Abstract

IEEE 802.11e standard develops a reference design for a sample scheduler and admission control unit to support the contention-free access. However, the reference design can not e®ectively utilize the bandwidth. This paper proposes an equal-spacing-based (equal-SP) design to address the prob- lem. In the equal-SP design, which generalizes the reference design, each stream is scheduled with equal-spacing and dif- ferent streams are scheduled with di®erent equal-spacings. The equal-SP design not only keeps all advantages of the reference design, but it can also utilize the bandwidth e®ec- tively

Keywords: Polling scheme scheduling equal-spacing bandwidth utilization
