Abstract
The diffusion of wireless technologies is rapidly growing, and they are increasingly employed to provide connectivity on the road. Wireless systems are widely deployed to allow cheap devices to communicate, to provide local networking capabilities to even more demanding customers, e. g. for short range on-line gaming. One of the key problems is related to provide some Quality of Service (QoS) mechanisms in order to partition and control the underlying physical resource. Even if mechanisms for supporting QoS are becoming available also at the Medium Access Control (MAC) layer, this paper introduces an approach independent of the MAC, called PRIMUS (PRoviding QoS Independently of MAC UserS). The proposed scheme is based on a peer-to-peer (p2p) framework and it exploits an overlay network model in order to be fully decoupled from the underlying physical technology.
