A Modified EDCF to support QoS in IEEE 802.11 Wireless LANs

This paper describes an adaptive service differentiation scheme for QoS enhancement in IEEE 802.11 wireless ad-hoc networks. Our approach is called Dynamic Age-Dependent Backoff (DADB) which is derived from the ADB scheme and aims to improve the ADB scheme when the traffic load is high. Improvement of our scheme are provisioned by adjusting the size of the persistent factor of high traffic categories taking into account both age time of frame and network conditions.
We evaluate the performance of DADB through simulations and compare it with the ADB scheme proposed in the 802.11e. Results show that our scheme DADB is similar to ADB scheme which can improve the delay and jitter in wireless network. Especially at high traffic load conditions, DADB outperforms the basic ADB: our scheme improve the throughput of high priority traffic category and decrease collision rate when traffic load is heavy.
