Abstract
The upcoming IEEE 802.11e is an extension of the 802.11 Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) standard. We use this new standard with its priority provisioning mechanism to address fairness issues that occur when geographically co-located WLANs share the radio channel in the so-called Overlapping Basic Service Set environment. By allowing a new mechanism that is part of the 802.11e, called EDCF-TXOP bursting, we show that WLANs will gain from intelligent radio resource control in a fair manner. A WLAN that applies EDCF-TXOP bursting can significantly improve its performance compared to a WLAN that does not utilize EDCF-TXOP bursting.
