A MAC protocol supporting IP with QoS guarantees in a wireless local loop
Andrea Baiocchi, Francesca Cuomo, L. Dell'Uomo, U. Teloni · 2003
In this paper we propose an IP-based wireless local loop system for the support of different services (fast Internet access, data, voice and video conference) with high data rate and high QoS. We consider the access structure that derives from the adoption of the multicarrier-CDMA technology and we define a MAC protocol suitable to support quality of service requirements for a number of different classes, consistently with what is envisioned for the integrated services architecture of future IP networks. In this context interworking with reservation protocols (like RSVP) is assumed.
