Abstract 802.11e is a protocol extension for the IEEE 802.11 radio communication standard, for enabling radio networks to meet data throughput and transmission delay requirements, hence, to support quality of service. Home networks with their characteristic applications voice, video, and interactive data, typically require quality of service. This thesis provides an overview about the protocol extension, and analyzes the limits of IEEE 802.11e for different scenarios. The new coordination function of the IEEE 802.11e protocol is analyzed in detail. The specific problem of quality of service support in coexistence scenarios of co-located radio networks is discussed. Game models are used to analyze the mutual influence of coexisting radio networks, and to develop new approaches for quality of service support. The competition between radio networks evaluated with a Nash analysis. Results indicate that the developed algorithms may help radio networks to improve their quality of service support, and the overall spectrum efficiency, when coexisting radio networks share radio resources.
