Abstract :
We show a technique to control the data rate emitted by wideband radio terminals. This technique is designed for adapting terminals to channel capacity variations. The proposal is based on notifying the application layer of the channel status. This information is generated by the packet scheduler, which is designed for guaranteeing appropriate channel sharing to the traffic components. Results show the effectiveness of the control in most of the analyzed situations.
