Abstract
SUMMARY This paper proposes a multi-dimensional Markov model to analyse the performance of the IEEE 802.11e EDCF MAC protocol. Based on this model, we present extensive performance evaluation in terms of throughput, throughput ratios, and access delay of flows of distinct priorities under RTS/CTS mode. We also provide quantitative analysis of the impact of prioritized parameters, i.e. Arbitration InterFrame Space (AIFS), Contention Window (CW) on Quality of Service (QoS) differentiation. The accuracy of the proposed model is verified by means of comparing the numerical results obtained from both analytical model and simulations. Our research can be used as a guideline for the prediction of how flows belonging to a certain Traffic Category (TC) perform with their TC-specific parameters, as well as designing EDCFbased WLANs and tuning the parameters to achieve the desirable differentiated QoS objectives.
