TUTWLAN – QoS Supporting Wireless Network

Quality of Service (QoS) support has generally been lacking from WPAN and WLAN technologies, which has motivated the research of TUTWLAN. Design objectives have been relatively simple network architecture and capability to support real time services ranging from sensor data to multimedia streaming. The main TUTWLAN entities for QoS support are the Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol called TUTMAC and TUTWLAN Access Point (AP). The channel access is based on dynamic reservation Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA). TUTWLAN is shown to be suitable for wireless home and office applications. It provides flexibility, interoperability and availability of services exceeding the recent QoS proposals that has been accounted at the standardisation bodies for standard wireless technologies.
