Abstract

To enhance the quality of service (QoS) support in IEE 802.11, IEEE 802.11e has been studied, which introduces the so-called hybrid coordination function (HCF). HCF includes two medium access mechanisms: contention-based channel access (EDCA), and contention-free channel access (HCCA). Although IEEE 802.11e has provided differentiated channel access mechanism, when call demand rises for important festivals such as New Year's Day or large scale natural disasters such as earthquakes, the delay of voice will increase and the QoS of voice nodes will drop down rapidly. Through our simulation study, in order to guarantee the QoS of emergency voice calls in congested situation, a higher priority for these calls will be required.
