ABSTRACT

The recent advancements and ever increasing growth in Web technologies have resulted in the need for efficient scheduling and data transmission strategies. The emergence of wireless communication systems have also added a new dimension to this problem by providing constraints over the low bandwidth upstream communication channels. While today’s wireless networks offer voice services and Web browsing capabilities, the actual essence of future generation (3G and Beyond 3G) wireless systems lie in efficient data services. Guaranteeing precise quality of service (QoS), such as the expected access time or delay, bandwidth and blocking are perhaps the most salient features of such data services. To extract the best performance and efficiency of a data transmission scheme, one needs a scalable and efficient data transmission technology.
