Abstract— The IEEE 802.11e standard has recently been ratified. This standard provides Quality-of-Service (QoS) guarantees in the Medium Access Control (MAC) layer of 802.11 Wir...
We investigate the performance of the IEEE 802.11e while emphasizing on the end-to-end delay performance. In our MAC delay analysis, we are based on elementary conditional probabi...
