On the Efficient Resource Allocation for High Quality Video Streams and FTP Traffic over Next Generation Wireless Networks

In this paper we propose a Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol for the efficient integration of high quality video traffic with ftp data packet traffic over a wireless channel of very high capacity. Via an extensive simulation study, we evaluate the system's performance under a variety of possible loads which consist of actual MPEG-4 streams and ftp sessions.
