title = "Compound QoS commitments for a wireless network with variable capacity",
abstract = "Future wireless networks need to support different service requirements. Ho-sever, the exiting methods of specifying QoS commitments, namely qualitative commitment and quantitativ e commitment are not perfect for a wireless communication environment. In this paper, we propose a new concept called compound QoS commitment which combines qualitative and quantitative commitments within a single service commitment. As such, the proposed concept can provide a practical approach to deal with the highly variable wireless netw ork capacijr. Since each compound QoS commitment has tw o degrees of freedom, it m| also increase the fiexibilit y in committing an ahievable QoS. In order to show the feasibility of the proposed concept, we present a scheduling algorithm whic hcan sim ultaneouslypro vide a proportional dropping ratio guarantee and a deterministic upper delay guarantee to a flow. Numerical results confirm that the algorithm is capable of delivering the tw o guarantees simultaneously.",
