This homework
requires that you read two research papers and summarize the key ideas that are
presented. Both papers deal with QoS issues in WLAN, but address different
concerns
A. Grilo, M.
Macedo, and M. Nunes, "
A
Scheduling Algorithm for QoS Support in IEEE 802.11e Networks ",
IEEE Wireless Communications, 06/2003
Adlen Ksentini and Mohamed Naimi,
"Toward an improvement of H.264 video transmission over IEEE 802.11e through a cross-layer architecture", IEEE Communications Magazine • January 2006, pp 107 - 1141. Identify the
problem that is addressed in the papers.
2. Describe the presented solutions.
3. Provide comments and observations about the solutions.
4. If possible, propose enhancements to the solutions in the papers.
Consider the
following guidelines when writing your answer:
a- Font size:
12
b- Double-spaced texts
c- Answer size of less than eight pages
d- If used, reference external materials that contributed to your answer
Homework 2 - (deadline: Sept. 19)
This homework is a continuation of homework 1. Two more recent papers are added:
