Dynamic resource management in real-time wireless networks

Abstract

This chapter gives an overview on various dynamic resource management frameworks for handling network dynamics in real-time wireless networks (RTWNs). The designs of these frameworks were driven by the specific objectives of achieving real-time and reliable data delivery in RTWNs with diversified constraints on network resource, device computation capacity, etc. This chapter presents three representative dynamic resource management solutions: HD-PaS, RD-PaS, and FD-PaS as hybrid, reliable, and distributed dynamic packet scheduling frameworks, respectively. An implementation of FD-PaS on a real-time wireless network testbed is given at the end of this chapter to show its applicability in real-world RTWNs.
