MAC layer solutionsIEEE 802.11e (1) • Enhanced Distributed Coordination Function • The frames from higher layer carries its User Priority (UP) • MAC layer maps it into an Access Category (AC) • Each AC has different parameters, such as CWmin, CWmax, TXOP, AIFS • TXOP is defined as an interval of time when a station has the right to initiate transmissions • when detecting a channel is idle, each AC starts a back-off counter after AIFS (Arbitration Inter-Frame Space) AIFS[i] = SIFS + AIFSN[i] * slottime • AIFSN[i] is the AIFS slot count for priority class i. • For high priority classes, low AIFSN values are assigned. • After waiting for AIFS, back-off counter is select from a random number: [1, CW[i]+1] for each class i with AIFSN[i] = 1 [0, CW[i]] for other classes i with AIFSN[i]>1

MAC layer solutionsIEEE 802.11e (3) • Hybrid Coordination Function • Conbines features of EDCF and PCF • Only in infrastructure-based BSSs that provides QoS (QBSS) • HCF uses a QoS-aware point coordinator, called HC • HC can start contention-free controlled access periods (CAPs) at any time in CP • During CAP, HC may transmit frames and polls to stations which grant them TXOPs • A superframe can be divided into CFP, CP, CAP
MAC layer solutionsIEEE 802.11e (4) • During the CP,each TXOP begins • When the channel is determined available by EDCF • When a station receives a QoS CF-poll frame form HC 本圖取自"Ad Hoc Wireless Networks", by C. Siva Ram Murthy and B. S. Manoj, published by Prentice Hall, 2004
