Abstract
It is essential to reserve resources in order to provide an acceptable
quality of service in networks with real-time communication
requirements. However, such reserved resources, e.g. bandwidth, may
be unused as a consequence of the variations in the actual resource
demands. Since bandwidth is scarce in wireless LANs (WLANs), QoS
provisioning may be very expensive. Therefore, we propose a new
resource management approach leading to a more efficient usage of the
network in which communicating stations or end-users dynamically hand
over some of the free resources temporarily to the other communication
neighbors. This paper concentrates on two fundamental problems of
such a demand-based sharing of resources: the current estimation of
resource utilization, and the algorithm to share and redistribute
resources with real-time requirements. This approach for resource and
traffic management allows one to achieve significantly better
utilization of network resources.
