The IEEE 802.11 based wireless local area networks are candidates to lead the broadband connectivity in the home and office scenarios. Recently IEEE proposed the 802.11e as a new standard to provide appropriate Quality of Services to a plethora of emerging real-time multimedia and high demanding applications such as high definition movie and audio distribution, video-conference and voice over IP. This paper studies the IEEE 802.11e/IEEE 802.11b interactions focusing on potential unfairness problems that might appear in networks with heterogeneous wireless LAN technologies as well as in the IEEE 802.11e deployment phase.

As the current IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN standard provides the unified channel access procedure for each traffic service without considering its own traffic characteristics, it is difficult to get its differentiated service qualities at IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN system. To solve this limit, IEEE 802.11e standard that can provide differentiated service to each traffic is under preparation. In this study, we implemented IEEE 802.11e EDCA channel access scheme with NS-2 simulator, and showed its numerical results in various system environments with using average delay and throughput as performance measures.

WMNs(Wireless Mesh Networks)은 기존 유 무선망 구축 시 발생하는 고가의 비용 및 이동성 제약 등의 단점을 극복하기 위해 제안된 네트워크 구조로써 네트워크 구축비용에 비해 광범위한 인터넷 접근영역을 제공하는 장점을 가진다. 특히, IEEE 802.11e를 MAC 계층으로 사용하는 WMN은 기존 IEEE802.11에서 보다 강화된 QoS(Quality of Service)기능을 가지므로, 안정적 멀티미디어 관련 응용 계층을 지원하는 WMN 구축을 위해 주목받고 있는 기술 중 하나이다. 본 논문은 광주과학기술원에 설치된 MIMC(Multi-Interface Multi-Channel) WMN 테스트베드를 QoS 기능 지원을 위해 IEEE 802.11e 기반으로 확장한다. 특히, 확장에 필요한 소프트웨어 요소 및 하드웨어 요소에 대해 논한다. 또한, 확장된 IEEE 802.11e WMN 테스트베드를 사용하여 현재 주목받고 있는 IEEE 802.11e기반 WMN의 기본 쓰루풋 성능, 쓰루풋 차별화 성능등을 실험적으로 분석한다.

Wireless LAN(Local Area Network) environment to support QoS in IEEE802.11 Working Group has standardized on the IEEE 802.11e. IEEE 802.11e EDCA channel access of the high priority traffic as by raising the probability of a chance to support QoS. This is a high priority traffic than low priority traffic, channel access is not necessarily the first. Therefore, as all traffic channels, if you have the same routing path, lower priority traffic on the performance of high priority traffic, sustainable impact. As a result, EDCA, such as voice or video to guarantee QoS for multimedia applications, follow the crowd. In this paper, to solve these problems by using Multi-Interface Multi-Path Routing Algorithm is proposed. Interface for each use in IEEE 802.11e EDCA Access Category much differently by each of the Routing Path for high priority traffic and guarantee QoS.

This paper derives medium access delay of each AC(Access Category) in a stationary station using inter-departure time of IEEE 802.11e WLAN(Wireless LAN). Inter-departure time of IEEE 802.11e WLAN is obtained using saturation throughput of IEEE 802.11e WLAN which was the topic of our prior work. By using a simple queueing model, we evaluate mean queue length and mean delay for each AC on stationary condition. We calculate performance of each AC using this simple model and validate results using simulation.

Efforts for standardization of medium access control (MAC) protocol in IEEE802.11e have been made to support quality of service (QoS) in IEEE802.11e MAC protocol. Enhanced disoibuted coordination function (EDCF) of 802.11e MAC protocol is modified to support QoS for packets that have differentiated priority. However, EDCF still has the problem of throughput optimization and priority support. Therefore, we have proposed a scheme called adaptive EDCF for both supporting priority of packets and throughput optimization. We have derived the relation between the number of nodes and contention window size for throughput optimization. Based on the analytic results, we have evaluated the performance of the proposed scheme using OPNET simulations. The simulation results show that using the proposed scheme can improve the overall throughput regardless of the number of nodes and the decrement of the throughput with increasing the number of nodes can be alleviated. Additionally, we have shown that the adaptive EDCF can support priority of packets more effectively than existing EDCF.

With the appearance of various types of traffic services in communication networks, a study on QoS(Quality of Service) packet scheduling mechanisms which can support differentiated service to each traffic service becomes very important. To meet this requirement, IEEE 802.11 Working Group established the IEEE 802.11e MAC protocol which categorizes every traffic services into 4 access categories(AC) and provides the differentiated service to each AC. In addition, the physical layer of IEEE 802.11a/g standards provide up to 54 Mbps transmission rate per one wireless LAN terminal. However, since the radio resource is hardly limited in wireless channel, it is necessary to find an efficient packet scheduling scheme to maximize the transmission efficiency. Therefore, in this paper, we proposed a new packet scheduling scheme that can enhance the total throughput by setting different contention windows(CW) of CSMA-CA channel access scheme to each wireless LAN terminal according its current channel states. Numerical results derived from using NS-2 network simulator have shown that our proposed packet scheduling scheme can enhance the performance of IEEE 802.11e more and more.

Every MAC (Medium Access Control) sub-layers of IEEE 802.11x, including IEEE 802.11e, defines Connection-based and CF (Contention Free)-based service functions in common. In this paper, a New-CF method is proposed. In the proposed method, conventional Round Robin method, which is used as a polling method by IEEE 802.11x PCF (Point Coordination Function) or IEE 802.11e HCCA, is modified to give weights to channels with heavier traffic load and to provide those weighted channels with more services. Based on NS-2 simulations, it is verified the proposed method shows better throughput in general, particularly under unbalanced traffic load conditions.
