Abstract :
We present a scheme for allocating unsolicited grants to the end hosts of synchronous applications of a wireless access network, in accordance with the condition of the channel, the importance of each packet and the specific loss recovery mechanism employed in the channel. The proposed scheme is generic in the sense that it maximizes the effectiveness of the channel under various conditions and it can he used along with every FEC-based or retransmission-based error recovery strategy
