Abstract:

Based on traffic prediction, a new adaptive bandwidth request mechanism for real-time traffic in worldwide interoperability for microwave access (WiMAX) is proposed. According to historical traffic of system, this algorithm combines exponential estimation with cumulative mean errors; therefore it can estimate the arrival of packets next time and request extra bandwidth for them in advance. Hence it can decrease time lags and reduce buffer for real-time traffic. Simulation results show that the proposed adaptive algorithm can provide better performance of average delay and buffer
