IEEE 802.11 WLAN
• IEEE 802.11 MAC Can be considered a wireless version of
Ethernet Best-Effort Traffic Referred as legacy MAC
• Currently the IEEE 802.11 Working Group is defining a supplement to support Quality of Service (QoS): IEEE 802.11e MAC Multimedia services

IEEE 802.11 WLAN MAC
• MAC is based on logical functions: Distributed Coordination Function (DCF)
– Based on Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance (CSMA/CA)
Point Coordination Function (PCF)– Poll and Response mechanism
• MAC works with a single FIFO queue
![Page 5: IEEE 802.11 EDCF: a QoS Solution for WLAN Javier del Prado 1 , Sunghyun Choi 2 and Sai Shankar 1](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56814e0b550346895dbb7778/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

The DCF of the 802.11 MAC
• Distributed MAC based on local assessment of the channel: is the medium busy?

Backoff Process
• Each station maintains its Contention Window (CW) value to select the Backoff Count (BO)
• The BO is a pseudorandom integer drawn from [0,CW]
• The CW is determined as follows: Originally is assigned CWmin After unsuccessful transmission:
CW := 2 · (CW + 1) – 1 Upper Bound of CWmax CW is reset to CWmin after successful
transmission

The Enhanced DCF for QoS: EDCF
EDCF Bursting
![Page 8: IEEE 802.11 EDCF: a QoS Solution for WLAN Javier del Prado 1 , Sunghyun Choi 2 and Sai Shankar 1](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56814e0b550346895dbb7778/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

The Enhanced DCF (EDCF)
• Extension of the legacy DCF MAC for QoS• Defined in 802.11e Draft • Ability to differentiate frames with
different priorities Each frame from higher layers carries its
user priority (UP) value: supported up to 8 UPs
• Provides differentiated channel accesses to frames with different UPs
![Page 9: IEEE 802.11 EDCF: a QoS Solution for WLAN Javier del Prado 1 , Sunghyun Choi 2 and Sai Shankar 1](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56814e0b550346895dbb7778/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

EDCF
• AIFS[UP] and CWmin[UP] instead of DIFS, and CWmin
![Page 10: IEEE 802.11 EDCF: a QoS Solution for WLAN Javier del Prado 1 , Sunghyun Choi 2 and Sai Shankar 1](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56814e0b550346895dbb7778/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

EDCF Contention Parameters
• AIFS[UP] PIFS to protect Acknowledgement (ACK) transmission
• AIFS[UP] and CWmin[UP] announced by AP in beacon frames
• The smaller AIFS[UP], CWmin[UP] the shorter the channel access delay for UP
![Page 11: IEEE 802.11 EDCF: a QoS Solution for WLAN Javier del Prado 1 , Sunghyun Choi 2 and Sai Shankar 1](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56814e0b550346895dbb7778/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
11
EDCF Multiple Queues
• Multiple FIFO queues in the MAC: up to 8 queues• Every queue is an independent contention entity
with its own contention parameters
![Page 12: IEEE 802.11 EDCF: a QoS Solution for WLAN Javier del Prado 1 , Sunghyun Choi 2 and Sai Shankar 1](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56814e0b550346895dbb7778/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

EDCF Bursting
• EDCF TXOP limit announced in beacon frames by AP
• Legacy 802.11 allows single frame transmission
• EDCF Bursting: allows transmission of multiple frames within a time limit called Transmission Opportunity (TXOP)

Conclusions• Comparison between DCF and EDCF
EDCF can provide differentiated access among different user priorities
• Evaluated EDCF Bursting Increases throughput performance at the cost
of larger delays for voice Reduces contention overhead
• Admission control unit and traffic policer are needed More than two video stations can not be
accommodated
