Abstract
The point coordination function of IEEE 802.11 is defined to support time bounded traffic in wireless LANs. However, current WLAN standard does not consider the traffic characteristics such as time bound traffic, null poll, and priority. In the case of time bounded traffic, PCF must evolve to support degrees of priority. In this paper, we proposed an adaptive polling scheme to increase the performance of wireless LANs. Moreover, we focused to a polling schedule to serve voice traffic. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme is more efficient than using only standards.
