Admission control in IEEE 802.11 networks

Abstract

The IEEE 802.11e standard is intended to support applications with QoS requirements. Such support is achieved by using differentiated categories for medium access. When the number of active stations is high, collision rate increases, affecting goodput and delay. In this paper, the effectiveness of two mechanisms for measurement-based admission control in 802.11e networks are evaluated. B.
