General Model for Single and Multiple Channels WLANs with Quality of Service Support

Abstract

In this paper we develop an intergraded model for request mechanism and data transmission in the uplink phase in the presence of channel noise. This model supports quality of service. The wireless channel is prone to many impairments. Thus, certain techniques have to be developed to deliver data to the receiver. We calculated the performance parameters for single and multichannel wireless networks, like the requests throughput, data throughput and the requests acceptance probability and data acceptance probability. The proposed model is general model since it can be applied to different wireless networks such as IEEE802.11a, IEEE802.16e, CDMA operated networks and Hiperlan\2.
