ABSTRACT:
A media control approach that supports transmission of data streams with QoS requirements, such as minimum throughput or maximum delay, while adapting to the changing characteristics of the transmission medium. The media control approach includes use of a polling manager and a resource manager. The resource manager provides an admission control procedure that prevents admission of sessions that cannot be supported by the system and allocates network resources needed to support admitted sessions. The polling manager uses an efficient “just in time” polling of stations based on their allocated bandwidth or communication rates. Stations that do not use their allocated rates are polled less often than those which use their allocation, thereby increasing the total throughput of the system and providing proper quality of service support for real-time applications.
