The goal of this paper is to survey the core issues in the design of schedulers for IEEE 802.16 networks and study the various techniques available in literature. Neural Networks have been utilized by researchers over the years to solve a large set of optimization problems in the field of active

Abstract — In this paper we propose polling based uplink scheduling schemes for TCP based applications in a multipointto-point fixed broadband IEEE 802.16 network. Our schemes adapt the transmission rates between Subscriber Stations (SSs) and the Base Station (BS) dynamically using adaptive

We present an overview of the 802.16 mesh protocol with a specific focus on the networking aspects of the protocol. We first review the 802.16 mesh Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) technology, including state of the art research on scheduling algorithms required by the technology. We

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

This paper describes a series of experiments which obtained detailed measurements of the energy consumption of an IEEE 802.11 wireless network interface operating in an ad hoc networking environment. The data is presented as a

Wireless Access technologies, such as the IEEE 802.16, also known as WiMAX. One of the features of the MAC layer of 802.16 is that it is designed to differentiate service among traffic categories with different multimedia requirements. This article focuses on mechanisms that are available in an 802.16

wireless MACs such as IEEE 802.11 in almost every way: energy conservation and self-configuration are primary goals, while per-node fairness and latency are less important. S-MAC uses three novel techniques to reduce energy consumption and support self-configuration. To reduce energy consumption
