On the Service Differentiation Capabilities of EY-NPMA and 802.11 DCF

چکیده
Most existing WLAN access mechanisms cannot provide QoS assurances. Even those that are QoS aware can only provide relative service differentiation. Based on EY-NPMA, the HIPERLAN Medium Access Control algorithm, we propose a dynamic priority medium access scheme to provide time-bounded services. By approximating an ideal Earliest Deadline First (EDF) scheduler, the proposed scheme can offer delay and delay jitter assurances while achieving high medium utilization. Furthermore, we compare our scheme with a mechanism that enhances the IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol with QoS support. Simulation studies document and confirm the positive characteristics of the proposed

Two Alternative Schemes to EY-NPMA for Medium Access in High Bitrate Wireless LANs
The growing penetration of WLANs in the market, as well as the wider spectrum of applications that these kinds of networks are called to support, demands the introduction of new methods for efficient medium access. Today, the two dominating paradigms in medium access control are those of dynamic assignment and contention based ones. EY-NPMA is a contention based scheme that exhibits very low co...
متن کاملActive Signaling for 802.11 Networks in the ns-3 Simulator
In wireless networks, wireless channels are often shared between multiple nodes, which may interfere when they transmit simultaneously. The media access control (MAC) scheme coordinates channel access between the different nodes. In this article, we focus one specific method of channel access, Elimination-Yield Non-Preemptive Priority Multiple Access, EYNPMA, which is part of the European stand...
متن کاملAnalysis of the IEEE 802.11 DCF with Service Differentiation Support in Non-saturation Conditions
Although the performance analysis of the IEEE 802.11 Distributed Coordination Function (DCF) in saturation state has been extensively studied in the literature, little work is present on performance analysis in non-saturation state. In this paper, a simple model is proposed to analyze the performance of IEEE 802.11 DCF with service differentiation support in non-saturation states, which helps t...
متن کاملService Differentiation of IEEE 802.11e
The type of the applications for which Internet is being used has changed over the years. Multimedia applications, Real-time applications and Game playing require Quality of service. IEEE has proposed IEEE 802.11e, a quality of service extension to the wireless LAN standard IEEE 802.11. In this paper service differentiation ability of 802.11e is evaluated. Identical traffic is considered for al...
متن کاملPriority-Based MAC Protocol For Vehicle Collision-Avoidance System Via Inter-Vehicle Communication Networks
In this paper, we propose an approach to vehicle collision-avoidance system by broadcasting vehicles’ driving conditions via Inter-Vehicle Communication (IVC) networks. We study the use of Elimination Yield Nonpreemptive Priority Multiple Access (EY-NPMA) Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol. This protocol is used in the High Performance Radio LAN (HIPERLAN) system being developed in Europe. In...
