Abstract

Although the physical transmission rate increases rapidly, the quality of service (QoS) support for real-time traffic is still a challenge. 802.11 EDCA can only provide service differentiation, but not ensure the QoS as expected because of the uncertain short-term prioritized access and restrained high-priority traffic capacity problems. This paper proposes a distributed MAC protocol called in-band busy tone (IBT) protocol to address both the problems simultaneously. It uses the in-band busy tone reservation and preemptive scheduling schemes to provide the deterministic prioritized channel access, and improves the real-time traffic capacity through the optimized CW settings. Simulation results demonstrate that the IBT performs much better than EDCA on supporting the QoS of the real-time traffic.
