Using the Active Queue Management Schemes to achieve intra-class fairness for the 802.11 WLAN EDCA queues
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper the unfairness problems in wireless 802.11 LAN are researched and studied via simulation. The contributions are twofold. First of all, the intra-class fairness of the EDCA queues for downlink streams, in the presence of bidirectional traffic is investigated. Secondly, Active Queue Management schemes are evaluated as an possible improvement for the intra-class fairness. The simulation results show that some algorithms provide more equal share of wireless channel as well as the lower drop rate. Key–Words: Active Queue Management, Wireless LAN, 802.11, Fairness

Fairness and Quality of Service Issues and Analysis of IEEE 802.11e Wireless LAN
The IEEE 802.11e which is an enhanced version of the 802.11 WLAN standards incorporates the Quality of Service (QoS) which makes it a better choice for multimedia and real time applications. In this paper we study various aspects concerned with 802.11e standard. Further, the analysis results for this standard are compared with the legacy 802.11 standard. Simulation results show that IEEE 802.11...

802.11b The legacy IEEE 801.11 doesn’t support QoS streams with priorities. It since causes some QoS demanding applications such as VoIP, Video streaming to be limited in its usefulness. Enhancements have been made to the MAC layer by the new 802.11e standard to support prioritized and parameterized QoS. The work of this paper is to simulate the new scheme and modify the existing OPNET WLAN MAC...
متن کاملOn the Shortcoming of EDCA Queues in the Presence of Multiservice Traffic
The paper aims at depicting certain limitations of EDCA queues related to the different traffic classes. Through simulation, we show main flaws of identical, medium size, Drop Tail queues used by default for each class, with reference to different traffic category’s requirements. We propose some substitutes such as differentiated, basically smaller buffer sizes and Active Queue Management mecha...
متن کاملComparison of modified dual queue and EDCA for VoIP over IEEE 802.11 WLAN
The popular IEEE 802.11 WLAN today does not provide any quality-of-service (QoS) because of its contention-based channel access nature of the medium access control (MAC). Therefore, we proposed a simple software upgrade-based solution, called a dual queue scheme, to provide QoS to real-time services such as Voice-over-IP (VoIP) in our previous work [7]. The dual queue scheme operates on top of ...
