IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON VEHICULAR TECHNOLOGY, VOL. 58, NO. 5, JUNE 2009 2519 Admission Control Based on Available Bandwidth Estimation for Wireless Mesh Networks Qiang Shen, Student Member, IEEE, Xuming Fang, Member, IEEE, Pan Li, Student Member, IEEE, and Yuguang Fang, Fellow, IEEE Abstract—Admission control plays a very important role in coordination function mode is just an optional access method guaranteeing the quality-of-service (QoS) in wireless mesh net- [1] for such networks. Therefore, in this paper, we focus on the works (WMNs). In this paper, based on the channel and hidden distributed coordination function mode instead. terminal information, we first estimate the available bandwidth in the operation of medium access control (MAC). We then design an QoS provisioning can be addressed in various protocol admission control algorithm (ACA) at the MAC layer to address layers, such as the medium-access control (MAC) layer, the the QoS issue for real-time and nonreal-time traffic. For real-time network layer, the transport layer, and so on. The IEEE 802.11e traffic, all nodes on a route make an admission control decision is one of the classical random MAC protocols in WLANs and based on the estimated available bandwidth. For the nonreal-time WMNs, which addresses the QoS for different traffic types traffic, a rate adaptation algorithm is proposed to adjust the sending rates of sources to prevent the network from entering according to different priorities at the MAC layer. At the the
