Improving QoS and throughput in single- and multihop WLANs through dynamic traffic prioritization.

Improving QoS and throughput in single- and multihop WLANs through dynamic traffic prioritization.

Nowadays, research efforts are being put into the design of effective mechanisms to provide service quality differentiation in IEEE 802.11-based wireless LANs. In this article we analyze the effects of augmenting the contention-based channel access mechanism of IEEE 802.11e through the assignment of...
