Throughput and QoS Optimization in IEEE 802.11 WLAN

چکیده
In a wireless LAN (WLAN) based on IEEE 802.11, supporting multiple classes of services with QoS constraints in MAC layer is very important. In this paper, we propose a class-based analytical model to support multiple traffic classes. Through investigating the relationship between access control parameters, such as contention window (CW) sizes and inter-frame space (IFS) under QoS constraints, we derive a mathematical model to characterize the MAC behavior. In particular, we present an optimal solution which maximizes the throughput while satisfying the QoS requirements. Simulation results demonstrate the accuracy of our proposed model. Keywords— Medium access control (MAC), wireless LAN (WLAN), IEEE 802.11, quality of service (QoS).

Performance Evaluation of Flows with Diverse Traffic and Transmission Rates in IEEE 802.11 WLAN
IEEE 802.11 WLAN cannot guarantee the QoS of applications, thus admission control has been proposed as an essential solution to enhance the QoS. Packet delay and throughput are commonly employed as assessment criterions to determine whether a new connection can be admitted into the WLAN. Considering the real network condition, the analytical model is presented in this paper, which is aimed to e...

متن کاملResolving Collisions in IEEE 802.11 by means of Contention Window Reservation Scheduling
The random backoff contention window algorithm implemented in the IEEE 802.11 Distributed Coordination Function (DCF) provides a certain degree of collision mitigation. However, the issue of high collision rates within the IEEE 802.11 contention mode in a wireless local area network (WLAN) with high number of nodes is still not resolved. High packet collision rates result in throughput degradat...
