Abstract
A wireless broadband (WiBro) station is capable of supporting Quality of Service (QoS), and a method provides the QoS service in a WiBro network. A High_MAC processor is additionally constructed to parse a packet inputted from an application layer, assigns a QoS class according to a feature of the parsed packet, and transmits the packet through a channel corresponding to the assigned QoS class, thereby performing a QoS service through a separate QoS processing module provided between the application layer and a Media Access Control (MAC) layer. Thus, a burden imposed on the MAC layer is reduced, and a faster QoS service is provided.
Claims17
A wireless broadband (WiBro) station capable of supporting Quality of Service (QoS), the WiBro station comprising:
- a High_MAC processor which parses a packet input from an application layer, assigns a QoS class according to a feature of the parsed packet, and transmits the packet through a channel corresponding to the assigned QoS class;
- and
- a High_MAC driver which provides an interface for packet input and output from and to, respectively, the High_MAC processor.
A method for providing Quality of Service (QoS) service in a wireless broadband (WiBro) network, the method comprising the steps of:
- preparing a QoS table defining a QoS class assigned according to a service type and a packet type at a High_MAC processor located between an application layer and a Media Access Control (MAC) layer;
- parsing, by means of the High_MAC processor, a packet received from the application layer, retrieving a type of the parsed packet from the QoS table, and assigning a QoS class corresponding to the retrieved type of the parsed packet;
- and
- transmitting to the MAC layer the packet to which the QoS class is assigned.
A method for providing Quality of Service (QoS) service in a wireless broadband (WiBro) network, the method comprising the steps of:
- preparing a QoS table defining a QoS class assigned according to a service type and a packet type at a High_MAC processor located between an application layer and a Media Access Control (MAC) layer;
- detecting, by means of the High_MAC processor, a type of packet inputted from an external network through the MAC layer, retrieving the detected type of packet on the QoS table, and assigning a QoS class corresponding to the retrieved detected type of packet;
- and
- transmitting to the application layer the packet to which the QoS class is assigned.
