Central to our proposed cross-layer design is the concept of adaptation. Adaptation represents the ability to adjust protocol stacks and applications to respond to channel variations. We focus our cross-layer design especially on the application media access control MAC and physical layers. The network is designed based on our proposed fast frequency-hopping orthogonal frequency division multiplex OFDM technique. We also propose a QoS-awareness scheduler and a power adaptation transmission scheme operating at both the base station and mobile sides. The proposed MAC scheduler coordinates the transmissions of an IP base station and mobile nodes. The scheduler also selects appropriate transmission formats and packet priorities for individual users based on current channel conditions and the users QoS requirements. The test results show that our cross-layer design provides an excellent framework for wireless QoS content delivery.

INTRODUCTION As mobile cellular networks are evolving to carry voice video and data services an all-Internet protocol- IP- based system including a radio access network and a core network akin to the Internet is likely to become the most favorable solution for future wireless .
