Bandwidth Reservation On Wireless Networks with RTS/CTS Signalling

There is a growing number of applications that nowadays need Quality of Service guarantees in order to provide their services correctly. Among these applications, we may cite Voice over IP, video-conference, video-on-demand etc. More recently, the spread of wireless networks, and more precisely, ad-hoc networks brought the attention to the need of a mechanism that enables these kinds of services to run properly in such networks. This paper presents a mechanism to provide flow-based Quality of Service on the top of 802.11-based wireless networks taking into account the use of RTS/CTS signalling.
