Abstract
Network convergence has vital importance due to limited network resources. Though it decreases network cost, it also reduces Quality of Service (QoS) as well. Due to the increase in real-time network applications, such as video conferencing and voice over IP calls, there is a need to achieve fairness in user's demand through QoS. QoS measurement tasks are more challenging and increased network losses in infrastructure less network. QoS is not yet implemented in Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) using Software Defined Network (SDN). We have proposed a model to support QoS in WLAN using SDN architecture for real-time traffic. It is efficiently utilizing bandwidth and reducing flow starvation due to centralize control. We named it, an Adaptive QoS model. This model allocates queues dynamically to flows using real-time traffic analysis in SDN architecture. A specific queue is allocated to a specific type of traffic. Flows are dynamically switched based on the increase in traffic demand if other queues are under-use. We achieved handsome improvement in Adaptive QoS model rather than a standard QoS model in terms of throughput and losses.
