Providing Throughput Guarantees in 802.11e WLAN Through a Dynamic Priority Assignment Mechanism

Supporting real-time and interactive traffic in addition to traditional data traffic with a best-effort nature represents a constantly rising need in any kind of telecommunications environment. The IEEE 802.11 based WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) environment does not represent an exception. This is why at different protocol layers, and primarily at the MAC layer, many efforts are being put by both the research community and the standardization bodies to design effective mechanisms for user QoS (Quality of Service) differentiation. Although early results are coming into sight, such as, for example, the IEEE 802.11e standard release, still a thorough research activity is required. Aim of the present paper is to contribute to the cited research issue by proposing an improvement to the “static” traffic prioritisation mechanism foreseen by the IEEE 802.11e MAC (Medium Access Control) protocol. This latter shows a twofold drawback. First, there is no certainty that QoS requirements relevant to a given application are always fulfilled by the “statically” associated priority. Second, resource requests of the applications are not adapted to the (usually highly) variable traffic conditions of a distributed WLAN environment. The algorithm we propose is specifically tailored to “dynamically” assign 802.11e MAC priorities, depending on both application QoS requirements and observed network congestion conditions. It is carefully designed, implemented into a system simulation tool, and its highly effective behaviour assessed under variable traffic and system conditions.

FHCF: A Simple and Efficient Scheduling Scheme for IEEE 802.11e Wireless LAN

The IEEE 802.11e medium access control (MAC) layer protocol is an emerging standard to support quality of service (QoS) in 802.11 wireless networks. Some recent work shows that the 802.11e hybrid coordination function (HCF) can improve significantly the QoS support in 802.11 networks. A simple HCF referenced scheduler has been proposed in the 802.11e which takes into account the QoS requirements of flows and allocates time to stations on the basis of the mean sending rate. As we show in this paper, this HCF referenced scheduling algorithm is only efficient and works well for flows with strict constant bit rate (CBR) characteristics. However, a lot of real-time applications, such as videoconferencing, have some variations in their packet sizes, sending rates or even have variable bit rate (VBR) characteristics. In this paper we propose FHCF, a simple and efficient scheduling algorithm for 802.11e that aims to be fair for both CBR and VBR flows. FHCF uses queue length estimations to tune its time allocation to mobile stations. We present analytical model evaluations and a set of simulations results, and provide performance comparisons with the 802.11e HCF referenced scheduler. Our performance study indicates that FHCF provides good fairness while supporting bandwidth and delay requirements for a large range of network loads.
