Abstract :
In this paper, we propose a novel end-to-end resource allocation approach for wireless mesh networks with quality-of-service (QoS) assurance. By introducing additional interference tolerability to each multimedia flow, our proposed approach is shown effective in fostering frequency reuse and increasing the number of multimedia flows supported in the system, outperforming its conventional resource allocation counterpart. Further, the proposed approach is of low complexity, leading to a preferred candidate for practical implementation.
