Quality of Service White Papers
Multimedia QoS in Low-Cost Home Networks
Overview This paper describes a new mechanism to guarantee quality of service for multimedia streams in low-cost home networks. Quality of service is based on a token, of which the route in the network is determined by a distributed scheduler. The network node that has the token - the active node - can send its data during a predetermined period. The length of this period and which node gets the token next is calculated by the scheduler in the active node. Every node has a scheduler on-board and schedules streams according to stream information from other nodes - contained in the token - and its own streams. Although other types of scheduler could be used, the token scheduler deploys a preemptive earliest deadline first strategy.
