. We first formulate and solve the …

This paper studies real-time traffic scheduling in wireless mesh networks (WMNs). Optimum
packet transmission scheduling providing strict latency guarantee for realtime traffic while …

Wireless mesh network (WMN) is emerging as an important networking architecture for
future wireless communications. The mesh mode supported in IEEE 802.16 protocol …

IEEE 802.16 employs TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access) as the access method and the
policy for selecting scheduled links in a given time slot will definitely impact the system …

In centralized scheduling for IEEE 802.16 mesh networks, all packets should be transported
through the BS (Base Station). The links to or from the BS become the system's bottleneck …

Providing end-to-end quality of service (QoS) for delay-sensitive flows with variable-bit-rate
(VBR) traffic in wireless mesh networks is a major challenge. There are several reasons for …

The IEEE 802.16/WiMAX mesh network, which is dynamically self-organized and self-
configured, is a promising solution for wireless broadband access in metropolitan scale with …

In this paper, we propose a novel distributed routing algorithm for IEEE 802.16/WiMax based
mesh networks. Our algorithm aims at providing routes for traffic flows with minimum end-to …

IEEE 802.16 can provide wireless broadband access with its support to both single-hop and
multi-hop mesh modes. It defines several traffic/service categories and offers differentiated …

The IEEE 802.16 standard is providing support for mesh networks of which two scheduling
mechanisms (ie, centralized scheduling and distributed scheduling) are proposed …
