VENKAT VINAY KUMAR PAMPATI CS898t- WIRELESS AND MOBILE COMMUNCIATIONS Dr.CHANG Topic: Predictive Reservation for Allocating Bandwidth for Wireless ATM networks. Major Goals: [1] What are wireless ATM networks? [2] How is the wireless ATM Architecture? [3] How the QoS of the Wireless ATM networks can be improved using predicitve reservation? Scope: In future wireless networks such as the Wireless ATM networks, it is important to guarantee quality-of-service (QOS) for mobile terminals. However, guaranteeing QOS while ensuring high bandwidth utilization is difficult because of the unpredictable nature of the terminals mobility pattern. In this paper, I have tried to propose a new scheme to improve the QOS of Wireless ATM networks by using predictive reservation of bandwidth from mobility patterns dynamically. I will propose a scheme that use this predictive framework and evaluate their performance. Simulation results show that under heavy load conditions, our proposed dropping probabilities by a signicant amount while resulting in only a small increase in the blocking probabilities and a minimal sacrifice in bandwidth utilization.
