Abstract

This paper describes properties of a network management concept designed in the scope of the project ldquoHOMEPLANErdquo. Following to the projectpsilas vision, the future home network has a strong focus on multimedia applications. For the userspsila convenience, media transfers are realized based on IEEE 802.11 WLAN. To ensure high quality of service different enhancement concepts have been developed and evaluated in hardware. This paper gives an overview on the fundamental concepts of wireless resource managing as well as current implementation results.
