Abstract

Wireless networks are resource limited systems, how to optimally allocate limited resource is always an issue that should be concerned. In this thesis, a framework is proposed to optimally allocate the limited resource in wireless networks, so as to achieve the best multimedia performance. Two issues are discussed in the thesis, which are energy and bandwidth/ delay. They are two key factors mainly considered for the resource allocation in wireless networks. I provide three network topologies to analysis the energy efficient strategy and the latency bounded strategy in the proposed framework. The first issue that maximizing the multimedia service with quality constraint in Multi-Hop Wireless Mesh Networks (WMN) powered by finite energy is discussed in the topology 1 and the topology 2. The second issue that maximizing the multimedia quality with transmission delay constraint is discussed in the topology 3, which is the topology of Wireless Peer to Peer (P2P) Networks.
