Abstract

In this paper we propose a novel media access control (MAC) architecture to support differentiated service in IEEE 802.11 WLAN. By employing the MAC-core as base and different adaptors as add-ons in this architecture, the resulting MAC can provide prioritized services with different delays and throughputs. Our simulation studies show that the resulting MAC protocols based on this architecture can achieve low access delay and high throughput for high priority traffic while maintaining fairness.
