In a wireless LAN environment, clients tend to associate with the nearest access point (AP) which usually provides the strongest signal. However, this does not guarantee that user...
Modern real-time systems increasingly operate with multiple interactive applications. While these systems often require reliable quality of service (QoS) for the applications, eve...
—A key component for networks with Quality of Service (QoS) support is the egress link scheduling algorithm. An ideal scheduling algorithm implemented in a high-performance netwo...
