A cross-layer adaptation scheme for improving IEEE 802.11e QoS by learning

IEEE Trans Neural Netw. 2006 Nov;17(6):1661-5. doi: 10.1109/TNN.2006.883014.

Abstract

In this letter, we propose a cross-layer adaptation scheme which improves IEEE 802.11e quality of service (QoS) by online adapting multidimensional medium access control (MAC)-layer parameters depending on the application-layer QoS requirements and physical layer (PHY) channel conditions. Our solution is based on an optimization approach which utilizes neural networks (NNs) to learn the cross-layer function. Simulations results demonstrate the effectiveness of our adaptation scheme.
