The IEEE 802.11 standard specifies the point coordination function (PCF) in the media
access control (MAC) sublayer for the transfer of real‐time traffic, such as voice. The transfer …

There are two essential ingredients for any telecommunications system to be able to provide
quality-of-service (QoS) guarantees: admission control (CAC) and service differentiation. In …

The IEEE 802.11 standard specifies the point coordination function (PCF) in the MAC
sublayer for the transfer of real-time traffic, such as voice. The transfer of real-time traffic over …

Supporting application QoS in wireless environment remains a challenging task due to the
inherent constraints of wireless interfaces (resource scarcity, signal quality, etc.). While …

In IEEE 802.11 infrastructure wireless local area networks (IWLANs), most of data frames are
transmitted between access point (AP) and wireless stations (STAs). The data transmission …

Recent researches in wireless local area networks (WLANs) have shown the challenges in
providing an effective scheme to realize high throughput and transmission of real‐time traffic …

This paper considers an efficient scheduling policy for Bluetooth Medium Access Control
(MAC) and its parameter optimization method. The proposed algorithm improves …

Abstract The IEEE 802.11 MAC (Media Access Control) Protocol supports two modes of
operation, a random access mode for nonreal-time data applications processed by …

In order to reduce cost and administration task, it is desirable for operators to share their
WLAN infrastructure (W. Zhuang et al., 2003). In this paper, we focus on bandwidth …

In recent years, the issue of quality of service (QoS) in wireless LANs (WLANs) has been the
focus of researches. Previous works usually use different backoff scheme and inter-frame …
