Abstract: Wireless channels are characterized by more serious
bursty and location-dependent errors. Many packet scheduling
algorithms have been proposed for wireless networks to guarantee
fairness and delay bounds. However, most existing schemes do not
consider the difference of traffic natures among packet flows. This
will cause the delay-weight coupling problem. In particular, serious
queuing delays may be incurred for real-time flows. In this paper, it
is proposed a scheduling algorithm that takes traffic types of flows
into consideration when scheduling packets and also it is provided
scheduling flexibility by trading off video quality to meet the
playback deadline.
