QoS Mechanisms over Wireless Internet. Members: D. Hoang, H. Zhou, P. Nhan

Wireless network technology has induced a rapid growing industry. It also presents many new challenges to research in communications and networking. The main challenges include the handling of high physical error rate inherent in wireless channels, the mechanisms for handling handoff and mobility, and the end-to-end quality of service (QoS) issues. The aim of the project is to investigate mechanisms for Internet over wireless links to support applications that demand stringent quality of service (QoS). In particular, various mechanisms for improving wireless-link protocol and TCP will be explored. QoS parameters at the application level will be identified and mapped to relevant control parameters at the network transport level for control purposes. Feedback control loops for QoS control based on our recently proposed Fair Intelligent Congestion Control scheme will be investigated. This project is supported by an ARC-Motorola SPIRT grant.
