On resource management in heterogeneous wireless access networks application to automated highway systems

This paper discusses a general solution to provide quality of service (QoS) in heterogeneous wireless networks. The mechanisms we mainly discuss in this paper is resource management in a WiMAX-WiFi heterogenous wireless network within the context of an automated highway system (AHS). We show how different mechanisms within each network can be combined in order to insure the required QoS.
