Abstract

In this paper, we propose a new packet scheduling algorithm for IEEE 802.16 wireless access systems running time division duplex (TDD) mode. We compare the performance of the proposed algorithm to others in terms of bandwidth and fairness in details. The simulation results show that not only the newly proposed algorithm can handle the dynamic bandwidth allocation to achieve higher throughput, but also it can guarantee the QoS support and provide better fairness.
