Enhanced QoS Mechanisms for IEEE 802.11e Wireless Networks

چکیده
The quality-of-service (QoS) support for wireless LANs has been a hot research topic during the past few years. In this paper, two QoS provisioning mechanisms are proposed for the employment in 802.11e EDCA MAC scheme. First, the proposed call admission control mechanism can not only guarantee the QoS for the higher priority existing connections but also provide the minimum reserved bandwidth for traffic flows with lower priority. In addition, the adaptive contention window adjustment mechanism can adjust the maximum and minimum contention window size dynamically according to the existing connection number of each AC. The collision probability as well as the packet delay will thus be reduced effectively. Performance results via simulations have revealed the enhanced QoS property achieved by employing these two mechanisms. Keywords—802.11e, admission control, contention window, EDCA

Qos Support for Ieee 802.11 Wireless Lan∗
In today’s Internet, the emerging widespread use of real-time voice, audio, and video applications makes Quality of service (QoS) a key problem. Meanwhile, the Internet is getting heterogeneous due to the explosive evolution of wireless networks. QoS support in wireless networks is more challenging than in the wired networks since bandwidth is scarce, latency and bit error rate are high and cha...

In this paper, a comprehensive overview of the new features of an upcoming new standard IEEE 802.11e to support Quality of Service (QoS) in Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) is presented. We address Medium Access Control (MAC) enhancements found in the current 802.11e draft specification by emphasizing the differences from the legacy 802.11 standard. New mechanisms for QoS support, namely En...
متن کاملStudy of Quality of Service by using 802.11e
Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) are one of the fastest growing wireless access technologies. The IEEE 802.11 Standard doesn’t support any QoS mechanisms. IEEE 802.11 MAC layer supports two basic access mechanisms, DCF (Distributed Coordination Function) and PCF (Point Coordination Function). The EDCA mechanism of the IEEE 802.11e standard provides QoS support through service differentiatio...

Although the 802.11e extension of the IEEE 802.11 standard for wireless local area network was concerned to provide Quality of Service, such provisioning cannot be achieved without specific traffic control mechanisms. In this paper, the use of admission control based on measurement for QoS provision in 802.11e networks is evaluated. It is shown that QoS differentiation can be obtained with the ...

Quality of Service (QoS) of IEEE 802.11e is currently under research for the upcoming multimedia applications over broadband wireless networks. IEEE 802.11e is a contention based channel access function that uses the enhanced distributed channel access (EDCA) techniques. EDCA statically resets the Contention Window (CW) after each successful transmission. This article discusses a fuzzy logic ap...
