Abstract

IEEE 802.11e EDCA can be used to provide Quality of Service (QoS) in an ad hoc network at the Medium Access Control (MAC) layer. In this paper, we describe a model for the analysis of IEEE 802.11e EDCA for an ad hoc network. Our model is based on the differentiation among different classes of traffic based on the size of Contention Window (CW), and Arbitration Inter-Frame Space (AIFS). During our analysis, we focus on the following parameters: (i) average end-to-end delay, and (ii) throughput. To validate our analysis, we carried out simulations and found that the results obtained analytically are in accordance with those obtained through simulations.
