Buffer Management Algorithms and Its Application in Wireless Networks

A systematic classification method aimed at packet-dropping-based buffer management algorithms is present, some dominant algorithms and their variations in today's network are introduced, including some new buffer management algorithms which based on control theories and fuzzy logic, and gives advice on future research for solving the present problems. Because of unique issues in the wireless channel, some modifications are needed when apply these algorithms to wireless network. We present some advices and basic thoughts on this problem.
