Abstract
This paper describes a new scheduling algorithm for multimedia applications on wireless networks. The scheduling algorithm is based on standard GPS class scheduling algorithms; however instead of operating on a single QoS attribute, it can use as input two variables, one governing the minimum committed rate and the other governing the access to surplus bandwidth. The scheduling algorithm also does not assume full control over the transmission because of optimizations made by the transmission modules to maximize achieved capacity.
