Achieving delay and throughput decoupling in distributed fair queueing over ad hoc networks

Abstract

This paper describes an algorithm that achieves delay and throughput decoupling in distributed fair scheduling in multihop ad-hoc wireless networks. The solution allows to support both low-bandwidth, low-delay and high-bandwidth, high delay applications in a single framework, without wasting much bandwidth to realize the low-delay requirement. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our algorithm in servicing various types of applications through ns-2 simulations.
