Weighted Fair Queuing in Wireless Networks

Pooja Mishra

Abstract


Due to the rapid growth of wireless data services, the issues of providing different quality of services and fair channel access have become more and more crucial. In wireless networks, there are many mature fair queuing algorithms that can provide fairness and bounded delay properties. However, they cannot be directly applied to wireless networks because of the bursty and location-dependent error characteristics of wireless channels. So many fair queuing algorithms designed for wireless networks are proposed. In this paper, we introduce the concept of fair queuing and Weighted Fair Queuing (WFQ) in wireline networks. We have discuss the problems and difficulties to apply them to wireless networks, and provide a comprehensive survey of recent research on wireless fair queuing algorithms.
