Abstract

Although the IEEE 802.16 standard defines five service levels to support real-time and bandwidth demanding applications, admission control and scheduling mechanisms are not specified in the standard. This paper introduces an up-link scheduling algorithm and an admission control policy for IEEE 802.16 networks. The proposed solution is fully standard-compliant and can be easily implemented in the base station. Simulation results show that this solution is able to meet the QoS requirements of multimedia applications.
