This paper presents a general model to study the medium access control (MAC) layer performance and equilibrium of WLANs consisting of nodes with different MAC parameters (e.g., ba...
Despite its support of prioritized services, the IEEE 802.11e Enhanced Distributed Channel Access (EDCA) cannot guarantee strict QoS required by real-time services such as voice a...
— An analytical model is proposed to describe the priority schemes of the Enhanced Distributed Channel Access (EDCA) mechanism of the IEEE 802.11e standard. EDCA provides class-b...
— IEEE 802.11 WLAN has been widely accepted throughout the world. However, it has large overhead due to idle backoff slots and frequent collisions depending on the number of node...
— This paper presents an analytical approach to determining the maximum number of on/off voice flows that can be supported over a wireless local area network (WLAN), under a qua...
