Abstract
Mobile networks are becoming increasingly prevalent, and this has led to an increase in the bandwidth available over wireless links in IMT-2000. Both non-real-time forms of communication, such as e-mail and web browsing, and real-time forms of communication, such as audio and video applications, are well suited to wireless networks. However, wireless networks are subject to relatively long transmission delays because of the need to recover lost packets caused by high bit error rates. This degrades the quality of real-time communications. Therefore, in the present paper, we propose a receiver-based flow control mechanism employing an interlayer collaboration concept to improve the quality of real-time communications without adversely affecting the performance of non-real-time communications on IMT-2000 networks. In addition, simulations are performed in order to evaluate the performance of the proposed mechanism and demonstrate its effectiveness.
