Abstract
SummaryHybrid coordination function controlled channel access (HCCA) is a medium to enhance quality of service (QoS) via the IEEE 802.11e standard. The main limitation of HCAA is that it is only efficient for constant bit rate (CBR) applications. This is due to the nature of its scheduler that allocates transmission opportunities (TXOPs) based on traffic stream (TS) specifications (TSPECs) that are determined during the traffic setup time. Variable bit rate (VBR) traffics used in HCCA have nondeterministic profile, making it not optimally and efficiently supported by HCCA. The result of this inefficiency is a deterioration of the transmission performance of multimedia data as well as a drop in the number of served QoS video traffics. We propose a novel approach to deal with this issue, which is the feedback‐based admission control unit (FACU). FACU works by optimizing the usage of extra bandwidth to ensure optimal transmission performance of multimedia data. FACU achieves this by exploiting piggybacked information concerning sequential video frames in order to accurately assign the TXOP. The proposed approach is evaluated by utilizing various video sequences. It is demonstrated that FACU maximizes the overall number of video streams and optimizes the overall usage of the network without having any adverse effects on the QoS constraints determined.
