A new approach to services differentiation between mobile terminals of a wireless LAN

Abstract

This study aims to identify the advantages and disadvantages of several mechanisms for service differentiation in mobile terminals of a wireless LAN to establish a more better and more optimal. At the end of the analysis of available approaches for the quality of service of the IEEE 802.11 standard, the objective of this paper is to suggest a new method named DF-DCF Differentiated Frame DCF. The performance of the suggested method in a Network Simulator (NS) environment allowed its validation through a set of testing and simulation scenarios. Simulation results have shown that the DF-DCF method is better suited for mobile nodes in a wireless communication network.
