Analysis of the Distribution of the Backoff Delay in 802.11 DCF: A Step Towards End-to-End Delay Guarantees in WLANs
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we present an analytical method to study the distribution of the backoff delay in an 802.11 DCF WLAN under saturation conditions. We show that, with our method, the probability that the delay is below a given threshold can be computed accurately and efficiently. We also discuss how our analysis can be used to perform admission control on the number of accepted stations in the WLAN in order to provide delay assurances to real-time applications.

A Geometric Distribution for Backoff Time in IEEE 802.11 DCF: An Analytical Study
Today’s networks, including WLANs, transport different classes of services. A service differentiation is then essential to provide QoS. However, IEEE 802.11 for WLANs was primarily designed for best effort traffic and did not provide QoS specifications. IEEE 802.11e MAC has been then described to support QoS in WLAN. In this paper, we propose a new scheme for service differentiation which is ba...
