Abstract

We define a notification hierarchy including a set of unified link-layer triggers to be used for cross-layer optimization in heterogeneous wireless networks. Unlike previous suggestions, our approach is not specific to IEEE 802-technologies, and can be used by applications as well as network and transport protocol entities. We also present full testbed implementation of our system together with the corresponding software architecture focussing on IEEE 802.11 WLAN networks. As a test case, we illustrate the benefits of our approach with a video streaming application using the retransmission ratio as a link quality indicator.
