Abstract

In order to extend the operating space of single hop High Data Rate (HDR) Wireless Personal Area Networks (WPANs), the meshed configuration can be used for multi-hop functionality. Since the superframe is shared between multiple WPAN piconets for communication, with higher device density, the superframe capacity usually proves to be a bottleneck. Furthermore, when the superframe capacity is shared in a distributed fashion, issues of fairness in time allocation arises. In this paper we propose a centralized scheme for resource allocation specifically in meshed WPANs and induce an element of fairness in time allocation. Simulation results prove the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
