QoS Support for Time-Constrained Multimedia Communications in IEEE 802.11 WLANs: A Performance Evaluation

2005

During the past few years, we have been witnessing the massive deployment of IEEE 802.11 wireless LANs. Even though the widespread deployment of such wireless LANs, many studies are still underway aiming to design and develop simple yet effective QoS mechanisms for supporting time-constrained services over such platforms. In this paper, we first overview five different QoS mechanisms recently introduced in the literature as well as the upcoming IEEE 802.11e (EDCA) standard. We then carry out a comparative performance evaluation of all the QoS mechanisms. We focus our study on the effectiveness of the various QoS mechanisms for supporting time-constrained services.

Guaranteed access mode for downlink traffic over IEEE 802.11 WLANs

2011

IEEE 802.11 networks present an unfairness problem between the downlink and uplink traffic, using the default settings of the Enhanced Distributed Channel Access (EDCA). In order to reduce this unfairness, the Access Point (AP) can adapt the standard parameters, but this is not enough. In this paper, we propose simple and efficient solutions, which are implemented at the AP, thus they are standard compatible and no modifications to the current hardware and protocol stacks are needed. These solutions aim at providing guaranteed access to the downlink traffic when the AP perceives the unfairness problem. Our simulation results show a reduction in the unfairness and an enhancement in network p…
