On the Effectiveness of IEEE 802.11e QoS Support in Wireless LAN: A Performance Analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
The IEEE 802.11e draft is a proposal defining the mechanisms for wireless LANs aiming to provide QoS support to time-sensitive applications, such as, voice and video communications. The 802.11e group is currently working hardly, but the ratification of the standard has a long way to go. In this paper we carry out a performance analysis on the effectiveness of the IEEE 802.11e (EDCA) upcoming standard. We show that the defaults parameters setting recommended in the EDCA draft standard by 802.11e group do not fulfill the requirements of time-sensitive services, such as, voice and video. We show that the performance of EDCA can be improved by properly tuning its parameters.

متن کاملProvisioning QoS Support for Multimedia Traffic in IEEE 802.11 WLANs: A Performance Evaluation
The IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN (WLAN) is the most widely used standard nowadays for wireless LAN technology. However, the current standard does not provide QoS support required by the wide range of end applications (e.g., multimedia communications). Thus, a large number of enhancements to the standard are being proposed. This paper summarizes some of the most relevant schemes and presents a surve...

The upcoming new standard IEEE 802.11e aims at providing Quality of Service (QoS) support in 802.11 Wireless LANs. While the QoS mechanisms in 802.11e, namely the EDCF and the HCF, have already been defined in the standard draft, the challenge lies in the configuration of these mechanisms in order to provide the desired services. In this paper, we deal with the configuration of the EDCF in orde...
