In IEEE 802.16 networks, a bandwidth request-grant mechanism is used to accommodate various QoS requirements of heterogeneous traffic. However, it may not be effective for TCP flows since (a) there is no strict QoS requirement in TCP traffic; and (b) it is difficult to estimate the amount of required bandwidth due to dynamic changes of the sending rate. In this letter, we propose a new uplink scheduling scheme for best-effort TCP traffic in IEEE 802.16 networks. The proposed scheme does not need any bandwidth request process for allocation. Instead, it estimates the amount of bandwidth required for a flow based on its current sending rate. Through simulation, we show that the proposed scheme is effective to allocate bandwidth for TCP flows [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER] |
