In this paper, a unified analytical framework is established to study the stability, throughput,
and delay performance of homogeneous buffered IEEE 802.11 networks with Distributed …

Under a multirate network scenario, the IEEE 802.11 DCF MAC fails to provide airtime
fairness for all competing stations since the protocol is designed for ensuring max-min …

The enhanced distributed channel access (EDCA) mechanism of the IEEE 802.11 e
standard provides quality-of-service (QoS) support through service differentiation by using …

We propose an analytical model for the performance analysis of the enhanced distributed
channel access (EDCA) function of the IEEE 802.11 e standard. The proposed discrete-time …

A new approach for modeling and performance analysis of the IEEE 802.11 medium access
control (MAC) protocol is presented. The approach is based on the so-called system …

The Distributed Coordination Function (DCF) in the IEEE 802.11 protocol is a random
access scheme based on the carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance …

Voice over Internet protocol (VoIP) is one of the most important applications for IEEE 802.11
wireless local area networks (WLANs). For network planners who deploy VoIP over WLANs …

This paper introduces a finite load multi-class 802.11 e EDCF model that is simple enough
to be explicitly solvable. The model is nevertheless flexible enough to model the impact of …

Wireless local area networks are currently evolving to support adequate degrees of service
differentiation. Work is in progress to define an enhanced version of the IEEE 802.11 …

In the IEEE 802.11 MAC layer protocol, the basic access method is the Distributed
Coordination Function based on the CSMA/CA. In this paper, we investigate the analytic …
