Abstract -- In this paper, we study the provision of perclass QoS for IEEE 802.11e Enhanced Distributed Channel Access (EDCA) WLANs. We propose two mechanisms, called BIWF-SP and I...
The specific challenges of multihop wireles networks lead to a strong research effort on efficient protocols design where the offered capacity is a key objective. More specifically...
—Third Generation (3G) cellular networks take advantage of time-varying and location-dependent channel conditions of mobile users to provide broadband services. Under fairness an...
— The performance of wireless data systems has been thoroughly studied in the context of a single base station. In the present paper we analyze networks with several interacting ...
—The distributed nature of the CSMA/CA based wireless protocols, e.g., the IEEE 802.11 distributed coordinated function (DCF), allows malicious nodes to deliberately manipulate t...
