Rathnakar Achary, V. Vaityanathan, Pethur Raj Chellaih, Nagarajan S . Enhanced QoS by Service Differentiation in MAC-Layer for WLAN. International Journal of Computer Applications. 55, 8 ( October 2012), 28-31. DOI=10.5120/8776-2714
IEEE 802. 11 wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) have become more and more popular due to easy to deployment and lower cost. It can only provide a best effort service and do not have quality of service (QoS) support for real time (RT) traffic. The IEEE Task Group has been proposed a new standard IEEE 802. 11e[1] to address this MAC-layer QoS issue of WLAN. In this paper we proposed a new service differentiation mechanism for admission control in the MAC layer of WLAN for enhancing the QoS.
